Christianity topics that should not be discussed in Political Threads.

Catholics would surely agree with that one!

 

I am a protestant.

 

Actually it never is, because evidence is something that may be examined, whereas absence isn't anything at all...

...and all that can be examined in this case is the landscape.

Certainly that would bespeak a child with extraordinary awareness of the stupidity of adults.

 

That's in itself all fine and good, but we should keep that in mind when it comes to legislation as well as informal judgement.

While I see the point, I'm hesitant to draw the same conclusion (although at this point I'm just being nit-picky because I have little else to say). Is the importance of an issue directly correlated with the number of Jesus-verses? I haven't fine-combed it, but I don't find many Jesus quotes about not stealing (there are some, but the point of them is rarely not to steal), I wouldn't quote that as a reason to believe Christians shouldn't care about theft.

I think homosexuality and abortion are different kinds of discussions. Homosexuality, I don't think gets mentioned, other than potential inclusion in references to the "old laws". The debate about abortion is not so much whether abortion was discussed in detail in the Bible, but whether it should be considered a subset of murder (which the Bible and Jesus are, I think, sufficiently clear on being bad). With that in mind, I have no problem seeing how someone who believes that abortion is murder thinks the Bible and Jesus are pretty clear on abortion, as a kind of murder.

I'm in deep water here, because I don't really have a reference point for this, but I haven't been presented with a lot of praying for the sake of virtue signalling.

 

Interesting guess.

I'm 83...and I've gone through chemo and radiation for non-Hodgkins lymphoma...21 years ago.

I credit my doctors at the VA...not some god or god relatives.

Sorry about the war with the devil Mary is having in your body. With me...all I battle is the fact that everything I eat turns to ****.

 

Your soul , enjoy.


I took the hard road and dared to be killed, mother Mary wouldn't let me, that's why I finnaly realize it now.

 

Sorry, Genius, but a vacuum can be evidence that nothing (or almost nothing) is present.

You would do better if you stopped making up definitions to back your silliness...and just acknowledge that you were wrong.

Oh, that's all. JUST the landscape.

That is like saying...all we can look at is just the solar system.

Get a life.

Don't be so hard on yourself. And don't let 5 year old break your spirit.

 

Thanks for the blind guess that I have a "soul."

 

You just said it was in psychology. You are as full of it as any one of these people.

 

This is one of the more idiotic posts I've read today. Tell me, how does killing the unborn fit into Christian theology?

 

As per my post that I assume you read, it's not at all clear to me how those early Christians viewed abortion or whether Jesus agreed with them.

But, the rest of it is the important part to me.

There is enough doubt plus tie to religion that issueing laws against women on this topic hits me as just plain wrong.

AND, these laws are only one means to attempt to reduce the number of abortions.

Let's remember that laws against women is only one possible approach - not THE approach.

Canada has ZERO laws against abortion, yet they have a lower rate than do we. Other countries are having success with far less of the effort focused on laws against women.

EVERY American would like it if there were fewer abortions. It is the method that is unacceptable.

If we made "reduce the number of abortions" the objective and stopped with the laws against women part, we could ALL work together to lower the abortion rate. Maybe we could get down to where Canada is!!

But, I have to work AGAINST you now, because I am absolutely and totally against this legal assault.

 

Sounds a bit delusional to me, but if it makes your life worth living...go for it.

 

I made a mistake there.

My Grad work was in Psychology. I was typing in a hurry because I am watching some NFL games and am posting during half-times and during post season.

I made a mistake.

I acknowledge I made a mistake.

My grad work was in psychology.

 

That makes one of us.

Actually, without even considering the radiation that apparently pervades the universe, General Relativity seems to imply spacetime can be deformed; and surely such a towering paragon of perspicacity as yourself can see that it's impossible to deform nothing.

Can't stop doing what I wasn't doing in the first place. Not sorry for any inconvenience.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that you'll "respect" me more if I lie.

Figure you can find a nothing to examine if you broaden your horizons, do you?

Bad try.

If you don't, then neither do you qualify as a human being. Enjoy.

 

I don't give a damn about your politics. As far as I am concerned if you want to kill your kid, knock yourself out, it's better that people who believe in that sort of thing don't reproduce.

BUT - Jesus was against this as surely as he was against infanticide, and I would offer scriptural proof if it wasn't a waste of time.

 

It is very meaningful.
The NT is the base of Christianity. And Jesus is the base of Christianity.

 

Paul, aka Saul the persecutor of Chistisans. That's who your beliefs depend on?

 

umm, love is an emotion. The opposite emotion could be hate.

kill is an action. opposite of kill is not kill.

 

murder
[ mur-der ]
SEE SYNONYMS FOR murder ON THESAURUS.COM
noun
Law. the killing of another human being under conditions specifically covered in law.

Does not fit the legal definition. So no, abortion is not murder. If it was, women would be going to jail for abortions.

 

Post more please..


I want to feel mother Mary flowing through me

 

That seems perverted.

But, whatever floats one's boat. As long as another's rights aren't violated.

 

No.

 

Wrong!!!!! Love is NOT absolutely not an emotion..

Infatuation, lust and affection are emotions.

Love, that's something much much different.

 

Then why bring up Paul, aka Saul?
He never met Jesus so would have no clue what Jesus wanted or didn't want.

 

Nope, it's an emotion.
