    Fornication or sexual immorality? Is fornication sexual immorality?

    Some versions of the bible use the word fornication, while others use sexual immorality. Also, there's that list in Leviticus 18 of commandments on who you shouldn't sleep with, being relatives, animals, the same sex, and it doesn't say anything about premarital sex. Paul is clear about having...

    Liberal Christians: If I get into Heaven just cause, what’s the point?

    why did Christ or god ever do anything? Why don’t I just kill myself and my entire family so we don’t have to suffer this world? It doesn’t matter.

    Why am I still a bigot?

    I think homosexuality is a sin. Nothing will change that. You may say Paul was just saying lustful gays are sinning, but it can also mean it's the same as lust. However, I don't think it's a reason to discriminate. On an individual basis like housing, jobs, and services. Events are a different...

    Jesus and Thought crime.

    So in my bible reading I was reminded of a few reasons I'm not a super big fan of some of the things Jesus said. OR well just about any of it really. 27 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery;' 28 but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has...

    Demystifying Jesus

    Assuming that Jesus was a real man, is it possible to give a real world interpretation to his life and philosophy? Central to that philosophy is saving us from sin. What is meant by the term “sin”? Leaving aside any examples which require reference to God, let’s look at gluttony as an example...

    Are God and Satan the same?

    Hi everyone. I was reading this book called "Every Waking Moment" (the one by Kristopher Seals on Amazon not the other ones with the same name) and I saw that the character was questioning whether God or Satan were the same. The character (Bobby) pointed out several things that the two had in...

    Is killing insects, small plants, etc out of fear or by accident, still sinful?

    I have tremendous Arachnophobia and often I kill tarantulas that simply pop up in the walls of my room by spraying them with poisonous chemicals. I couldn't just throw it out of the room since I m really terrified of going near it. But after killing it, I do feel guilty and sad. I also evade...

    Question from a friendly atheist to faithful Christians, Muslims and Jews: Is there any item within God’s doctrine (defined sins, requirements of faith/observance, standards fort punishment/reward in any afterlife, etc.) according to your own personal understanding of that doctrine, that you...

    The Atonement Doctrine (Did Jesus Die For Our Sins?)

    @q konn @Luca85 Part 1 Christianity teaches that Jesus died for sins of mankind, and the Bible makes it seemingly so. But is the atonement doctrine really compatible with scripture? In this thread, the issue of sacrifice examined in both the Old Testament and the New Testament. Anyone who has...
