By the way Mandy, the authors of my quotes used the KJV while doing their reasearch. mmmm - got another version you want to switch to? On the other hand EVERY SINGLE version of the Bible declares divorce to be a sin NOT ONLY A SIN, but few people today could even be considered divorced by biblical standards. Just imagine how many of them are now living a CONTINUOUS life of sin in adultery. Homosexuals don't live adultery as the church doesn't allow them to be married. They simply love. we would be here all night if we kept this up...divorce is only ok according to the bible is someone was unfaithful but you don't live in adultery anymore if you ask for forgiveness...just read the bible it will tell you what are sins and what aren't but my thing is...you don't have to live with your sin unless you want to....repentance and forgiveness...that's my point |

Actually 98% of Bible Scholars would disagree with you. These would be the people who have a strong love for Christ, and actually can do little tricks like read the languages the Bible (not the King James version) were written in. See, that kinda muddies up that argument. but that's the thing...you said they study all but the king james version which is the most correct english version of the bible and the only version my church would ever use Actuallllllly.... Incorrecto! The KJV is actually one of the least accurate versions, and this aint from me, this is coming from virutally every Seminary and Theological school, which by the way use The new Revised Standard Version. There was teeeeeny little problem with not really having many original Greek or Hebrew manuscripts when it was translated into (Old) English in the 1600s. But that's really not relevant I guess. you're right...the kjv isn't going to be word for word what the hebrew bible said...you can't totally translate one language to another because in some languages they don't have the wording to match but the story is still there...the main question of the thread was...is being gay a sin and unless you're religious then you don't believe in sin so it's a religious question and i answered it with a religiously correct response...according to the bible it is a sin all the way back to the first book of the bible...God doesn't hate sinners, he hates the sin so to keep us close to him he tries to turn us away from sin and that's what i was saying about the hollywood question...i never said he'd turn his back on them like someone who wanted to twist my words said....even in Sodom and Gomorrah he asked them more then once to stop what they were doing and they didn't...there are consequences for all our acts and that was theirs...i'm not better then anyone, i sin too...all i'm saying is that if you believe in the word then no matter what you do you can always ask for forgiveness and you will get it because God loves us all |

FAITH IS KEY! But still GOD is a LIE! Think about it has he answered any of ur prayers? many many prayers of mine have been answered and if they weren't then it wasn't in God's plan for me...the thing is why would God answer the prayer of someone who doesn't believe in him...so are you really praying or just wishing for things...you say God is a lie so you must be wishing and not praying and that's why you aren't getting answered |

If Jesus were to show up tonight at 9:45PM at the Greyhound station in Hollywood do you think he'd preach that gay people are evil and deserve to die? he would preach that their sins would make them die spiritually and ask them to turn away from them And exactly where do you get this from??? I am an atheist and know more about the bible than you do. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God! All!! Catch that?? You are no better than gay people lady and you better get that through your thick head! Hold on... Let's not get personal... I'm asking a sincere question... It's called leading... That was simply question one. OK, question two (because believe it or not, I happen to be a Bible scholar from waaaaaay back in the day....). When and where did Jesus make any such statement that would condemn homosexuality, or even vaguely hint that homosexuals were sinners? it is in Genesis chapter 19...Sodom and Gomorrah but i don't know why the atheist that's knows more then me couldn't answer that for you |

I am an atheist and know more about the bible than you do. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God! All!! Catch that?? You are no better than gay people lady and you better get that through your thick head! This is true but look at the question that was asked. I was responding specifically to her statement. That God would turn his back on them. There are many Christians that are gay. It is my understanding in the bible that heaven is waiting for those that put faith in Christ, regardless of their transgressions. i never said he would turn his back on them...those are your words...i said he'd ask them to turn away from their sins so they could be with him in heaven...don't twist my words |

wasn't trying to be harsh or judge her personally i don't even know her...i was answering your question and explaining why it's important to look for your purpose and yes she's right it will be stressful and that's why i gave you an example of Jesus and his purpose and how stressful it must have been...i don't claim to have the authority to personally judge someone only God can do that but i believe what's in the bible to be true and with that i used Jesus as an example for your question

No its my personal belief... Why does it offend you? BTW- Tell god I said hi, since you claim to be in personal contact with him/her, and can speak for him/her anyone that prays is in personal contact with God and i only speak the word(bible) which is what all christians are supposed to do...we're here to spread the word |

TLW, You can be that simplistic, becaue you may never see, know or understand your purpose, but I have no doubt that you will fulfill it. Some are destined to meet need on a huge scale, without noticing they did it one single person at a time. Personally I don't think you should 'look' for your purpose because it may cause you stress, thinking you are far from succeeding when, in fact, you are have been on the right path all along. Example: When Mother Theresa felt it necessary to follow a path, you don't really think she expected it to lead into all the places she was, do you? I think you have been and will continue to be a great influence in many lives, and all you need do, is continue to DO what you feel is right to do. It is that simple and what make you worthy is that every you are are determined all over again to DO what you feel is right to Do that day. why in the world would you tell someone not to look for their purpose in life or that it would be stressful? do you expect it just to walk up and hit you in the head? faith without works is dead...we all have a purpose and if you want to fufill that purpose then you need to figure out what it is...some people know it as a calling and in christianity a calling is never easy, it's usually quite stressful because of people wanting to condem us for our beliefs...look at Jesus, do you think his purpose as our savior was easy? but if he didn't fufill his purpose none of us would go to heaven...think about that |
