It is not a matter of vote about what the bible says.
If the bible says it is wrong, then as far as I'm concerned it is wrong.
But for homosexual activities long before I knew what the bible says or does not say about that I believed it was wrong because it is so very repugnant.
I know nice people who are gay and I like them but not what they sexually do.
arcura:
I don't know that personal taste should be a factor in predetermining right and wrong. I have always believed that grapefruit are repugnant. Should I preform an idea of what God thinks about grapefruit based on that?
In any case, can we all agree that grapefruit are an affront to God?
Argument's rage constantly throughout the church. The church has proven itself to not be totally accurate throughout the ages. The crusades are a good example. Most of the doctrinal problems in the church of Jesus Christ have come about because man has tried to inject his laws and rules into the word. Does not work that way. If man would live by the word of God, thinking of the Bible as an operators manual for us, things would not be where they are today. And many of the problems throughout history would likely never have occurred.Quote:

Homosexual acts are sinful.

The church has proven itself??? Isn't that like letting the fox guard the hen house?
cozyk,
No it is not.
The Church is full of human beings who make mistakes.
Jesus knew that when He established Hid Church, but He went right ahead and did it anyway.
I think Jesus knew what He was doing.
If I was as wise as God I would know the answer of why Jesus did as He did.
But, obviously, I am not.
Peace and kindness,

My opinion, whether on the Christian board or somewhere else is just that. An opinion directed towards that which the OP originally asked should only appear on this board if it supports Christianity?
That's the point of answering with opinions. If you can answer without your own opinions entering into your thoughts, including how you feel about the validity of the bible, let's hear it.
Correct.Quote:

That is why the moderators decided that atheists and anti-Christians who want to debate Christianity are now supposed to do so in the Religious discussion forum. So that those who want Christian answers may obtain them here in peace.
This board is for Christians and people seeking Christian answers. The board moderators have decided that those who wish to challenge Christianity may do so on the Religious discussion board.
De Maria,
I'm very glad that the moderators did that.
Peace and kindness,

Most discussions start crossing lines by page 8 or 9 normally.
But yes, anti christian posts on the christian board, anti muslim posts on the Islam board,
It is no difference than perhaps someone going on the legal board and giving totally wrong advice, If someone is asking about a christian opinion, then a Islam opinion is not correct there. And so on.
Maybe you should have a stickie saying "Christians only, no one else is welcome or wanted!"
Sorry they tried that with water fountains, way back in the day!
Curious? If everybody believes the same and thinks the same what is the point and how do we learn other possibilities? It would just be a board of christians slapping each other on the back saying, yep, yep, me too, yep, yep. If you believe something very strongly in your heart and soul, then any opposition would be welcome. I invite people to poke holes in my beliefs. It makes me really examine and possibly incorporate some new ideas.
Sorry but the Christianity board was so bad, non christians and others wanting nothing but to attack christians ( trolls) did nothing but attack any question or post of a christian giving a answer. A board was set up for a more free exchange but even there, limits still exist.
If you go to the legal board you expect a answer that deals with the legal part of a question, not a moral rant, and if you start a moral rant there, it is deleted.
If you go to the auto board, a poster who rants on the evil of gasoline engires would be soon banned.
A person who asked about this or that view point from a christian, gets the same respect and same protection to get just that.
If you hadn't noticed, this isn't a debate board, but an information board. People come here expecting to get answers in any number of subjects. This is the Christian section of that board and people who post their questions here are expecting Christian answers. Not anti-Christian answers.Quote:
