    Adam's Creation

    Mwhahaha. A clever trap, laid to drive home my point about OCD forum participants. You feel right into it, you silly man. Again, I laugh at your folly. Mwhahaha. (No, this has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that I can't spell and never use a spell-checker. Nothing at all.) :blush:

    Adam's Creation

    Truth is truth for everyone. You should not have to seperate your beliefs about God and your beliefs about the natural world. Spiritual beliefs are not just for church, and if you truely believe them, you should feel comfortable discussing them as truth in any relevent setting. This...

    Adam's Creation

    I'm somewhat surprised to find that the self-righteous, self-egradizing tones so common in the Christian posts have found their homologs here. It is simply ignorant to say that theorizing is specific to science alone. As you may or may not know, what we know today as science grew out of...

    Adam's Creation

    I've recently been laughed out of a scientific debate at my University for asserting my belief in the Divine Creation of Adam and Eve. I've been studying a lot about theories regarding the creation, and would like some imput. As a premise, obviously the Bible is not very imformative on the...

    Is there such a thing as a Christian homosexual?

    Okay, I give up. Obviously you can't have this kind of conversation without people throwing up all the same cliches and arguements. I should have called this thread something else. Having the old love the sinner conversation is pointless, and if everyone just wants to keep talking about that...

    Is there such a thing as a Christian homosexual?

    My question is: can we talk about the subject of homosexuality in the context of Christianity without automatically being termed a bigot and homophobe. I have not been hateful or spiteful in any of my comments, and I obviously don't think I have any right to hate gays because of their acts...

    Is there such a thing as a Christian homosexual?

    That was not my argument in the slightest. Obviously the new gospel of Christ usurps the law of Moses. But many of the laws of Moses are redundant in the gospel of Christ, such as murder and lying. So I was saying you can't necessarily say just because it's in the OT that it is irrelevent to...

    Is there such a thing as a Christian homosexual?

    I don't want to turn this discussion into a tedious study exchange, but the most recent review article of the studies done on homosexual origin and development (Mustanski et al. A critical review of recent biological research on human sexual orientation. [Review] Annual Review of Sex Research...

    Is there such a thing as a Christian homosexual?

    I think these are good points, and I agree that it's not my place to judge another person. If he wants to call himself a Christian, who the hell am I to tell him that he's not. I have no problem with that. But as Christians we are under an obligation to define and clarify the commandments--to...

    Is there such a thing as a Christian homosexual?

    What is your opinion on this. If you were convinced that the Bible clearly forbid lesbianism, would you reject Christianity, reject those teachings specifically, or reject those teachings in our modern day. :scratch: I really do want to know: not being confrontational. Obviously you have...

    Is there such a thing as a Christian homosexual?

    I have serious problems with your reading into those verses like that. I've read the context of those verses and there is nothing to refer them in that context. You're trying to fit the meaning to what you want. Now granted, there's nothing there that stops you from interpreting them that...

    Is there such a thing as a Christian homosexual?

    That was a great response, and in almost every regard I agree with you. I am not asking if we should go out and attack gay rights. I am wondering for my personal belief system whether I can accept homosexuality as on par with God's gospel. I am in no way advocating hate or intolerance. One...
