Indeed ignorance is expensive but worse still, insanity is real when you fight someone whom to you does not exist and then you turn to the Christians and say God is our imaginary friend.

The sword was figurative and it meant A SPLIT...A DIVISION....Same thing that happened when The parents of Jesus came to meet him at the temple and message was brought to Jesus that His parents were outside looking for Him and His response was WHO ARE MY PARENTS OR MY BROTHERS OR SISTERS....THOSE WHO DO THE WILL OF MY FATHER ARE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND MOTHER AND FATHER....That is the division the sword was talking about.

It means nothing else should matter except your salvation even if it means going against the dictates of your family which contravene the scriptures DO SO!


Oooooohhhh... The sword meant division, tell me more. . Just exactly what the video depicted, that's still what am seeing.. And I repeat, even if Jesus said "kill those who blaspheme", you'll interpret the "kill" as "preach to them".. . Nawa o..

I am sure some people who should know that an online dictionary is free still never make use of such. They reason from a black hole obviously and probably focus more on downloading video games than actually seeking knowledge which is why every single person on NL notices their shallow level of reasoning on first contact.

Is He not an imaginary enemy to you?

Sword is used to split or divide same way you use a knife to split a cake or cut it. You can keep being dishonest.

Jesus didn't really die on the cross, dying on the cross represents shame and rejection

God didn't really flood the world, the Flood represents cleaning the unclean, he wiped their hearts off evil deeds and they kept on living

Jesus didn't heal anyone, healing there represents courage and eating food

Jesus wasn't born of a virgin, virgin there represents born again since old things become new a spiritual hymen appears before the vag

Joseph wasn't really a carpenter, carpenter there represents male prostitute who crafts new creative clothing to help his business

god didn't really create the world by word, word there represents............

"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household." Matt. 10:34-36

Anybody who cannot see that the above is talking about division is either not intelligent or dishonest.

Have you asked yourself why verse 35 starts with the word "for"?

DoctorAlien Do you see how some peoples imagination can be running wild? They say God does not exist yet they keep fighting and lashing out at the same God that does not exist to them and they would turn to you and me and say Our God is imaginary. It makes me wonder who it is they are actually lashing out against and opening threads about or making hateful comments about?

Could their imagination also not be conjuring up images of this God as real? Or are they simply going crazy and fighting their imagination.

You must be a Child to criticize characters in a Novel under the assumption they are real.

The Bible is not a Novel as no Novel has been so widely embraced and experienced like it which is why its known the world over as A HOLY BOOK.


By the way if you say you are free to criticize the characters in a novel....may i ask to what end? Will the characters read about or hear your criticism so they can change next time they want to be used in another novel?

If a character in a novel is Jack and Jack was a bad guy in the novel and you spend days and weeks and sleepless nights Criticizing Jack who happens to be non existent but only alive in the Novel how does this make you look?

I ask because only a mentally tortured soul would look upon the characters in a fictitious Novel whom they have not met or experienced or felt or heard from and begin to talk about them all day.

I remember when we were Kids and we would gather and be discussing VOLTRON and TOM and JERRY or CAPTAIN PLANET as if they were actually real characters appearing in the television but as we grew up we realized they were all unreal and then we knew that ONLY KIDS REASON THAT WAY especially now that we know better as adults.

At least he knows that he is fighting to deliver people out of the hand of the demon called allah. His wrestle is against a demon which exists and enslaves many people. We wrestle against Satan and any way he manifests himself, be it islam, or atheism, hoping, perhaps, to save some souls on the way to destruction.

cheesy cheesy cheesy The Childish way you reason is astonishing!!!

History demonstrates that Jesus never wielded a sword against anyone, and in Matt. 10:34 he does not order his followers to swing one either, in order to kill their family opponents or for any reason. But a true disciple who is worthy of following Christ and who comes from a possibly hostile family has to use a sword of the will (never a physical sword) to sever away all opposition, even as far as taking up his cross. It is true that Jesus divides the world into two camps, those who follow him, and those who do not, those in the light, and those in the dark. However, he never tells his followers to wage war on everyone else, and certainly not on one’s family.

You should note that this applies only if the family rejects the new convert, not if the family accepts him in his new faith; he must not reject them, because the whole point of Jesus’ advent is to win as many people to his side as possible, even if this divides the world in two, but never violently.

the atheist is also fighting to deliver people out of the hands of delusion

First, we don't criticize god under the assumption that he is real!

Lol.. What if someone walks up to you and say he hates batman because batman is more like a bad guy, that opens an opportunity for a fun-driven argument, you guys can discuss about batman...

That's Exactly our stand on the criticisms of the Christian God, people actually believe he is real and good, and even try to make us believe in him.. Why the hell won't we criticize him?..

When someone walks up to you and says Harry Potter is real, can't you tell him Harry Potter is not real? Can't you discuss Harry Potter's role in the movie?
