So believing in God is childish? Well , Christ said :

Originally posted by Rajk999Yes , thats a pretty good list of things NOT to worry about.
If homosexuality is ok because it does not hurt anyone then that would void the Bible totally. Why? Here are a list of sins which dont hurt anyone ..
1 Safe fornication - no pregnancies and no disease
2 Hidden adultery - nobody finds out
3 Covetousness - lusting after your neighbours big car and big house
4 Drunkeness - stay at home and drink - wi ...[text shortened]... od, but that is only relevant to you, so dont use that as a reason why I should change my views.
Originally posted by Rajk999Right, that is childish. It is the same fundamentalism which characterised the Pharisees and which characterises Muslim terrorists. It is the consequence of divorcing reason from biblical theology.

I ACCEPT GODS LAWS WITHOUT QUESTION.
Then by LJs estimation Im childish, my reasoning is childish etc etc.
Originally posted by Conrau KWhatever you say. The laws by which I live dont come from atheist guys.

Originally posted by Rajk999I don't understand. I am not trying to impose any laws on you. I am quite happy for Christians to observe their biblical precepts. What worries me about your attitude to Christian ethics, however, is the total absence of critical reasoning. Your attitude is basically that if Scripture commands it, no further reasoning needs to be engaged.

Sorry to disappoint you.

Originally posted by Rajk999Whatever...I'm just trying to give you some practical advice so that your christianity may carry a bit more weight but if you want to continue to denounce people for sins that dont hurt anyone then feel free. I am following Conrau out of this thread, I'm sure any further questions you may have have already been answered, in one way or another, on this thread. Goodbye
God deals with those who sin.
Originally posted by karoly aczelI think its arrogant of you Mr Karoly to think for one second that you can give me advice which will override what the Bible clearly says.

O.K., hold your horses. You asked me for my argument, and I’m presenting it. Once the argument is done, you’ll have your opportunity to respond. I know you want to start your defense, but please just let me get my argument out. Then I’ll go back over your posts and respond to your objections and counter-arguments.
My second question is this:
In each ...[text shortened]... er that did not involve the death of young children?
Again, this is a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ question.
My second question is this:
In each instance where God either commanded the death or directly killed young children, would it have been possible for God to have realized His ends or goals in some other manner; some manner that did not involve the death of young children?
Again, this is a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ question.
Originally posted by sumydidSure. You can use me as an example anytime. 😏
One last point bbarr...
When my dog humps the visitor's leg, does that necessarily mean my dog is into bestiality and physically attracted to humans? The obvious answer is no. So why then when an animal humps another male animal conveniently within close proximity, is that animal automatically a bona fide homosexual?
I'm just asking because you have ...[text shortened]... ious and quote me and take me to task for it. You know I don't really think that)
Originally posted by sumydidI am finished with this thread. I am not going ot look at it anymore.
Just remember, brothers.
The people you are arguing against believe that male on male sodomy is not only perfectly natural, but, our physical make up accomodates it with the prostate which is believed to be a bona fide sex organ.
They are free to believe that just as I am to disagree; but I just wanted to remind you, or tell you for the first time if you missed me concluding it a few pages ago.
