That was fuckin stupid. Apexx has a valid point. |

It wasn't stupid. But, your reply was. My point in stating that was to show that the idea of "cannibalism" isn't as revolting as Apexx is making it sound. Now, don't assume I agree with it. I'm just saying that we reference things like cannibalism without even realizing it. |
I was reffering mainly to the 'Gobble youup = cannablism' bullshit.
the rest was merely my opinion of this thread. Strange how can understand otehr peoples opinions on cannibalism, but when it comes to things like abortion, you draw a blank. |

The saying, "I could just EAT YOU" is a Freudian type of reference to cannibalism. And, what are you babbling about on abortion? This thread was about whether or not God required or allowed cannibalism. And, I stated clearly that there is no reference in the bible where God directly tells someone to eat Human flesh. Jesus' serving of the Last Supper was symbolism, or else he would have cut himself and served his blood. |
babbling on? Hardly.
Just face it. your willing to understand an act that in modern sciety is considered wrong because the bible condones it. Yet you cant understand why people would want an abortion. And wtf anyway, doesnt the bible say being gay is wrong. Its things like that which make me think the bible is total bullshit. |

?? Okay...I see you're on level 8 and I'm on level 2 cuz I'm not understanding this animosity. Again, this thread isn't about whether cannibalism is wrong or not. The thread is about whether or not GOD condones it or allows it. That's what you don't seem to be getting. I'm not about to argue with you because you choose to use this as an opportunity to pick a fight. And, what does homosexuality have to do with this thread? :nono: Stop attempting to turn this into a crucify Q topic. And, I still don't see what abortion has to do with this particular thread. |
Israel was predicted to be cursed with cannibalism if you check out Deutoronomy Chapter 28, i believe verse 53 or 54 specifically idk haven't read Deutoronomy in a while but i think that's close enuff. It explains some of the curses God was to put on them because of Israel's rebellion against God and his covenant.
And if I'm correct which I believe so, my Bible's in the car, but the verse you are referring to from 2 Kings is dealing with the a king from Israel which proves the predictions (from Deut.) of cannibalism to be true. I don't think God is saying it's okay to eat men, it's one curse out of many that they brought upon themselves. The curses were made to destroy them. I think the symbolism part is understood with the communion, I didn't read through all the posts in here but I glanced and skimmed through. Jesus speaks to men in parables and symbolism, when he says take my blood and my flesh in a consuming manner, he's talking in a more "spiritual" meaning and not physical at all. A lot of things mentioned in the Bible are not to be taken literally. But @ Nos' comment, not every "Christian" protects verses with an excuse like oh, it's the old testament days. Sure ENOUGH you realize the days then compared to how we live now are extremely different. |

Oh my goodness, CANNABALISM IS A PUNISHMENT. God doesn't go eat people. It's a punishment. About the gay thing, yes that is one of the many things God doesn't like. |
the part about them eating the child isn't metaphorical, it IS literal, but GOD did not say "you should do this too" it was an example of the desperation the people felt when they went against him, and their moral downfall...never once did GOD say "you should kill your children and eat them when you're hungry, it's okay..I'll forgive you cuz you were really hungry"... the rest of it IS symbolic, because during communion they say both verses, where Jesus says specifically that the bread symboliZes his body and the wine symboliZes his blood... the BIBLE doesn't condone or glorify cannibalism P.S. NOS, there are specific religions that only believe certain testaments of the BIBLE, one being Jews who (I think) believe only in the Old Testament...each testament is based on 1 of GOD's 2 commandments (yes I know there are 10, but they're broken down to 2 categories)...personally, I believe we should follow both testaments, the New Testament is just dealing with more real life situations in parables that we better understand, and shows that the prophecies of the Old Testament, have come true |
LOL @ The bible..........
only thing glorifed about the bible is the dude who made it all up... he must be laughin like fuuuuck in his grave. |
You know how your parents let you eat dessert but if you are bad as a child they take dessert away from you have you eating those nasty mean ol' vegetables?
Yeah that's a punishment far less than the punishment God gave the people of Israel. And @ there are other curses/punishments God gave the people of Israel... yes they made him mad enough to go tell them to become slaves to their enemies, to be naked, hungry and thirsty, have their land destroyed, be robbed, men & women murdering their families and relatives to eat them and a handful of other curses in Deutoronomy 28. God NEVER said it was the righteous thing to do, but since they want to be hard-headed they gonna get stripped from their priveleges. That's like the ultimate punishment and lesson for Israel, in my opinion. |

"being" gay isn't the problem...having gay sex is the problem...A person can call himself "gay" all he wants. But, if he doesn't engage in those acts, is he really gay? At best, he'll have to deal with those attractions if they are real to him. The bible also says lying, fornication, drunkeness, and pride are also sins. And, I'm sure EVERYONE deals with at least ONE thing the bible calls a sin. So, for Compose to single that out was just a cheap shot at me. The bible says ANGER is a sin, and profanity. All these sins, and yet we focus on homosexuality. Gee...what a surprise. |
Lady Fiya.....
why do you still think I was being serious about that comment in your sig? I was clearly being sarcastic :huh: |

LOL @ You... There isn't ONE person who "made" the Bible up. Goodness. |
Def. the bible wasn't written by one man, but at least 30 different people. The bible is what you call a synthesis.
