          Truly I say to you…you did not even read it properly

        • -3

          @KevinFine: Ok, fine, I'll read it again and take it literally.
          ….
          I went outside today, it was sunny, I didn't hate it. I am not evil. QED

          Or do you want me to go back to interpretive reading? People who are evil are afraid to come into the light (god). People who live by the truth (biblical teaching) come into the light (god) because they are honest and not hiding.

          So what it's saying is that anyone who rejects the god of biblical teaching is afraid and dishonest, and only the people who accept the biblical god are honest and true.

          I feel like my initial reading was reasonably accurate.

  • Can't you get the bible for free?

    • There are many free apps for this.

    • +6

      Yes there are free software / apps. Gideons International also give out their translation for free every now and then. Some hotels might have Good News translation in the drawer of bedside table although they aren't really "free". However why most bibles aren't free:

      • Material & priting cost
      • Editing & formatting costs as some might have additional material (maps, concordance, etc)
      • Most modern translations are actually copyrighted where scholars spent years over the manuscripts. Yes some older ones are in public domain, but not everyone prefers Victorian era English.

      You need one? I can get you one for free

  • 12 And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all those who were buying and selling in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves. 13And He said to them, "It is written, 'MY HOUSE SHALL BE CALLED A HOUSE OF PRAYER'; but you are making it a ROBBERS' DEN."

    Matthew 21:12 and 13

    • What do you mean by quoting this, I'm confused?

      • He's commenting on the commercialisation of Christianity, as if being a Christian has been reduced to a set of rules and how-to's that you need to figure out by buying stuff? …oh wait…..

    • +1

      I was just trying to understand why he quoted.

      As far as I understand, the temple is representative of where God resided on earth so that people can come for prayer, offering and so on.

      But that was before what Jesus did on the cross. Moreso with Jesus' resurrection and the out pouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, "we" now are God's temple. Gods spirit resides in us and no more in a structural temple.

      In both cases, I think the point of the Matthew's verse is that people don't respect God.

    Thanks Scotty.

    I don't know what people want to prove by adding a snarky comment. If you're not Christian, then you obviously don't believe in God or feel the need for Christian resources. Sooooooo just pass along?

    • That would be far too mature of a thing for the people commenting angry here, it would seem….

      Really its been going for 4000 years now. Would you prefer for everyone to be Muslim, thats going well for us.

        In other words, don't criticise my religion as mine is right, all those other religions though are just plain stupid and evil.

        • Did i say that, nope.

      Western Christianity, perhaps. Other Christian movements are seeing progress like never before, whether Africa, Asia or the changes in South America.

      https://www.koorong.com/search/product/next-christendom-the-…

      Whether it is a good thing, well, it cannot be overly bad.
      The fact that so many people show hatred for it here reveals something deep. Even though, ironically enough modern civilisation only came out of Christendom. Fine, not be a Christian, but why the hate?

      • +2

        ..if you're a Christian you should know the answer to that already. :)

        • These movements are quite different. Of course, the Germanic's took their time to adjust as well, but as it is now the African/Asian movements are quite different from the Western Christianity commonly known, from research and speaking from personal experience. I say it cannot be overly bad because it cannot be worse then other certain types of beliefs, while not being exactly what I believe to be faith. But, if it works, perhaps they are right, who knows.

      You can hide deals from Koorong if you don't wish to see them.

      • -8

        That's not the point.

        • +18

          The point is, even with the most recent census Australia is still a predominately Christian country1. Therefore a Koorong deal might still be interested by many although some might not be as vocal on the Internet. However I also understand that some members here might have issues with certain category of deals (or problem with some users) which was the reason we allow people to hide deals by store or by original poster.

        • +5

          @onetwothree: The point is that that in itself is discriminatory for posts that do nothing but to highlight deals for those who are interested per se. Get a grip.

        • +1

          @onetwothree: That's right. Cos there's nothing worse that having evidence of something that's different to my own beliefs. Especially on the internet. Who'd have thought?

        • -4

          @EightImmortals: if there was any evidence then I would believe too and would say it's OK to post on here.

        • +6

          @onetwothree: The sole point of Ozbargain isn't to argue evidence. It's to post deals to benefit the community. Unless you have a well-founded reason as to why discrimination should run rife, I suggest you take your bigot opinions elsewhere.

        • -2

          @jtsback: not talking about discriminating, all religion and anti religion deals should be banned. Nice that you think I'm a bigot for not wanting religious views promoted, I'm not telling you to stop believing just stop advertising religion.

        • +2

          @onetwothree: That's rich. Coming from someone who sounds pretty damn anti-religious to me. I guess contradictory bigot would be more appropriate.

        • +2

          @onetwothree:

          Yeah my bad, I meant the 'evidence of other beliefs' was the existence of this thread. Hope that helps explain what I meant.

          (But tons of evidence in favour of Christianity, which I wont debate here as that's not the point of this site. Google is there for those who care. :) )

        • @scotty:

          The wiki link only proves that there are many Christians in Australia, but it is wrong to say Australia is a Christian country. By law Australia is NOT a Christian country.

          This is like, there are many a$%holes in Australia, maybe even including many members of the parliament. But that doesn't make Australia an a$%holes country.

        • @onetwothree: We drive sophisticated vehicles but they are nothing compared to the human body or the universe. The universe follows a precise timing and different parts of our body coordinate so well and we are still marveled at it's complexity. If I tell you that the car I drive came out of a "bang" or appeared from nowhere, will you believe it? I will definitely not believe it. If I do not have "faith" to believe that my car came out of a bang how can I have "faith" to believe that this universe came out of a bang.

          There is evidence all around you for the existence of God. What will you say of the person who visits famous art galleries around the world and admire the art but deny the existence of the artists and claim that the art just appeared? People today go around the world and view and admire scenic beauty but deny the existence of the creator and do not hesitate to state that they just appeared.

          I am a Christian because I don't have enough faith to believe that this world doesn't have a creator. I am a Christian because I do not have enough faith to believe that I do not have a creator.

      Secularism is a religion
      So is atheism, agnosticism, humanism….

    • +1

      So in your mind, a secular society should not contain religious material? That sounds more like a fascist society to me….

      True secular societies allow all ideas, religious and non-religious. Please educate yourself on what secular means.

  • Hi. I tried entering the code "439472" in Online Offer Code but it says '439472' is an invalid offer/coupon. Any ideas? Help! Thanks.

    • You don't need to enter a code online - the web store prices are already discounted by 20%.
