“Eventually evil so captivates and enslaves humanity that the climactic end time of history will arrive … [when] Christ returns to Earth as the victor and God’s Kingdom is established for all eternity.” My dear Friend, making such a Rapture-affirming claim either evidences that your God is indeed a petty & capricious tyrant (and […]
You then allude to 1 Peter 1:23 to somehow claim that Vanessa and I do not “understand the Word of God” because we have apparently not been “born again” to your satisfaction … I sincerely wonder, Lucy, how many times I will have to explain how Jesus felt about this concept before you will finally […]
Now this one is a real problem for all you folks out there trying to claim that homosexuality itself is a sin, for the simple reason that science is now starting to prove pretty conclusively that homosexuality is not “chosen” at all, which means – if homosexuality is indeed a sin – that God is […]
Essentially, to avoid falling into the cesspool of hypocrisy that Jesus himself detested (see Matthew 23, pretty much the whole chapter), evangelicals who use two verses from Leviticus to damn an entire subset of “sinners” to Hell means that they also have to adhere to all the verses in that sa,e scroll … As I […]
As this discussion alone has clearly evidenced (not to mention the millions of “progressive Christians” who agree with me, and the hundreds – if not the thousands – of Biblical scholars who happen to agree with me as well), there are a quite a few theological contradictions in the Bible – the most significant of […]
You then claim that “The Bible is a blueprint for a way to live” and that “Scripture is likened unto seed in many places.” Fair enough. I actually happen to agree with you here. And yet if this is indeed the case, the question must be posed: Why do you refuse to let the […]
“God placed certain desires in mankind for the opposite sex, but He asks man curb his natural desire to have more than one woman and stick solely with the one he married.” My dear Friend, this statement, of course, is fully false on soooo many fronts – both those scientific as well as those biblical […]
You continue on by stating that “You think God accepts all sin!” – a statement which is, of course, completely false … It is not that I think God accepts all sin, my dear, it is that I have faith that God (if He exists, and if He exists in any form worth worshiping) fully […]
“You say we judge others – [and yet this is] wrong! To quote God’s Word is not judging!!!” Lucy, in order to “quote God’s words” – unless you are merely reading them aloud as poetry, is to use them in a certain way and share them with a certain intent. And it is extremely […]
“It is very plain to see that you like to bash Christians for their beliefs in the Word of God as a whole, without picking & choosing like you do … You and Vanessa are the ones calling people bigots and haters and arrogant.” You know Lucy, I can actually see how you could […]
“You will never ever change the way Christians see the Word of God, for GOD DOES NOT CHANGE.” Yes, even though there are almost as many different versions of “the Word of God” as there are Christians (with the majority of Christians on the planet seeing the Bible & God & Jesus & salvation […]
