Is this adressed to me? If so, I'd like to prepare a really good answer for you since I wrote my one of my senior theses on this. But I'll need a day to do it. Would that be ok?

I have never heard "scatological" used in that context. That is hillarious!

No kidding, my in-laws are French. They except two kisses the second you walk in the door and two on your way out, even if you don't know them. :D

Quit picking on the kid. Your almost 20 years older than him. Jeez. ;) Let me take a shot at this. Yes, people misinterpret the Bible all the time, sometimes intentionally and sometimes unintentionally. It isn't so much a matter of using a specific method as it is knowing your stuff. The Bible...

Hey Drew, if you want to teach, you need to go take some classes. Trust me on this one. You have no idea how much you don't know until you are taught by someone with a PhD. :) I wish you the best in your calling, just be careful not to get sidetracked with the sensational.

Ah baptists... they're all the same. Self-righteous, pious wind-bags... the whole lot of 'em. :) It would be pretty sad if the small amount of power given to pastors corrupted them. I think that that quote is referring to people in absolute power roles. You may want to check the context.

They're morons. Any translation of the Bible are supposed to be objective and scholarly. I doubt this group is capable of either.

Beanieboy, In your OP, you said: You objection to this is due to, I'm going to try to be a gentle as possible here, what sounds like a hypersensitivity. So I am left to assume that the reason for the heightened state of sensitivity is due to having been hurt pretty bad in the past by...

LOL... the first one you posted before you went and edited it. It was something about how were non-jews reconciled prior to Jesus birth or something like that. So I answered the question that you replaced it with, you sly dog ;) Take it or leave it, that's your answer. :)

That sounds good to me. What was it that we were disagreeing on? :) Ok, who said that? This statement isn't the same thing as the one above though. I see how one could understand that as a mixed message, but are we just supposed to throw those verses out? Do you have kids? I do, and...

I disagree about which part you call the subjective part but its really more an argument of semantics. The proccess by which we make the decision on our moral standard may be either subjective or objective. To assert that someones choice was made subjectively or objectively is a difficult...

Ok, I'l bite... How is the Biblical standard of morality subjective? second question answer: Well you could just trust me and choose the same one I did, or you can investigate each and may the decision on your own. Let's not get sidetracked. The point is that good and bad/right and wrong...

First of all, what the heck is CHL? Second, whoever would dream of of hurting any homosexual, lesbian or anyone else of any other orientation, for that matter, if I got word of it first, would have to go through me first. I've got your back bro. a BTW... it sucks that you feel threatened...

you ain't jokin' friend. 5-year-olds freak me out! :D

Actually it was a rhetorical question. The standard we are held to is pretty clear in the Bible. That's the beauty of having a standard, answers to questions like that do not have to be subjective. Ever had the urge to kill someone? Their are a lot of people who have that urge and follow...

Well, I was going to answer your other question before you edited your post and changed it, but now I think I'll abstain for a moment. :) So, are you asking because you want to know or because you are testing me? ;) Since the Jews had not yet heard the gospel or weren't privvy to the...

That sucks. Great story though.That probably wasn't the best way to approach the topic, but it really is a moral imperative for Christians to express their concern for their loved ones' salvation. It is not an act of prideful judgement, hopefully, but you'd have to ahte someone pretty bad to NOT...

yes, yes, and yes. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. The beuaty of the gospel message is not that we're all generally good and jesus loves us so we get to go to heaven. The beauty is that Jesus loves us in spite of our sin and by God's great mercy, all who believe on Jesus...

She kind of misses the whole point of Christianity.... and she's kinda creepy too.

So, are we not bad? Do we not need forgiveness?
