    Polygamy

    Okay, but this argument didn't come "from the left". It came from me, in my words. I think opposition to polygamy runs the political spectrum. And I don't believe anyone has married a pony, you're just being silly now. You've lost me here. Are you suggesting monogamous families don't have...

    ...An Atheist or a non-Christian?

    I don't call you names.

    ...An Atheist or a non-Christian?

    My problem lies in that as soon as I label myself a Christian (and I've done so at various points in my life), two things happen: 1. To Christians, they assume I immediately 100% agree with every last nuance of their brand of Christianity and badger me to death if I have a slightly different...

    ...An Atheist or a non-Christian?

    I serve God, not Christianity. I don't need a religion to believe in or serve God, and it baffles me why people seem to think otherwise. There's this huge lie, believed by many, that the church is a dispenser of salvation. It isn't.

    Polygamy

    So, I noticed a bunch of places where people have suggested or promoted polygamy as a viable option. I know a good scriptural argument could be made for why it's wrong and against God's will, but I also know that there's people who can argue scripture in circles all day long. So, I just want to...

    Using the NLTse as my primary Bible

    For just reading and memorization, use whatever version you're most comfortable with. For in-depth study of scripture, I find it VERY helpful to have a couple other versions around to get new perspectives into the particular verses. So I have a NIV as my "main" Bible, plus a NKJV and a NLT. And...

    ...An Atheist or a non-Christian?

    In rough order from easiest to hardest: - Other religion that follows the Bible - Agnostic ("never really thought about it") - Nonreligious that believes in God - Other religion that doesn't follow the Bible - Non-God atheist

    ...An Atheist or a non-Christian?

    You clearly don't understand that not all atheists are against God. People who believe in and serve God but don't follow any religion can still get into Heaven. It's not an exclusive club for everyone who was a big fish at their local church. Go ahead, give me another infraction for disagreeing...

    Westboro Baptist Church Music Video

    Felix, should I focus on the utter stupidity of your argument, or your ridiculous misuse of scripture out of context, or the flagrant hypocrisy of some of your very well publicized previous statements? Please let me know, because there's too much fail in this to adequately fit into a single...

    Among many others, yes. Now you see my dilemma.

    They're a part of it. I refuse to belong to anything that includes such vitriol.

    They say they're Christian, and they have the same beliefs as lot of Christians (expressed more strongly and vocally to be sure, but don't fool yourself. There are people sitting in the pew next to you on Sunday who have a smug satisfaction that gays are going to burn in Hell someday).

    ...An Atheist or a non-Christian?

    Being Christian or Atheist is irrelevant to salvation. The Bible makes it clear how to do so, and all who do have a place in Christ regardless of what name they identify as.

    When people ask me why I'm not Christian, this will be a helpful video to point them to.

    CF.net, What is your doctrine?

    It's a common occurrence in all areas of society, that people select those to put in a leadership position who agree with them. Not that surrounding yourself with "yes" men/women is necessarily the best course of action... I'd argue that a few people with contrary positions are far more useful...

    Graven Image

    Hm, good way of looking at it, celebrity crush... lol

    Nah, nothing sexual about it. Having a crush on someone doesn't make you a pervert.

    Graven Image

    So I have a huge crush on a graven image, specifically a character from an anime series. Is this a sin? God tells us: You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the...

    Is This a Christian Position

    Ultimately, you can. The problem is that if you narrow the field of people too much, you'll have difficulty finding a "proper" tenant without months of vacancy while you search. Also, it's a two way street. If you find a tenant who is perfect in every way, what makes you think they're...

    It’s Very Simple, People

    I don't think so. Even saints have to deal with tragedy, etc.
