..."I can love a person while disagreeing with their lifestyle..." <= This.I can love a person while disagreeing with their lifestyle, correct? How is that done? Biblically it means i treat them as i want treated. It doesnt however mean to approve of everything everyone does.
...and Heterosexuality? could you change this about yourself then?I don't think homosexuality is the same as race.
Of Course! and if you were, then you'd know your sexual preference isn't a "Lifestyle" that you can simply change like a set of clothes. This is the question I've been asking - would you persecute or disapprove of someone who was, say, Asian? If not, then why would you persecute/exclude/disapprove of someone based on their sexual preference? If on the other hand you would persecute or disapprove of someone who was Asian, then you need not answer any further questions.You know nothing about me. I could be gay for all you know.
Actually you can change it like clothes. You can throw away the old clothes and put on brand new ones. That's the gospel message, and thats what i do. I choose what i do, not biology. I transcend biology. I am a spirit, not mere flesh and blood.Of Course! and if you were, then you'd know your sexual preference isn't a "Lifestyle" that you can simply change like a set of clothes.

Right, So you're going to try a change of sexual preference for a couple of months then? see what it's like?Actually you can change it like clothes.

Another dodging non-answer - I thought as much... -_-Im going to put on Christ and walk in the spirit. Im going to follow the Lord who both made me and saved me.
You too.Have a good night friend.
I went though this with the other guy. If you can't handle a statement of someones personal beliefs without feeling insecure by it you shouldn't be here. Especially if you have a habit of mocking beliefs. Why don't you take some time off and work on your character. Then maybe come back when there is a constructive reason to be here.Wait, What?? So not sure what "words" I put in your mouth, but did you or didn't you say...:
... which is both a stand-alone statement not requiring context, and you literally committing an "Argument from Incredulity" fallacy - comparable to the statement I likened it to - would you disagree?
I do have a habit of mocking beliefs I feel are unfounded, but I believe this is the best way to promote critical analysis of one's belief system and their epistemology in reaching such beliefs. I apologise if it was taken as an insult, but beliefs should be challenged regularly and is a healthy process to undertake, it isn't meant as an insult.
Also, attacking the method of delivery while not addressing the content even just a little, is telling.
I believe I am the "other guy" you are refering to. If you persist in your silly claim about my handling of your statement I shall feel it appropriate to report you. Now, hopefully for the last time - and I 'd ask you to pay attention this time - here is a recap.I went though this with the other guy.

Agreed.It is interesting to see people's "opinion" of sexual preference. I've never met a gay person who doesn't feel like they were "different" from their earliest memories.
It isn't a choice, unless you can show me when you CHOSE to be HETEROSEXUAL.
If it's not a choice but rather the way one was born, how can it be different from race?
HI:You may believe this, but in sixty years of learning about astronomy (twenty of them as a Christian) I have never heard this story about the spiritual meaning of the constellations. Astronomers who have studied the history of the constellations have concluded that they were invented in about 2000 BC, probably by the Sumerians and the Babylonians.
Did you read the entire OP? Because most of what the OP wrote really has nothing to do with inherently assuming materialism or not.
In fact, pretty much everything he posted re: biology is either based on incorrect premises and/or speculative opinion (e.g. claiming all life is "irreducibly complex"). As an argument for a creator though, it's weak sauce.
Nice very nice ... is math a spiritual process of identify? But then that just means that there is something very powerful that has its language rooted in math.Is pi material or spiritual?
How would one demonstrate quantum theory before it could be done>?...perhaps a demonstration then? or Example?
Not really, love is an Emotion.
