history of the churches of the latter day saints of the chuch of jesus c
Of course. The logical extension then is that when the Book not only has no moral consistency or any element of timelessness and is full of mistakes, fabrications and logical inconsistencies, it is quite clearly not divine. If God designed the universe in all its complexity and intricacy, he would, were he to divinely-inspire someone to write a book about it, inspire them correctly. He would not inspire them to write scientific rubbish such as Adam and Eve and the nonsense of Genesis and he would not inspire them to write complete fabrications such as the entirety of the story of Exodus.each person is entitled to their own idea of right and wrong and even when it comes to christian moral codes...things aren't always black and white.
but i guess you just have to think about these things sometimes even if it means being a bit skeptical.
things change
what was right then is wrong now
what is right now was wrong then.
that's just my opinion.
Islam is just honest about the fact that its religion is brutal, barbaric and violent, unlike Christianity.and the xtians went through some period of enlightenment where they tried to reconcile their beliefs with modern views and muslis havent done this yet cos they are too busy being all JIHAD JIHAD instead of being the learned shcolars they used to be renoundeded for
+1.actually, the passage she has quoted says that jews should stone gays to death, not christians...Its from the old testament...WE should forgive them yet aknowledge that they are sinning...She's a dumb blonde who doesn't fully undersatnd what she's talking about!
Also, your second link is broken
The Bible says everyone is forgiven by God if they repent, no matter what sin the have committed - that includes homosexuals.can you explain to me what the bible says RE homosexuality?
and also what the bible means
summarised version
Homosexuality is described as a sin in the Bible becasue God made man and woman to engage in the act of sex for the purposes of reproduction. That's the purpose of sex. And in His good grace, he made it pleasurable as well.why is homosexuality viewed as a sin when it has been proven to be perfectly natural?
also
what is involved in repenting a sin?
could i theoretically do this on my deathbed/as i bleed to death?
ya dont think humans evolved so that sex became extremely pleasurable and thus made people more likely to want to reproduceHomosexuality is described as a sin in the Bible becasue God made man and woman to engage in the act of sex for the purposes of reproduction. That's the purpose of sex. And in His good grace, he made it pleasurable as well.
In this fallen world, many bad things are considered 'natural'.
--
Repenting is the act of 'turning around'. It is admiting to God that you have done wrong by Him and having Faith that if you believe this truely in your heart, He will save you by His grace, by way of Jesus's death and resurrection on the cross, as a perfect man. Repenting is also about living this out in your lives. Faith without deeds is dead, as it says in James.
Sorry if that sounded very technical. Best to read the Bible rather than my posts.
The books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and Romans are good places to start.
Several points here as to why this is absurd.Homosexuality is described as a sin in the Bible becasue God made man and woman to engage in the act of sex for the purposes of reproduction. That's the purpose of sex. And in His good grace, he made it pleasurable as well.

Aw, Scorch. You make me smile.This is just to start off with. If you really insist I'll fully deconstruct the entire Christian ethos and demonstrate how it is disgusting, hypocritical, violent and an altogether ghastly thing.
Several points here as to why this is absurd.
- If God created the human body in perfection why did he engineer it such that anal sex is pleasurable?
- If God is so omnipotent and can see everything in the future then why did he make such a bad mistake in the first place and then blame us for it? It's rather the height of negligence on his part.
- Why should a book that condones slaughter, oppression of women, war-crimes, sex slavery, normal slavery, the butchery of prisoners of war and human sacrifice have any authority to tell a rational human being what kind of sex he ought to be having?

While a far more moral view, the inherent problem is that in saying that God accepts homosexuality is that the Bible quite clearly says he doesn't.
God changing his mind= God being wrong= God not being perfect= God not being God= God doesn't exist.well i personally would like to think that God, who's ever so loving, loves everyone equally and has a purpose of everyone
i mean come on, who are we to decide wether or not God hates gays?
maybe the bible says so but still.. maybe God changed his mind? lol
i dont know, i just personally love everyone even gays
i just hate terrorists ..
killing people is not acceptable, and i dont care if any holy scripture says it is.
