Its about Jesus Christ.
He answered, "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"
Im dodging nothing. I dont know which is which (not that i even agree that there is such a thing) but the Holy Spirit will point me straight if i only ask.

Always a good opening question.
More to the point, if Irish was the only one that could read, how would he interpret the entire Bible to his flock? Would he focus upon certain sections over others? It's a big book, so skipping over certain sections could easily be done since no one else could read.....OR would he teach everyone to read using the Bible and pass no judgement upon the contents? Something in between??
IMO, it's impossible for someone to teach something as large as the Bible without forming biases resulting in focusing on one part over another. This is might explain why there are over 2000 denominations of Christianity in the world with a shitload of them being in the USA.
It also explains the controversies over schools. Politically-motivated people want to teach a specific bias to public students, others want to teach without bias. A neutral approach to all public education. I favor the latter approach.

So only you know. Fascinating.
What if "the Holy Spirit" says you need to assassinate a political leader or blow up a political rally regardless of any innocent bystanders. Are you claiming you'd do it?
Render unto Ceasar that which is Ceasars...
Which is to say God is not interested in tax law but there is a purpose to union of man and woman that pleases him.
I just told you that i dont know and you say this ?
You did pick up on where the Holy Spirit is happy to impart this to you (and anyone else) if you ask, right ?
It is not what I think. It is fact. You fraudulent fucks.

Yes. You'd admitted you did know by citing the "Holy Spirit" as the motivator. Admitting you don't know why the Holy Spirit moves you is different from admitting you believe the Holy Spirit moves you.
I disagree with the assertion. An alternate view is "We are the Holy Spirit." No impartation necessary. Hence why you dodged the question about killing for God.
FWIW, running from the question is often admitting one is guilty. That's different from a troll constantly posting "Remember this? Remember this? Remember this???" Honest, intelligent and sane people know the difference.

Agreed on Caesar but disagreed on conflating it with "union of man and woman". From a Christian POV, Matthew 7:1 applies too. Therefore, while you can disagree that a same sex union is contrary to God's will, it's also not your place to judge. If the government wants to tax and certify legal contracts for all unions, regardless of gender, then Render unto Caesar that which is Caesars.
Changing what i say because it does not fit your view is the issue here.
WHY the Holy Sprit does it is because i asked. Asking has been the crux since i started this.
Seems a little elevate man/men to diety but it is a goid catholic twist. Needing to find ways to put man at a godlike level is the heart of their issues.
God created woman specifically to be his companion.
Jesus honored it at the wedding in Canaan.
God showed what he thought of sodomy.
This aint rocket science.

It's not changing anything since I'm trying to understand your view of the Bible. You brought up Holy Spirit and so I tried to understand if you move it or it moves you. For a second time you dodge the direct questions and move in a different direction.
If I understand you correctly, you believe in the power of prayer. That if you pray for a promotion, another child or a Mercedes Benz, then the Holy Spirit will grant it to you. My view is more deistic and, therefore, with greater faith in an honest God.

But Jesus got nailed by a bunch of men on a giant wood.

Genesis is 3500-1500 year old parables written down by Moses.
Jesus was Jewish. Big surprise.
I thought the NT replaced the OT? Or does that only apply to eating BBQ pork ribs and Shrimp Po'boys before going four-wheeling on a Sunday morning? Banging the neighbor's wife rather than a person's second or third wife? Sticking one's parents in a retirement shithole? Advocating lying about others?
Agreed, it isn't rocket science. It's not science at all. It's a matter of faith.
No, i shared that SOME PEOPLE pray for stuff and are generally told no. I pray for God's will to be done. I'm batting 1.000 going that way. I trust in God to give me what i need so its more about what he needs from me.
I seek understanding of scripture through the Holy Spirit and i get it.
NT gives the faithful another means of obtaining eternal life through the forgiveness of sins where OT was playing by the rules.
Sin remained sin and displeases God.
Jesus would say "go forth and sin no more" after forgiving them. Sodomites do not seek forgiveness for it and do not intend to cease.
That's a cute fairy tale.
Evolution created sexual reproduction. It also created asexual reproduction, plus some species that have the ability to change gender in the absence of an opposite-sex partner.
If there are any gods, what they created was our amazing ability to fall in love, to give up our lives to our family or our country, and our insatiable curiosity.
