It's a lot of ******** drama bullshit mixed in with stress from work. I'm just sick of it and waiting for it to pass.
Those things usually do. *hugs*

I'm going because it's a gay-friendly community church that a friend from PFLAG invited me to.

-hugs back- Yeah but the drama is circling around an ex-friend bent on destroying everyone of my friends because my friends have destroyed his chances at getting back at his ex because he's a lying ********.

And that's cool. biggrin

Stressing yourself out over it accomplishes nothing except let him win.

Heyo Christians. This sunday I'll be going to a church for the actual service for the first time in oooooo around 7 or 8 years. I'm an oathbreaker. And I'm uncertain, but depending upon your definition of "blasphemy against the holy spirit" I've committed that too.

I was invited to attend the service by this local community church.

What think you all?


And what would you define "blasphemy against the Holy Spirit" as?


spreadng false information about God causing people to turn away from God as a result.
 
     
 
So speaketh the cowerd who has to white out his text. In hopes of denying argument? Or simply for he has none?

because YOU say so right?

I am not here to argue the right of homosexuals to marry or to be together, because it does not suit the topic of this forum. The proper understanding and interpretation of the scriptures has become the greatest import.
Well, yea, the whole topic is about Misunderstandings within the main church fractions of Christianity which go against scripture.

Quote:
The scriptures may be interpreted in a variety of different ways, as is the right of humans, having a living soul and thinking mind, to do.
No, it CAN be inturpreted a number of different ways, it MAY be inturpreted only one way. Which would be the way it was ment to be read in. Granted humans being but soft mortals and living for a span of a paltry 80 years give or take a few decades we can no longer remember or referance or speak to those that know how it was ment to be read. Therefore we must hope, pray and speculate.

However, a scientific study of the bible as a text is just that, the scientific analysis of a text, and nothing more.

This has nothing to do with science my friend. If it did we'd have denounced the entire structure of the Bible, the church and everything within it long before now. Science has no place in faith as science has no sacred cows it cannot slaughter while Faith is nothing but a sacred cow ripe for the harvest.

Quote:
If you wish to divulge the spiritual aspects of its pages, it is important that more than scientifically, you as well wield yourself spiritually, with good faith in your God, whether it be the God of heaven or of hell, or if you worship some other idol, object, sport, soul, friend, what have you.
You didn't even make it past the OP let alone the 8 pages of text afterward did you?

Quote:
Without study in light of your faith, scriptural study is about as useful as disecting the text of a child's picturebook.
Is it.. Now I've said before and I'll say again my English is not so good, so what is the term here when someone does not know another persons argument or conditions and yet judges them and the argument as less than worthy because "They say so"

Prejudice yes?
Quote:
To conclude, no scientist can decide what any individual is supposed to believe or was meant to believe spiritually.

Jesus said that about people who claimed his miracles (specifically casting out demons) were done through the use of demonic powers. these days most people believe that either God was behind them or they didn't happen.


Given that we can't verify his "miracles" and that they may be likely nothing more than common magic tricks or even just sheer embellishment or pure fabrication, I would strongly err towards the latter. This is augmented by a combination of science with Occam's razor making a deity unnecessary (and thus, by Occam's razor, nonexistent). Without anything definitive, I still place the claim in a state of doubt, but the razor alone makes me lean heavily towards the "no miracles" side.

try this thread. your post is off topic.


You're not a moderator and it's not your job to police the thread. Furthermore, what you posted is spam - I'm actually trying to keep some semblance of discussion going here. Mind actually responding to me instead of complaining?

Plus this is a thread about beliefs and misconceptions of Christianity, wheather or not Jesus performed miricals and their validity IS on topic.

And what would you define "blasphemy against the Holy Spirit" as?
Saying that the works of God are done by some other power. Like the Romans incident.
Even if the Bible was written by several men is blasphemy? neutral
wut? How does that relate to what I was saying?

And who are you and what have you done to DB? O.o
I am DB.
.....I dunno. I'm just now starting to wake up >.<


LIES! Why would DB go to an actual church?


Because when DB first came to this thread... What was that now? 2 years ago?... S(he) was a fallen christian trying to make amends between His(er) life and the policies of the church.

And DB, I'm gonna toss you back on that policy I have going with Poe. I met you as a Male and until I meet you with tits, I'm gonna keep using the Male... posessive.. thinggies.

I'm not trying to dispute you about the over all topic of the thread, I just have to say that the holy matrimony of the Christians is meant to be between a man and a woman, not between two people of the same gender. I believe this, and you have your right to believe other wise. But I believe that homosexuals, like myself, should have the same rights as a heterosexual married couple, but it shouldn't be called marriage.


topic isn't about Gay Marrage (man you didn't even make it past the thread title did you?) Topic is about misconceptions of the church in general and usually homosexuality in specific.
Holy Matramony may be a specific union before the CHURCH to announce a marrage which yes, they can and have full rights to restrict it to just a man and woman copupling, just as they can restrict circumcision to boys and who does or does not get baptised. Perfectly within their rights
marriage and Holy Matrimony are different things. Marriage is a legal opblication, matrimony is a religious sacriment.
Granted, if there is nothing wrong with homosexuality and homosexual sex in the church then the church is doing a great disservice to its homosexual patrons by denying them the sacriments because they personally "think it's icky" and Jesus tends to have issues with the things pharasis tend to say.

This post means absolutely nothing. It's a perversion because I didn't just balls first make a guess and keep my faith about that guess? Sorry, kid, but knowledge is one of the gifts of the Spirit, as is wisdom. Having faith about Christ is fine. But just having faith at random? There's nothing in the Bible that says we should have uneducated faith.


In fact I believe there's a part where Jesus said that untested belief is no belief at all. So in a way the Bible says we SHOULD have EDUCATED faith.

I'd say that's still at most blasphemy against God.
Oh, ok. It's just that different people tell me different things, so it's hard for me to tell who to believe. But I'm still technically an oathbreaker, so I dunno. These days, if I need to enter a church for something (like yesterday, I was helping with a screening of "Anyone and Everyone, highly recommended for those of y'all who are Christian and struggling with how to accept a child, spouse, or other person who is lgbt) I pray to YHVH to ask his forgiveness for the transgression of His space.


Or you could just ask forgiveness/release from your oath.

I mean even within Cathlocism your oath cannot be taken until you're 12.

DB is a guy, Gho's the girl. So I'm sure DB won't mind you using male nouns. XD

Also, Recursive Paradox no longer goes by the name of her previous account, due to stalking. She'd really appreciate it if you'd edit your post. (I'd know, I got yelled at for it once. emo )

I'm working on a topic regarding Satan, ladies and gentlemen. It's far from finished, and after it's actually finished, I might change some things around before sending it to linaloki so he can post it up on the first page. I hope it will be exhaustive enough.

Just make sure to make paragraphs in that topic biggrin Many infodumps I've read, people forget to make paragraphs.
