It sounds a bit like a cockroach trying to hide from the light. There will be no getting away from that light in the end. If you have a disagreement with God about what is morally right and what isn’t, you really should put the hate, resentment, and tantrum like disbelief away, and do what God tells you. He is right.
The topic was about the conduct of a homosexual. Therefore, there was no compelling need to interject other sins into the discussion.
Typical of homo-facist...
Two Points:
(1) I bet he thinks people who want to censor other pornography or offensive ‘art’ are low brow know nothings.
(2) The decent thing to do on his part would be to simply call room service to come remove the Bible from his room, thats not his property to destroy..
Why not? I was commenting on it. Mainly to say that it gives me the shudders to think that I might be on THE LIST of deadly sins with a butt pirate. Sorry, that really bugs me a lot, no pun intended LOL
Regarding Biblical dietary restrictions and others statutes found in the Old Testament — Christians are not bound to Old Testament authority, only the New Testament. Those Old Testament rules do not apply to you. Any Christian that has grown in knowledge and progressed from “milk” to “meat” should know that.
Don't ask-don't tell almost works; unless one is psychologically driven by pathology.
Now there's a cool entrepeneurial idea!
Rent a Sandmaggot mob from SandMaggots'R'us...
Just thinking.
I heard the cost of a ticket is pretty steep.
Don't ask!
> Christians are not bound to Old Testament authority, only the New Testament.
You are missing my point. If what you say is true (which I do not mean to argue against, as I believe it too,) then why do people argue that the earth was created in 4004BC in six days? Jesus Himself says we should honor the older Scriptures (Matthew 15:1-9) and people quote Leviticus and not Paul when talking about homosexuality.
The point is that 99.9% of people still pick and choose the bits from the Bible that suit them.
Point taken, and I agree about that. The OT still has a valid place in the Bible for Christians, even though the NT has superceded it. Jesus said that he came not to abolish the Law, but to fulfill it. Other scripture says that the Law was nailed to the cross. Paul said the Law was like a schoolmaster, to prepare us for the acceptance of the NT. The OT provides a useful context to show from where Christianity sprang. The OT still provides us with history, poetry, wisdom and morality -- we just aren't technically bound to it, but we have moved on to a new spiritual level with the NT. Regarding the age of the earth -- people have trouble distinguishing between literal versus figurative passages in the Bible. In this particular case, I don't figure that confusion over the earth's age has any bearing on your salvation -- you either trust God and obey, or you don't.
