Religion = the link between the creator and the created. Or a vehicle to explain that link.
Christianity is a philosophy, not a religion. The teachings of Christ dealt more with the unifying of Jewish sects around the time of his death, which would have dealt a blow to the Roman tactics of...
I think the two of you should read Erika's post. She summed it up far better than I thought I could.
Oh, and as far as his reference to 9-11, although he mentioned it (and everything else in his post) in kind of a haughty, self-righteous manner
This was not my intention. However I will ask...
So.... basically you're saying that those who engage in homosexual acts should keep it in the closet and their relationships are not the equal of heterosexual ones?
No.
I'm a little confused by your posts, for one what do they have to do with Christianity (since you posted in this in the...
What about love? You define sex simply as an act, but isn't it, or shouldn't it really be an expression of commited love for another?
The idea of love between two committed people, as I'm assuming you are putting it, did not rear it's head until the Victorian era (1837-1901), when England's...
There's two schools of thought on this, Eastern (Asia, Middle East, tribal countries) and Western (W. Europe, Canada, United States) No suprise here. Since 9-11 we've been hearing a lot about East v West, haven't we?
Eastern cultures believe sex is an ACT, reserved privately for the bedroom...
I do believe you would find more "discussions" on this forum if you posted your own IDEAS about this topic than blindly just cutting & pasting from arbitrary websites. Just a suggestion.
No Bible before the Revised Standard Version in 1946 used "homosexual" in any Bible translation...
If you can come directly to God without having to go through Christ then wouldn't you want to ?
Ah yes, this is what's known as the "Interstate Rush Hour Fallacy", where rush hour consumes the road raged driver, so he/she seeks and utilizes the various back roads to reach the ultimate...
And on to your mammouth list of enlightened scholars from the times of yore, I must admit, the list is impressive. Most of these were satirists and/or poets and philosophers of this respective time. "Historians" should be used with caution, as this craft was not introduced until much later, and...
I think it has something to do with since Christ is the head of the Church, and Man serves God/Christ and Man is the head of the household that woman serves Man.
Hey Erika, you fellow Floridian you ... will you marry me? >>>grin<<<
No, but seriously though, it is truly...
Christ's death is ASSUMED to be around 30CE.. as there is no actual record of his existence or of the existence of a man called Jesus of that time who was crucified.
Could you please point me to this particular reference from the Misguided Anti-Christian Handbook. I can't seem to remember...
All events do not happen at one time in the universe at one spot. This is far from what happens.
That wasn't meant to be taken literally. Things don't exist until someone comes along and defines them
Think. That is ...
Definition of Science: man's limited understanding of the universe
Definition of Time: entity created to prevent all the events in History from happening at once
Definition of Space: entity created to prevent all the events in History from happening in one spot
The great science minds...
