    Why the double standard?

    It's been answered incorrectly, there is no Islam and political Islam, all Islam is political, it's a religion designed to be political and the supporting documents are not just the Quran. Unfortunately many Muslims themselves do not understand this because what they are told of Islam only comes...

    A Christian must have a full beard

    That's incredibly convenient, but ironically he's addressing this point to a hall full of students, so what's the difference between sitting with them in this hall or watching it on a screen? nothing apart from the fact you can't ask direct questions. Attacking the source based only on the...

    A Christian must have a full beard

    Fair point, I shouldn't have dismissed it, but it just proves there are exceptions. What's described in that article is not the norm for Christians. However, we see the wreckage from a society with virtually no morals, ethics and taboos every day, it's not going well is it.

    Why the double standard?

    Seriously? you're oblivious to shadow banning and censorship then? I did leave pretty much all social media exactly for the reasons you claim don't exist, such as shadow banning and censorship. There are other reasons, such as data mining and privacy concerns, and the fact that they have...

    A Christian must have a full beard

    As I've said previously, most differences between the vast majority of Christians are minor and most of us agree on the big ticket items. Differences in Baptism and other such things really aren't important, what's most important is that we agree that Christ is our saviour and died on the cross...

    Why the double standard?

    Who writes the algorithms? Democratic/Labour funded and backed organisations, you only have to look at the bias of any 'news' outlet to understand who backs them. Of course this swings both ways, but 'left leaning' organisations are far greater in number and this pretty much covers the majority...

    A Christian must have a full beard

    I'll just wrap this particular claim up here. You appear to think that to be a Christian you need to apply all cultural norms and Old Testament civil and ceremonial law mentioned in the Bible. All you're displaying is a complete ignorance of what the Bible teaches and how Christ fulfilled the...

    Jesus never went to Rome, I think you mean Jerusalem.

    A Christian must have a full beard

    I gave you the link to Voddie Baucham who explains it all. It is not possible that multiple men on 3 different continents from different generations using 3 different languages conspired to provide thousands of virtually exact copies saying the same things. This is before we even get into the...

    A Christian must have a full beard

    To a church in a specific time, a cultural reference not written into the law for Christians, this isn't difficult for most people to understand, it's why it's not followed in Christianity to this day. It's the same reason we don't keep slaves anymore, or did you forget Christians were at the...

    A Christian must have a full beard

    The men who wrote it were divinely inspired, very obviously, Voddie Baucham explains the incredible feat of the Bible just for you, 3 languages, 3 different continents, 40+ authors, decades apart, thousands of copies, barely a typo's difference between all of them. Why you can believe the Bible...

    A Christian must have a full beard

    I know what you claimed, but claiming it doesn't make it so. Well to be a transgression in God's eyes it has to be written in law applicable to Christians, it isn't, I've already explained this point, if you completely ignore what I'm saying then don't bother replying. Again, I've already...

    Some random article on the internet doesn't change what scripture says.

    Christianity doesn't 'sex shame', it just believes in sex within marriage. God did create the orgasm after all.

    A Christian must have a full beard

    Because it is clearly stated doesn't refute that it's a cultural reference, neither does quoting different versions of the Bible. Paul was addressing a Church, so it definitely needs to be seen in the context of the time and culture in that Church. Good, because nowhere in scripture is it...

    A Christian must have a full beard

    I literally have never met a single Christian who is like that, so based on the preposition that anyone can claim anything for an entire group of people on here I can safely say all atheists like to talk about morals but never actually have any, see how that works?

    A Christian must have a full beard

    I know what you're asking, and the real issue here is one of importance and how God would view this. At no point does Paul state that this issue is a sin, it's a cultural reference of the time, whilst also supporting the essential message that men should look like men and women should look like...

    A Christian must have a full beard

    No, you didn't ask me to provide a justification for the rule, you asked for a justification of why the rule could not be followed, and I gave you several, I also stated that Jesus himself justified ignoring a rule, because he did. Are you seriously arguing that your hair falling out is not a...

    A Christian must have a full beard

    Well that depends on the woman doesn't it, she may be undergoing cancer treatment and not have any choice, or she may have a heath and safety reason for her work, or any number of reasons, that's between the women concerned and God. We'll all be judged at the appointed time so we'll all have to...
