    Chicago Chick-fil-A Owner to Mayor: We Create Jobs

    It still utterly fascinates me that those who encourage homosexuals to engage in practices that will lead to their damnation in God's judgment AND greatly reduce their average life span in this life consider themselves loving and supportive of homosexuals but those same people consider...

    Gay Pastors

    The times may change but God does not. He is holy and calls men to be holy and the standards for the leaders of the church are established by God, NOT men.

    Eternal torment is not a Bible doctrine

    Okay, so answer these questions. The wages of sin is WHAT? The soul that sinneth does WHAT? We are to fear the one who can do WHAT to body and soul in hell? And of course the answers to these questions are that the wages of sin is death, the soul that sinneth dies and we are to fear the one...

    Eternal torment is not a Bible doctrine

    Methinks you are so wedded to the doctrines of men, nothing will change your mind about the ultimate fate of lost men. The Bible simply does NOT support this idea of eternal torment for any more than three specific entitites and I would suggest you go back to church history to see when it...

    Eternal torment is not a Bible doctrine

    Hades, Sheol, Gehenna and Tartaroo are ALL translated into 'hell' in the English. YOU are the one who claimed that Matthew 25:41 was talking about 'hell' when none of the words for hell are used in that passage. And since you want to play games, 'hell' does appear in Revelation 20:14 in my...

    Eternal torment is not a Bible doctrine

    There are four words used in the Bible to denote hell (Gehenna, Sheol, Hades and Tartaroo) and NONE of these words are used in the passage you cited. And clearly hell is not the lake of fire since Revelation tells us hell is thrown into the lake of fire. The burden of proof? Have you never...

    Eternal torment is not a Bible doctrine

    The ultimate help in understanding scripture is God's Holy Spirit. Someone who is blinded to the truth can read scripture diligently and come no closer to understanding. Even Satan quotes scripture for his own purposes. There are positions on the meaning of scripture (such as eternal torment in...

    Eternal torment is not a Bible doctrine

    "Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels." None of the words for 'hell' are used in these passages. I think it is the lake of fire that is being referred to here. They do speak of 'everlasting...

    Gay rights activists to hold kiss protests at Chick-fil-A restaurants

    I think you're right ... it's just the way he worded that left it highly ambiguous.

    Eternal torment is not a Bible doctrine

    I am a Christian who happens to attend a Methodist church. My only criteria for picking a church to attend is that it adheres to what the Bible teaches; it doesn't mean I may necessarily subscribe to all the doctrines of the denomination as a whole. It is not uncommon for the doctrines of men...

    Gay rights activists to hold kiss protests at Chick-fil-A restaurants

    As a Christian the only restriction on who I marry is that she be a fellow believer. I have not come across ANY scripture which would forbid fellow believers to marry based on race and yes, I DO study the Bible diligently.

    Gay rights activists to hold kiss protests at Chick-fil-A restaurants

    Tis a mighty bold and interesting thing for any mayor to in essence say ... "God's word doesn't fit with our community standards" (His word didn't fit the community standards in Sodom or Gomorrah either)

    What scripture are you referring to that was used in making interracial marriage illegal?

    Gay rights activists to hold kiss protests at Chick-fil-A restaurants

    This is turning into an Abbott and Costello routine like 'Who is on first'. 'It is not for us to judge what God commands' is much clearer in meaning than 'what God commands is NOT for us to judge' ... clarity in language is a good thing Leap.

    Eternal torment is not a Bible doctrine

    Are the words there or not? They are there and it is ridiculous IMO to think 'oh, we can just ignore those passages because they keep using the same few words'.

    Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day apparently successful

    Obviously other people DO have a problem with God directly telling us things because when He is quoted directly whether on marriage or sexual immorality the indignation and accusations of 'hate speech' come out ... sounds kind of upset to me.

    Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day apparently successful

    Hate speech? God doesn't warn us about sin because He hates us but because He loves us and wants us to avoid those things that harm us. God didn't create marriage as the union of a man and a woman to deprive any man or woman of any good thing. And considering the number of politicians who...

    Is Polygamy a sin?

    So feel free to point out the errors. More importantly though look to what Jesus taught about marriage as He corrected MANY error filled doctrines that men had embraced that were contrary to the will of God (from slavery, to rape, to divorce to how many people one can marry).

    Gay rights activists to hold kiss protests at Chick-fil-A restaurants

    Well Leap, as the saying goes about Americans and Englishmen, we are two people divided by a common language. If you might say "what God commands is for us to judge" that clearly means we are to judge so when you throw a 'not' in there "what God commands is NOT for us to judge" it means the...
