    Sex Before Marriage

    s2a, I just want to make two comments on what you have said. 1. It only works if the God of the Bible does not exist. It only works if we are really all animals, as you obviously think. It only works if the theories that are lumped under the catagory of 'evolution' are correct. Since none of...

    Yes, you can. Close-minded sometimes, and fickle sometimes. You can even be both at the same time. Closed-minded to advice, when you don't know what to choose yourself.

    Sex Before Marriage

    Again, a clarification. I meant as in a financial situation requiring compensation. Such as, the person becoming a slave because he has no money, or anything else, to pay a dept. This includes a choice of becoming a slave, or not paying the person. Not paying would not be right, because it would...

    Paul makes allowances for such situations too. Masters are not to be harsh to their servants, and servants are to respect their masters. Rules to keep slavery in order until the abolishment of it.

    No, because if a person had no other choice but to become one then he would have to. This, however, makes them more like temporary servants then slaves.

    I meant on how keeping slaves shouldn't be practiced. The fact that man should not be over man in that way.

    Sex Before Marriage

    Mister_T, I have looked at the site you provided and all it says is that the word has many meanings. It talks mostly about how sexually bad things were back then, and tries to make it look like the word got that meaning over time and didn't have it already. I agree that there were sick sexual...

    Circumcision Myths

    Just thought I would post a link for this: http://www.circumcision.net/. Eighth day circumcision is apparently painless, so no trauma. Unless, of course, the doctor uses a clamp to cut it off. Clamps are dibilitatingly painful and should never be used on anyone.

    Cardero, what "god" are you speaking of?

    Sex Before Marriage

    So you believe Jesus is a liar? Everything else He said was true. He was perfectly predicted as the Christ. He fulfilled the messianic prophecies, which the statistics of that is akin to picking an electron out of the universe, and it being the exact one you were looking for. It's the...

    Sex Before Marriage

    I don't really get this too much. Jesus is God. They are the same. The heart of Jesus is the heart of God. He, many times, calls Himself God. He refers to Himself as 'I AM' (YHWH) many times. This is something that people tried to stone Him for. His message to the Israelites and the Gentiles...

    Sex Before Marriage

    If you define it based on initial feelings. It's unnatural. (Wait a second; I'm on a forum with people who don't seem to understand this term beyond their own initial feelings.) It's unclean, or sin, or evil, or unlawful, or against God. Whatever term you actually understand. Combine them all...

    Sex Before Marriage

    And I thought you said you didn't have hard feelings against God. Where does God condem that? It's like you want to say that just because God doesn't want you to do evil, that it means He doesn't want you to have pleasure either. That's all wrong!!! Sexual activity with the person you are...

    Sex Before Marriage

    Well, I guess they have the right to do that. It's their choice to make, whether or not they want to do the procedure. It's not something just thought of to get around those tough questions. It’s something that’s found to be true in all known cases and to keep from constantly trying to figure...

    Sex Before Marriage

    I would like to know what reasoning doctors have behind this. I guess I'll look it up, later. There are far too many scenarios to go through them all without making it too simple. I'm not God, so I can't go through them all like He does. I don't have the wisdom He does. I am only telling you...

    Sex Before Marriage

    I didn’t say it was the only purpose. There are many purposes in it. What I was saying is that if you want to have sex, be prepared for children. As for birth control, I don’t know of any birth control that works 100% of the time, short of getting a vasectomy and other operations like that...

    Sex Before Marriage

    We have the freedom to be responsible and accountable for our own actions. However, it is God that decides what we recieve for them.

    Sex Before Marriage

    As you said, so it is. There are no conditions or restrictions of freewill. However, if it's not used in the right way then you die on this Earth and don't get to be part of the New Earth. Anyway, if you didn't make the right choices on this Earth, what makes you think you should get to be on...

    Sex Before Marriage

    Sorry, if 2, 3, or 4 were put into effect then God would be taking away our free will. If 1 was put into effect then children wouldn't be a gift from God, they would be automatic. If 1 was put into effect then God wouldn't be able to give children when He wants. Samuel's life wouldn't have been...
