This website is ace, I'm still on genesis and I'm in bits... seriously guys go visit it. http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/contra/respect.html

God has respect for some people.
Genesis 4:4
And the Lord had respect unto Abel.

Exodus 2:25
And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them.

Leviticus 26:9
For I will have respect unto you, and make your fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.

2 Kings 13:23
And the Lord was gracious unto them ... and had respect unto them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob...

Psalm 138:6
Though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect for the lowly.

God respects no one.


Deuteronomy 10:17
For the Lord your God ... regardeth not persons.

17For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:

(this text obviously disproves this "edited" quote. 2 different words do not mean the same thing.. especially in this context.)



2 Chronicles 19:7
For there is no iniquity with the Lord our God, nor respect of persons.

 7Wherefore now let the fear of the LORD be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with the LORD our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts.

(this is saying the lord will not just save you from eternal damnation without believing in him, and trying to follow a non-wicked life. Fear mongering, yes, but true.)



Acts 10:34
God is no respecter of persons.

 33Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.

 34Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

 35But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

(I can only assume this means god does not respect the human tendancy to do horrible things. But, if you do right, he will accept you)

 

 

Romans 2:11
For there is no respect of persons with God.

8But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,

 9Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;

 10But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:

 11For there is no respect of persons with God.

 12For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;

(same as above, but also that all of the people are equal.)

 

 

 

Galatians 2:6
God accepteth no man's person.

And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:

 5To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

 6But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:

(does not mean the same as respect, now that you see the entirety)

 

 

Ephesians 6:9
Neither is there respect of persons with him.

Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

 7With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:

 8Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

 9And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.

 10Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

 11Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

 12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

(This is talking about how everybody is equal in the kingdom of heaven)

 

 

Colossians 3:25
There is no respect of persons.
 "But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons."

(You can interpret this how you want, but I believe it is saying how god doesn't respect those peoples' actions.)

 

 

1 Peter 1:17

And if ye call upon the Father, who without respect of persons, jugeth according to every man's work.

Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

 14As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:

 15But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

 16Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

 17And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:

 18Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;

(I think this is just a really unfortunate mistranslation, or mess-up. You see god, just before this sentence you mention, saying men who worship him need to be holy, such as he. If he says he has no respect for them, then he would not have care/respect for himself either. This would go against fundamental christian principles.)

Where I got the bible passages - http://www.biblegateway.com/

Oh no, it looks like you have gotten me... Not.

Because, you see, these examples you have given have been mistranslated, and apparently that site only likes to post the bare minimum. If you post the whole thing, the situation changes dramatically in most cases.

But also, keep in mind, the king james version of the bible is very, very old. Meanings to some words have changed, and altered, in the process of translation.

The bible is a little flawed, but it doesn't change the central meaning. You have proved nothing.

Side-note:

Actually, bigjon is thinking what I was thinking

This has actually been quite educational for me.

@wessle

Yes, it comes as a suprise to me that you, a self professed person who secretly laughes at religious people, uses his opinion to try and prove some religious people wrong. Well done. Actually, this whole arguement against my faith is opinion based. Huh, sounds like the wanking the faith cock is happening both ways, with your definition. But the same goes my my debunking. Some of it is oipinion based, but when opinion VS opinions, canceling out happens. But fine, go along with your bias. I will not reply to this thread again, unless it is on a different subject. It is no use argueing with somebody who you know you will not change their opinion, as they only make you waste your time. You have already exceeded my limit of wasted time.

/MASSIVELY EPIC DEBUNKING POST

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!! I feel better now.

EDIT: AHHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!This edit is in responce to  the Acts 10:34 accusation!!!!!
