    Oh boy, you generalize everything, don't you? America Tortures? Come on man, you gonna lump all of us Americans and say we torture? Please.

    You obviously haven't figured out the Bible yet. Christianity is the Old Testament that was fulfilled in the New Testament.

    Obviously you fail to understand.

You make generalizations about Christianity, but if you really knew about it, you'd know my answer is correct.
    Oh, well then I'll just bask in the glow of your wisdom, insight, all-knowing Christianity. Thank you for being a superior Christian than me. I'm sure I'll be well instructed in how to conduct myself based on your responses here. <-- Now that's some antagonism.

As far as using the word 'abomination', it is used in the Scriptures to show that something is defiling another. Combining Buddhism with Christianity defiles the main point of Christianity, which is redemption. I don't see where Shadows was being intolerant. However, it seems that the "Toleration Card" was pulled on him. THAT is what I get sick of.
    I agree that there's no point in combining religions. Buddhism and Christianity are very different both in regard to creation, a creator God, afterlife, daily practice etc etc. I've said that lots of times on this thread.

    I consider his response then to be intolerant and unnecessary. Abomination and hell are not words i would use to describe another religion. He didn't define abomination in the way you do, and I suspect it was the wider meaning intended.

    Anyway - on the general theme we agree.

    Does someone who is wise say to someone who is not, you're wise? No, they don't.

    You continue to label me with stereotypical words. But I brush them off.

    I guess you're right.

    but if you really knew about it, you'd know my answer is correct.
    I must be unwise, if you say so.

    I totally agree. It was God's plan from the start to send Christ as is seen as early as Genesis 3:15.

    Casually debunked crap.
    First they argue: The Old Testament (Judaism) still matters to Christians because the New Testament fulfills it. Go ask an atheist to quote HATE FROM THE BIBLE, what will they quote? Passage after passage from the Old Testament, a book of pure hate, murder, war, violence, racism, abuse of women, rape, and assorted vulgar filth.
    Second they argue: They love and serve their beloved Pharisee masters. Israel is sacred and holy. Judaism is sacred and holy. Hey wait? Your pals DENY CHRIST, they WIPE with your New Testament. Oh yes, YOU call yourself Judeo Christian. Do your Israeli Pharisee lords call themselves Judeo Christians? (long loud laughter) they would spit in your face over that INSULT. No, they do not. You call yourself a pawn of them. They NEVER call themselves a pawn of you. So, Israel is HERETIC? Yes or No? Enter the lies and babbling. There is no answer to this problem, because it IS A PROBLEM. You can't honestly do both. If Judaism is RIGHT AND PERFECT then Christ is a lie. If Christ is true, they are blasphemer heretics. I do have the answer. The answer is these are fake failed Christians. They deny Christ. They study Torah. They would be Jewish, but they see themselves as a lower race; since they are not BORN RACE chosen, they settle for being Gentile Shabbos Goy. Gentiles in Judaism who do their master's work on sabbath. Their Christianity is as fake as typing G_D. Baseless pop-culture nonsense. Lastly, as a TRUE student of Jesus, I whip money changers and flip their tables. I don't go around groveling and 'tolerating' heretics. I tell you, Get behind me Satan. The entire collective works of Jesus can hardly fill a pamphlet. He did take the specific time to warn us of one thing, those Christians praying loud in public ARE FAKES! One of your cheap hustles I would like to hear though, tell us your laughable lies you made up that lets you not give away all your worldly wealth and possessions so you can wander poor and spread the word, because 'your riches are in heaven'. The fake Christians always have that covered. They are masters of selective following. They magically have reasons to never follow the parts that cost them anything. Real Christians DIE IN TORTURE for their faith. If you are not nailed to a cross, spare me your lies of righteousness. The good ones get KILLED doing it, especially in this evil world we have today.

    Without reading your diatribe, I must say you don't get it. The Jews (Israel) were at one time God's chosen, but not anymore. They forfeited that right when they rejected their Messiah. So He was given onto the gentiles. That all who may believe would be saved. The rest of your rant I need not respond because it is foolish. I don't engage in foolishness.

    There is no answer to this problem, because it is a problem. I TOLD YOU, you would not answer. Never waste my time repeating back my own words to me. There is no answer for you to offer. You lost the debate. Case closed.

    You're so right BienvenuJDC. Hence:

    Luke 24:27 "And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself"

    Were we debating? Or was I shining light on your darkness?

    I'd say the latter.

    And don't try to bully me!

    Isaiah 50:1
    Thus says the Lord:

    “Where is the certificate of your mother’s divorce,
    Whom I have put away?
    Or which of My creditors is it to whom I have sold you?
    For your iniquities you have sold yourselves,
    And for your transgressions your mother has been put away.

    I believe this is one of the prophecies indicating that the covenant had been broken by Israel. What do you think?

    An earlier and much clearer one is Deuteronomy 31:16
    "And the LORD said to Moses: "You are going to rest with your fathers, and these people will soon prostitute themselves to the foreign gods of the land they are entering. They will forsake me and break the covenant I made with them."
