I Support Gay Marriage [Gay Marriage]

@RemovedUser607094 None of that means anything unless you have a real source for it, which I highly doubt.

Fuck, I actually read this, Reported.

@RemovedUser607094 Tt would be normal practice to cite your source, not only for the readers of your repeat, but out of courtesy to the authors of what could if nothing else be copyrighted material.

@walabby I agree with you. As I said, I hate religion. But I'm very very interested in a divine person that I can know. I suggest we stop this brief debate here. My lifelong personal experience has proved to me that God exists and that the Judeo-Christian scriptures give a lot of information about him. I would prefer that you didn't deny my experience on my behalf, or that you didn't belittle it. My recommendation to you is, say to God, look here mate, many people say you exist. I don't believe that. But I'm open to persuasion. If you exist, show me. - That act on your part would be a serious proof of integrity. And you never know what it might bring forth. All the best to you! Nice to chat.

@lyle687276 Scary!

@walabby Look up "Chrestianity"
It was a competing Religion for Jews at that time! Even before Christ appeared!!
Many Chrestian ideas are folded in Christian teachings. Dig around, it's interesting.

It's like the 2 Religious Entities melded together in some areas during that time and chose to link to Christ for Popularity's sake.

@WalterF....You refer to God, if I am not mistaken, as a “thing that KILLS and always has done” am I right? If so, I’d like to address that.

There’s another side to that. It is BECAUSE there is a hell, that Jesus suffered and endured all that He did on the cross...in order that through Him, we could be saved...and our sins which separate us from God the Father, PAID. Jesus did that for everyone’s benefit. Or would we rather the alternative? God is fair...Sin, is not!

David simply says in the Psalms, "and he judges the world with righteousness; he judges the peoples with uprightness" (Psalm 9:8).

Was it “fair” that Jesus had to suffer and die in order to pay for your sins on the cross? Indeed, for us all? Was it fair that He took your place and mine on the cross, when it is He who knew no sin? That should tell you, alone, just how much Jesus loves you. He laid down His very life, to save yours. That certainly doesn’t describe a God who is out to destroy people. He is not willing that ANY should perish.

The fact is, there is a way to escape hell and the sin that brings judgment upon us. God is indeed just, but He is also love, and in His love He took our sins upon Himself at the cross. Christ paid the judgment in full so that we don't have to face hell. Paul writes, "but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by His blood, much more shall we be saved by Him." (Romans 5:8–9).

On an American troopship, the soldiers crowded around their chaplain, asking, "Do you believe in hell?" "I do not", replied the chaplain. "Well, then, will you please resign, for if there is no hell, we do not need you, and if there is a hell, we do not wish to be led astray."

If there is no hell, then there is no need for a cross or a Savior. But hell is very real, and as Christian author Os Guinness says, "For some, Hell is simply a truth realized too late." It is a sobering fact that those who choose to reject Jesus in this life will have their request honored in the next by a loving God who will indeed acquiesce to their wishes and send them to the choice they themselves have made.

@SW-User I really appreciate your enthusiasm about life and Spanking, Emily. I know you said that you do not send pictures, but even a very nice one of you i would so lije to see. But just tell me it is not possible if that is the case.

@lyle687276 sorry sir, not possible

Really??? You’re very obvious. @lyle687276

@lyle687276 You just quoted the Bible to show that the Bible is accurate! :D
You believe what you want... :)

[@
Do you believe in an afterlife?

@lyle687276 So how are you going to explain yourself to Odin when you meet Him at the Doors to Valhalla? You better start getting your story ready.

And don’t forget fetish spankings, as an excuse to see children naked, which is abusive as well. I think pedophiles deserve hard punishment/prison time, too. A good, long time.

God does not categorize sin. One sin to Him, is no worse than another sin, because all sin separates us from God, per His Word. His Word says so. @preacherman

@preacherman Don't forget that God in his wisdom made approximately 2 1/2 % of all humans hard core gay, about the same amount of left handed people, and we've only stopped persecuting people for that in the last few decades...

@lyle687276 I am not easily insulted by mere words, so as long as it is respectful, then yes..I can I have a discussion without getting offended/insulted.

As for reading it "next time" with open eyes? I doubt that'll happen. I've read it enough times already, thanks. Both while going to church and being raised in the different denominations, as well as reading it a couple times since leaving "the faith." I think I'm good.
It's a fun story and all, what with the death and zombies and all that, but definitely not a favorite..and a bit tough to read after the first time 🤷🏼‍♀️

@northerncountrygirl2000 so you don't think that you might have a personal sin problem with God? What about it is so hard to swallow?

No...Not at all.
But, for the sake of this & to give a possibly better answer, what are you considering a "personal sin problem"??

What about what is hard to swallow?? Religion? The Bible? God?
None of it is necessarily "hard to swallow" in any sense. Is it possible that a man named Jesus lived? Sure. Did he turn water to wine? Doubtful.
You talk of prophecies...But, where is the proof it happened? (NOT in the Bible I mean.) You can't use the Bible, to prove the Bible is true. It would be like me using the book Dracula, to prove Dracula is real. Where is the proof outside the book??

Telling you you are ignorant was not meant to be a cut to you sorry

I'm saying find out for yourself! The OT was about creation and the nation of Israel. It also has many prophesies of Jesus that have been fulfilled to the letter. The NT tells of the coming of Christ and about the new covenant God made with man through what He did.

@Piffypie What Jesus do you know? The one I know is pretty clear on doctrine

@lyle687276 Sorry. Not really interested to. But you're certainly free to believe as you choose.

@Ellen please, it's really interesting to me what your reason might be that you have no interest in God

@lyle687276 Not interested in discussing it. That's why I shrugged. Believe what you want. It's fine. I've heard all kinds of reasons why I can't marry my gf. But it's nice now that we can marry if we choose.

@Sharon Lol. My God is your God , too. He loved you enough to send His Son to deal with your sin.

@lyle687276 No, your fake god is nothing to do with me nor I with it.

What sin? As your god doesn't exist it couldn't send anyone to do anything anyway. It's all in your mind.

I'm still waiting to hear how you plan to explain yourself to Odin when you meet Him at the Doors to Valhalla.

@lyle687276 ...but Isiah 45:7 says that He created evil. Is sin not evil?

@Hannahbanana1 It is!!

@lyle687276 Like I said, I checked with Odin, don't worry we are cool. I mean Odin is a god and your guy is a god, so either one works.

@canusernamebemyusername No wanking either, as Onan discovered!
