There's a time for PEACE and a time for WAR. Ever heard of Armageddon? Read Ecclesiastes and Revelation one more time, you'll find the answer to your question....

I read Ecclesiastes and Revelation...but do I have to believe what it says? I read fairy tales for amusement only.

What do you want from me, Gus?....I don't talk to you in this manner.

No need to apologize. I thought nothing of it.

You have no proof....and that's the point your trying to drive home about anything referenced as "truth" in the Bible. Isn't it now, Gus?

You have 25 posts in this thread Randall...and they are all alike. Sniper attacks like the one you waged against Light in your prior post...without ever telling us in depth what you disagree with. You've done the same thing here with me.

You want to disagree with what we say here...fine. But do it while making some sort of statement of your own. These sniper attacks of yours, where you just show up to attack a poster and then disappear...don't do much for our discussion here.

I put up with a lot of nonsense from a number of people here at PA, same as you, but most of it is not of my doing, where yours is. That's the difference between us, though there's always been a mutual respect between us, you stir shit up, and I attempt to put an end to it......sniper style or whatever. You can have the last word of this conversation.

Remind me of a time when I "stirred shit up"...and you had to attempt to put an end to it.

Was this when I challenged a couple of "experts" here to a handicapping contest? It wasn't I who started that "shit"...and I proved that to you. As you say..."there is a time for PEACE...and a time for WAR".

There's even a long "clause" in Moses' "constitution" that instructs how wars are to be conducted. I guess there is such a thing as a just war.

How do you know they didn't arm themselves after Jesus ascended into heaven? After all, 2 was enough while he was around, but what about afterwards?

Also, how can we be sure there was only two? Aren't you an anti-literalist?

God Almighty had a fondness for stoning executions too, as I recall.

I suppose that would leave out chapter 20 of Deuteronomy as well, heh?

You mean sanctioning capital punishment in the Law of Moses? For your info, he sanctioned capital punishment long before the Law was given to the Jews.
