Does Ron Paul believe I'm going to hell?

This ain't my imagination. More like a collective nightmare. A nation full of people who worship a book full of stuff like this:


However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT)

When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. And if the slave girl's owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife. If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment. (Exodus 21:7-11 NLT)

But if this charge is true (that she wasn't a virgin on her wedding night), and evidence of the girls virginity is not found, they shall bring the girl to the entrance of her fathers house and there her townsman shall stone her to death, because she committed a crime against Israel by her unchasteness in her father's house. Thus shall you purge the evil from your midst. (Deuteronomy 22:20-21 NAB)

"Then I heard the LORD say to the other men, "Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show no mercy; have no pity! Kill them all – old and young, girls and women and little children. But do not touch anyone with the mark. Begin your task right here at the Temple." So they began by killing the seventy leaders. "Defile the Temple!" the LORD commanded. "Fill its courtyards with the bodies of those you kill! Go!" So they went throughout the city and did as they were told." (Ezekiel 9:5-7 NLT)

Anyone who is captured will be run through with a sword. Their little children will be dashed to death right before their eyes. Their homes will be sacked and their wives raped by the attacking hordes. For I will stir up the Medes against Babylon, and no amount of silver or gold will buy them off. The attacking armies will shoot down the young people with arrows. They will have no mercy on helpless babies and will show no compassion for the children. (Isaiah 13:15-18 NLT)

This is what the Lord of hosts has to say: 'I will punish what Amalek did to Israel when he barred his way as he was coming up from Egypt. Go, now, attack Amalek, and deal with him and all that he has under the ban. Do not spare him, but kill men and women, children and infants, oxen and sheep, camels and asses.' (1 Samuel 15:2-3 NAB)
 
So why do people start a thread if they are not being serious?
What was the whole idea of this thread in the first place?

I thought from the look of the original posting, I would seriously try to answer the original posters question.
Just how does one distinguish a serious thread from one that is sarcasm?
I never saw any indication this thread was started as sarcasm.

The OP may be serious, but the question posed isn't.

I can be dead serious in manner, but not in content.

"Just how does one distinguish a serious thread from one that is sarcasm?"

You use your brain. Get a clue.
 
I'll let the OP answer as to how serious he was with his question.

iflyboats, please tell me, is it true the question you posed isn't serious?

I can't believe it's not butter! Wow - can you believe it? I'm having trouble, by the way - I'm deadly serious. :rolleyes:

The conversation reminds me of the nun who caught some boys out behind the school having a contest to see who could piss the highest on the wall.

When she went to the headmaster of the school and told him what the boys had been doing, the headmaster asked her what she had done when she caught them doing that. She replied, "I hit the roof." :D

It takes two to have a conversation. And let's not forget who started it...

:rolleyes:
 
I'm going to take the liberty of projecting some of my religious views on Ron Paul. He doesn't (I don't) have a clue whether or not you're going to hell. He (I) can't tell you how to get to hell. He believes (I believe) that you will stand trial before a just God, who will decide your punishment or reward based on your life. He (I) can tell you how to avoid that trial, but he (I) cannot tell you how God will judge you when you're there, except that God will be fair.
 
The Bible does have a verse condemning masturbation as a sin. It's in Leviticus. At least, it seems to speak of masturbation...it's written in metaphors (probably the translators).

Would you please be so kind as to provide a chapter and verse?
It would be interesting to evaluate what was really being said and how the translation may have been mangled.
 
RP doesn't care one way or the other, nor he should. Its your own personal issue.
