If I'm a Stalinist then you're a Maoist.
I was simply stating the fact that he probably wasn't a psychotic murderer, but a very strict leader (not always a good thing, I don't deny the fact that he put a lot of people in prison). At that time, it was either anarchy and revolution, or put your adversaries in jail, and rule with an iron fist. Without Stalin the USSR couldn't have become so great, and therefore he must be remembered for that. That is all.
I believe in a Socialist nation that has rules and regulations in place. IE a senate and congress, as well as a premiere. Or in layman's terms, a republic.

He had a developed a hybrid form of government based off the Marxist ideology to suit his needs. It was known as Stalinism.
Stalinism is considered as a practice of Communism.

[QUOTE=Chippay;18215585]no god dammit. why don't you understand your own religion?
“For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass the law until all is accomplished. Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:18-19 RSV)
"It is easier for Heaven and Earth to pass away than for the smallest part of the letter of the law to become invalid." (Luke 16:17 NAB)
"Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest part or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place." (Matthew 5:17 NAB)
"Know this first of all, that there is no prophecy of scripture that is a matter of personal interpretation, for no prophecy ever came through human will; but rather human beings moved by the holy Spirit spoke under the influence of God." (1 NAB)
“Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law" (John7:19) and “For the law was given by Moses,..." (John 1:17).
“...the scripture cannot be broken.” --Jesus Christ, John 10:35[/QUOTE]
"Has not Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps the law. [B]Why are you trying to kill me?[/B]" (John 7:19)
Don't half quote scripture to suit your needs. Jesus was being hunted; people were trying to kill him, directly against the ten commandments. That has nothing to do with the Old Testament law of redemption.
"Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." (2 Peter 20-21)
All that's saying is that it wasn't the prophets who came up with the prophecy, it was the Holy Ghost.
And I am completely confused at your logic. Jesus came to free us from the bondage of Sin so Lucifer would not have the keys to death, and so we wouldn't be sent to purgatory. We wouldn't have to have the sacrifice of the Lamb to atone for sin any longer. That's what the messiah was prophesied to do.
what caused you to be so stupid
I wonder...

regardless of the context the first quote still suits the purpose of my post, but thanks for providing more context i guess.
the second quote merely reinforces my argument, although it's clear you chose a translation that was more suitable to your heretic argument. no prophesy of the scripture is of private interpretation, but it is rather the motivation of god himself. as per your religion, god is never wrong, and the scripture is infallible.
and my argument isn't based on logic. it's based on the scripture of your religion. you can either follow it, as jesus said, or you can burn in hell. like in christianity itself there is no need to think during my posts, this is what jesus said, the old testament is to be followed.

Regardless of whether or not he is wrong, you should still be civil about it. Rather than calling him a "fucking idiot" and moving on, you should eloquently address his argument and present to him your own argument in an non-confrontational and civilized manner.
Check my posts in the anime thread for an example of this. I try to be as eloquent and thorough as possible without being accusatory, confrontational, or aggressive. This is a forum for discussion, not shit flinging.

By slaughter you mean place them in prisons because they were political criminals? That's the way I see it. Was it justified? No, it wasn't. Was it necessary? It was if the USSR was to modernize and become a world power.
I merely put the dark side of Stalin aside and focus on what he's done to benefit the USSR. And the good outweighs the bad.

Transforming a 3rd world country, majority of which were peasants, into a world super power that provides education, healthcare, and industry is no easy task.

Yeah. Just look at what you can accomplish with little elbow grease and several million dead Ukrainians.
