Welcome to Gaia! ::

God IS life. If he wasn't pro-life, why the heck would he have created the world and everything in it??? rolleyes

And also, how can you tell us what God does and what God does not encourage if you yourself have not accepted Him into your life? Trying to Interpret what you do not know is like planting an apple seed and getting a weed. It doesn't work.

The point is, if you keep arguing with us without even considering what we have to say then why do you insist? It is like picking a fight just because you can. When one starts up a subject of debate usually they want to find different views and maybe accept them; not fight ruthlessly without consideration. They have given you all the reasoning you need...go back and read them over if still you wonder and protest!

You're right, I shouldn't assume. But I guess I came to the conclusion that she didn't when there were about 11 pages of denying Scripture...the very voice of God. *shrug* When people accept Christ into their hearts, the voice of another Christian is like a brother encouraging you, not beating you up.

still...you can't start a debate discussion, read what people have to say about it and then laugh, shake your head, and say "you're wrong! Try again!" until the cows come home...I mean, you can, but if that is the case then why did the person start it to begin with?

My understanding of the Bible says that a person cannot. A physical body is merely the shell which hosts the soul, and ultimately it is only the soul that is important. A "person" without a soul would be no different than any simple animal.

Show me one time i denied the Bible. Nobody in this discussion, until you, has claimed this. Even the people who disagreed with me, the people who posted verses trying to show me wrong did not say this about me.

You have now said i am not a Christian. You have now nearly said i am a heretic. You have come here, insulted me in possibly the worst way possible. Why? If you disagree with me, why do you not tell me why i am wrong? How dare you spit in my face? You have not even said what i stated which is wrong, and yet you claim i refuse to listen to others.

What have i done to deserve this, and what kind of "Christian" are you to do it?



But apparently it is okay to come into a discussion and do exactly that. I try not to insult people, but you are despicable.

*sigh*
zz1000zz, You use much more logic in other threads. I wonder why you set up this thread in the first place? It feels to me like you set up this thread merely to be contrary, rather than to actually debate. If you did set up this thread to actually debate, it seems to me, and it appears to seem to many other members, that you are merely baiting them.
I'm not saying that you *are* baiting them: I know nothing about you except for your posts. You could be a 91 year old wheel-chair bound man or a high-school cheerleader. All I know is that you don't seem to be *debating*; it does seem that you are merely re-stating your point of view without listening to anyone else's.
I like debates- actual debates. The entire reason I come to this guild is *to debate*, to strengthen myself as a Christian. As a result, I try to come to debates open-minded, being willing to change my opinions.
I could be wrong, however, it does *feel* like you are not here open-minded. Now, saying that you are not Christian is a poor way to point that out- to be sure, but the last person that did so admitted that was a poor way of stating her point, and explained why she did so in a civil manner. If you expect her to flat-out apologize, say so. It is unfair to hold grudges because someone got frustrated and phrased something incorrectly; how many times have you yourself done that?
There will always be some people on this guild that are closed-minded and ignorant- its a large guild, and there's such a thing as free speech, which sadly we cannot restrict to the mentally capable. (that was a joke, btw. I fully believe that even imbeciles should be able to say whatever they want. I just wish they wouldn't.) Expect a few of those, but don't just back out of a discussion because you feel insulted.
I, at least, will be continuing to post on this discussion until it comes to a halt of its own accord. smile I've been having fun.

Here's a situation:
There is a gun. You're not sure if it has any bullets in it or not; you don't think it does, but you can't take it apart and look.
Would you shoot anybody with the gun? Would you aim it at anybody and pull the trigger?

I think of abortion the same way. There's no way for me to know for sure what God wants of me all the time. But, you know, he gave me a brain to think with. So I think, I really don't know if it is wrong. But the *potential* for it to be a terrible thing has to be weighed against the potential for it being a valid life-choice. I have to weigh one against the other. Now I'm not worried about going to hell for anything I do: I'm a Christian, I'm going to heaven. But I would feel terrible if I went to heaven and found out that I had done something that turned out to be terrible.

Because I don't know, I won't do it. But I cannot condemn someone else who does, because I just don't know.

I have looked at all the Biblical proof given here and i agree that the things u say are not sins are most definately sins.


But first you have to ask your self this.

Does it sound right to have sex with many partners at once? doesnt STD's spread through that?

does ripping an unborn baby to shreads with a suction tube filled with swirling blades sound a little bit homicidal? or even humane?

Does it look at all natural for men to be kissing and touching each other?

and if the world only had sex with one person, that person being there wife or husband, would there be an aids outbreak across the world?


You can disagree with the Bible as much as you like but Dont tell people there wrong when they have quoted it and showed you what the bible has said.
