Anti-Gay Pastor Allegedly Propositions Male Officer

I think you misread my post. Especially the part about civility. The sarcasm is not needed at this point. Furthermore, the point of my post was to point out that even with the fall of man, God intended for, and provided for reconciliation.

I do serve a loving New Testament Savior, the full circle plan of the same God of the Old Testament to whom all vengeance belongs anyway.

Please don't mock a thread that was otherwise civil.

 

I'm not mocking this civil thread.

I'd really like to know what sins the plants and animals commited to deserve disease and death since it has been explained earlier in this thread that disease is the result of sin and physical death is a symptom of sin and that death was unnatural until sin came.

(I did throw in a little sarcasm with the lawyer getting Eve off on a technicality, but otherwise I would like someone to try to give legit, reasonable answers about the plants, animals and their sins and why they should suffer.)

 

is sarcasm a sin?

 

What's wrong with you guys? Y'all are way too nice and civil with one another...are you guys gay or something?

Paging bigtexxx and T_J, we need a derailment and some poo flinging.

 

BARTLET: I like your show. I like how you call homosexuality an “abomination!”

JACOBS: I don’t say homosexuality is an abomination, Mr. President. The Bible does.

BARTLET: Yes it does. Leviticus!

JACOBS: 18:22.

BARTLET: Chapter and verse. I wanted to ask you a couple of questions while I had you here. I wanted to sell my youngest daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. She’s a Georgetown Sophomore, speaks fluent Italian, always cleared the table when it was her turn. What would a good price for her be?

(Bartlet only waits a second for a response, then plunges on.)

BARTLET: While thinking about that, can I ask another? My chief of staff, Leo McGary, insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly says he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself? Or is it okay to call the police?

(Bartlet barely pauses to take a breath.)

BARTLET: Here’s one that’s really important, because we’ve got a lot of sports fans in this town. Touching the skin of a dead pig makes one unclean. Leviticus 11:7. If they promise to wear gloves, can the Washington Redskins still play football? Can Notre Dame? Can West Point? Does the whole town really have to be together to stone my brother John for planting different crops side by side? Can I burn my mother in a small family gathering for wearing garments made from two different threads? Think about those questions, would you?

(The camera pushes in on the president.)

One last thing. While you may be mistaking this for your monthly meeting of the Ignorant Tight-Ass Club, in this building when the president stands, nobody sits.

(Jacobs sees that, in fact, the president is standing and she is the only one in the room sitting. After a moment, she rises, holding her tiny plate of appetizers. After the president exits, Sam Seaborn sternly approaches a thoroughly belittled Jacobs.)

SAM: I’m just … going to take that crab puff.

(Sam snatches Dr. Jacob’s crab puff, then hurries after the president.)

Actually if you remember from our "Original Sin" discussion, that is one of the staples of Christianity. All our sufferings and death is a result of the sin of Adam and Eve. I havent read through the rest of this thread yet, but just in case noone has replied...

 

One of God's most important commands to us is to be sexually pure. As sexual inclinations is one of the most powerful feelings, naturally there will be a lot of focus on supressing that inclination.

 

I think once you start making compromises with the Bible, you start walking a dangerous path. You should probably talk to your pastor about it rather than here.

 

Then you are basically dismissing the entire book of Genesis and every other book in the old Testament which gives a geneology from Adam down to Jesus.

Jesus refers to Adam and Eve in his teachings also. I really think that you hsould be having a discussion with your pastor about this.

 

I will give you a legit explanation if you email me.

The answer will be understandable, reasonable and Biblical.

Thanks for the interest.

 

Define "sexually pure". You seem to indicate sexual purity is repression of sexual inclination...

 

Just a side note but we could rebuild the Pyramids. It would cost a lot and it would be hard to quarry that much material but we could build new pyramids just like the ones at Giza. The structure of the pyramids isn't super complex, they're pretty much 99.9% solid stone stacked up on top of each other. The only problem is no one has the money to or interests in financing such an operation.

Besides that though good posts and agree with your POV. Also the D & D isn't as bad as people make it out to be and there are several posters who are civil and genuinely interested in discussion than "owning" each other. I've actually found the religion discussions to be the most civil.

 

AC Green.

 

then I trust he is smart enough to ignore him, and goto someone else. An Internet message board isn't the place to discuss such personal issues like you have with the doctrine of your faith.
