Bishop Spong and others have advanced the theory that Paul was actually a homosexual. There appears to be convincing evidence in the Bible that he was gay. Given this fact, would you want to go camping, alone, in the woods with him for a few weeks. Just the two of you, sharing a tent?

So many religions out there either say that only humans are of any spiritual value or that humans are explicitly a higher level of life.

(of course, we're the ones who nominated, voted, and awarded ourselves this distinction... but that's another topic)

What the hell is so special about us?
Where do we get off acting like the "chosen" lifeform?


In terms of trustworthiness and loyalty, I'll put my dog (and even my evil cat) up against any human in existance.

I'm sorry, but when I look at the behavior of the species Homo Sapiens versus other species, I fail to see what is so damn special about us.
And I also note that the only species impressed with Homo Sapiens is ... Homo Sapiens.

So don't tell me that the bible (written by Homo Sapiens) constitutes any kind of proof that Homo Sapiens are occupy spiritual higher ground.

Anyone out there ever question whether man really is closer to "god" than are those we arrogantly term the "lesser animals"?

For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost, and theses THREE are ONE

God-Jesus-Holy Ghost

Matthew 28:18 ( IN RED)
ANd Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, ALL POWER IS GIVEN UNTO ME IN HEAVEN AND IN EARTH.
28;19
gO YE THEREFORE, AND TEACH ALL NATIONS, BAPTIZING THEM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, and the SON, and the HOLY GHOST;

Acts 2:38
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every ONE of YOU in the name of JESUS CHRIST for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Do you think there is only ONE GOD?

And if not can you give me bible verses also please

You expect me to believe all of you are just here to save souls? Not with the abrasive, combative, hostile attitudes I see on this forum. You drive people away from your faith. Would Jesus approve?

A priest touched me in a bad way, but then i realized it was a good way. It just overwhelmed, like a Christian is addicted to stupidity. What I'm wondering is, if a man of god turned me out like this, does that mean god wants me to be a whore?

The bible says blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is unpardonable.

There are a LOT of interputations of what it is.

I believe it is the continually rejection of Jesus and his Holy Spirit.

What do you think? A lot of people have opinions, and entire religions have different beliefs about it.

Do you realise that these evolutionist think that a fossil was formed by laying out in the dirt and wind for thousands of years?

That is impossible. (proven by actual demonstrable, and measurable science) (the real stuff). So why is it they the atheists believe in billions of years of time. (please do not spout out any fairy tales about proven this or proven that because you all know that it is STILL merely theory). I hope the atheists can let go of their bong long enough to answer. lookin forward to it?

just so you know us "creationists" know that it happened in the flood..
