From a Christian perspective you can't really support abortion in any case. I mean once if God allowed it to be conceived who are you to kill that child?

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats...

Christian love and charity clearly in action in the above post. You can't insult them or dislike them. You have to reach out to them, of course. You must love them but never their sins. The above poster is really a bad example of a Christian I'd say. Love thy neighbor was one of the most...

If you don't believe in right and wrong, you forfeit your right to argue. Right and wrong do not exist. Therefore, you cannot argue, for when you argue for or against something, you argue that that thing is either right or wrong. Also 'there are no absolutes' is void of logic. Either there are...

I've heard that Mennonites refuse to take judicial oaths (from one of their tracts). Supposedly you can choose to refuse to take an oath. Either way persecution is supposedly the natural result of True Christianity. A lot of Christians go behind verses to find different meanings. It's...

You're a Christian. A good judge of what's right and wrong is whether or not you'll be ridiculed by the majority of non-Christians by it. Granted, liking, let's say, X Band would get you ridiculed by people who like Y Band but if you don't like any non-Christian musicians whatsoever people would...

@Hetta One in Christ does not equal One in the World. Also, you ignore all those 5 verses which tell women to submit to their husbands, which I have quoted time and time again. In Christ, and spiritually, there are neither men nor women, nor slave nor rich, but that by no means means that men...

On the one hand 'friendship evangelism' might work, but on the other what if it doesn't? Isn't it a big risk to put off preaching to someone so that you can get to know them better? I certainly don't think that's what Jesus would do. They might not live to see the morrow, after all.

How about people who don't feel they've done anything wrong and feel perfectly content with 'perfecting themselves'? I don't think simply preaching them Jesus' love would help them out at all. 'Sure, Jesus loves me! Sweet. He gave His life for me? Sweeter...' But they wouldn't appreciate it...

I've heard it said that wedding rings aren't acceptable, as well. No pearls or gold, after all. Who are we to compromise what the Bible says? Of course the heart matters, but what's in the heart should come out. If you have a modest heart, you should dress modestly. Of course if you can't...

I didn't say men were more modest by nature. The problem with dress nevertheless (regardless of the cause of the problem) lies more with women then with men. Yes, modesty is more than just appearance, but you can't say that there's more to an orange than just the flesh as an excuse to say that...

Outside of Church as well. The -young- women typically wear short skirts outside of Church (they sometimes wear worse shirts in Church than out) The men, regardless of them being in Church or out, are nearly always wearing pants. The only time I've seen them wearing shorts is 1) at basketball...

Regardless of whether or not you're right I don't see how it considerably changes my post. Nor does it have anything to do with the broader subject of Biblical modesty. It's quite revealing that you choose to pick out the word 'obsessed' instead of replying to my previous post.

Amen to Jimbo! I agree entirely. There's too much emphasis on 'God's Love' in modern Christianity and not enough emphasis on God's Righteousness and Justice.. If you simply tell a person that God loves them they won't be truly converted because they'll never know why that matters. They need to...

I would have to agree with WindBreath on this one, although I would like to note that while men and women are equal before the eyes of God, here on Earth men have been given more authority then women.

The Bible tells us to be a people separated from the world, and the expectations of the world should matter little to us. I could also point out that Biblically women are expected more to be homemakers than workers. (For example the fact that when the ground was cursed it was for Adam's sake and...

What does it even matter if the Greek word in the NT and Greek word in the OT are the same? The OT was originally in Hebrew. Many words cannot be appropriately translated, or not with their full meaning, at least. The OT and NT were written in different languages and thus your 'evidence' is...

Oh, I think Men have to dress modestly as well, although for them I believe it's less of a problem because standard dress for men is typically more modest than that of women. (For example men are supposed to wear pants whereas women can get away with dresses at knee-level.) Also because it seems...

Philosophy: The Art of talking about nothing of any importance while confusing those around you into believing that you are actually doing something valuable and scientific.

The whole 'out of context' argument is not only vague but ridiculous. For example, I use this verse 'out of context'. Titus 2:4-5. "so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their...
