I’ll tell you what, if the people who are alive now were around back in Jesus’ day, 95% of them would have been stoned to death for the deadly sins which they freely commit nowadays. There would be NO homosexuals, NO sassy kids getting up in their parent’s grill and yelling in their face, NO drug use (anything that pertained to any form of witchcraft), NO abortion (the unborn child is a human being, not a mass of tissue), NO PERversion “bibles,” nor any other “freedom of choice” sin we engage in every day. Fact is, they were better off because they believed God’s Word, they feared God, and they didn’t have all this cyber junk we live our lives with today.

if the people who are alive now … the deadly sins which they freely commit nowadays. … There would be NO …
And no tautologies!
So, if we lived in your fantasy world, we'd obey your fantasy laws?
Maybe.
I can't believe there was NO homosexuality back then. If there were, why did Paul have to preach against it? I mean, he didn't preach against driving while talking on your cell phone, did he?
And there have been drugs for EVER. Some theorize that we cultivated drugs for shaman rituals first, using the lessons learned to cultivate plants for food.
But, you know, whatever. Seriously.
We do not live in 0th century Judea. We live in the now. So the question becomes, why should we stop enjoying ourselves with these 'perversions' you hold to be sin, we hold to be freedoms?
I’ll tell you what, if the Jesus the Christ was alive now, 80% of todays Christians would have condemned him as a “dirty hippy commy” and lynched him.
No, really, I’d bet a lot on it. You guys are just that transparent. To us at least, because you guys have not the slightest self-awareness.
It is interesting that when God doesn't like something it requires humans to act on it's behalf.
"My Invisible Friend is mad at you so hold still while I cave in your skull"
Something is deeply wrong with you when you long for those "good ol' days."
It's a shame people like these are unable to perceive the progression of societal control in human history. I mean, it was kinda ingenious to evolve from simply killing or overthrowing whoever was in charge of the tribe at the time if you didn't like the rules or power structure as it was, to convincing people they could go off to never-never-land forever with all their dead ancestors and loved ones if they play by the Invisible Friends rules instead. And if you don't like it's rules, well, take it up with it because "don't' look at me, I'm just telling you how it is" on it's behalf and you don't dare rebel. Now, where's my favorite rock?
What you’re really saying is if you were around “back in the day” nobody would have a chance to preach much of anything before you started chucking stones and anyone bringing up morality afterwords would get a meaningful nod towards your rock collection and regaled with the story behind every dried fleck of blood on them.
And your favourite story would probably involve this one upstart hippie, those twelve guys he hung out with that kept calling him a king, and that one woman they were so jealous of when their hippie king spent time with her.
There’d be no Bibles at all, you silly bint! The first Bibles were written a few hundred years after Jesus’ time. In Jesus’ time, there were just a few hundred, or maybe a few thousand Christians. They were persecuted for real, though.
The Bible describes how to do abortions, dolt, and to rip the bellies of the enemies’ pregnant women and dash the heads of babies against stones.
It says that if someone cause a woman to miscarry but nothing else happens to the woman, the man who cause the miscarry should pay the husband for the theft of the future child. If something happens to the woman, it’s eye for an eye and a life for a life.
Haven’t you read the Bible?
Most people had never heard of God.
Indeed none had. The very word was derived from the Saxon word “Gott”, meaning “planet” or “wandering star”.
Meanwhile, homosexuals were as common as today. And in many places they could marry. Some armies depended on them for their core of veterans.
What is this nonsense about grills? getting up in your parents grill? Are parents cooking their children?
Plenty of drug use. Opium was quite popular. So were several types of mushroom.
Lots of abortions too, And an unborn child is an internal self contradiction. But abortions were very common throughout the Roman empire, and the rest of the world as well.

...and the doctrine kingjameswriter(IQ)1.965 relie s on.
'Thou Shalt Not Be Gay' doesn't appear in the OT - nor does your J-boy saying word one in condemnation of homosexuals anywhere in the NT - of your KJV: for an extremely good reason.
Um.. you do realise throughout the Bible god has children slaughtered right? Also if we lived in Jesus time, you yourself would be told to shut up. Timothy 2:12. On top of that people of your ilk would be considered Pharisees and disowned by Jesus. On top of even that, televangelists would be treated like the Collectors in temple. Much like the male personality of you, David J Stewart, you have failed Christianity
Two song lines come to mind when I read this kind of nonsense:
“If Jesus were to preach as he preached in Galilee, they would lay Jesus Christ in His grave” – Woody Guthrie
“Would Jesus wear a Rolex on His television show?” - Ray Stevens
2 things-all up in their parent’s grill? Really? What decade is this dumbass even pretending to be living in?
Cyber junk? Says the stupid bitch posting her nonsense online. Using a computer & a presumably wireless connection. What is wrong with this…meatbag calling itself human?
I’ll tell you what, if the people who are alive now were around back in Jesus’ day, 95% of them would have been stoned to death for the deadly sins which they freely commit nowadays.
And you’d be perfectly fine with that. Hell, you think that makes you the fucking hero, killing folks for being imperfect or for living their lives their way, like they were people or some shit.
I find it very telling that this psycho ignores Jesus' explicit lessons in "let he who is without sin cast the first stone," "love thy neighbour as thyself," and the whole bit about motes and beams.
She's not a Christian, because she directly defies Jesus' teachings. She's a Pharisee, at best.
The Roman's caused an entire species of plant Silphiumm, to go extinct. The major reason? Silphium was used as an abortificant and birth control and there was a huge demand for it.
The Roman's also had laws governing what was and was not exseptibal homosexual behaviors between citizens and non citizens and slaves, and a shit ton of erotic homosexual artwork.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
