God wishes it, but that's not good enough for you despite the fact that what is in the Bible is God's Word kept pure down through the ages? Okay, pretty handy too.
You said that, not the Bible. In your last post:
Always easy to blame someone else--"the Devil made me do it", right? At least I have the integrity to take responsibility for my own actions.
Denial is not just a river in Egypt.
And the site I posted with only 408 contradictions are not significant. Okay, pretty handy. Here's another question you won't choose to answer: if it's the literal Word of God kept pure down through the ages, then which version is the correct one? King James (but he was a homosexual!), the Joseph Smith Inspired Bible? The Reader's Digest Condensed Bible (they only left out the unimportant parts), the Unisex Bible, the Red-Letter Bible? The Codex Sinaiticus? What about the Catholic Bible? What about all the books that were voted out of the Bible by the Council of Nicea?
Oh, it gets better than that, both of my brothers have found Jesus (I never lost Him) and they each believe that the other is wrong, but along comes me with a birth defect that unites them in a chorus of condemnation. I hope you guys can get together in Heaven and go bowling.
There are a bunch of your "brothers" (including one of mine) that say you are wrong in this.
God wishes you to remain celibate and use all your energy--like Paul--in worshipping Him.
Hey, you are the one who was going to give all his stuff to one person and make them rich so that they had to give it all back.
Complaining? No, no, I'm "helping" you because you don't understand the Bible and you obviously are backslidden.
Jesus was a socialist, it's right there in the Bible about wealth distribution and rich people, camels, and eyes of needles.
Your bland assumption that I do not--based solely on the fact that I disagree with you seems really arrogant.
And the Bible is such a large work, by so many people, with so many versions, that with care on can justify almost anything with it: slavery, subjuagtion of women, genocide, murder, rape, kidnapping, and hatred.
Funny thing is that I'm on the receiving end and I feel like it's bashing. You know that the people who ran the Inquisition believed that they too were doing God's work, so did the Crusaders, so does the KKK today, and you're right and all the other's are wrong?
A book says it's wrong, there has yet to be a proven connection between God and ANY religion. You have no proof, the Muslims have no proof--Hell, there's not even any proof that a man named Jesus ever did all the things in the Bible.
You get to uphold what you see as God's laws in your life, but when you use force to make other people uphold what you think God's laws are, then you have to be judging them and finding them wanting.
I have asked you repeatedly without response why you are posting on threads about gay and transpeople since you feel them to be evil or somesuch? You aren't here to offer compassion and mercy, you haven't said a compassionate or merciful thing yet. Why are you here if not to give us grief?
How could my view of my life not be one-sided? Beyond decrying the huge amount of grief and misery visited on us by Christians I have said nothing about how anyone else should live their life--but you can't do that for some reason. Why? God gave us our lives, can't you wait for Him to judge us before you bash us with your "help"?
God can see into my heart and He knows what lies there, that's good enough for me. Too bad it's not good enough for you.
