Read your Bible.

Its not ok, so stop going around acting like it is and that you got a blessing from Jesus to do so.

Its actually punishable, in the words of your ? .

    Probably for the same reason people do so and don't read the Bible. Who knows though. Then, there are people who use marriage as a "green light".

    Probably because they take most of that stuff as seriously as an atheist does. "Christian" is just a title, it doesn't really mean ? .

    They just ignore the parts of the Christian bible that they don't like or that don't make sense.

    There's a lot of banned ? that's ignored:

    Not to mention the people who should be killed:
    - Homosexuals (Lev.30:13, Rom.1:26-32)
    - Adulterers (Lev.20:10, Deut.22:22)
    - Disobedient Children (Deut.21:20-21, Lev.20:9, Exod.21:15)
    - Women who are not virgins on their wedding night (Deut.22:13-21)
    - All non-Christians (parable told by Christ - Luke 19:27)
    - Those accused of wickedness by at least two people (Deut.17:2-7)
    - Anyone who works on the Sabbath (Exod.35:2-3, Num.15:32-6)

    To ignore is also "bliss":

    Think of it like its insurance.

    They sign on the dotted line just to be "safe". Never read the fine print or any of that. Then when it's time, they mad as ? when they aren't covered talking bout "but Im supposed to be covered"

    Because you're a heathen who doesn't understand the Bible, and they're smart enough to interrupt what the Bible really means.

    The Christians of the IC have a long-standing policy of ignoring anything that really embarrasses their religion.

    Back in the day, they actually begged the admin to create a special subforum for them where atheists would not be allowed to question their beliefs.

    It was fun.




    But threadstarter should consider why religious people think sex should be controlled by the mosque, church, temple, etc.

    Also, swine is just fine. Just cook it. You'll be okay.

    i dont know that it was ethered or disproven or whatever. It was just some verses, mostly old testament that probably dealt with punishment that was applicable at that time, but i certainly don't know enough about it address it in its proper context. so yeah, in that case, it was ethered.

    They use the "we all fall short" line in the Bible even though they're taking it out of context to excuse ? .

    They treat ? like he's literally "their Father...who art in Heaven" or like he's thier boyfriend/girlfriend or something.

    "Im sorry ? ...my bad...and amma be sorry when I ? this ? on Thursday too"

    Assuming Christians consider the Christian bible to be their "? 's word", I see no reason they wouldn't subscribe to the Old Testament's laws/rules.

    Unless, of course, they ignored them out of convenience.

    if they're Christians, not Jews, i don't see why they would follow every last nuance of the Old Testament

    But don't Christians believe the Old Testament is the "word of ? "? If so, do they feel that "? 's word" is not absolute or that "? 's" commandments do not need to be followed?

    If the answers to the above questions are "Yes" and "No", respectively; the only other explanation is that they are simply overlooking or ignoring the parts they don't like.

    Umm.....Christ did in Matthew 5:17-18

    Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.


    Mat 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

    like the whole bible is about people who keep ? up...


    almost everytime the law is laid down, it's because ppl were fuckign up...

    all the instruction in the bible is because people consistantly ? up...

    the entire point of Christ dying is because, we stay ? up....

    the point i'm trying to make is that ? is a forgiving ? .....we're gonna ? up, just ask for forgiveness, pray for guidance, and continue to give Him the praise, and keep it moving..

    He'll set the rest in order when He comes......

    i think in that passage, "the Law" is some sort of proper noun, that means something ( i dont know what, maybe the commandments?) different from the law or all things legal
