    Do you think it's Christian to own guns?

    Owning guns is irrelevant to Christianity. However, if your personal walk says you shouldn't own one, then don't own one. That is as far as it goes.

    Is the theory of evolution moral and ethical

    Actually, that is not inherently true. If it was, then there would be no Christians that also accept evolutionary theory is something God could have used to bring us about.

    Is the theory of evolution moral and ethical

    You missed my point, I don't actually expect God being a part of the equation when I study things of science, I do not need to fill in the gaps with the God I choose to believe in and never stated that I do. Evolutionary theory is what it is, if it is correct, then I don't worry that somehow...

    Is the theory of evolution moral and ethical

    Yes, I agree for the most part, I chose to believe that the God of the bible exists, I actually do not need to prove it in order to have that faith. I am not lacking in the understanding that science continually discovers new things, whether it be evolution of any kind or life on other...

    Is the theory of evolution moral and ethical

    My point still stands, doesn't matter what type of evolution you point to. If you say God is needed, you will not be able to use science to say that the God you believe in is actually the absolute source. Evolutionists that say God is not needed because of Darwinian evolution cannot actually...

    Is the theory of evolution moral and ethical

    The arguments that go back and forth in most of these evolution threads are just people mining others peoples work and presenting it as being the proof of one side or another. If someone tries to use science to disprove the God of the bible, they are doing it wrong, science makes no statement...

    Is the theory of evolution moral and ethical

    The theory of Evolution is a scientific work in progress as is many other things in science. Christians who get all worked up over it have been fed a bill of goods that only shows they have allowed their faith to be dependant upon the lack of scientific evidence. Those who simply see...

    Sexism and Religion

    What does it mean exactly that the bible can be adapted to any era when there are passages in the old testament instructing parents to kill off their disobedient children. See, and trying not to offend. If it takes the bible to show you promiscuity may not end well, what actually would...

    Sexism and Religion

    Yeah, even though the main definitions of subservient means to be a less important subordinate or to obey unquestionably. Which when directed in the context of a woman, speaks for itself.

    Sexism and Religion

    Yes, WOW, just because someone can make a case using the "bible" doesn't mean it is right. We can look at history concerning that, all kinds of wrong has been done by quoting "scripture" in the bible to say it means this or that. Oh, I disagree , so I must therefore be defying some saint of...

    Sexism and Religion

    The standard of Reality. Here is a church environment that specifically tells women that they must have MALE approval. WOW

    Sexism and Religion

    What part of "expecting Women to be the submissive gender" is generalizing? There are churches that teach that, there is no generalization here. And on one hand YES, if a church does not allow women to be in any of those roles, it is a sexist environment. It has nothing to do with...

    Sexism and Religion

    To quote myself "But among the churches that expect women to be the subservient gender" That is the specific environment I am talking about, there is no generalization there. In that same post, I pointed out that what the OP (the persons post that started this thread) was talking about will...

    I was specific about the religious environment that I was speaking of.

    Sexism and Religion

    While we are called to be servants, that isn't even close to what I am talking about, and I know you know that. You are simply deflecting the reality of many Christian environments. Many Christian environments that Women continue to willingly go to are male dominated and they teach that...
