Was not the Bible we are talking about here about Love? Then why am I not seeing Love from those of are "defending" it? Maybe my version is wrong?
Well I guess we'll just place you on that list of folks who don't believe that the Bible is God's Word.
I'll keep repeating what God says, and if what He says seems unloving, I can't do anything about that.
Well, considering not even the Bible claims to be "God's word", I don't see why you should claim it is... and I ESPECIALLY don't see why you would claim that an English version with demonstrable translation errors and tainted context is.
You know you have created God in your own image when it turns out he hates all the same people you do.
(Or maybe, if you find a part of the Bible that seems to suggest that an eternalk and infinitely loving God sounds unloving about anything, perhaps thats a pretty good indication you've found a bit of the Bible that is inaccurate)
Almost true. Heterosexual sex outside of God ordained marriage between a man and a woman would still be sin.
If CT is gay and involved with a same sex person, CT ain't married according to how God's Word defines marriage.
And God does not bless disobedience.
I didn't demonize anything. If CT is in a relationship with another guy and they love each other, good for them. But if they are having sex or lusting after each other it is sin.
So... what makes you so sure that yours is accurate, while mine is in error?Like I said, your version may not make the claim, mine does.
It's not gonna change anything, including your mind?It's obvious there are some things about God's Word that you find unpalatable. Take it up with Him. It's not gonna change anything, but at least you will have gotten that off your chest.
Either you ignored the question about your wife because you did not want to admit that the relationship is only about lust, or you ignored it so you could continue to claim CT's relationship with his spouse is only about lust. In the first case, you are missing several important aspects of God's plan in marriage. However I suspect that this is not the reason you ignored the question.
[/QUOTE]In the second case either you are are deliberately lying about another human being's capacity to love, or you are demonizing him, making him less than human. Either way, it is not of God. Even if you do believe him to be less than human, flaming him is against the site rules.
Mine is the perfect, absolute Truth of God. According to you, yours might be tainted.
I hope you weren't trying to change my mind. I'm a deliverer of God's Truth. You'd have to change His Word to change my mind.
How does that work? I ask again, what makes you so sure that your is the perfect, absolute truth of God, and mine isn't?
What I'm trying to do is show you that your interpretation of "God's word" and God's ACTUAL word, are not necesarily the same thing.
I mean, you don't believe in Creationism, do you?
It's called faith. He says it's His Word and I have the utmost faith that it is because He says so. He created the universe. He's capable of maintaining His Word.
I never said I didn't believe the Bible to be INSPIRED, just its not INERRANT.If you don't believe the Holy Bible to be God's Inspired and inerrant Word, you don't have a standard by which to tell me what is or is not God's Word. :o
