    Consent?

    When it comes to sexuality, it has been said that there are two basic belief groups. Those who believe that sexuality is a matter of two censenting adults and no more and those who believe that sexuality should be practiced in the bounds of marriage. While there are many disagreements between...

    Morality

    Couldn't agree more, although I am curious as to what you mean by "exception". Alright, here we go with th tricky word play so I better be careful . Now, ofcourse as a Christian Theist I believe that morality has only one origin. My earlier statement was more of a recognition of different...

    Morality

    First off, kudos to Pah for quite the interesting thread. I guess the first question that comes to mind when confronted with this question is whether a morality is absolute if it weren't universal? Then again I guess that depends on what standards one uses to define an absolute morality. If...

    Meds?

    From what I have seen with a brother who has a serious mental disorder to the degree that he has had to have been forcibly institutionalized by a court due to bighting a police officer, there are pro's and con's to this issue. The pro's are the obvious benefits my brother gets from these...

    Condemning homosexuality

    You make an excellent point here that a lot of people who pull that sort of crap don't realize. These people probably think that they are going to reach people like this and are completely ignorant to the fact that it does absolutely no good at all to do stuff like this. An interesting point I...

    Check list for Prayer

    This is a problem I have also had as of late. While I don't see a problem with a prayer checklist, putting too much emphasis on it becomes almost a worship of the checklist for me instead of praying to God. Then again the opposite extreme (overemotionalism) is a problem too. I'ts hard to find a...

    "non-denominational" churches

    Oh wow, I didn't see this coming. I started this one a long time ago. Oh well, that's what I get for not checking up on threads I start. Sincerely, SoliDeoGloria

    DoubleStandard Morals

    Is homosexuality now a race? Boy, I learn something new every day!!! Well, here's your quote again for the third time in this thread. Being as how I was under the impression that we were communicating by using the english language here, please tell me how I have "put words in" your mouth...

    DoubleStandard Morals

    alright lets see how that looks. "We acknowledge that there are those who share something in our plight with us that are suffering horrific crimes against them but our main concern right now is getting married and we're going to pretty much not do anything about those who are suffering" Is it...

    What do you think about TV Evangalists?

    Hank Hanengraaff wrote an excellent book titled "Christianity in Crisis" on this very issue that states how I feel about a vast majority of televangelists bettern than I ever could and I bet if you tried, you might be able to get it for free at http://www.equip.org Sincerely, SoliDeoGloria

    DoubleStandard Morals

    And my point has been that if the U.S. was dominanly Islamic, Jensa would more than likely not be alive to criticise Islam for that. And yet, people traveled all the way to Rome Italy to criticise Christianity. Do you know where all three of these religions originated and two thirds of them...

    DoubleStandard Morals

    Who let the huge rabbit loose in this thread to leave all these trails?! And Mr Spinkles, for being a moderator and to let this happen, for shame!!! I started this thread with the intention of hopefully getting an answer as to why it seems like those who practice homosexuality seem to...

    DoubleStandard Morals

    Well dear, I never stated that "gays aren't really oppressed". As a matter of fact my statement that proves not only that I have a bad habit of not checking my typos mostly due to a lack of time but that I acknowledge that people who practice homosexuality are oppressed and that I don't agree...

    DoubleStandard Morals

    A couple of years ago I read an article about a "Gay Pride" parade in Rome, Italy. Ofcourse the Pope had a major problem with this but the parade went on regardless. The writer of the article made a couple of interesting points. The first point they made was that Christianity is not the only...

    You did it or it did you?

    So what is this "inbetween"? Is this "comparative operative" dependant on when and where one lives? There has been an attempt for a few years to adopt a an idea into linguistic philosophy called Conventionalism. The theory attached to this idea is that all meaning is relative. In other words you...

    HOMOSEXUALITY: What the Bible Does & Does Not Say

    The problem with that logic is that there are two different words here. The Hebrew word for men in this verse is: 582. Xwna 'enowsh, en-oshe'; from 0605; properly, a mortal (and thus differing from the more dignified 0120); hence, a man in general (singly or collectively):--another, ×...

    Are communism, Atheism, & Satanism mutually exclusive?

    You are right about Satanism having certain spiritual beliefs. In that same interview I mentioned in the original post, Anton Levey qualifies that Satanism is a denial of spirituality and embracement of all that is carnal. He also emphasized how in Satanism, one is to give in to every carnal...

    What did it for me [Calvinism]

    That sounds a whole lot more like Hypercalvinism which gets confused quite often with Calvinism, but is truly heresy. Sincerely, SoliDeoGloria

    What did it for me [Calvinism]

    In Clavinism, "a good Christian" who didn't get to go into heaven is an oximoron (or as David Letterman put it "a Jumbo Shrimp). If you can't get into Heaven, then obviously, you weren't a "good Christian" Sincerely, SoliDeoGloria
