Well since we're shouting, Why would you ask me that question? Why don't you just ask homosexual couples that question? I'm sure they'd be happy to tell you.
Persecution complex much? The only sad thing around here is the fossilization of human thought, and scripture does that quite nicely.
You are assuming I have never spoken to anybody who could read those languages. That pastor at my old church could, for example. He showed the church some of the common mistranslations that existed.
Of course. Why didn't I think of that. Ok so I'll bite... how about some of those "mistranslations"? An example would be nice.
Then why did you attach it to my remarks? Why didn't you ask that question in a separate post?It's an open forum. Was directed to whomever thought they wanted to answer the question. Homosexual or not.
Jesus Christ enslaves your mind. That's why you're so stubborn and locked into god of the dessert dogma regarding homosexuality. None of this affects you personally. It doesn't impede on your lifestyle. It doesn't take anything away from you or your relationship.Jesus Christ sets you free.

All we have in people like you, is stone age thinking meets 21st century internet. Scarier yet - stone age thinking now controls 21st century weapons.
I'm afraid I don't have some handy link to point you to, since this was the pastor at my old church that pointed this out and he wasn't exactly the Internet type.
This does bring up an interesting question, and since this thread involves the Pope, let me just ask you this:
I am going to assume you are not a Catholic. If that is true, then you follow sola scripture. The problem is upon who's authority does your interpretation of the scripture rest? When I was a Christian, if I read the Bible and then you did, and we had some disagreements on points, who would be correct?
If I have a verse that points to my ideas, and you have one that points to yours, who is there to settle these differences? Different churches have different takes and interpretations, so who is correct? Why are they correct and not others?
Since you have not given the slightest shred of evidence that a god exists you are a slave to mythology, nothing more.Are you getting a little hot under the collar? Feeling a little frustrated? Let me guess your mind is screaming something along these lines right about now -
"HOW DARE someone ask me a question like that!! What does he think I am gay?!!?"
It was attached to your remarks because that's where I chose to ask it.
Indeed I am a slave to Christ. Because if you aren't a slave to Christ you are a slave to the evil one who seeks to kill, steal and destroy your life. Take your pick and make your stand. There are NO alternatives.

Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
So a PH.D Geneticist that works for one of the best known research institutions in the world is now a dog and or swine, lol that is funny stuff.You know I was just ready to reply to you when God reminded me:
I'm still waiting for the reference. We can't move on until you provide a mistranslated scripture for me.

Green horse vs pale horse. It's still a horse and the rider is still death. No matter what color is used to describe it that doesn't change the nature of what it is.
My pastor is from the Baltimore area. Maybe you could tell me the name of your old pastor and I can see if mine can't help me locate him. I'm dying of curiosity to know what passages were mistranslated.
Not in the least. Are you?Are you getting a little hot under the collar? Feeling a little frustrated?
Not even close.Let me guess your mind is screaming something along these lines right about now -

You can believe in whatever you want. That's fine by me. But keep it to yourself and stop trying to force it on everyone else, and we'll get along just fine.Indeed I am a slave to Christ.

And since I of course do not believe he exists that means nothing to me just as it meant nothing to Einstein, Watson, Crick, Hawking or most of the other great minds of ours or any other time.God isn't going to look at you at the judgment and say "Oh you did great work as a geneticist, come sit with me at my table."
He'll just check to see if you believed upon His Son as your salvation.
Your accolades aren't impressive to Him. Who you work for and what you do mean nothing to Him.
There is no language on earth that can be 100% directly and accurately translated into any other language, that is fact.Green horse vs pale horse. It's still a horse and the rider is still death. No matter what color is used to describe it that doesn't change the nature of what it is.

Not in the least. Are you?
Not even close.
I don't have hatred and disdain towards gays, so, I wouldn't take offense at someone mistakenly assuming I was gay. (like you did, but you still refuse to admit that's why you attached your question to my remarks) Give up on the red herrings and mind reading. Come clean, and just admit that you thought you were addressing your question to a gay person, and that you made a mistake. Is that too difficult for you? Does your ego not allow you to admit a mistake?
Your in the wrong forum on the wrong internet site to have an expectation like that.You can believe in whatever you want. That's fine by me. But keep it to yourself and stop trying to force it on everyone else, and we'll get along just fine.
