    I didn't know exactly where to post this, so I'm posting this here.. Merry Christmas!

    O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining, It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth. Long lay the world in sin and error pining. Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth. A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices, For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn...

    Matthew 7 and modern day Christian hypocrisy

    Hi Prodromos, the main point is that the marriage rate in MA has stayed basically the same, while the divorce rate has plummeted after legalizing same-sex marriage. Hopefully the following statistics and facts elucidate this subject more clearly for you.. For example, Sweden legalized...

    Matthew 7 and modern day Christian hypocrisy

    Actually it does, quite succinctly. If you're apparently somehow unaware of that, I really don't know how elucidating further would be of any benefit for you.

    Matthew 7 and modern day Christian hypocrisy

    Hi Prodomos, yes I do: Massachusetts’ marriage rate increased 16 percent in the year after it legalized same-sex marriage, largely thanks to an influx of same-sex couples getting married in the state. Since then, the marriage rate has stabilized, hovering at a level around Massachusetts’ rate...

    Hi Thekla, simply Google the following and there's a PDF you can read that answers all your questions about this: Red States, Blue States, and Divorce : Understanding Regional Variation in Divorce Rates Jennifer Glass and Philip Levchak University of Iowa Draft submitted for the 2011 annual...

    Matthew 7 and modern day Christian hypocrisy

    No problem! For the parameters you'd have to go to the sites and look yourself. Interestingly enough, the state with the lowest divorce rate, Massachusetts, was also the first state to legalize same-sex marriage, in 2004. (Massachusetts’s divorce rate has actually drastically declined...

    Matthew 7 and modern day Christian hypocrisy

    Thekla, "To be able to post links or images your post count must be 50 or greater. You currently have 35 posts." I’m unable to post links to the sources since I’ve only made 35 posts, so I'm vindicated of your earlier problem with me substantiating my sources by books rather than...

    Matthew 7 and modern day Christian hypocrisy

    I'm not mistaken; simply do the math. It is clearly at least half of most congregations and in many cases more than half: 83% of this country identifies as Christian yet we have a 50% divorce rate for first marriages, a 67% divorce rate for 2nd marriages, and a 73% divorce rate for 3rd marriages...

    Matthew 7 and modern day Christian hypocrisy

    St_Worm2 said: "For instance, when Madalyn Murray O'Hair used a Bible verse as proof that atheism is true, it wasn't that she misquoted Psalm 14:1, rather, she took it so completely out of context that the intended meaning of those words was lost. IOW, while the Bible absolutely says "there is...

    Matthew 7 and modern day Christian hypocrisy

    Um.. Luke 16:18 “Any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery." The Bible says that anyone who obtains a divorce and marries another is an adulterer (unless the spouse has committed...

    Matthew 7 and modern day Christian hypocrisy

    I'm sorry but I disagree. My whole post is about the fact that over half of Christians cherry pick and ignore the clear teachings about adultery while they seemingly gleefully use other verses to vilify and condemn gay people with. That said, here's what the main message of the New Testament...

    Can anyone deny this history of persecution?

    The only 'lying' going on here is the denial of the historical reality on this subject that all the many university level books I shared with you substantiate, while accusing 'me' of lying about it, which proves the truth of the following verse: 1 Timothy 4:1-2 "But the Spirit explicitly says...

    Can anyone deny this history of persecution?

    It's obvious no one here cares about this subject of persecution and murder perpetrated under the name of Christ anyway, but I guarantee you that Jesus does. I say again: The Christians who always say that it isn't 'them' that is judging gay people for their sins, but that 'God' is the one...

    Can anyone deny this history of persecution?

    It's a subject I've been studying in depth for many years, and the authors of all the many books I listed for you are well of aware of its truth. I'm sorry if you think sharing the story of millions of people who have been persecuted, imprisoned, tortured and murdered in the name of Christ is...
