Neither of those are faith, they are experience.
Because aid hasnt arrived everywhere, all at once, people are getting pissed off and making up all sorts of shit.
You obviously have no idea what the Bible says about faith but might have heard what the churches say.
Two completely different things.
The Biblical definition of faith.
Hebrews 11:1
"What is faith? It is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. It is the evidence of things we cannot yet see."
It is dependant on what is said in that one line.
I did not imply anything. I was replying to suggestions that "God" had not kept promises, or not fulfilled obligations.
As a legal scholar, I am aware of the Mosaic Law (the foundation for anglo saxon legal systems) which is predicated on the contract between Abraham and his God.
A covenant was formed between the Abrahamic God and the tribes there present with Moses. As with all contracts there were obligations and penalty clauses.
The small print is in the book of Exodus.(If you are interested, I suggest chapter 19 for starters. Beware that legal code, as evident in statutes and contracts contains cross references that need to be researched to achieve a fuller understanding of the document)
Perhaps, but before you crucify the messenger, consider this :
Romans 31.3
Matthew 5:17 "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the Prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill."
Galatians 2:16 "knowing that a man is not justified by the Works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be saved!"
A contradiction of what ?
There is no personal, caring god anyway.
You may have a point.
-Jesus
Jesus said everlasting life depended on taking in knowledge of God.
It also says that faith without works is dead.
Jesus also said ...many will say but didn't we teach in your name ...get lost is his reply ...I never knew you.
And those who build idols ...bow before idols ...have no chance.
How about those who pray to his mum ...no chance.

Little surprise to hear Limbaugh's comments. Utter cunt in cuntish opinion shock!
From that same article :
Merely highlighting a comment that any parasite would be proud of.
So why don't you expand on your comments so that there is no need for anyone to keep coming back to query your thinking? I notice that you have a habit in many threads of dropping some 'cryptic' one-liner and then you need to come back to expand your line of thought. This is a DISCUSSION board - so why not make it easier for everyone to actually DISCUSS things by being more open with your thoughts and wasting less of everyone's time.
Perception is important.
Discussing facts and evidence is still discussion albeit somewhat more succinct.
"Discussing facts and evidence is still discussion". Hmmmm ... there is a clue in that somewhere. I wish you'd do it more often.
Notice how a lot of critisism has now started about how the aid was handled ...especially the way the Americans handled it?
