Society & Culture - 21 August 2007

We all know that the majority of Christians believe homosexuality to be a sin. I'm not here to defend or deny that belief.

What I want to know is this:

If you believe that remarrying after divorce is a sin - because let's face it, is it. It's called adultery - why do you believe that sin is any less serious in the eyes of God?

Another asker's question got me thinking about this. If both are sins, how can divorced and remarried Christians dare to judge gays?

Christians, please answer. Non-believers, please refrain from leaving comments such as "Christians don't recognize their own sin, they only see everyone else's." I want to see how the answers unfold.

I've even read an article this morning with some black folks defending his behavior or even go as far as saying he's being persecuted. I mean, it is being over-publicized, but come y'all!

the scripture that you use the most when you feel attacked - I know we should have a different scripture depending on the type of temptation but I like to use one for most

Isaiah 54:17
no weapon forged against you will prevail,
and you will refute every tongue that accuses you.
This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD,
and this is their vindication from me,"
declares the LORD.

the weapons of the devil will not win with the Lord on my side but I am also reminded that the weapons of the devil are continually made against me and I need to stay alert

or is it like none of your business? Nobody supports opposite sex marriage so why does same gender marriage need to be supported?

Ra is the source of all light and heat on earth. Without Ra, there would be no life. When Ra dies, so will life on the earth. The Christian concept of God, on the other hand, is hooey.

The Papal Encyclical Humanae Vitae of Pope Paul VI [1968] brought the position of the Catholic Church concerning contraceptives, sex and abortions. It maintained that sex outside of marriage is sin and that every sexual act must be open to conception. Hence no abortion or morning after pills. Do you think that this position is too rigid for the modern world where people question everything from agronomy to zoology? Do you think that people have a right to do whatever they want with their bodies without looking at the objective consequences for the human race? Is the Church not acting the 'voice of the defenseless' in your opinion. Please let me hear from you . . .

Yes it happens all the time ask any Asian person and they will have many stories.Blacks will laugh in the face of an Asian person as they do their little ching chong chang imitation and they call all Asians china man.White people can be racist to Asians also but not half as bad as black people and what makes it worst is the fact that blacks who claim to deal with racism every day should understand better then anyone the pain it causes. As an Asian I am tird of black people getting away with this racism towards Asians when just the mention of the N word makes every news channel and has the NAACP, al sharpton and jesse jackson demanding apologies.Maybe black people need to read about my ancestors and how they where treated building the railroads in this country.

I think most people have a disability. The inability to see their own failings. If they weren’t so short sighted they would stop using the word disabled or even worse the word normal. Compared to Stephen Hawkins you all have a learning disability, compared to Nurayev you all have moving disability. Instead of normal, substitute average then see if you still class yourself with that title. Get rid of the category disabled its an insult.

Any positive or negative aspects of Norwegian culture?

Any cultures that are at odds with Norwegians?

And, be honest, do you know where Norway is when looking at a map and do you think that it is the same thing as the Netherlands?

I've been seeing Raffaela for six months now. I met her in Marseille on a missions trip in February. After talking her into leaving her husband, she has been working at my company for the last 3 months on a work visa.

The only real concern I have is that she doesn't seem too interested in her bible study. I have tried many different things, but they haven't seem to have taken yet. I even tried to have her use a coloring book. She did a fairly decent job with that (didn't always stay in the lines though. ha ha ha)

Well, now I have to introduce her to my parents this weekend, and I'm freaked out. My Mom hates the French anyway, and if my girlfriend isn't a Christian by then I don't know what she is going to do.

Honestly, I can't ask her to marry me unless she shares the same faith I do. How would we have any peace in bringing up our children if we can't walk them along the same path?

Thanks for reading my question, and God Bless you!

As many Christians have been involved in the invention, production, deployment and use of nuclear weapons, would their use be acceptable for the efficient conversion or destruction of other faiths, and non-believers, in non Christian countries?

Would the Christian God approve?

Recent research indicates that the happiest people are religious and spend great amounts of "family time" together. Irregardless of all the arguments for or against proof of the existance of God, doesn't this prove that God is "good for us"?
