Jesus had more special powers. Moses was all talk. He basically did what God told him to. Tough call, though.

Obviously sanction violence from one person to person? No. You wouldn't make a very good lawyer. The last two caveats of 'my' statement are pleonastic. Therefore let me boil that statement down for you: 'Christianity (the New Testament) encourages peaceful, loving and tolerant behaviour or...

T Those quotes are promises of violence from God at judgment (not violence from people sanctioned by God) or promises of sorrow if you pursue evil ways. There is a blatant distinction

Yes. Look back to what I said about the Old Testament. In the Old Testament there are examples of hatred and violence. Jesus comes along and says no hatred and no violence please.

I mean that the Koran is generally violent and repressive and that the Bible is generally the opposite.

Most Christians, especially Catholics, regard ceremonial, dietary and other laws laid down in the Old Testament as defunct. The prevailing view is that, "Upon the advent of Christ, the purpose of all the ceremonial and judicial commands, which was to pre-figure Christ, was fulfilled, causing...

I was being facetious. I probably shouldn't have been. All things considered.

It was a pretty big hole. He talked about a team full of United players after all. I won't look for weaknesses in arguments next time.

I have answered it. You just don't accept my answers. The only proof we have of how those eleven English players would and should do against eleven Croatian players is two matches: Croatia 2 England 0 England 2 Croatia 3 They play for a different team with a different style with no support...

We were talking about why England couldn't beat Croatia on Wednesday. It isn't hypothetical.

I said there are no teams far superior to Croatia which is what you suggested. I count ZERO from the team that played on Wednesday who play for United.

I don't reach my conclusions by a circuitous route. I simply watch his individual performance and judge it. Anyway, I don't believe any team is far superior to Croatia. What I originally said was that the assumption that the best team wins was a logical starting point. Obviously there are...

It's just realism.

Absolutely. I rest his case.

Sorry. I just had to get it off my chest.
