Part 10 of Post Your Tough Questions Regarding Christianity

I don't see why not. As far as I know there is no commandment made by God that tells us that married couples can only have sex at night, at some particular hour...lol

Off or on it's ok.

Whatever position suits the couple's maximum pleasure & enjoyment is ok.

Married couples having sex is ok provided that they are a male/female couple and are having it just between themselves and not anybody else, if they do then it becomes a sin.

Their sexual encounter doesn't have to be primarily for procreation purposes.

 

Well, what did I leave out? Who knows maybe I can see it but first tell me what it is.

 

Why do you call him a liar? It is really unwarranted. WanRen is only expressing what is written in Scripture.

Let's quote the Scripture, "Then God said, Let us make human beings in our image, to be like ourselves. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.

So God created human beings in His own image. In the image of God He created them; male and female He created them."---Genesis 1:26-27 NLT

So where is the lie?...nowhere cause there isn't one.

 

Okay I got one

Why are we supposed to be so grateful to Christ because "he died for us" I mean, yes, it was a very, very nice thing to do but since then literally MILLIONS (like all those who died in WWI and II) have died "for us". We don't worship them.

And don't go saying, "But he was GOD", because that actually makes it LESS worthy. Christ died knowing that he would rise again. None of the millions who have died since have had that knowledge to comfort them.

What makes Christ so special?

 

Think temperal salvation vs eternal salvation.

God humbled himself and became man, and suffered willingly to guarantee our salvation. Christ knowing he would rise again didn't change the fact that he still had to go through everything he had to endure.

So sex is for pleasure and not procreation.
Then it is open to whatever the person(s) chooses.

Couldn't even tell you what this was about. This is from a year ago?
Idiotic to reply to posts from that long ago.

 

How do you get 'his' from 'our' in reference to image.
Again, this is really really old. No reference on where to look it up.
Pretty dishonest to be doing this.

 

Oh so everything you said was dishonest in the past then...right?

What do you mean no reference to look it up what you posted, you see the little blue square next to your name with the arrows above your quote, just click on that and it brings you to the post you made on Part IV...sheesh! I tell ya!...lol

 

Uhhh....that entire line from Genesis is a lie.

Every major religion and religious leader including the POPE has stated that EVOLUTION is the method which Humans came to exist upon Earth and that the Old Testaments stories were written in order to find some way to get the ancient human population under control and have guidelines that would prevent them from murdering and killing their fellow human beings for women, food and other resources.

The Pope said this? I think not. The Catholic Church has never said it was all in for evolution, although this is not to say they are not exactly against the idea either.

 

Every Pope since John Paul II...look it up!

Read the verse. Read what he said. And I pointed out the exact same thing in response to you.
See if you can figure it out.

 

Wrong. Few things to correct here, Abraham's name at the time was Abram and not Abraham until later when God changed his name.

Secondly, Abram was not guilty of fornication since he married Hagar, making Hagar his 2nd wife.

Lastly, during the OT days God allowed polygamy.

Conclusion, no sin was committed.

Final comment: You always learn something new when coming to my thread.

Well, think eternal death vs. temporary death. The fact of the matter is that Christ DIDN'T really die, not if you define death as permanent condition

Very nice of him too, I said that, and yes, Crucifixion is a particularly horrible way thing to go through, BUT there are worse, and many people have suffered them

Again, you are simply stating the he is God and therefore his "death" (even if it's not real) counts more than the many millions of ours, but this begs an additional question. WHY did he have to die?

 

Really? Does anyone learn correct information?
Is God still creating today? Or has he stopped as the bible says?

 

Wait, you believe God can change his mind about what is sinful?
Doesn't that directly contradict the notion of omniscience?

 

Quote where the bible says God is "omniscience"..... waiting....

 

So if you don't believe God is omniscient (ie: exhibits omniscience), do you believe "he" is omnipotent or omnipresent?

 

I only asked you to quote where the bible states this. But I do know the bible calls God "almighty". I would say that by human standards God would be considered "omnipotent".... just to humor you.

 

A) why should I quote a book that I don't believe has any more relevance than any other allegedly "sacred" book?
B) If God changed his mind about what is sinful, what happened to those who were sent to Hell for sins he changed his mind about, or those that made it into heaven having committed actions that are now deemed sinful?

 

A) If that is the case then why even bring it up.

B)How do you know those who committed the sins are in hell now?

 

YOU brought up the Bible... Post #340

So you don't believe sinners go to Hell?

 

Well where did you get the idea of God's "omniscience"?

So now you are taking the leap of "people already in hell" to a belief in hell. Are you building a straw man?

If you have a point to make don't be afraid to make it.

 

I'd say that's a pretty uncivilized way to achieve your goal of forcing the Muslims to covert to Christianity (a civilized religion).

What sort of evil wicked mind would do this? We can thank God you're not in charge of the approval of deploying nuclear missiles on whom ever you desire your targets to be.

 

The Bible tells us that God does perceive all things, which means that no fact can be hidden from His knowledge. As King David recognized: “Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, but the night shines as the day; the darkness and the light are both alike to You” (Psalm 139:12). God sees all things, and nothing can be hidden from His knowledge—not even the secret intentions of the heart (Psalm 44:21). In fact, He understands our own intentions better than we do (cf. Jeremiah 17:9-10; Hebrews 4:12)! As Paul explains, “there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account” (Hebrews 4:13).

Human beings perceive through the senses, but there are limits to what the senses let us perceive and understand. But God’s senses are not limited like ours! His Spirit searches all things (1 Corinthians 2:10), and nothing is beyond God’s ability to perceive it. In this sense, He is omniscient. Nothing can escape His gaze and His knowledge. If it can be known, He knows it!

Now everyone knows, everyone has their own interpretations and ideas.
And if you don't believe God is omniscient, you are the 1st christian, if you are one, that I've heard doesn't believe God is omniscient.
