TexUs is correct.

-- This was Aspen's response to Duck's statement that there is no place worse than hell. An eternity of torment in fire combined with the eternal seperation of God combined with the knowledge that you could have avoided it... ...yet Aspen has to ask how Duck knows there is no place worse...

-- What tripe. The short time it is going to take for God to say to them, "Department from you cursed ones into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels" is going to hurt... but not as bad as burning for all eternity ALONG WITH the memory of that encounter and the realization that...

"I saw that as an example of what "true love" is when one gives their life for another (John 15:13). Rose's fiance did not show that kind of example of how one should "love." His life meant more to him than any other human being. And he love the blue diamond more than his fiance." - Selene --...

Exactly.

Nice bit of hair splitting Templar but if the corpse is in the ground that means that person has died. Thankful, I am sure your wife was visited by something, but the Mother of Jesus it wasn't.

Mcorba, if you have ever asked one of the saints to intercede on your behalf then you have indeed attempted to communicate with the dead.

That is what Catholics are attempting to do every time they pray asking a saint to intercede for them.

"That was just an example." - Selene -- If that was "just an example" then why would you feel the need to even ask me that question in the first place? Again, if questioning the using a man sacrificing his life for a woman that he knew and had sex with after only 72 hours, her being betrothed...

"Do you have a problem sacrificing your life to save your wife or the woman you love? " - Selene -- Of course not. Questioning the use of a two people who were essentially strangers having sex after just three days while one was engaged to someone else as an example of "love conquers all"...

"So you're saying that no-one who is morally imperfect can ever be used as an exemplar of any single idea?" - De - - You felt justified in asking this rather silly blanket assumption question based on a single comment I made about a fictionalized affair. I am not surprised at all that you don't...

Am curious, De. Do you think that the homosexual act is acceptable in God's eyes under any circumstances?

If you wish to make a blanket judgement on a specific topic or discussion based on one specific event, as you are often found to do, then yes.

" hear what you are saying. Just a fast story---I remember being 7 years old, the day before first holy communion....the nun explained how before we can have our first holy communion, we are to give our first confession in the confessional to the priest. I approached the nun privately to ask...

Having spent the first 22 or so years of my life Catholic I have witnessed both the twisted lengths that Catholics will go to in order to justify or give validity to their practices. I have also personally experienced the punishment from within for questioning and refusing to go along blindly...

"Well, the whole point is that several translations don't even necessarily include homosexual behavior as sexual immorality." - De -- Really? Several? Wow. Then it should be easy to provide examples of a number of them. Your reply will of course be "I shouldn't have to do your work for...

Oh please, when will this stop? I capitalize them out of a personal choice of respect, but if you are serving God, winning souls for Him and spreading His word I don't think he is going to feel dissed by you not capitalizing His name. I heard a preacher on TV the other day who said that it...

"like in the hit movie Titanic. Jack gave up his life for Rose when he got her on the debris of the ship." - Selene -- You mean Rose, the woman Jack knew for three days who had sex with him in the storage compartment while her fiance' looked for her? That Jack and Rose?

Just googled "do not be alarmed by the signs of the heavens" and the third option listed involved the scripture. HOWEVER, when I searched using Bing the first three entries covered prophecy and that scripture. I understand the enthusiasm Jawbreaker, but perhaps now is the time to switch to Decaf.

"I have observed that Christians hide behind avatars and are afraid to be identified. It is a very common practice." - Martin W -- You "observed." I actually laughed when I read this. Your observation skills are very limited, it would seem. As I mentioned when you said this before, I...
