    I agree 100%. The Bible is too contradictory to be taken seriously.

    I disagree. the bible is nonsense to those without guidance. it was not written to the general world. it was written to ? 's chosen people as instruction. If you not gonna believe it, you don't have to it's not for you.

    But ? hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and ? hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 1 Cor 1:27

    Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, Romans 1:22

    IF you're a Christian, you shouldn't even worry about these jokers with ? marriage or any other evil thing because it was already written about:

    But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; 2 Peter 2:12

    Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Isaiah 5:20

    Woe means destruction BTW.

    Wouldn't even worry about it ? see these jokers coming a mile away.

    The Bible consists of books, and those books were written in eras. not simply the OT and the NT. The era before the Flood, it was ok for a man to marry his sister or close relative without consequence. ? ended that when he brought the Israelites out of Egypt. There was an era when ? allowed men to marry more than one woman and to put away his wife. ? ended divorce when he told the Israelites that if He could not end his covenant with them for their disobedience then neither could they put away their wives. ? ended the era of marrying more than one wife in the NT when he gave the qualifications for church positions such as elders and brothers, pastors and bishops....

    Christians don't have the power to change anything in the Bible, you either follow it and do it or you dont' Simple.

    She ethered you pretty bad actually. The Bible is a badly written form of fiction. ? makes all kinds of rules in the Bible but than breaks those rules with certain prophets and kings. The Bible makes no sense

    what are you even talking about?

    Now if you can explain your original comment, without using circular logic OR...
    Answer the first question I asked you....it would help me understand what the hell you're trying to say here...

    my original comment being
    because something happens in the Bible, doesn't always mean its endorsed by the Bible.

    Adultery, idolitry, boastfulness, being poor stewards of money, etc... are all things that happen in the Bible at some point.

    Just because these things happen in the Bible/? endorses these things, in fact, they are condemned.


    and i also said
    why can't things be endorsed in the Bible?

    things ARE endorsed by the Bible/? . a path towards salvation, Jesus is the heaven sent Son of ? , sin is forgiven, etc....

    now i'm not saying people have to agree with those things, or even believe them. But the fact remains that these are ideals/beliefs that are laid out in the Bible

    According to who? You Matt? Your Preacher? Any Preacher? Or do the writers of the Bible endorse other writers? If so, you're giving the power of right and wrong into the hands of another MAN.

    Who's the authority figure on these things? Let's say the authority is Jesus...

    Jesus didn't speak on Homosexuality at all then. His message was one of acceptance and looking past people's sin. THEN, for whatever reason, Christians nowadays are back to same routine - ESPECIALLY when it comes to homosexuality.

    While I'm far from calling Homosexuality a "sin" I find it ironic that they (Christian religious nutjobs) call on the sympathy of the Bible when they sin. The ol' "All of us fall short", or the "We were born in a sinful nature" or the infamous "The devil is busy right now" routine gets them hand claps from their congregation who simply encourages and prays for them before they go out and do the same ? the next week. But when its a sin they are not partaking in, it becomes the FIRE AND BRIMSTONE message and lack of empathy they ask for themselves. And when confronted by their own hypocrisy - its "well no one said we're perfect". Its a joke!

    No one is out there protesting and marching against divorce lawyers, who destroys families. No one is protesting in front of the casinos and bars where people drink, get ? and spend all their hard earned money. I don't see marches against the porno industry and their websites. I don't see national christian groups creating laws against unwed pregnancies. Nope, their battle is solely against homosexuality. And I find that more than hypocritical in its stance and refuse to participate...

    your refering to the curse of ham and that has been one of the more libeal translations it only says that he saw his fathers nakedness. what the does that mean who knows.
    in the end it was a justification for a bunch of racist ? by racist jew and christians.

    The Curse of Ham was when Noah got salty about being seen naked and it being told to others. First thing wrong with this? Noah was chosen because he was righteous, go figure after the flood dude gets so ? and is naked in his tent. So much for being so righteous right? Why is he naked? Speculation is something was left out, something like Noah being sodomized or ? , or even he was seen banging some other woman than his own wife (? did say to multiply again...)

    Anyways, something was up, no? Dude was ? naked. Maybe he was jacking off to something, who knows. It was obviously something serious because Noah got so mad there was the "Curse of Ham". I wouldn't be mad if I was seen naked but I'd be mad as ? if I was ? by a dude or seen banging someone other than my wife and that was being spread as gossip.

    LOL @ your buttsex alarm going off and you running to this thread, Bible in tow....




    So ALLLLLL these men of ? (including Abraham who spoke directly with ? when it came to killing his Son Isaac) couldn't get a heads up about marriage being 1 man and 1 woman but somehow you can. Is this the special DoUWantToGoToHeaven Translation of the Bible you have where you're getting this info from?



    Your ? seems to be quite angry and envious.....



    ...link...?



    And yet Solomon was deemed the wisest of all, and blessed with the most....
    And yet sinful David's lineage bore the same Christ you serve....
    And yet Abraham had a direct line with ?
    And yet Jacob was one of the most mightest men of ? ....

    Seems like your ? is sending mixed signals.....




    IF my goal was to deceive many, I would not proudly proclaim that I am a CHRISTIAN....I'm just the type of Christian that believes in inclusiveness, and not be a modern day pharisee like you're trying to be....

    **Ooooohhhhh NO SHE DIDN'T**



    I apologize for questioning your faith in ? Edee. That's the last thing I want to do my sister. So forgive me please.

    Now what I must say is that the same ? we worship has clearly told the world that Sodomite relations are an abomination to Him. There is no denying this fact. But also the same ? that we worship states that He hates all sin. The list of sins are too numerous to count because ? is a perfection and anything less than perfection is sin to Him. ? is holy and separate from sinners. He is the light and darkness can not and will not dwell with Him. Such examples are found here, " 8But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." Revelation 21:8

    The thing about sodomite behavior though is that it destroys the natural order put forth by ? in Genesis 1. ? told man to be fruitful and multiply. He did this by presenting man with his help-meet in the first marriage conducted on this earth, which was officiated by ? Himself because He is the great High priest who ever liveth!

    ? put the example of ? and Gomorrah into His word for an example Edee. That we who should live after that example would not engage in such behavior.

    "For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope." Romans 15:4

    There is no hope in ? my sister. It was destroyed for our learning. If people engage in that type of behavior they will have no hope. That's why ? tells us to preach the word in order warn people of the wrath to come, if so be, that they might cling unto the Savior and be saved.

    That's all my sister. I just want to be a preacher of truth and while my tactics are always changing, I will not compromise the whole counsel of ? with my preaching. So if people get offended its not me they are mad at it is ? they are mad at.

    "And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved." Matthew 10:22


    Thus it was written, thus it shall be done. ? bless.

    Wouldn't even worry about it ? see these jokers coming a mile away.

    I agree with you my friend in Christ. Those verses sure do hit the nail on the head. I'm just being led by the spirit of ? and He is leading me to proclaim truth. When there is no truth in the land, the people perish for a lack of knowledge. And we know that the only truth is ? .

    I believe that the body of Christ has become weak because we refuse to proclaim the whole counsel of ? nowadays. Society has demanded that we, the church, operate under the rules of political correctness. And because we, the body of Christ, have joined the world we have given into their demands. We are neither cold, nor hot, but lukewarm. Therefore the Lord will spew those that are out of His mouth and into the Great Tribulation. ? have mercy on me a sinner. I just pray for truth in the land Father ? . I see the spirit of ? in you my friend. May you continue to share the gospel with all. May blessings, peace, joy, mercy, kindness, patience, and love be bestowed upon you abundantly by our ? and Lord Jesus in the name of the Father. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

    Your right Edee. America has waxed fat and we bellow as bulls. The light of the gospel message of Jesus Christ is slowly fading away in America. ? is in the process of putting out the flame here because we have committed adultery and fornicated with everything under the sun. Thus, America is now the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. The body of Christ has lost it's power because we have given our strength unto others by turning our back on the Al-Mighty. We have went from mountain to hill, from a place of exaltation to a place of abasement. ? has. We as the body of Christ have strive against our maker and callled evil good. But before destruction comes those that know the truth must proclaim the WHOLE counsel of ? . That means all sin must be called for what it is, SIN!

    And while I am fallen creature, I have been given new life through the in-dwelling presence of the Holy Spirit. And it's is Him that speaks through me. For I don't want people to see me, but only Jesus Christ And if that is the case I must proclaim what His word says. And yes that includes the lying, the stealing, the abortion, the murder, the drunkards, the perverts, the fornicators, the gluttons, the sorcerers, the swindlers, the slothful, the prideful, the haters, the covetous, etc......

    The whole counsel of ? must be proclaimed because a savior from sin can only be found in Jesus Christ. And when once comes to Him they must come to Him for a reason. For how can the whole be made well if they believe their whole?

    There are a lot of people walking this earth who believe they need no need of the great physician because they don't believe they are sinners. Well I have the word of ? to proclaim in order to convict people of their sins and provide a way of hope for them through sharing the refreshing of Jesus Christ with them.

    "How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?" Romans 10:14

    This is what I was created for. To glorify ? through spreading His word. If you reject it, so be it. For many are called but few are chosen.

    Ok DoU, I take issue with this. America never really had the gospel of the Christ and even if she did, she never put it into practice. Sorry, Pat Robertson and the other devils with him say the same thing, and it is a deceptive game they play to try and hide who and what America really is. Was the fornication, adultery, murder, drunkenness, and perversions going on since the beginning or just recently? Think very carefully my friend. The founding fathers and their people for all of their commitment, wisdom and inspiriation were some drinking, partying, slave-making, murdering, fornicating dudes. Straight up. Not to even think what the Western expansion of the Wild Wild West(No KoolMoe).

    Well in all fairness, they do protest against casinos, abortion clinics, and the porn industry. Why do you make a conscious effort to use red font all the time. Is this symbolic of a 24 hour cycle that you are on hence the rage and high strung steez?

    Yes you are right AndStep. The founding fathers were sinful beings just like we are today. But I do believe that ? inspired the founding fathers to establish a nation that was to be founded upon the principles of Christ. But of course, those same men suffered from the same sin nature which plagues all of humanity. So saying that, I believe that ? set the nation of America up to be a prosperous nation which would share the gospel message of Jesus Christ with the whole world. And this has proven to be true. No other nation has sent as many missionaries out into the world as the United Sates of America has. But to whom much is given, much is required. And with that being the case, we as a nation have corrupted ourselves by fornicating with everything under the sun. And because of our rebellion against ? , we must be punished more severely than any other nation ever has. Which is another reason why I believe America is mystery Babylon. For all of our plagues and judgments will come in 1 hour, for strong is the Lord ? who will judge her.
