Yes
Oh how I love the Word of God!
You have nothing to back up your claim that people are born gay.Right. And neither are some people born with black skin. It "becomes" black later.

The scriptures are clear, you just cannot see. It has not been given to you.Out of context, you can make them mean that. But out of context often changes the intended meaning.
Flimsy excuse/justification. "I'm right -- you're wrong (because you're [obviously] blind)" isn't a valid argument. Your argument cannot stand or fall on my qualifications. It has to stand on its own merits with its own factual support. Have you any?The scriptures are clear, you just cannot see. It has not been given to you.

I am glad that you will answer the questions, even if I have to wait a couple of days. You might find them simple enough to answer quickly.
Remember, you said Jesus is not God, so then, you must then teach that God and Jesus are not interchangeable. So then, make sure you only give one person for each answer.
Who will we bow to, God or Jesus?
I know who bowed down to the saints.
(Rev 3:9 KJV) Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship-bow before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
Does that count and are the saints interchangeable with God and Jesus? Do you think being bowed to makes you God or Jesus? Evidently Rev 3:9 indicates it does not.
Have you overlooked Rev 3:9 in your quest and test to prove your trinity doctrine?
Who is the light, God or Jesus?
Through who was everything made, through God or Jesus?
Who is the First and the Last, God or Jesus?
Is God our Savior, or is Jesus our Savior?
Who is our Redeemer, God or Jesus?
Who is the Shepherd, God or Jesus?
Who is our Rock, God or Jesus?
Whose commands are they, God's, or Jesus'?
Who sends the Holy Spirit, God, or Jesus?
Who pours out the Holy Spirit, God, or Jesus?

I don't care what people do in their bedrooms. I don't want to know about it. I don't want my kids to know about it. I don't want people telling my children its an acceptable way of life. It isn't.You know what, people just are who they are and they should be accepted for who they are. Not "Being born gay" shouldn't be used as a reason for not accepting them as they are. I happen to think that at least some are born with that orientation. I've known too many who say, "I've always felt this way." I know that even I, as a heterosexual, have always felt attracted to girls/women. It didn't "dawn on me" all of a sudden at some point. Whether or not people are "born gay," I think that, at the very least, one's orientation is developed at a very young age. Nonetheless, the scientific community has determined that a homosexual orientation is natural and healthy. So I accept people as they are, without poking my nose into their bedrooms.
Show the genetic evidence.That contradicts what science tells us. People are born gay. There is evidence of genetic differences.
So... you don't want people telling your kids the truth. You'd rather perpetuate your own bigotry.I don't care what people do in their bedrooms. I don't want to know about it. I don't want my kids to know about it. I don't want people telling my children its an acceptable way of life. It isn't.
No, I'm suggesting that the Holy Spirit is "like" another person in that He exhibits and disseminates certain attributes of God that we often distinguish and separate from God's other attributes. And in the same sense, I am suggesting that Jesus is like another person as He exhibits and disseminates other attributes of God that pertain only to Himself.
One could say "Oh Holy Spirit come into my life." Similarly, one could say, Oh God let thy spirit come into my life. There is no difference between God's Spirit, and the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a personification of the attributes of God that are bounded up in the term that is being used.
I believe "and" does not mean "equal" but in many cases means "also." In order to equate the two one must have other evidence. However I do not believe the power of God is something separate from God as though it had an existence of its own any more than the wisdom of God has any existence on its own. I believe that is personifying aspects of God which has no evidence to support it.Right, it is the wisdom and power of God. I lke in Luke when Gabriel is taking to Mary. "And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God."
It is strange that supporters of the trinity ignore the elephant in Mathew 28:19 -- What is the name of the Holy Spirit?
I mean, how can you baptize a Christian in the name of the Holy Spirit if his name is not mentioned? Furthermore, most Christians are not baptized in the name of the Father. Maybe because the name of the Father is not even mentioned in the New Testament.
Clearly the verse at Matthew 28:19 was inserted about a hundred years later (2nd century AD) to support he trinity doctrine and thus it was forced upon Christians who had disagreed.
i believe you can call it bigotry if you want but I call it the law of God. So basicly if I must be a bigot at least I am a righteous bigot instead of a wicked and evil perpetuator.So... you don't want people telling your kids the truth. You'd rather perpetuate your own bigotry.
Good point. It's like saying, is the sun's rays equal to the sun..... Are the sun's rays actually the sun it's self? No, of course not. There is the sun and omits it's power through the rays of light. lol I think I said that right... :>) And that's what I believe in when I read about the Holy Spirit or the Spirit of God. It can sometimes be personified, like other things like, wisdom, sin, etc. The cedar trees of Lebanon cry out, where are the axe men to cut us down? Can trees really talk? Nope. So we need to be careful on the language of the bible and try to understand context. But your post was good, thank you.I believe "and" does not mean "equal" but in many cases means "also." In order to equate the two one must have other evidence. However I do not believe the power of God is something separate from God as though it had an existence of its own any more than the wisdom of God has any existence on its own.

Bigotry is bigotry and it's always evil. There is no such thing as "righteous bigotry." God's law is inclusive -- not exclusive. You are telling the truth according to what you wish to understand -- not according to some objective standard.i believe you can call it bigotry if you want but I call it the law of God. So basicly if I must be a bigot at least I am a righteous bigot instead of a wicked and evil perpetuator.
I believe I always tell the truth according to God's will.
My children are very well aware of the depraved behaviors that some individuals engage in. Yet they are just as aware of the necessity of being kind, even to the depraved.So... you don't want people telling your kids the truth. You'd rather perpetuate your own bigotry.
Bigotry is never kind.My children are very well aware of the depraved behaviors that some individuals engage in. Yet they are just as aware of the necessity of being kind, even to the depraved.
Well then, get used to it. I'm not changing my opinions for you or anyone else.Bigotry is never kind.
