Re: Misquoting Proves Nothing
There is, of course, the fact that the book of Revelations gives a fairly thorough account of what God thinks about the use of violence.

Re: Misquoting Proves Nothing
(no 's')
​
Ah yes, no s.
​
The problem is that most folk are not taught about the apocalyptic tradition and literature and so don't understand that it was speaking not of some distant future but rather the immediate era concurrent to when it was written.
​
Perhaps you could offer a blurb about what the apocalyptic tradition is and how it changes the prophesy of God's wrath into a message of love and kindness.
​
My point is that the Bible clearly describes God as a violent and vengeful creature both in the past and in the future. We are instructed, under threat of eternal damnation, to fear, emulate and worship this entity.

Re: Misquoting Proves Nothing
Which has nothing to do with Matthew 10:21.
​
Right but it has everything to do with God's appreciation for and the Bible's promotion of the efficacy of violence.

Re: Misquoting Proves Nothing
If you can't figure it out by looking at the picture on the box, you probably shouldn't be messing with it.
​
Normally I would agree but in this case there is nothing in the box apart from instructions.
