CHRISTIANITY A PEACEFUL AND TOLERANT FAITH?

Northern Ireland civil unrest between Catholics and Protestants is  an aged problem of Christianity, considered "Peanuts" in the history of atrocity and brutality initiated by religious propagation.

Hundreds  millions innocents killed in Roman Inquisition, Spaniard Inquisition, Crusader wars,  St Bartholomew's Day Massacres and India - Goa Inquisition. In the name of religon. The Great Massacres of the St Bartholomew's Day in 1572, was the worst bad bloods between the Protestants and Catholics that carry on for more 420 yrs till today.

In fact biblical fables mentioned more killings (massacres approved by God) than any religious book Check this out such religious fanatics brutality spelt out in their Folly Bible.

MASSACRE Authorized by Moses (Dt 20:13,16). 

Decree to destroy the Jews (Est 3).

Instances of: Inhabitants of Heshbon (Dt 2:34), 

of Bashan (Dt 3:6), of Ai (Jos 8:24-26), 

of Hazor (Jos 11:11-12), 

of the cities of the seven kings (Jos 10:28-40). 

Midianites (Nu 31:7-8). 

Prophets of Baal (1Ki 18:40). 

Worshipers of Baal (2Ki 10:18-28). 

Sons of Ahab (2Ki 10:1-8). 

Royal family of Athaliah (2Ki 11:1). 

Inhabitants of Tiphsah (2Ki 15:16). 

Edomites (2Ki 14:7)

DEUTERONOMY 20:13,16
When the LORD your God delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the men in it. 14 As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves. And you may use the plunder the LORD your God gives you from your enemies. 15 This is how you are to treat all the cities that are at a distance from you and do not belong to the nations nearby.
16 However, in the cities of the nations the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. 17 Completely destroyA them--the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites--as the LORD your God has commanded you. 18 Otherwise, they will teach you to follow all the detestable things they do in worshiping their gods, and you will sin against the LORD your God.

- Amen

Here are some excerpts for newsgroup :

The fault with Abrahamic faiths is putting too much emphasis on believing in the scriptures than good morality and  compassionate actions. Although Christianity, Judaism and Islam preach Peace and Love, have ever learn to do so. Why Abrahamic faiths fought so badly and slaughtered one another after many centuries? It mainly because of the interpretation of scriptures.

Read about what your scriptures said about "morning star"?

Revelation 2:16
"I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give youA this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star."
 
2 Peter 1:19
And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts

But Ah Seow learnt that :
LUCIFER is a Latin word for "morning star"

Isaiah 14:12

How you have fallen from heaven,
O morning star, son of the dawn!
You have been cast down to the earth,
you who once laid low the nations!
14:13
You said in your heart,
"I will ascend to heaven;
I will raise my throne above the stars of God;

blah..blah….

Like a corpse trampled underfoot,
14:20
]you will not join them in burial,
for you have destroyed your land
and killed your people.
 
The offspring of the wicked
will never be mentioned again.
14:21
Prepare a place to slaughter his sons
for the sins of their forefathers;
they are not to rise to inherit the land
and cover the earth with their cities
 

Pls my friends-in-Christ,, Bros-in-Islam  and The children of Israel (Juda) fight no more ....

Religious wars killed as many people as natural calamity. If religious wars are caused by human, than these inhuman culprits are accountable and their religions are questionable. If natural disasters are caused by the creator....Then AH SEOW  WILL PUT HIM TO TRIAL FOR GENOCIDE AND TRANSGRESSION. 

Why do Abrahamic faiths have to do restored violent, unlike other atheistic faiths?

Because there were ( are) too many gods, so by claiming theirs is the one and most powerful, were the sinister works of religious leaders.

Read your bible, Human Sacrifices are forbidden (Lev 18:21; 20:2-5;
Dt 12:31). Offered by Abraham (Ge 22:1-19; Heb 11:17-19), by Canaanites (Dt 12:31), Moabites (2Ki 3:27), Israelites (2Ki 16:3; 2Ch 28:3; 2Ki 23:10; Isa 57:5; Jer 7:31; 19:5; 32:35; Eze 16:20-21; 20:26,31; 23:37,39), by the Sepharvites to idols (2Ki 17:31). To demons (Ps 106:37-38), to Baal (Jer 19:5-6).

Your righteous, yet incestuous patriarch, Abraham has to be tested by yr  God for his devotion? God is almighty, yet he needs tests!!! ( Using Abraham's son as sacrifice! How inhuman!)

Read why God took favour on Abel's offerings. God loves MEATS. GOD never like  veggies!!! What Cain offered. Read what did that silly old drunkard patriarch Noah, did when he dismounted from the Ark? Yes ! Aromatic meats offered for Goodie God.

Aromatic Meat to Easterners ( in particular Korean and Chinese) is DOG (no offence if spell the other way round) GOD'S meats !

Better, join Morning Star ( Lucifer) in the Eternal BBQ. If  you need light , call me !

I was prompted to read more on Corinthians. A Buddhist monk pointed that the essence of the teaching on Corinthian was non-attachment:

1 Corinthians 7:29
What I mean, brothers, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they had none;

30 those who mourn, as if they did not; those who are happy, as if they were not; those who buy something, as if it were not theirs to keep;

31 those who use the things of the world, as if not engrossed in them. For this world in its present form is passing away.

The Reformation started by Luther and Calvin was the greatest disgrace of intolerant amongst God believers, many innocent lives were lost.

Muslim told me Catholic leaders (Pope) for thousands of yrs, kept a pics ( painting) that relate to God. Many jihads, still failed to obtain it.

Qu'ran is still intact compare to the Scriptures. It was proven 40 yrs ago when they found the Dead Sea Scroll. Qu'ran had to be read in Arabic, unlike other religions, where the holy books were translated, retranslated, mistranslated and MISINTREPRETED!

I laughed my head off, when some Christians said Steven Stelberg made satanic movies too. ET and The Encounter of the 3rd Kind. Best joke was the Ultra Orthodox banned the movie Jurassic Park ! Dinosaur has never existed, as it was not mentioned in the Bible! Luckily, I could teach my kids that prehistorical creatures did existed before man.

After I watched "Independence Day" I realised the fable on Tower of Babel does has some sense. God was hovering at the spot where those silly people try to reach by building the Tower. If God were invisible, who would build caste in the air?

My biblical knowledge might be weak, but still I could confirm that God wasn't alone.

Genesis 3:22And the LORD God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil.

Was angel one of God's kinds? Afterall, God created Sandy man thru his image not angels...

U should read a little of Chinese culture, literature and history. (Pardon me if u are not a Chinese)

 What the westerners doing now are reading our history, culture and religions. They realised theirs had failed badly.

Pick up Tao Te Ching and Confucius' Annalect and teachings of Menius, you be amazed that we, Human are all pure and sinless by birth; as believe most westerners now a day, which our older generation had always believed.

Even Muslims believe Allah had pardoned Adam's sin. He is no petty old man. Men are corrupted b'cos of its environment ( upbringing) and not by birth.

HUMAN  ARE NO SINNER BY BIRTH!

Man commit bad deeds due to their weakness of their minds.

What u do is what u leap, Judge not by one's faith and devotion; But by his deeds...

A Cosmic Contest
The very first chapter answers Job's main question: he had done nothing to deserve such suffering. Unknown to him, Job was involved in a cosmic test, a contest proposed in heaven but staged on earth. In this extreme test of faith, the best man on earth suffered the worst calamities.

You telling I read yr bible wrongly?

Nonsense ! Read probably :
Genesis 4:3
Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. 3In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the LORD. 4But Abel brought fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering,
5but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor.

Lev 3:16). From what he offers he is to make this offering to the LORD by fire: all the fat that covers the inner parts or is connected to them, 15both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the covering of the liver, which he will remove with the kidneys. 16The priest shall burn them on the altar as food, an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma. All the fat is the LORD's.

Here, here.. Bible had written God  was GREAT MEAT EATER! He loves FAT and BLOOD! AND 1st BORN, CLEAN = VIRGINS!

He could be VERY PARTIAL if the offering was not meat but veggie. It was his impartiality that Cain killed his bro. b'cos of their offerings.

Read :
The sacrifices of Cain and Abel (Gen 4:4-5) show that the rite goes back almost to the beginnings of the human race. The sacrifice of Noah after the Flood (8:20-21) is called a burnt offering and is closely connected with the covenant of God (9:8-17). In his sacrifices, Abraham (12:7-8; 13:4, 18; 15:4ff.) expressed his adoration of God. The establishment of the covenant between Israel and the Lord was accompanied by solemn sacrifices. The foundation principle of this covenant was obedience, not sacrifices (Exod 19:4-8)

2Samuel 24:25David built an altar to the LORD there and sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings.D Then the LORD answered prayer in behalf of the land, and the plague on Israel was stopped

GOT IT?

I got plenty to flood this thread about God's transgression and its (I mean He) and his amnesic nature...
