Jesus didn't say that. XD

But he might have been sexist. But is he sexist now?

Depends whether you, like Hodge, still live in the Middle Ages.

According to a friend of mine, the number was mistranslated and it's actually supposed to be 636. I think it's just a phobia though.


Where the hell did he get 636 from? He doesn't know what he's talking about.

Also, sin is what the Bible says is a sin. - gasp! - Go against the Bible, you have sinned. Sex is sin if not done in the missionary position because that is the position most likely to conceive a child. Marry before having sex, or it's a sin. Jesus said he approved of celibacy. Jesus was not sexist. One of the most important people ever --- The Virgin Mary --- is, of course, a woman and revered. God made man first, so...and if he made woman first and made man from his rib? Someone had to be the bad one, even if the story was influenced so it was the woman.

And I despise Catholics who claim they are Catholics and then fornicate like it's nothing or sin in a myriad of other ways deliberately. A major portion of the Catholics/Christians picked their religion because

1. Didn't want to go to hell.
2. They grew up around it and naturally adopted it from a young age.

In America, you'd be hard pressed to find a christian who became one after researching other religions.

How do you know that the bible is entirely legit? And the friend was a girl.

...When did I ever say the Bible is completely legit? It's just not 636. There is speculation it was 616, but 666 is more widely accepted because it fits in with Nero, who many people think it was in reference into. An uncovered Greek scripture, I believe, said '616'. Nothing points to 636.

k, stop leading the subject away from the reason you're a christian. I mean, really, I'm curious why you made the choice. Exactly how many religions did you investigate before settling on christianity? Who is to say those miracles like the pizza are not from the blessing of Allah or Odin or Zeus?

Especially with that creepy white man hanging from the cross that looks over everyone's room. That's bound to influence. I have a framed version of 'Amazing Grace' in my room. There are five, or used to be around that number, portraits and such of scripture talking of Jesus and footprints, if you know that latter story. I bet I'm not the only one.

Regarding my christianity: See other thread.

Krimm, I have a question. Just curious to what you would say. Lay aside all opinions and beliefs for a sec and tell me what you think Jesus's favorite color is.

Personally, I don't think Jesus has a favourite colour. That could go into racism and if he created all of them, why would he have favs? It wouldn't be fair, especially since we call God "Father".
