Alright....this has all gone on long enough. Firstly, I want to say that the over-generalisations by some in this thread are appalling. Since some women are overbearing, bossy, manipulative shrews, it must follow that all women do that to their husbands; that all husbands are boot licking...

And okay! Cases have been presented, refuted and then recycled....for about a year now. No one is learning, nothing is being edifying and it seems to be for no real purpose anymore. Thread locked. And could I please ask all to wait AT LEAST a week before posting another similar topic?? :P

If you'd kept reading before answering, you would have seen that I covered the very clear line between sexual Immorality and homosexuality. Clear line. Made by the bible...not me. As far as your presumptions....this has nothing to do with your or my 'interpretations' of scripture. You do not...

Yeah see....here's the problem you've been having. You leave out God. Completely. And the above abbreviation of your beliefs has just highlighted that. You are simple putting it down to a "it's true or not true for the people involved"...."if it feels good, do it"....kind of mentality, while all...

It's true, much scripture can be up for interpretation...especially if one does not read it properly in light of all other scripture. But on the topic of sexual immorality it is overwhelmingly clear. It is a warning that is repeated again, and again and again. 13 Let us walk properly as in...

Yes, clearly. And that is completely your right...as long as you are not trying to say that your beliefs are based on what the bible tells us. Because what you are saying is opposite to what the bible is saying. It's sorta as clear as you can get actually.

Ummm. Can I just point out that God is incredible exclusive? In the OT he included the Jews but excluded everyone else. Even his inclusion of Israel was based on very strict laws and rules, and we saw that the minute they turned from those things he brought judgement upon them...his own people...

I disagree with your disagreement... :P The comparison between divorce in the church and homosexuals in the Church is a difficult one...for all the different reasons I listed above. To make things more visible, you need to look at the heart. Of the matter and of people. The person who fronts up...

KCKID said: I would say that very few divorces occur on biblical grounds. Therefore, in a huge many cases, divorce would be unbiblical. As for remarriage ...the jury might be out on that one but I maintain that "God" is against remarriage in all cases except where a former spouse is deceased...

It's true there are many divorces in the Church today, but I do wonder if feminism is the highest cause of these divorces. I've wondered about the cause myself, and from what I've observed, I think people are just lazy. Things get hard, so they get out. They, neither of them, seem to understand...

There are biblical grounds for both marriage and divorce...none whatsoever for homosexuality.

Actually, Luther in his early years was full of hope for the Jewish people. He seemed to believe that when faced with Paul's explanation of the good news of Christ and his gospel (Ephesians 2:8-9), that the Jews would swarm to Christ in numbers. It appears as they years went by and the Jewish...

Amen! I find it a teeny, tiny bit frustrating that when we read in Peter of the people mocking the end of the world, of Jesus' second coming...that that mocking is based on all the "Christians"; well meaning or not, who keep on 'predicting' Jesus' return! Every time they do it and are inevitably...

Hey! It's nice to chat with you again....it's been a while! I like that we can discuss and disagree but there is no feeling like I'm fighting for my life!! It's true that your dog will never understand or relate to you on any kind of real level....but you have not written to your dog in his...

Cool, thanks. I thought that's where you were at, but sometimes it helps to check! It's often a worrying trend, I think, between two sort of groups....those who "let go and let God"....and those who "God helps those who help themselves". One absolves us from all responsibility for our actions...

Hey! Sorry to jump in in the middle of your conversation with Willemac, but I just wanted to ask a quick question.... Willemac asked if: "in order to receive eternal life from God, one must work to completely eliminate sin from one's life?" In your answer above do you mean your 'yes' as...

I just found it immensely funny....probably because so many people say things like this....and they are NOT intended tongue in cheek! Cheers for not being one of them! Your welcome! And I must thank you for, even when disagreeing with me, you have simply said as much, and left it at that.

Hey Aspen...how are you going? :) I feel I should probably point out that determining God's will and thoughts on a subject can never be moot! In fact the more we understand God's thoughts and decrees on something, the better we know how we should act on the subject. No...no it doesn't. But we...

I'm sorry... :P ...but you do realise that saying "I'm the most humble and unassuming person I know" sounds a little funny...coming from yourself as it did...! We should never, ever, ignore any phrases from scripture. We need to ask ourselves if what It's saying needs to be read in light of the...

Amen Foreigner. I do wonder sometimes why people insist on basing "love" on human standards. True biblical love MUST be based on God, on his enduring faithful love. If our 'love' is in any way defying God's word, it cannot...in any way...be 'love' that God approves of. Why do some Christians and...
