  • So that minister is reading the Bible incorrectly, but you have it right? Interesting.

    And all of those Christians in the past that used it to justify segregation, they also read it wrong?

  • Yep, that drag queen thing is clearly inappropriate for elementary school kids. But that story does not mean homosexuality is a sin or that transgenders are the work if the devil.

    But then again I'm influenced by the devil, so who knows!

    People have done bad things and tried to use the bible to justify their actions . Sure, scriptures can be twisted. But on the issue of homosexuality the bible is clear that it is a sin condemned in both the old and new covenant as well as the Apostle Paul specifically calling out this sin as one that would keep a person from heaven. Now where does this so called minister saying homosexuality is OK compare with the Apostle Paul? Did he write much of the new testament? Was he beaten many times and left for dead as he preaches the gospel? Was he handpicked by Jesus Himself to be an Apostle? No so any Christian would be wise to go with what Paul says in the New Testament.

    Was the drag queen school official influenced by the devil to perform in front of school age children? I'm guessing yes.

    Or the drag queen is just an asshole. I like to lay blame on people and their behavior as opposed to saying they must have been influenced by fictional characters.

    This doesn't mean everyone who decides to hide a dong under a dress is a horrible person. Just that particular drag queen.

    I disagree Logic but I would agree blaming the devil is no excuse for one's behavior. People don't have to listen and act on those satanic influences. I remember the old comic (before your time probably) Flip Wilson wearing a dress and saying the devil made him do it.It doesn't work that way although it was funny when Flip said about wearing a dress someone told him why don't you tell the devil to "get behind me devil" and he said he did and the devil said it looked good from back there too. 😆

    Hey! Now you're getting it!

    And I suppose that's what you think you're not doing. The people that used it to justify segregation thought the same thing. Thought the Bible was clear on races and their boundaries.

    I also like that you called him a "so called" minister haha. Getting a little defensive, no? This guy is presumably more of a Christian than you, and disagrees with you on interpreting the Bible. Must be rough.

    False teachers and so called ministers have been a problem in the church since the beginning of the church age. Nothing new that today they are still around. It would be rough as you say except the silver lining is what is happening today is exactly as prophesied what would be going on in the last days.

  • 1) Why are you right but he's wrong?

    2) Of course it is. Again, if you're making up a story to control people, of course you have an exit plan in there. Eventually people will become wise to it, so to grab on to this last few believers you just say you "predicted" the "non believers". Say it is the devil or something. It is mind numbingly obvious

    But again, you were born that way. You can't help it. I blame the devil

    It comes down the integrity of the word of God. It doesn't matter to me what people may think about homosexuality being a sin or not what does matter is what God says about it in His word. His word is not like man's word, it doesn't change. "The last few believers" is a common theme all throughout the bible people would stray from God but God always has a remnant. When Elijah complained to God that everyone had fallen away from the true God, God told Elijah there were 7,000 others who had not strayed and gone to worshiping Baal. There is always a remnant. I would like to see a world wide revival where people would draw closer to the Lord but the bible doesn't say that will happen in the end times. In fact much of what is going on today is exactly what God says in His word the world would be like in the end times.

  • Yes, if you squint hard enough I'm sure this looks like the end times.

    And again, it is incredibly predictable for your religion to say people will stop believing in it. The guys that made it up knew people would get what eventually.

    Do you take the Bible at it's word on everything it says?

    There are issues Christians may themselves disagree on but it doesn't matter so much as long as it is not an issue that affects salvation. The things that get you hung up such as me believing the story of Jonah being true versus other Christians who believe the story is an allegory doesn't matter because it is not an issue that affects salvation. Jesus said you must be born again. This is an issue that there can be no disagreement about even among believers because it is an issue that directly relates to salvation. Some believers may believe in a new earth and some don't but these are not issues that affect salvation and people can and do differ.

    BTW- The reason I believe the story of Jonah to be a real story and not a fable is that Jesus used the story of Jonah to illustrate his death and resurrection and I don't think he would have used a fable.

  • You believe it is real, and not a story, because it was referenced by someone in another story?

    Are you a sinner if you wear clothing made of two different materials?

  • I hope you aren't "unclean". God might not like that

    Leviticus 15:19-20New International Version (NIV)

    19 “‘When a woman has her regular flow of blood, the impurity of her monthly period will last seven days, and anyone who touches her will be unclean till evening.

    20 “‘Anything she lies on during her period will be unclean, and anything she sits on will be unclean.

  • Slavery is cool tho, right?

    Leviticus 25:44-46New Living Translation (NLT)

    44 “However, you may purchase male and female slaves from among the nations around you. 45 You may also purchase the children of temporary residents who live among you, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, 46 passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat them as slaves, but you must never treat your fellow Israelites this way.

    Well, this was way before tampons/Kotex, etc. I'm sure it was pretty nasty in them days.
