    Bible as literature

    No, Europe is no longer Christian, if it ever was. Roman Catholicism is not necessarily Christian as Roman Catholicism has always accomodated non-Christian behaviours. That is defamatory of Christianity. I strongly suspect you don't even understand true Christian values; and are confusing deism...

    Bible as literature

    There's no such thing as a Christian culture. Society must be near 100% Christian for it to be so. If there was it died out some centuries ago. Christianity is a faith, not a culture. There is such a thing as a tolerance culture which allows Christianity to flourish, but in this age, it is...

    Bible as literature

    We can deny a secular state to be a christian culture. The promotion of any religion not of the Christian God is no part of a genuine Christian culture. A world governed by atheism and by sin encroaches on everyone's life. Satan knocks on everyone's door by the State insistence and permission...

    Denomination chart

    This seems to be a good chart relating to protestant denominations, although not all protestant denominations are worthy of the name "protestant."

    Why I'm 'Christian'

    You misread the apostle. He did not infer the law is a curse, but that to pretend to rely on the works of the law for justification is a curse, because he reasons, the law cannot be completely obeyed. You will always fail to obey it. So the curse comes from the observation that it is impossible...

    What is immoral about casual and friendly sex between adults?

    Yours are the strawmen. The bible doesn't "own" any word. Belief does not have authority over one who does not believe. That is accepted logic, and accepted in the bible. The only thing that has authority is law. The only question is "which law" does one own? Clearly you along with many others...

    WE (I) BELIEVE IN THE FATHER, SON, AND HOLY.

    Jesus did not establish the Pope as head of his church. He did not withhold the keys from the other apostles. Peter was also a man who died. There were eleven other apostles. Protestants do not protest against God, but justify their protests by reference to scripture. Your doctrine seems...

    WE (I) BELIEVE IN THE FATHER, SON, AND HOLY.

    I really don't understand you. Son infers son of man, as well as son of God. The two are counterparts, different sides of the same coin. You can't have one without the other.

    Qatari sociologist blames plastic surgery, blasphemy, homosexuals for Beirut blast in expletive-fill

    No. Actually it works both ways. Each accuses the other of being beholden to oligarchs. Warren Buffett is definitely a democrat, Bill Gates is anti-Trump, Jack Dorsey is a democrat. etc. Zuckerberg has sharply criticized President Trump's immigration policies. From Are the wealthiest...

    WE (I) BELIEVE IN THE FATHER, SON, AND HOLY.

    Verse 8 & 17 associates the "first and the last" with The Lord God and with Jesus Christ. The son denotes the man, always. Only be extension is what is in heaven denoted by "son." In Heb "son" is introduced by "in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son." That is the man Jesus. So...

    What is immoral about casual and friendly sex between adults?

    Again no evidence of that. No evidence of anything from you, is there?

    What is immoral about casual and friendly sex between adults?

    Let me repeat myself. Sin is relative to law. The bible can lay claim to sin contextual to biblical law. When the bible talks about sin, it is also talking about law. Law has been acknowledged in every society. It was present in paradise in the garden of Eden. Therefore "sin" is an irrelevance...

    What is immoral about casual and friendly sex between adults?

    The victory is ours, not yours. The only question is when you will learn it.

    What is immoral about casual and friendly sex between adults?

    No point in debating the bible with one whom is neither logical nor knowledgable (cf. pearls and pigs).

    What is immoral about casual and friendly sex between adults?

    Your claim of "non-application" cannot be proven until you'll dead. It is a fraud on your part to pretend that it can. (It's not a matter of threats but of logic.)

    What is immoral about casual and friendly sex between adults?

    Obviously you have difficulty with comprehension. I said sin relates to the concept of law. Nothing in your link disavowed it. Whether Norse law, or biblical law, the concept of sin relates to the law it is taken from.

    What is immoral about casual and friendly sex between adults?

    Sin is consequential to law, so if one refuses to recognize law, one will not recognize sin. Yet conversely the bible must own the word sin as it relates to biblical law. Romans 7:7 "I would not have come to know sin except through the Law." Say that when you're dead and we'll believe you.

    What is immoral about casual and friendly sex between adults?

    This is really a thread about atheistic behaviours, which is why it isn't a religious topic.

    Religious debate/topic? Surely in the wrong forum.

    Is the Christian God the same as the Jewish God?

    Romans 1:18 "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth...." Nothing in Christianity to say that God's continuing love is unconditional. 2 Tim 2:12 "if we suffer, we shall also reign with Him...
