never forget that modern knowledge is tomorrow's superstition....

Numbers 31 (potentially NSFW): Numbers 31 NIV - Vengeance on the Midianites - The LORD - Bible Gateway

If I ever say I want to get biblical with some individual or group, this is what I'm generally talking about.

Since when do science and logic equate to religion? Next thing you know we will classify bald as a hair color.

Ezekiel 25:17. "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you!

YOU'RE THE MOTHER****ER WHO SHOULD BE ON BRAIN DETAIL! We're ****in' switchin'! I'm washin' the windows, and you're pickin' up this ******'s skull!

Jesus called people out of their stagnation, their comfortable way of living and looking at the world. Paul called people out of terrible religions and false belief. I have recognized quite well that the only thing responded to in this forum is strong words.

And why do you hold me to a higher standard than yourself? You are the one more commonly known for the drive by insults and slurs. Why the double standard?
All of these scriptures you mention pre-date Muhammad....
"The Messenger of Allah graced our world in Honorable Mecca in the year 571 of the common era, on the 12th morning of the Islamic lunar month of Raiulawwal. He belongs to the most honorable family in the tribe of Kuraish on both sides of his father and mother"

Marty, during this mans lifetime was seen the spread of Islam.
So.....the scriptures you have qouted were written long before the spread of Islam..meaning they could not have been refferring to Islam..because there was no Islam.

Your argument fails.

Based on some of the happenings that are in the bible, I'd have to disagree. Setting up someone for a torment session to win a bet? Ask a person to kill his son to prove loyalty? Thanks a bunch.

No need to accuse me of any prophetic claim.
So have you heard him talk back or is it a one way conversation and you rely on the idea that correlation proves causation?

You are neither. You aren't even a witness to Jesus being a deity and his magical works. The best you have is you are regurgitating something that has been regurgitated and regurgitated again and again.

In your last sentence, you prove once again that you will take no rresponsibility for your actions..all you have done is accuse me...Why the Holier than thou complex?
Why?...well because you are a hypocrite..thats why.
