The Christian belief is generally in the bible, in God and in Jesus.
Everything else is gravy.
If you want someone to tell you what is and what is not, then I can't help you.
Hell was, according to the bible, created for the rebellious angels.
And no, death does not mean hell nor hell mean death. As to whether God created death, I don't know. I imagine so, though as far as I'm aware the bible doesn't seem to attribute it to Him specifically.
If you think about it...
It's cool, it turns me off too. Actually it goes a little further than that, it kind of makes me mad. Which is strange, because not much bothers me. And I don't understand why either. The sad thing about prejudice is that even when you realize you are prejudiced it doesn't really change...
Um, I don't really want to get in to the intricasies of sex with a transexual... But yes they can have sex, just like homosexuals can have sex but if you're not into that then it becomes an issue. And it's not transphobic, it's just preference. Some people just don't like that kind of thing, and...
Leaving sexual preferences aside, Women have a right to reject a man that cannot fulfill certain desires. Like having a penis to give them biological children, or sexual intercourse. It's not evil to want those things Saint. Most heterosexual people consider it a given.
Honestly I'd be...
How in the world is that transphobic or bigoted? If you don't like penises, you don't like penises.
It's just preference. Some people just prefer their women to have an actual vagina. Or they prefer them to be blonde. Or tall.
I think these SJWs just need to take a break once in a while, the...
Sixteen.
Which is the age of consent where I live anyway. Not that age of consent makes any difference to teenagers themselves whatsoever. So really it's only aimed at and required of adults, So yeah sixteen.
Would you still be considered Christian? Yes.
Would you still be considered Orthodox? Probably not. But then they're the ones who draw the line on that, so if you don't live up to their standards then you can't genuinely claim the label. But does it really matter? Do you need to be defined as...
Well the same people who found that Theists are stupid also found that Atheists are psychopaths. And since you're clearly all about hard truths, I figured you'd want to know.
Oh how interesting that this was in the article, yet no one has mentioned it....
"Atheists, the researchers found, are most closely aligned with psychopaths--not killers, but the vast majority of psychopaths classified as such due to their lack of empathy for others."
I actually read the...
The value of death. You value it based on it being the end of what you are, but if God existed life and death are basically a blip on the radar. So even if God kills us or sanctions our deaths if we break His laws, what does it matter? How is that evidence that He's not a good parent? If you get...
No, I was just pointing out your generalisation. Making the world a better place and all that.
And you're happy enough to go with hypotheticals about God's existence, But you're not willing to acknowledge that if God existed death wouldn't mean much. So all the verses you provided as evidence...
I think our relationship with God is more complicated than that. In some ways it is of that of a parent and child, in others it's more of a master and slave. Sometimes it's of a wife and husband. It's not one thing, as very few relationships are just one thing.
Now you're just being idealistic...
Yeah, The 7th season was really.. I don't know it's like Joss Whedon just decided to mess with the whole Buffy Universe, Like he was trying to push two different genres together (Post-apocolyptic and Urban Fantasy). I loved Buffy so much I followed the comics for a while (Season 8) and you would...
Dunno.
Cain went off and got married, I always assumed that meant that Adam and Eve weren't alone. Although other people assume that He went off and married some neice or grand-neice or something. Who knows.
And Adam and Eve ate from the tree, After that they were on their own. So yeah, they...
I don't really think about it.
God is still guiding me through this life, And I'm still stumbling every few steps, so I don't see the value in pondering the next one as of yet.
And I don't think waving around a pleasant afterlife as a possible prize for belief in God is going to persuade anyone...
The first Christians according to the Church were Jesus and His disciples, But they weren't Christians they were Jews. And the people after them were Jews. And they never called themselves Christians, They called themselves followers of the way.
