The food dictates that.post=106893Feld who are you to tell me i'm a terrible christian and/or representative of God?
French, nobody is harping on you for your beliefs. You're getting a hard time because you are a terrible representative of your beliefs.
Who is anybody to tell me that?
Nobody has the right to tell me that.
God dictates that.
WHY HELLO KETTLE, MY NAME IS POT MY YOU ARE LOOKING BLACK TODAY
Because you are relying on a literal interpretation of a book you have never read that has been translated thousands of times, and has had just as many edits. Also apparently God is bipolar, because man the old testament one is an asshole.
post=106912Old Testament is more my style. Nothing quite like the ordained slaughter of women and children, and the murder of people who just happened to be born first. Also, bats are birds.

I am more moral than god, and also smarter.

Karsuman how can you say I never read the bible.

You're just trying to come to an conclusion to make yourself sound witty.

Karsuman just by looking at your avatar tells me a lot about you maturity.

AFD, looking at your avatar tells me a lot about you sexual orientation.
It's true. There comes a point in every man's life when he must shed his childish ways and select for his internet forum avatar a white-haired anime prettyboy on a hot pink background.
AFD. First off, I am Christian. I do not blindly follow, and make my decision to believe rationally. I have studied Biblical passages, led congregations in worship, and explained religious concepts to other people, so I know what I am talking about.
There is one post you should pay attention to:
I wouldn't say you know absolutely nothing... but... you haven't grasped what he stated there. Christ never used "God's Will" as a reason to spread hatred. Christ's message was, as Solitayre said, of peace, love, tolerance, and unity. Remember that beforehand, God had led the Jews, but the point of Christ was to "make disciples of all nations" (Matthew 28:19) -- thus Christianity. To make believers, regardless of whatever characteristics people had.
TOLERANCE:
God is not supposed to be a security camera. It's not: "do exactly this or you will be caught and burn forever." Sure, God said homosexuality is a sin, but the point is, everyone has sinned. Even you, AFD, have sinned, and cannot help continuing to sin. You can be homosexual and still go to heaven--the only requirement for going to heaven, as Christ specifially states, is to believe in him.
It says so right here, John 3:16. Possibly the most quoted verse?
You can sin in your last breath on earth, but as long as you believe in Christ, you will be forgiven. The homosexuality thing is no worse than than any other sin--every sin, from a simple to mass murder is the same in the eyes of God.
The things you're saying are the same type of things that caused the bloody Crusades, or the things Christopher Columbus did to the Native Americans. You do not preach to force people to believe, you teach them and help them to grow.
Personally, I do not support gay marriage as I believe marriage is a religious institution, but I believe that domestic partnerships should have equality.
Perhaps you should considering quoted your source text--the Bible--like I did next time.
edit: how is there like another page and a half of replies while I was writing this

You know absolutely nothing of the Bible.This much is clear. The fact that you are attempting to use "God's Will" as justification for some manner of hatred or discrimination demonstrates sharply that you understand nothing of Christ's message for peace, love, tolerance and unity for all mankind.

Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, orwhatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:

Brick, I haven't talked to you in forever, but there's just one thing I have to say.
That is a classy crab.
Do you think there's a Konami code that can get you into heaven with unlimited lives and fully powered up?

hi read my post please
Hey now, be nice. My insult wasn't random AT ALL. In fact, it was very intentionally crafted to mimic the exact same insult you had just used! It was completely deliberate, I swear!
It looks like you're not interested in trying to prove me wrong so I'll go ahead and do it for you. It should be amusing.
Here it is folks, proof that God dissaproves of homosexuality!
"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination" (Leviticus 18:22). "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them" (Leviticus 20:13)
Wow, it realy does exist, right there in the Old Testament. That's amazing. Let's see what else the Old Testament has to say...
"Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. You can will them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly." Leviticus 25:44-46
“If a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as menservants do. If she does not please the master who has selected her for himself, he must let her be redeemed." Exodus 21: 7-8
“If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, 21 but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property." Exodus 21:20
So owning slaves is also okay, and you can beat them as long as you don't kill them. Also you can sell your daughter into slavery as long as you follow the rules.
I am not trying to rag on the Bible or the Jews or anything like that but I think that perhaps not all of this applies anymore. Society has ruled that slavery is not okay anymore, why can't they rule that homosexuality IS okay? Lots of places in the world have done so and I don't think God hates those people. Someday, the United States will as well, I'm sure.

Azn, I respect you but you have severely misread the bible.
Azn Homosexuality is a sin, we both know that.
And can anything dirty with sin get into heaven?
Absolutely not. God does not allow any sin into heaven Azn. Homosexuality included.
You have greatly mistaken Azn.

Murder is a sin and god murdered many, many people. He's in heaven.
