[After being pointed to scripture that's interpreted as meaning you can have recreational sex as long as you're married]
I have a few things to say concerning this scripture. First, do this passages have to be referring to intercourse? Being satisfied by your wife's breasts and embracing a spouse's bosom does not sound like intercourse to me.
Evolution is a religion in competition with Christianity. It has its adherents, priests and apologists. Since the priests are the ones manufacturing the 'evidence' they can be like the pagan priests who conjured 'magic' to convince the people to continue to support them.
You can all get some tracks [sic] at that website above [from Jack Chick]. They are pretty cheap, and have a <u>very</u> good message.
If you are saying that the simple fact of owning another man is unjust then you must also assert that Roman slavery was unjust, for they, too, practiced human bondage. As far as the mistreatment of slaves, I agree it is wrong, but it does not chang the obligation of the slave to obey the master.
Jesus is God! It was proved in the Bible... There were cases in the NT where Jesus could not perform miracles because of unbelief. Maybe this is why miracles are not so common-because of unbelief!
It's scriptural for me to pray for victory over our enemies. If you don't like it you can pray for the other guys.
Believe me, we are not dumb enough to think that all of our relatives are going to be there. It makes my heart sick, that my dear grandmother, who was Catholic, will not be there...
Oh and one more thing the burden of proof or rather disproof is on you not on us. We have faith that God exsists and that the bible is the word of God - you don't; so you have to disprove it to us.
Think about it. No one alive has seen George Washington, how do we know he was real and not a myth created by our ancestors? In addition we have the testimonies of the changed lives over the centuries. How many today say their life was changed by George washington?
You wouldn't know what love is if it wasn't for God. In fact, come to think of it. You probably don't. No wait. Your answer is probably something like this: "Love is a chemical reaction in the brain influenced by the way the starts shine on the yellow elephants in the Gnorgy solar system...yadayadayada....
Either way. If God exists, and if he created us, and if he loves us, and if he sent his son to die for us, then it would be unreasonable to assume that he would force us to love him. Then, however, we are left to love someone or something better than him. So, by all means, go ahead and do that. Nobody keeps you. Is that hell? I don't know. Maybe it's like getting satisfied sexually by five blonde virgins in eternity. If that's your thing, you will probably get it. But make no mistake. Eternity is a long time. And even getting laid in eternity is probably more like hell than heaven.
The so-called 'sorting' of the fossils is one of the biggest frauds ever invented by evolutionists.
Good, kept them in a seperate school. It will keep them from contaminating the morals of other young people.
Since I have some people here [on a topic about evolution in the Science subforum), Im going to share the gospell with you guys (one more time wont hurt, you must have heard it all before i know)
The theory is total speculation with no basis in scientifc possibilties. Whereas, we have written accounts of the life of Jesus Christ, and His ressurection, done by either eyewitnesses themselves or written from interviews with eyewitnesses (I'm more inclined to the former), which you claim to not be extraordinary enough evidence.... In a court of law, which theory would be more acceptable as per the full and total evidence, if looked at with no bias?
... every religion says basically this: you live a good life and God will love you and you go to heaven. This is the breading ground for religious zealotry. However, Christianity says that we are already saved and loved by God because of what Jesus did for us. That's why true Christianity can never be oppressive.
By and large I believe that God created the races for a reason. And I believe that the races belong together-white with white, black with black, red with red, yellow with yellow. White should be looking for a white marriage and black should be looking for a black marriage--get my drift??"
"Now, as a Senior Pastor of a SBC conservative church--would I marry a white/black in a church sanctioned marriage?? Not if the parents had a problem with it or if my members had a problem with it.
There are a great number of instances where jews show a fascination with various perversions. Look at the jew howard stern.
It's a foregone conclusion that Satan has been standing over J.K. Rowling's shoulder from the moment she first put pen to paper. The ONLY matter up for debate is whether or not she KNOWS he's there.
I wouldn't be so sure, nothing is proven, and as it is, while mirco evolution works very well, marco evolution (apes to man) has glaring impracticalities yet to be overcome.
Unbelieving parents do not have a covenant with God and are in his disfavor. Their children would not be under a "spiritual blanket" and would face the same punishment as their parents.
I think this idea is supported by the cleansing of Canaan. Joshua was commanded to kill every living thing, which included children and babies. Infants were considered unclean since they were members of a pagan culture that their parents participated. Israeli children were considered clean because they were part of God's chosen culture.
Plus, the bible hasn't yet been proven wrong or fallable. Yes there have been several links and websites saying they have, but shoot guys, there is a website proving that there wasn't a haullacost(sp?) and that all the jews fronted the 6 million deaths to make the germans look bad. If people can be so easily thrown by that one little thing from a huge action that happened, then of course you will be thrown and lead to beleive something about something so minor and detailed.
The only thing else I want to say about this is even if this finding turns out to be a hoax, which I believe it is not, there is no denying the fact that Jesus Christ was a REAL person. You don't have to believe that He was the son of God, but you should believe that he existed as a person. If He didnt exist why would we base our calendars off His birth and His death?
No scientific evidence, verified or unverified, can be allowed to take precedence over the existence of life after death. That is my dogma, my fixed assumption, and I have an absolute and desperate stake in that belief. If I stop believing in life after death, I shall find myself in a lunatic asylum very soon. I will not debate life after death, and I will not look at evidence against life after death. I believe in theistic evolution because it provides the promise of an afterlife.
Honestly, atheists are genetically inferior beings. God has predestined them to their retarded state. I truly believe that Satan will use them as toilet paper in hell. God has given us a sign against atheism. It is their undeniable ugliness that gives them away. 95% of atheists would rate below a 2 on hotornot.com. If this is not proof, then I don't know what is. You are ugly.
Oh, and BTW even if I *was* wrong about the TOE you better not come on here and attack me for being ignorant of it when many of you on here are completly ignorant of the correct representation of the Bible and even many creationist theories. Seems pretty critical to me.
I agree with HeIsEnough. LOTR is pure fantasy taking place on a fantastical world with unreal characters. While Gandalf is cool, he is also not the main character or hero. HP [Harry Potter] is a kid, a real kid from a real world taken away to become a witch/warlock and made a child hero because of his abilities in the craft. He then has adventure after adventure. What kid wouldn't want to be HP???
Gods want FAITH. Maybe He feels He has given us enough 'witness' and now wants us to believe regardless 'science' shows. Maybe it takes a sort of 'blind faith' to weed thru all the 'evidence'.
Besides no one really takes Darwin’s ideas seriously any longer – except those who still depend on those school science text books which haven’t been up dated in soooo long, Darwin might have been on some of their advisory boards.
We arent Doomsday Nuts,we are just telling people what is coming and trying to bring people to Jesus. That dont make us Doomsday Nuts,that makes us modern day Paul Revere's.
So many lost people on here from the deconversion list. Would to hate to be an atheist responsible for leading someone to Hell at judgement.
I still disagree with the fact that its genetic... It doesn't make sense that your sexual orinatation could be determined by lil proteins floting around in my cells.
It's funny how you will NOT accept God without proof, but you will accept other things without proof. No one has PROVED evolution yet, but yet you accept it as fact. There is a reason why it is the THEORY of evolution. At least be consistent in your beliefs
[On the types of sins done by infants]
For example: the baby has been fed, burped, clean diaper, loved, etc. Now you lay the baby to bed knowing full well that all needs have been met and the baby cries. At the time the baby cries it is leading you to believe that there is something wrong and if you pick up the baby and it stops crying then the baby through its' cry has lied and will continue this tactic as long as it works. The baby's only possible motive is SELF GRATIFICATION.
I've heard that evolution is still going on but yet no one can explain why humans have stopped evolving from animals.
from...haha...rocks to frogs to horses to birds to whales to apes to men. That's what evolution taught us in school.
I'm so angry right now. I was doing some searches for "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" on Kazaa, and all that kept coming up was porn! I'm so shocked that Kazaa actually swaps porn! Later on, I was board, so I just searched for "A" to see what would come up. Lo and behold, there's some rap and college papers, but the most stuff that pops up is porn! I search for "B", then "C", then "D" then "E", and for everyone one of those letters I searched for, porn was always the most stuff that came up. Crap like this makes me sick . You KNOW we're in the end times when stuff like this happens.
I'm in agreement. A mother can find out her life will be seriously threatened if she has a child, but if she's a believer she should leave her life and her baby's in God's hands. It's all about His will not ours.
Evolution does say that we evolved from monkeys and micro organisms. Particularly hard core evolutionists.
God can not be proven to exist. I am going to concede this point right from the get go. God also can not be disproved to exist. I am not sure if the atheists within earshot are going to concede this as well or not, if not I would appreciate if they would prove me wrong. It is irrational to believe in that which can not be proven.
the body cannot do anyting on its own, the soul is the life principle - what animates it.
This is an uneducated statement because I've heard nothing but contradictions of evolution from evolutionists and creationists. The fact that there is still apes is one of millions.
What do you believe in? I ask this question because I'm getting the impression you believe that your god is a god who judges no one; he accepts all into his loving arms no matter what they do or believe. If this is true, the only problem with this line of thinking is this god only exists in your mind.
... most people who have told me they believe in evolution dont really know what it's about and seem to be saying that so they dont have to actually think about it
[After someone explains the Strong Nuclear Force]Seems like a pretty good arguement to me. Like I said, gluons have never been observed, measured, or proven to exist. They were made up by Athiests to try to explain the phenomina of why the nuclei stay together. Gluons do not exist.
That would be the worst thing in the world if my kid turned against Christianity. However, my kid, being my kid, would never be stupid enough to reject God. To do so is ignorant.
The pope, remember, has infallibility... The pope says no abortion. I totally agree with him. If he was wrong, then you are saying that God, the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Blessed Trinity, had lied and proclaimed a wrong.
Do you believe in evolution? (I'm assuming you do since you don't believe in God) Do you realize that Creationism fits every single piece of evidence better that evolution?
I am so angry... My son who started his freshman year in high school is being taught evolution... I explain to him it is all a man made lie but it still bothers me. Can't christians unite and take evolution out of school the same way the world took prayer out of schools or the ten commandments out of court houses?
... to be honest thats why I became a believer , because the bible states that if you believe in any of Gods word you have to believe it all...I have always had a natural ability to tell if someone is lying or if something is not true...
Right now on the Discovery Channel Satan is hard at work decieving millions. The program 'Caveman' shows how modern man has 'evolved' from tree limb swinging baboon to homo sapien. The show has incredible special effects; fortunately I know the truth about the THEORY of evolution. Pray for others who are watching this.
