@TitusTwoWife, @Jericho; neither of you are answering the OP question. All you're doing is restating the evolution of the prohibition against "extra marital sex" not found in Scripture. Again, Paul admits his words regarding "sexual immorality" is NOT from God.

How cute, he goes right to Ad Homenim. In that other thread @Armour of God frames the position as loving your neighbor enough to protect them from invading hordes of murderers, rapists, and enslavers. To claim this is beneath the Christian ethic is to deny the nature of the warrior God who...

Strawman. The argument is not for adultery but condoning prostitution ... It is difficult then, based on the New Testament, to reduce sexual immorality to fornication.

None of what you posted is true. A good man should be respected, not because he is nice, but because he is peaceful. Being peaceful is a choice to restrain his capacity to kill you. This is far different from harmless, which lacks violent capacity AND the necessity to be respected. This is why...

Jesus is silent on the matter. The prohibition is adultery, having sex with a married person, which is different from the evolution condemning "extra marital sex." Let's examine 3 verses: Genesis 38:11-30. Judah having with Tamar, his daughter-in-law, dressed as a prostitute Judges 16:1 Samson...

Interesting. Seems some where along the line, preaching the Good News became only the first step. Now that people are converted, they need a priest for regular discipleship. Ever see the movie, Martin, The Greatest Revolution? There was a scene when the leader of the monk‘s asked Martin if he...

I just started reading The Island of Doctor Moreau by HG Wells. It's controversial in that it involves human-animal hybrids.

Thats where you are mistaken … about a great many things. Imagine how morally bankrupt your ideology has to be to hold up as your ultimate model of pacifism the guy who will kill more people than anyone in human history? I feel embarrassed for you!

Chris, That sounds like a good bye. I hope it’s not. I hope you continue to make positive contributions to our rich forum - even if you don’t ever embrace the Baptist Convention of 1878. hmn You are loved by people here, not because you are good, but because God is good. Peter

I look forward to the pacifists rationalizing this one away.

So, this deal doesn’t change the status quo in your opinion?

The border is secure, which helps millions of Americans and prevents Americans from getting raped and murdered.

This is perfect for it addresses their own claims of moral superiority.

Half a Millenia ago, our Christian ancestors were smart enough to know Christian enemies of this world had to be militarily conquered. Today’s pacifists have rejected ancient wisdom for foolishness, their own demise.

No, you are not just asking a question, you are igniting mine.

Moving the Goal post. Ever seen thermite in use? Not explosive but like a quickly burning candle. Your reasoning is to ignore the direct evidence (presence of thermite and melted steel) and base everything on what people heard or didn’t hear. Odd.

True. Explosives used in demolitions include thermite, that burns hot enough to melt steel. Why else were these 2 things found in the rubble?

Yabut computer simulations … (that make weight 2x and column strength .17x)

I agree with this decision. We have freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM religion.

There was a man (M1) on a ledge of a 10-story building ready to jump to his death when a second man (M2) opened a nearby window to talk him out of it. M2. What are you doing on the ledge young man? M1. It’s a cruel, cruel world and I can’t take it anymore. M2. What do you mean? You have so...
