Let me explain myself a little bit better. Of course, marriage is not for reproduction only. But if the Bible does not condemn homosexuality or same-sex marriage and would be talking possitively about it , it would be contradicting itself, something that is impossible.
Try the OT and NT.


I wouldn't say they contradict each other. Not really.


I agree with Loki here.

The OT has verses that designate how it can be overwritten, and Jesus' coming does that.

God's actions do not necessary show Him to be a jealous and angry God, but one that must act harshly with an immature species.

That's my interpretation anyways.

It's always rather amusing to me that just because people don't like something (in this case, homosexuals going to hell - which is clearly stated)


Clearly stated where?

In Colt's Bible of Retardation? Book Green, Verse Moo?

Quote:

they try to come up with reasons why it simply isn't so.


Like the actual Scriptures?

Have you even read the Bible?

Quote:

Not everyone will believe in Christ, no doubt.


Too bad those of us that don't understand his teachings better then most of those that do?

You ought to ashamed.

Quote:

That's just how the world works. I suppose in the end, we will see who is right and who is wrong, true?


Perhaps, unless the Philosophical Materialists are right, and then we all will cease to exist in the end.

You admitted your mistakes.

That makes you far more intelligent then you realize.
Kind of refreshing isn't it?

"It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements: You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality."


Quote:

that last part in your Acts verse that's meant to debunk the Leviticus argument, it has a flaw. It still condemns sexual immorality. Unless there's a verse that takes homosexuality out of being immoral from Leviticus, thenit should sitll be immoral in the new laws, since it's not otherwise noted.


False. Nothing was simply carried over.

The Old Laws were overwritten. Everything was accounted for, or it wasn't sinful. Game set match.

Welcome, all! Loki, here, to try to teach everyone a thing or two about a little religion I ascribe to. People think they know about it, and yet they fail to know even the most basic knowledge from this religions holy texts. I am, of course, talking about Christianity. It’s a religion that, in America, 83% of people claimed in 2004. Yet, out of that 83%, maybe only 40% can name the 10 Commandments. Shameful, isn’t it? Therefore, I’m going to try to give a little view of what Christianity at it’s most naked is. I won’t tell you that your denomination is wrong and mine is right. Rather, I will refer to the Bible and ONLY the Bible. Also, I will only include books from the standard protestant Bible, NIV edition. If you have a problem with that, www.biblegateway.com has all the Bibles you could never read. It is to now be noted that this thread will be long. We’re going to cover a lot of subjects, including definitions of some terms, certain misconceptions popularly permeated through the Christian world, as well as defend Catholicism from those that would claim it is not Christianity. The posts will go as follows.

Post 1: Introduction
Post 2: Definitions
Post 3: Misconceptions About Homosexuality
Post 4: Misconceptions About Hell
Post 5: Misconceptions About the Literal Infallibility of the Modern Bible
Post 6: Misconceptions About Catholicism
Post 7: Other Misconceptions
Post 8: Other Threads on Christianity



In serving God it doesn't matter how much one knows about his words. It matters how much faith one has in His words


How can one have faith in something one does not know?

If you do not know the word of God you are putting your faith in lies.

Quote:

and how much they strive to live by the standards God taught.


If you do not understand those standards or think other standards are them, then you are striving towards lies.

See the issue with your ignorance?

you are all wrong


Prove it

Quote:

wait till the judgment and you all will go to hell.


False. The Scriptures disagree with you.

Quote:

Hell u hear me?


Its hard not to hear your idiocy, especially since I feel obligated to correct you.

Quote:

You will burn and be in pain for eternity.


False.

Quote:

How ever long that means to you. But as for me jeasus is awesome he died for me and you but you still dont love him.


There are plenty of Christians in this thread that love Jesus plenty.

As for me, I doubt he even exists.

Quote:

ha ha. I will walk on streets of gold and you will be walking the plank.


Unlikely. All go to paradise after purification, unless they choose not to enter.

You're not a very good Christian, even in attitude.

Quote:

Fess up for you wrongs like homosexuality


Not a wrong

Quote:

and underage sex.


Only troublesome because it allegedly harms the underaged person.

Quote:

And repent for wrong doing.


What wrong doing?

And as the end times near, there shall be false prohpets...

Telling me where I'm going to go when I die without any Biblical proof? Adding to the Holy Bible? Assuming I'm not a Christian (when I clearly say so on the front page, which must mean you're illiterate.)? Surely, then, you are a tool of Satan. Ye shall find yourself friendless and suffering the tongues of the eternal fire, the lake that is the second death, lest ye do not repent of your sinful ways.

Think for a minute. Do you really think the Jesus of old would have appreciated hearing that from one of his followers?

not everybody here is wrong... We are all just looking into things here... as for hell, i don't think i'll go there unless you do...... neutral
I like this beachgirl person who spelled 'Jesus' incorrectly. How ******** is that?

Congratulations, author of this thread, for one of the best-researched arguments I've seen in a long while!

OMG just leave religion alone, I don't think any religion is wrong, but the points you bring up are making me question by views

Excuse me?

First of all, questioning your views is what the ED is all about. More than that, it's integral to anything which actually involves having an opinion. Both science and the arts would fail and die if no one ever questioned their views. If you never question your views, how will you know you have the right ones?

Saying 'OMG stop you're making me question my views!' isn't going to do anything more than making us think less of you for thinking that this is a bad thing. If you don't like it I suggest you go to the chatterbox.

I don't know that repentance would do much good, really.

Because, by saying that you are going to hell without providing scriptural evidence, isn't she usurping the divine right to judgement?

Do you think that could be considered as blasphemy against the Holy Spirit?

And isn't that mentioned in the Bible as being the one unforgivable sin?

Good. You should always question your own views. If you don't, you will never know if you are right or not. You don't want to stagnate in outmoded and incorrect beliefs, do you?
