ZBomber Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Originally posted by lukeskywalker1 Read through it again, youll see that God makes several caring decisions. God is the same as he was yesterday, and the same as he will be tommorrow. Wells here a few things. God makes the Jews fight wars with people to get land. Why couldn't he just give them Egypt? He made them travel through the desert for 40 years. 40 YEARS! There are many other things too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you even know WHY he made them walk for 40 years? Because they were disobeying the 10 commandments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also forgot to say that he was testing to se eif they could be the "Chosen people" But 40 years? And when they do get to the promised land, he just kinda lays Moses off. He kills him right before the Jewish people get to the promised land...... Thats what I mean by kinda mean...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Nine Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 That's cuz Moses pissed God off by not following his commands to the letter. So God said, "You ain't getting into the promised land, Moses." Simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems kinda weir dto use him as a pawn, then just not even let him see his promised land. Why are we turning this into a debate anyways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if its gonna debate, maybe it should get moved into the Senate Chambers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obi Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Yea, If it's debate, to the senate chambers, you must take it. *realized he just talked like Yoda* Anyway, God told Moses to talk to a rock to get some water. Moses hit it with a stick. Then, God said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toms Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 i'm pretty keen to see this. Whether it is good or not, it should definately be interesting. I've never got the whole anti-semetic arguement at all, that is like saying that allt he films with Nazis as bad guys are going to cause violence against germans. Gibson himself does seem a bit weird to me though. He isn't a catholic, he is a part of a small religious group (cult?) that believes amongst other things that the current pope is a heretic and that most catholic teaching after a certain date is wrong. Not sure on the details. I think his dad said that the holocaust was exagerated and Mel refused to disagree. He also said that his wife (who is church of england) is a better and more "good" person than him, but she is going to hell because of her beliefs. He seems to have lost it a little bit. Interested to watch the film when it comes out though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Yes, Mel Gibson is a fruit loop and a disgrace to our nation(Australia)..... there's nothing we hate more when an actor/singer goes off and comes back sporting an accent, Mels got to the corniest hollywood accent ever. That 60 minute interview just showed him up for exactkly what he was...a deluded fool. Gibson's father is also 'two bobs short of a quid', and it is true he has 'revisionist' views about the Holocaust, though when pressed about his father, Mel cleverly backs away because being anti-semitic in Hollywood wouldn't go down well at all..... I wont see the film in the theatres, but I will see it when it hits dvd most likely. I am of islamic heritage, but I really do not practise it to any degree. I believe Jesus was a special individual for his time, and dont need to ascribe anything beyond that to him to have a tremendous respect for his ideals. I do have problems with most forms of organised religion as I believe it is a breeding ground of intolerance and zealoutry. Al Queda promotes themselves as a religious group, as does the KKK, theyre both a pack of criminals looking for justification in the wrong place. I do feel sad for the lady though. Rogue Nine, have you lost the plot recently(from reading you other posts today). I don't find the news of anyone's death amusing, and I'm sure many would concur with me on that. I'm sure you wouldn't have the giggles if it was your mother/grandmother, irony or not MTFBWYA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
