Could this single Bible passage DEVASTATE the anti-social political agendas of the "Religious" Radical Right?

Question

Please see the passage, and my reasoning for asking for your opinions about this, here:

http://pro-christian.blogspot.com

I wrote the article, and it's the background for my question.

To "Common Sense" -- One of two things is obvious. Either you didn't read the referenced background article with comprehension... or you have allowed yourself to become VERY brainwashed with disinformation.

To "Wider_Scope" (the one whose nick didn't appear below the avatar) -- Suggest you RE-read the article more carefully.

To "Danielle" -- Since I **am** a Christian, if I were to do something as dumb as that, I'd be lying.

To "Stormchaser" -- You, too, obviuously did NOT read the article (or other items on the page) with comprehension. Or are blind to the FACTS.

To "RajinCajin" -- More than a *quadrillion* potential people are electively aborted DAILY, worldwide, while the RRR Cultists hypocritically look the other way and whistle a tune. The Stage One reproductive process entities (gametes; sperm & ova) are human, ALIVE, and indispensible to ALL ultimate births, just as the other three stages are.

And, I made NO renarks about "the bad things that Christians do." The article was **entirely** about the bad things that hateful PSEUDO-Christians do... and made quite clear the vast difference between the two groups.

To "RajinCajin" -- It was YOU who (unfairly) applied pejoratives, when you claimed that I made remarks about "bad things Christians do." I simply pointed out that you are wrong. Christians and bigotry go together like oil and water. Those losers who hatefully seek to deprive vital liberties to millions of people for NO good reason are nothing but pseudo-Christians, at best. The 6% of **professing** Christians in America who follow the propaganda of False Teachers.

To "battle-ax" -- <> **Everyone** allows evil to pervade society every time they let a white lie go unchallenged! And there's a Commandment against lying. NOT so for most of the rights that the hateful busybodies seek to destroy for millions.

Answer 1

They beat the Bible, yet know little of what's inside.
Like ever other form of religious extremist, they pick and choose what to believe, and the passages that relate to their thought pattern.

My BF was once a novice priest, so he can quote the bible like no one else I know. The bible states that man must not lie with man as with woman, and in the same passage also states that consuming SHELLFISH is a sin.

Maybe the RRR's should consider that next time they sit down to one of their all-you-can-eat lobster dinners at their 5k-a-plate "Family Values" fundraisers.


EDIT -

Common Sense: Your name is another irony, because you don't have an iota of it.

Answer 2

I think Jenny Kim may wish to stone me. As for what is included in the Homosexual Agenda; I have no idea. It is the title of a new v-cast that I saw. It seems to just keep everyone informed on issues involving the civil liberties of all people. In reality there should be a Homosexual Agenda. Just has I am sure that every other group that has been denied civil liberties has had. On a more personal note to Jenny Kim, I would guess the only time you go to the Castro is during the fairs so you can complain. And if you chose a spouse purely based on the fact that he was the opposite sex; please do not have children. They do deserve a loving home even if you do not think you do.

Answer 3

Wow, you are way off base!!!

Here's something to think about that I learned as a kid.

THE ENDS DO NOT JUSTIFY THE MEANS!!!!

That last comment was based on, to quote you, "Abortion is nothing but a hugely-valuable remedy..." A remedy to what? Their is still a life lost. Last time I checked we are called to protect innocent life. In the end abortion takes away the greatest gift our creator has given us, life!

And your quote about gay marriage, "...and that means that some folks who otherwise would likely contract HIV/AIDS via casual sex". I personal don't care if gays get married or not since it is a choice between all affected parties unlike abortion. However, we live in a representative democracy and Christians, as everyone else, have the right for their views to be represented in our government.

It also seems that you missed the point of what Christianity is all about. Christianity is a path not a destination. You made numerous remarks about the bad things that Christians do, OK sure we all screw up but the fundamental principles of Christianity are forgiveness, mercy, and repentance. If you want to fight Christians remind us that we should be forgiving and merciful as we have been shown mercy. That we should focus on our own live before we focus on others.

As for your bible verse I don't think it will devastate any "agenda". I think every Christian should vote his or her own conscience. As far as outspoken members like P-Rob and others, well I will tell everyone if you don't like what he is saying turn the channel. Thats the same thing I tell people who complain about violence on tv. Its interesting how it works both ways.

................................................................
EDIT: Now your dealing in labels and semantics. Sorry, now you seem like the zelots you say you fight.


Just remember there will always be right and wrong regarless of what group(or label you wish to give them) promotes it!

Answer 4

I agree that the passage is devastating to certain elements in the religious right but I believe you are making a mistake. You are assuming that a few radicals speak for all the religious right. I consider myself a member of the "religious right" and I despise the way some Christian leaders have tired to push themselves into the political realm. I trust that God will require account of their actions in the end. It is God's place to judge everyone in the end, religious right included.

Answer 5

It's not a great article. The verses aren't even printed there. I had to go look them up. This passage is speaking of a particular immoral person in the church at Corinth. They were told to put him out and to not have fellowship with people like him, in the church.

It's about church governance and has nothing to do with politics and government.

You are blinded by your own bias against people you do not begin to understand. Christians do not get their rights to form associations to stop evil laws from the Bible, we get those rights from the US Constitution.

Answer 6

The Bible can be interpreted so many ways and has so many contradictory passages that using it in argument is stupid.

Just look at all the denominations of Christianity (Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Lutheran, LDS, Jehovah Witness, etc) based solely on different interpretations.

Using the Bible as supporting evidence in an argument is debate suicide.
.

Answer 7

It seems to me that the point of your post contradicts the quoted passage and your article attempts to justify your doing exactly what the passage says we shouldn't do.

Answer 8

It's called an opinion and everybody has one.....how is that anti-social? You hate christians, will tolerate everything else. May God have mercy on you.

Answer 9

So by your reasoning and deduction should we allow, evil to pervade our society?

Answer 10

It's not in the Bible, but here is one of my favorite saying, "Freedom of religion also means freedom from religion"----Hugh Hefner.
