Society & Culture - 9 July 2007

I think that whether God used evolution or not to create life (there's alot of evidence that he did) has NO effect on achieving salvation through the LORD Jesus Christ. Keep in mind that the Holy Bible's purpose is not as a science textbook, rather focuses on Jesus Christ and the world to come. Since the 7 "day" creation story was written before the rise of modern science, I think that it shouldn't be taken literally. Do you agree that If you take accept science's discoveries, such as the earth revolving around the sun, then one should also accept evolution?

agree??

"do you have a girlfriend"?
answer: "no, i have a boyfriend."???
For lesbians the answer is obviously: "do you have a boyfriend"???

Do you think the excuse: "no one needs to know about my sexuality" is just an "excuse"???

The ten commandments says nothing about fornication it says though shall not commit adultery but technically fornication isn't adultery because your not married. If you only have to follow the ten commandments to get into heaven then you doesn't that mean fornication isn't a sin? HURRAY!!!

I was just watching Bill O'Reilly & he had someone from GLAAD on there to apologize for calling a lesbian gang the wrong name. Is that just made up garbage or is there really such a thing as a lesbian gang? He said that 1 gang in Memphis that consisted of 4 lesbians beat a guy nearly to death, but it just doesn't sit right with me, I think I would have heard about gay gangs & I never have

I have heard it all my life, but never been shown it, and quite frankly I like gambling. My husband and I won $800 on our first cruise. Paid for the whole thing. :-)

What is your opinion on this as well as your religious background?

If an Atheist tells you that dinosaurs roamed the earth long before man did, but a religious expert told you that there are no such thing as dinosaurs, it's just another trick of the devil, who is being more godly?

Also, if that same Atheist told you that the Earth was round and revolves around the sun along with other planets, but the same religious leader said that the earth was flat, set on a foundation, and that there were no other planets, those lights in the sky are all stars set in place by god and the sun goes around the Earth, not vice versa, who is telling god's truth?

What my question boils down to is this, how do you know your religious leaders and holy books are right, when (assuming there is a god) all of his creation is self evident and sometimes opposed to the current religious beliefs? Could it be that Atheists who go by the mere facts of observable and demonstratable reality alone are god's greatest witnesses to the truth?

I've seen it spelled 2 different ways online
1) Fax mentis incedium gloriae
2) Fax mentis incendium gloriae

I can't figure out whether "Incedium" or "Incendium" is the correct spelling of the word in context, can anyone clear this up for me?

Thanks!!!

Bob and Erin are a lovely couple. They have a home together. They have two dogs. They both work in the educational system. Bob is a devout Christian, goes to church, and has accepted Christ.

There's one catch: Bob and Erin are lesbians. Bob is short for Bobby Jo.

So, will Bob and Erin go to hell?

hate and violence would you try to ignore that part of your faith??
I mean if your belief about gay people may lead other people to behave in a violent way (kill, imprison...) with gay people, would you ignore that part of what is in the bible, in the name of universal love???
what would be more important for god : that you "fight" for everyone to "love"/respect everyone? or that you condemn gays?

Like many Christians, I often wonder what Jesus himself would have said about many of the major issues faced by the Church today.

I feel confident that I know what Jesus would say about capital punishment. He told us to answer hate with love, to turn the other cheek, and to love our enemies. He would be totally against the death penalty.

Jesus knew us even in our mother's womb. I think he would be against abortion.

But how would Jesus respond to the huge controversy over same-sex blessings/same sex marriage and ordination of homosexuals. With the previous two issues, I can read the words of Jesus himself and know what teaches about the matters. But its not the same with homosexuality. He said nothing about it.

So what would Jesus have thought about same sex marriage and the idea of openly gay priests?

What do you think?
