    Pope Francis allows priests to bless same-sex couples (not marriage)

    An open letter to Dr. Laura Schlessinger: I got the following letter off the Net, but without an attribution. After a few false starts, I eventually discovered the author . I have annotated the letter with the actual verses quoted , towards the end. J. Kent Ashcraft May 2000 Dear Dr. Laura...

    Pope Francis allows priests to bless same-sex couples (not marriage)

    Yes, I like to refer to that sort of thing as “the Leviticus Buffet.” You get to pick the stuff you like, and leave the rest for someone else. Like when Rev. Reed said that that his church has to terminate its charter with Boy Scout Troop 542 because theBSA lifted its ban on openly gay youths...

    Pope Francis allows priests to bless same-sex couples (not marriage)

    Of course, the faithful believe that the election of a Pope is inspired by God in Conclave, and that the selection cannot be wrong. Nor can the duly elected Pope err in matters of faith or morals, when speaking ex cathedra. I take it, then, that you (and of course Archbishop Vagano) no longer...

    A classic! My post 36 refers. :grinning:

    Pope Francis allows priests to bless same-sex couples (not marriage)

    Generally speaking, the conservative bishops don't like him, but the younger ones do, and even though I'm not a bishop I'm much more in agreement with the latter. Jesus taught "love one another" and that's exactly where PF's heart is.

    Pope Francis allows priests to bless same-sex couples (not marriage)

    I liked it like the Days of Lot is here again. Because it means we're right at the end of time and speeding toward the day when the Son of Man is revealed. “The delirious Declaration Fiducia Supplicans, recently published by the parody of the former Holy Office renamed the Dicastery...

    Why do some Atheists say Christianity is harmful?

    Lol, so because you believe that other Baha'i groups consider homosexuality to be moral (whether rightly or wrongly I don't know) you have decided that they don't exist even after you admitted in the other thread that they do. So not only are you deciding which group is true depending on which...

    Why do some Atheists say Christianity is harmful?

    As I said, the Baha'i Faith is not trying to ban homosexuality, not to mention that that would be impossible. I have never been so glad as I am today to be a member of the Baha'i Faith, and as @TransmutingSoul said, there is only one Baha'i Faith. I would never be a member of those other...

    The Biblical definition of sin is transgression of the law. Breaking what God says is the law. "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. - 1 John 3:4 I knew that. Didn't know that one, and I'm a Sabbath guy.. I don't think so. It sounds...

    How can you be a True Christian™ if you don't take the Eden story literally?

    Lots of people quote Christian things from the NT and say that it is from the Bible. I looked up Biblical divorce laws in Judaism and this is a quote from one of the articles... According to biblical law, a man is permitted to divorce his wife at will and send her away from his home. The second...

    Southern Baptist Convention says "no" to women pastors

    You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you get what you need! Touché, mon ami!

    Southern Baptist Convention says "no" to women pastors

    Good question. So many of these apologists for god are having the opposite effect of what one might assume that they are here for - to draw people into their theistic worldview. Yet they argue science with those trained in it, who find their manner of processing information (faith in dogma)...

    Parents call police on teacher over LGBT book.

    That's what you personally believe and it has no business running or dictating the lives of others. Religion is like a penis in that regard. It's fine if you have one but keep it to yourself and don't ever think or assume it's ok to impose it upon others.

    Parents call police on teacher over LGBT book.

    Good evening Father Heathen. I'm amazed. The impudence. This teacher knew exactly what she was doing. Why, if she had any suspicions of a backlash, didn't she consult the headteacher or other colleagues before introducing that book in to the Curriculum called “This Book is Gay”. This teacher...

    Is "Cruelty" Ever Justified?

    Interesting point, because since there is, according to the Bible, one TRUE God -- He made himself clear to Abraham, Isaac, and later the people of Israel as you explain above, and stayed that way, including those who follow his Son. Thanks for your post.

    Is "Cruelty" Ever Justified?

    :question: Here you go. Clearly, that's false. Might I suggest you improve the attitude you displayed here. I don't think that's an attitude of every atheist, but it certainly is, of some. It would make receiving what you ask for easier. Actually, persons having such an attitude is the reason...

    Does theism lead to immoral behaviour?

    That is like saying, a law book leads to immoral behavior. But I agree, lying with a man, as with a woman, is detestible.

    Is it possible to see God's 'face'?

    The angels that appeared to Abraham, lsaac, Jacob, Manoah, and others, all appeared in the form of men. These people were not wrong to have claimed to have seen God 'face to face'. The issue was that they had heard the voice of the LORD, speaking with the authority of God, and had assumed that...

    Is it possible to see God's 'face'?

    :thumbsup: Whoa. I didn't say that. I said Gen 18 is mysterious. I said we don't really know what Abraham saw. I said that other appearances are handled differently. And at the end I made a global statement that the LORD does not have a human form in the Hebrew bible. A good reason for...
