Projecting. ”Biblical” and the criteria you came up with is not the same. All squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares. No, it’s a Strawman. Don’t blame me if you don’t understand the OP.

Slavery is not inherently immoral. That is just your morality that you’re trying to impose on your maker. Historically, slavery was considered a mercy rather than slaughter those on the losing side of a battle. FYI, it wasn’t morality after 1,000’s of years but economics after the Industrial...

Strawman argument. Nowhere in the OP is that the point of discussion. If you want to limit the discussion to “a lifestyle that fundamentally meets the holiness to be a follower of Christ,“ feel free to start such a thread. Anyone with a rudimentary understanding of reading and logic can tell...

Yea, I don’t speak KJV.

Of course there’s a distinction! A prostitute doesn’t do it for free, to satisfy her sexual needs.

I see you are still sitting in the judgment seat of your Creator. :( And you have no understanding of God’s word. The OT gives us the law which only has meaning when consequences for violating it exist. The NT is the life preserver thrown our way to transcend the law (meaning it’s divine...

I know you are desperately hoping something will stick if you throw enough verses at the wall. This verse prohibits a priests daughter from - not prostitution - but from being a whore. Not quite the question I asked, is it? I asked if there is a single verse that morally condemns prostitution...

I’d love it if she joined and explained her rationale as to why a non-believer should avoid believers? I can understand the reverse, for light has nothing in common with darkness. That is why you fail. You fail to grasp Jeremiah 29:13. I’ve told you this before. Only when you embrace the Sh’ma...

The question was which of the 10 Commandments you object to, not trivia. What do you mean by this characterization? And you find our Creator commanding how we prioritize our God in our life morally objectionable? To be honest, 2 years before I came to Christ, I recall objecting to these ego...

I’ve heard from several sources the experience is like watching a movie of your life played at fast speed. In other words, your own memory convicts or acquits you. A pastor commented that our choices mark our soul so that our guilt or innocence is there for all to see, much like a person who...

Agreed, but we’re not talking about marriage in this thread but how the Bible condones prostitution. And I just thought o another way the Bible condones prostitution; Is there a single verse in all of the Bible were prostitutes are morally condemned?

How many drinks of wine can one have before it becomes sinful?

For the same reason it is OK to drink but not be a drunkard.

One thing has nothing to do with the other thing.

So said 100's of martyrs through thousands of years NEVER.

Special thanks to @CrowCross and @shepherdsword for thoughtfully addressing @Mancunian’s doubts based geological evidence.

I know relying on a strong oral tradition goes against our way of thinking today to record with 30 pics going to the restroom at a restaurant. Consider how many centuries The Illiad was preserved by oral tradition before being put in written form? It goes to show the way ancient man passed...

Yup, you got that right. The resurrection of Jesus the Anointed is the most important event in human history. Regarding small detail differences, see AI post above. The Gospels don’t contradict on the main point That All the Gospels proclaim Jesus is God’s Anointed. Matthew 1:1 (VOICE) This...

Which of the 10 Commandments do you morally object to?

I’m glad we got to your main reason for not believing. tsml I believe it was in The Case for Christ where the investigative reporter interviewed police detectives about witnesses whose testimony don’t match on every detail. They said this happens all the time. And the only time the stories...
