I just found out two days ago, that my family will be unable to pay the mortgage come January. We've made our last payment and there isn't enough money coming in. This would be a shame if it happened, because we're so close to paying off the house. Yet with no money coming in, we can't live here...

This phrase is very common, and has been for who knows how long, but does not come from the bible in any quotable manner. Yet I believe it is true. God does not do things for us in the sense of he will not float food into our mouths and chew it for us, he will not put dollars in our pocket...

The verses surrounding this are speaking about boasting about things you have yet to do, and it is most likely that this refers to doing something good now instead of doing something good later for we are not sure we will be here.

I didn't mention anything about your denomination so I don't understand why you feel it necessary to mention something about mine, and no it's not exempt. This is my personal feeling, this has nothing to do with any teachings of the Lutheran doctrine. I've been consistently asking you what you...

Fairy tales do not become religion, as religion does not become fairy tales. Through the course of history, man has been able to separate this. We know Jack and the bean stalk or little red ridding hood aren't religion, and we know that the pagan gods were worshiped. This idea that we've...

If we do, then I'm not following whatever rule there is. I listen to mostly instrumental pieces. I hardly listen to any music with lyrics, I'm listening for the music not a message.

This assumes that college will be a step in your life, no matter in which order. I may never find myself having gone to college, but you never know. Currently I'm deciding what to do with my life, and it looks like it's going in the direction of CAD design at a trade school. After that, I...

Uh...okay I guess? I wasn't the one making the case that masturbation was a sin, you were. It seemed like you wanted to drop the subject but replied again anyways with more "proof".

I wasn't aware that genitals were secret things. “The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law." Seems more like the mysteries of the universe and how exactly God works are...

It never existed as wicked in God's eyes, so how it could continue is rather a meaningless question. It does not mention anywhere in the bible directly that anyone can point out and find, that masturbation is a sin.

Genesis 38:6-10 6Judah got a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar. 7But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the Lord’s sight; so the Lord put him to death. 8Then Judah said to Onan, “Lie with your brother’s wife and fulfill your duty to her as a...

Do please show us where it says in the good book, where it is defined as a sin. I can find no such verses.

The problem arises though when women come into the picture. People often associate masturbation only with men, and therefore only think men can commit a "sin" of masturbation via spilling seed. Women cannot spill seed, and if you wish to count menstruation, they have no choice in the matter...

Uh..ok? Not sure how you see this as some huge turning point in your argument. I never made any claims that everyone except a select few aren't Christian, nor did I even mention anything related to it.

This is a hypothetical discussion, it's ridiculous and speculation filled intentionally. If you were looking for a serious discussion, you've come to the wrong thread. I did not point out anything of the sort. In 2010, there were 2.30 billion Christians in the world, an increase of 300...

To an Atheist maybe, since you have already decided Christianity or any other religion is not your way, you have a bias, as I do. However the idea that because this new species would not practice a religion invalidates the religion doesn't make any sense, even from just a human perspective. If...

You've basically just repeated yourself and not pointed out anything earth shattering. I'm not claiming anything, so please do not assume what I'm going to say before I say it. I haven't said anything negative against Atheism and assumed you are the "typical Atheist" that most Christians...

There are humans on earth who do not believe in Christianity, why would life on other planets not having those beliefs present a problem, or invalidate it, anymore than human atheists do?

Then every male who has ever gone through puberty has committed adultery and is damned to Hell. Might as well touch while you still can.

The bible says nothing about life on other planets because it's not important. No where in the bible does it say life was only created on this planet, and it could be that somewhere out there, there is another species, or another mass group of humans living on a similar earth like planet. So...
