Re: Types of people you can't stand...

Tell her the bench came from the factory. Then tell her to look up Matthew 23:15 in that Bible she's banging away on. As she is doing that, ask her if she follows Jesus (her answer will be yes). As she is reading the verse in question, ask her if she believes everything Jesus says. (Bonus points if she has a red-letter Bible, this will be even more effective.) Once she says yes, ask her what Jesus would think about her trying to convert you, based on what He says in that verse.

Hasn't failed me yet. (I'm Christian, by the way, and cannot tolerate the Bible-bangers, either.)

DA

Fellow Christian, thank you for that verse! It will be handy in warding away the people at the mall who wave signs and yell at me as I pass by.

AYRT

You might not get them to stop yelling long enough to point this out to that type. Props to you, if you can, though!

I have long said that the best defense one can offer to these so-called Christians is actually reading the Bible, instead of cherry-picking over one or two verses, and twisting them out of context to make them say the opposite to what the good book actually says in the first place.

...mind you, I also read widely varying translations on a regular basis, so the KJV-Onlyers probably want to burn me at the stake, as well, IDK. :P

I've brought up stuff to her before, she dismisses everything as just "From the old testament, so it no longer matters, 'cause Jesus!"

Let me guess -- that doesn't include her views on homosexuality?

Re: Types of people you can't stand...

(Anonymous) 2013-08-16 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
Probably not, but she's never really mentioned on homosexuality before. I brought up common myths to her before, like the Epic of Gilgamesh and whatnot, and she said "So you believe in that, so why can't you believe in Noah?" lol

...which is when you want to point out that Jesus actually is the "God of the Old Testament," He said so Himself, John 8:58. Also, John 1:1-5, if you need another citation for her.

On second thought, don't do that, it might make her head explode....

correct me if i'm wrong but wasn't jesus referring to phariseeism and other non-christian beliefs there? he was speaking out against proselytism of other religions, not christianity, wasn't he :?

As far as she believes, the OT doesn't matter, only the NT. So she's basically impossible to reason with
