Are Western Churches and Governments promoting hate?

I am un-subscribing from this thread, seems like G.I.A. thinks he knows all i.e. he can't be corrected or is not open to correction.

Plus I have a life outside this thread, as to listen to someone who is on 20 forums coming up with the same drivel, plus his jealousy as he can't make a virgin pregnant :D

You might be right but do you think that man has changed in his basic way of thinking regardless of the times?

No, but I do think that man has changed in his language, manner, and basic way of communicating. Our OT Bible was translated by people of a time and culture very different from us, from another people of a time, language, and culture very different from them or us. It is very possible that hate in the context of Malachi 1:3 might not mean what you might think, or what I might think. Indeed, in modern English one can use the word hate to indicate negative emotions as mild as disliking the flavor of a food to bigotry so vehement as to support genocide.

Who else has the power to create anything and I guess --all-- does not mean all to you.

You not only be fool, you be dumb fool.

Do not expect much more from me.
You might have noticed if you are paying any attention at all that I ignore half your garbage and the numbers of responses are shrinking the longer we go.

I see those with even more patience than I ignoring your sorry as so I just see this as patience with fools training for me. I may as well try to get something out of this.

I have noticed though that you are even too ill breed to retract foolish statements or recant with dignity. Oh well

There are cultural nuances for sure. I do place a bit of trust in the intelligentsia of the past though and think them quite sophisticated. Remenmber that in terms of engineering as well as other sciences, they were quite advanced. Even to the point where we have not yet dithered out how the did some things.

This holds a few links that speak to science. I thought it interesting.
