How does God's infinite love during life suddenly turn into eternal punishment at death for those that don't choose Him? If salvation is a mere offer, then we've made it into a business transaction. This doesn't make for much of an argument for free will.

It seems that any time that a Christian makes a statement about sin, right and wrong, or Truth, unbelievers howl, "Judge not, that ye be not judged!".

Do you really think you're correcting us with your one-verse theology?

(By the way, that's Matthew 7:1 so you can REALLY sound like you know the Bible!)

I'm talking about MARRIAGE - I know the Adam and Eve story, and there are many examples of male-female couples in the Bible (and some with one man and many women). What I want to know is: Is there a verse that states that marriage is only for one man and one woman? Does the Bible even define "marriage" anywhere? If so, where?

I believe if God was smart he would get me out of my problems, and I would follow him all the way. I've suffered mentally, and physically coz I didn't want to sin against God. I try my best to be a good christian, but God doesn't seem to care for my life. He makes me doubt of his power and I've had enough so it doesn't worth it to let God destroy my life by waiting on him.

"I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people; I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world. But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler--not even to eat with such a one. For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within the church? But those who are outside, God judges. REMOVE THE WICKED MAN FROM AMONG YOURSELVES." - 1 Corinthians 5:9-13

Clearly, this passage tells us that we are to judge "so-called brothers" within the church and that we are to remove wicked men from the church (which requires "judging" who is wicked).

I admit that I disobeyed God and I got into real trouble and want him to end my life now coz my life's all mess up now as a result of disobedience. But, why after months of prayer he doesn't turn my mistakes for my good. He makes me realize that he forgives but he doesn't forget and no matter how hard I pray he'll make me pay triple for my sin. So, I'm just gonna stop praying and save this time to work harder on my life instead, to make up my past mistakes. God is just not fair.

There is such a huge debate about homosexuals and God. So many people are saying "Oh, Gay people are bad and they can't inherit god's kingdom." Their basis for this is 1Corinth. 6:9, 10. But WHY do people take one part of the bible and disregard the other? Are you aware that in that scripture which talks about homosexuals not inheriting God's Kingdom- fornicators, adulterers, drunkards, idolators, revilers, extortioners- among many- are included? So those people that are pointing their fingers at homosexuals- take a look at urself. No doubt 90% of the world is-if not ALL- guilty of at least one of these....


So it's not only homosexuals. Let not a man take one part of the bible and judge someone else when he is sinning himself. So don't think that because you aren't gay, you in the clear and OK. The bible lists several people who aren't going to inherit that kingdom of God b/c of their actions.

I love good humor. I love to laugh. I have hanging in my bathroom a picture. Tell me this isn't funny...
A toothbrush and a roll of toilet paper are sitting on the bathroom counter. the toothbrush says, "sometimes I feel like I have the worse job in the world." The roll of toilet paper says, "Ya, right"
