Texas A&M Student Senate Passes Discriminatory LGBT Bill

Yes, the Earth was the center of the universe, according to the Catholic Church.

I don't even consider the Catholic Church true biblical Christianity.

 

Funny considering the roots of the Catholic Church can be traced back to the Apostles and Saint Peter was the first Pope.

 

Your entire existence in this thread has been your belief that they are immoral, and that has been your basis for denying them equal rights. Yes, I'd say you have been ardent in your opposition.

 

You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't use reason to get to.

But it's all good. Folks like bobmarley are the minority, and they're becoming an increasingly minor minority.

 

Study church History sometime. Peter was not the first Pope and Catholicism didn't start until nearly the fourth century.

When Jesus said said to his apostles and upon this rock will I build my church, a little knowledge of koine Greek goes a long way. In the text Jesus referred to Peter as a "pebble" or more accurately as a small fragment of a larger rock. The "boulder" he was referring to was Himself. Jesus is the foundation, or chief cornerstone of the church. Peter, though given the charge to pastor the flock of the church in Jerusalem, along with the other Apostles (think church staff) are servants of the church that Jesus started during his personal ministry.

 

I have been in the minority for a long time. That's fine with me. One day all things will become clear.

 

All things will become clear? How? To whom?

 

If Jesus started the church in his lifetime why was he always going to Jewish services?

 

Peter served to found the church. Saul had a vision of Jesus while on the road to Damascus and became a Christian, adopting the name Paul. Paul became an evangelist for the church. This led to the name Pauline Christianity. This happened well before the fourth century A.D.

What you are referring to are the political actions of the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire recognized Pauline Christianity as a valid religion in 313 A.D. It then became the official religion of Rome in 380 A.D. At this time it became known as the Roman Catholic Church.

You refer to the political actions of Rome, not the history of the church.

 

Went out with a lady from the A&M accounting department awhile back and it amazed me the way they thrown money around. Its not just there but every college.

 

You don't mess with nature and you don't mess with a man's religion.

And you certainly can't impose on the majority without kickback.

That's a lesson some will learn the hard way.

 

I think he means that you will learn the errors of your way when you croak. That's the way I read it, at least.

 

No, you pretended to be in the minority.

 

hahah Those Catholics... pffft. It's awesome how you can decide which Christians are really Christian and which parts of the bible mean or don't mean x, y, and z.

 

I don't see how this "denies LGBT rights". If I wanna give my money to something I support rather than LGBT activities, that should be allowed because those are MY beliefs. Why is it that if your a Christian or any other group you have to accept the LGBT cause, but if your an LGBT activist you can say all sorts of offensive things about Christians? Double standard if ya ask me!

 

Link?

 

Oh my, what a cryptic and vague post.

But anyways, men have been messing with others' religion for a long long time. Read a book.

 

With that logic, I shouldn't have to pay any school taxes because I don't have, nor want, any children. I don't mind paying them, though, because it helps the society I am living in and lessons the chance that I will get robbed by some deadbeat who isn't taught anything.

Should you take it a step further? I only watch football on campus, so I don't want to fund any of the other sports. Does that seem fair? If you leave it to the majority, the minorities get screwed. That's how it works.

And stop it with the Christians-are-victims card. It's absurd. Christians with their persecution complex drive me crazy.

 

I think you should be able to choose certain things that your taxes go toward. I think you make a good point in paying taxes for the children for the community you live in. But the education needs to change. Perhaps instead of brainwashing the kids with liberal propaganda, we should teach them the facts in place of history liberal style.

In response to your second paragraph, you can decide to not fund money to the sports all you want. But when you fund money, your giving it to the school to give to whatever sport they want to, which would most likely be football anyways.

Read a history text book and you'll know the history of Christian persecution. It is still relevant today. In fact, I experience (or see) it almost everyday.

Things just have a tendency to become more clear over time.
