That’s because science cannot determine nature and origins. God’s word, however, does.

That’s because science cannot determine nature and origins. God’s word, however, does.No, it's an important point. It is not necessary to reject the science of human psychosexuality in order to disagree with public policy based on it. Homosexual activity, for example, remains a Christian sin regardless of what science may determine about its nature and origins.
I agree with what Jesus said. I am not convinced that the division is a result of judgement. The pandemic I don't know. I think the aids pandemic would be a closer possibility of judgement.Jesus says a nation divided against itself cannot stand. What if the division is part of his judgment along with the plague?
Science discovers. It doesnt determine. If you believe God made the world, that no conflict with science - which is just a process for discovering what God made.That’s because science cannot determine nature and origins. God’s word, however, does.
In that case, the country will never be unified. We will perpetually be divided between biblical literalists and everybody else.That’s because science cannot determine nature and origins. God’s word, however, does.
Not if everyone repents and believes the gospel, as is commanded by Jesus.In that case, the country will never be unified. We will perpetually be divided between biblical literalists and everybody else.
How many have repented and believe the Gospel and are not biblical literalists? I'm afraid you would still find yourself in a minority.Not if everyone repents and believes the gospel, as is commanded by Jesus.
See previous.Thats a value judgement. Science doesnt opine at all on "what is sin". So, no conflict there.
I don’t think so.How many have repented and believe the Gospel and are not biblical literalists? I'm afraid you would still find yourself in a minority.
Thats a matter of faith. I'm fine with faith. But its not anything we should expect everyone to get on board with as if we could all see with our own eyes. There are many different faiths out there.So I guess we should trust God then. He does.
It’s a matter of truth. Whether someone believes it or not doesn’t change anything.Thats a matter of faith. I'm fine with faith. But its not anything we should expect everyone to get on board with as if it were something we can all see with our own eyes. There are many different faiths out there.
No its your truth, which is why we call it "faith", and why so many people claim different truth on these matters.It’s a matter of truth. Whether someone believes it or not doesn’t change anything.
Or if you guys die out. Currently it looks like that is more likely.Not if everyone repents and believes the gospel, as is commanded by Jesus.
Makes it easier to justify criminalizing the behavior for non-Christians as well.Scientific findings on this matter can introduce some dissonance. Like when science indicates same sex attraction may be biologically innate among certain people. Then our poor guy is stuck with "why would God make a person that way?" Much easier just to turn off the science channel.

If its objective truth then you can simply show me.
You don’t need science to describe homosexuality.My point exactly. Science describes homosexuality and Christian doctrine tells us its a sin. You don't have to deny the science to know it's a sin.
Even if someone is born that way, they still need to be born again.Scientific findings on this matter can introduce some dissonance. Like when science indicates same sex attraction may be biologically innate among certain people. Then our poor guy is stuck with "why would God make a person that way?"

It will still continue to grow.Or if you guys die out. Currently it looks like that is more likely.
In U.S., Decline of Christianity Continues at Rapid Pace
We will see.It will still continue to grow.
He presented another parable to them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field; and this is smaller than all other seeds, but when it is full grown, it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.”
— Matthew 13:31-32
What happens when you greatly reduce the amount of virus you breathe in if you happen to walk into a cloud of virus droplets someone sneezed or coughed or laughed out?Yeah. Unfortunately, the mask/vaccine cult is firmly entrenched, and I’m not sure what can be done.
