I am also pretty sure he wouldn't be very pleased about my using his name in vain when i find myself confronted with abject stupidity

That's funny, I thought of it more as a little prayer for Ax's soul.

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

... scripture makes it quite clear what he would do. He would tell you to solve the problem yourself, because he didn't come to settle our conflicts, he came to settle your eternity.
Ah, that's how you compartmentalize Biblical Jesus from your day-to-day conduct. :)

I guess that's your way of avoiding to state whether you think Jesus would send nukes, eh?

It's hard to have an intelligent theological discussion with an ignorant person.

More beating around the bush. Either you think Jesus will send nukes or you don't. Whether 'ol Ax or any one else is ignorant should have no effect on your answer.

Ax, what Jolly is trying to tell you is that your lack of knowledge regarding Christianity and scripture is hindering you from engaging us intelligently. Your question answers itself, you just don't know it. And as a result you're faulting us for your own lack of knowledge.

You got it backwards. It's you and Jolly who are refusing to answer the question, and you do so by faulting my supposed ignorance.

The question is, and has always been, whether you think Jesus would send nukes. Not whether Jesus would send nukes. Only you can answer that question because it's about what you think. My or any one else's ignorance has no bearing on your answer to the question of whether you think Jesus would send nukes.

Feel free to continue tap dancing and beating around the bush and fault your inability to answer the question on 'ol Ax ... because that's all you have been doing so far.

The point is they don't know what Jesus would do.

Not even sure if JC himself would know what to do if confronted with such a modern dilemma. Pretty sure though he wouldn't Tweet or Twit about it, nor would he approach it with quite the degree of theatrical swagger as we are currently witnessing.

Not much of one.

I stand by my previous statement. There is an absolute mountain of theological writings on the just use of force within Christianity, both Catholic and Protestant. But all of the source material is contained within the Bible.

I'm not going to waste my effort explaining what the color blue looks like to a blind man. Best he do a bit of reading himslef, and he may discover the answer on his own.

It certainly won't hurt him.

Jesus would say "Let he who is without sin cast the first nuke".

This would put Mr. Un in the weaker negotiating position.

true enough Jolly, there is a mountain of theological gibberish on the matter of war and it's not limited to just the Judeo-Christian bible or tradition.

In any case the matter at hand is best dealt with by the art of diplomacy, not theological mumbo-jumbo.

I'm sorry, but you are incorrect. I answered your question the very first time I responded to it. It's not my fault that you don't understand the answer, and yes, your ignorance of Christianity is directly responsible for you not understanding the answer.

There is no logic in attempting to draw a distinction between what he would do and what I think he would do. If you understood scripture you'd know what he would do, and as a result would thinkbhe would do exactly what he said he would do. The answer I gave you the first time is what he would do, and what I "think" he would do.

So no, no one is refusing to answer your question. You just don't understand the answer.

He was asking a simple yes/no question. Another valid answer would be "I don't know". It's not a complicated question. The answer is not complicated. But all you do is BSing and deflecting.

You're so full of crap your eyes are brown if you ever thought Axman asked a simple yes or no question.

Ever. :lol2:

No, it was not a simple yes or no question. And I *do* know. And yes, it is an *extremely* complicated question if you're trying to answer it for someone who has no idea about the religion. And no, I'm not BS'ing and deflecting. Obviously you don't understand the answer either.

I'll be happy to give you the Cliff Note version of scripture, Judaism, Christianity, how the two relate, and how Ax's question fits into it all if you want.
