I find it curious that people who claim the Bible is the inerrant word of God always dodge the question when shown quotes from the Bible that contradict statements they make.

But it's baffling that you would use it as a debate throwout To anyone. Don't you see why?

No, ghoti, why the thought? what connection were you thinking of?

He's the lead singer for a group called Aevory Nash. I thought maybe that was the inspiration for your name.

Jesus tells you that if you don't help others in need you are doomed:

Matthew 25:41: Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44: Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45: Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46: And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

As does James:

James 2:[20] But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
[21] Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
[22] Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
[23] And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
[24] Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
[25] Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
[26] For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Are these just more of those passages that you can choose to ignore when they don't fit your mind-set?

So do you think you need faith, ghoti?

Do you think everyone needs it (faith) in order to get that drive to be a better person?

Eveeryone has faith in something. Since we all have different life experiences we just see the world differently. I'm just asking whether your faith or ethical philosophy inspires you to take actions in your life.

IMO the passage from Matthew 25 is clearly a mandate from Jesus to his followers that they are required to help those in need. How else can you interpret it?

No response to this? Are these just more of those passages that you can choose to ignore when they don't fit your mind-set?
