Boy Scouts Banned By Alabama Pastor Greg Walker[W:220:563]

Re: Boy Scouts Banned By Alabama Pastor Greg Walker

One day, standing before God, He will say to those who didn't believe, "I don't believe in you either!" POOF! maybe a little vapor left. For effect!


Matthew 7:23 Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'

Ive watched Touched by an Angel and according to that even if you do not believe God still believes in you.

God believes in and loves you and his grace is greater than any sins. He is willing to forgive all.

But, YOU have to ask! :)

On judgement day, it will be too late to ask!

Because you have to walk the walk, not just talk and believe.

The devils believe...and tremble!

James 2:19
King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.)
Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

If god truly is that spiteful then I do not care. My rebellious spirit cannot be chained and he can go ahead and cast me right into hell. Ill try to forgive him. The god I want to believe in doesnt send ANYONE to be tortured for infinity. If this gets me that very same treatment then so be it. I'll choose not to honor the face of my Father. But deep down I do no believe he is that spiteful.

it's AMAZING what you can get used to. I learned that in Vietnam.

Unfortunately, folks won't be able to get USED to HELL.

Hell is a greek word meaning the grave.

you are correct.
God is NOT a monster.



Matthew 10.28, "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell" (Matthew 10.28 KJV bible)

The opposite of eternal life is eternal DEATH.
NOT eternal life under torture.

That's what I read in the Bible.

Some people refer to being thrown into a lake of fire and think they'll survive that, like the burning bush Moses went to see.


Everything organic I've ever seen thrown into a fire, was consumed.

It's been ages since anyone was truly free to enjoy life. Monotheists have totally ruined the experience................
 
Re: Boy Scouts Banned By Alabama Pastor Greg Walker

The idea that God is some kind of parental figure who tabulates your rights and wrongs is laughable, and a remnant from a part of a very old world that was governed by ignorance and chaos. God is a force of nature that connects us all. It is you, it is I, it is everything. It's the infinite. We are all part of it. Beyond ego, it is our core being.

It's sad that people cling so obstinantely to what an overly-watered down and translated text has to say about living life. Jesus was just a man. An enlightened man, but a man nonetheless. What he can do has been done before and since then. But when you're the one eyed man in the kingdom of the blind, of course people are going to think you are God.

Time to get over it and start using our brains to decide what is best in this present moment.

I've had a WONDERFUL life.

And now I'm old and healthy and still in love with my wife.

I'm not rich by millionaire standards, but i'm comfortable. and still working despite eligible to retire. Because I want to. :)

Being happy or unhappy is an attitude. and YOUR OWN fault, if you enjoy life or refuse to.

I'm a child of God, and created only a little lower than the angels...and so are you, you just can't accept it yet.
One day sooner or later, you will.
I just hope it isn't the LAST day, cause that will be too late.

Sure. This man was consumed. But the reverberance of his protest lives on. It doesnt matter if the decree was made by God or not. Unjust punishment is unjust. Infinity torture does not equate to the pain an individual can inflict on everyone in 1 lifetime. Is his ego so big that there must be a timeframe on your redemption? If you realize your mistake while you stand in front of him do you not realize your mistake or do you?

If I was God I would say, "Try again next time!" And cast them back to the mortal world to be reborn until they learn. I guess I can only hope God is something like me and not like what you want.

No. You are mentally ill. You've spent your life trying to make life as miserable as possible for everyone else and then have the audacity to brag how happy it's made you..........................Oh, the humanity..........................

The world will be gone. destroyed.
You get ONE lifetime to make the team. Then, the tryouts are over.
you can't say it's unfair, simply because you chose to disregard.
The clock is ticking. You have the information.
It's decision time and the responsibility is yours. don't wait TOO long!
 
Re: Boy Scouts Banned By Alabama Pastor Greg Walker

The BSA are not a religious organization. I'm sure other groups would be permitted to use the church. I think this is out and out descrimination.

Would you be just as shocked if they didn't let the local LGBT group hold meetings in it?

Seriously... seek professional help.
 
Re: Boy Scouts Banned By Alabama Pastor Greg Walker

No, it's that he's picked what he thinks is a worse sin, then discriminated on it. (Which he can do, but it doesn't line up with the bible.)

So let's get this straight:

- The boy scouts are a sinful organization because they now allow sinners. (homosexuals)
- There are no gradients of sin. All sin is equal in the eyes of god.
- We are all sinners.
- Churches allow humans into their church, which because they're human, are also sinners.

Therefore, this church is doing the EXACT SAME THING the boyscouts are doing. They're allowing sinners into their congregation (that's the point of a church!)

You don't see the hypocrasy in this? So the boyscouts previously let those guilty of gluttony, lust, envy, and all the other sins, and that was ok, but as soon as they let homosexuals in, that's a no-no because that sin is worse?

Show me in the bible where it says homosexuality is a worse sin than the others.
Your first premise is false so your entire argument fails. I don't know why this is so difficult for people to understand. I suppose its more convienent to attack a strawman.

Gotta love it when so-called libertarians keep to the philosophy only when they find it convienent. Good god, you all are more judgmental than the Christians you constantly whine about.
 
Re: Boy Scouts Banned By Alabama Pastor Greg Walker

Not the anthromophprized sky daddy one for sure

If I remember correctly, and I DO, I absolutely DID NOT ask you what you didn't believe in, that was already pretty well established.

Maaaaybe I guess I would more rather, if pushed, know: Which of those super credible and scientifically provable theo...theor...theories...waawaa..wait a second now, theories? Theories, you mean those things that are kinda like made up stories to fit the facts, right...? Man made up stories? [ oh yeah, never mind ]

Yeah, made up stories.....like Gravity
 
Re: Boy Scouts Banned By Alabama Pastor Greg Walker

Well, you tell me, where did gravity originally come from, why does this even work, why are their such rules in the universe, where did these rules come from? blah blah blah, stuff you cannot answer for the origins of....

And see, that was not even close to being on target...

May I suggest you try testing out the theory of gravitation?

Here is how to do it: Find a very tall building, and jump off it.

Maybe, because it's a ... what was that? Man made story? Maybe because its a man made story, you will simply fly around. Then again, you may splatter all over the floor.

In either case, it's a win for science if you manage to prove or disprove the man made story called the theory of gravitation.

Remember, find tall building, jump off, disprove man made story. Go on... I dare ya.

I can see you must have tried the maiden flight on your own, did you, land on the noggin did you, didn't really do much damage, did you?

Unless you really do not have the capacity to understand the concept we are discussing, ... just wanted you "smart science" folks to tell us sky guy peeps just how this all came about, the fairly ordered universe, you know the atheists "stories" of just being ...they are truly wild and fascinating, but if it is so silly to believe in a god, just where are your solid answers to where gravity, all the rules of physics, come from originally? Come on ....

I can hear the gears whizzing now...."oh, wait a minute, omg, he is not asking IF there is gravity...he is asking WHERE IT CAME FROM ORIGINALLY, BEFORE BEFORE, matter of fact he is asking where did everything come from, originally?" Totally nothing, not even the thought or whisper or anything of even this nothingness existed [ and if that's not true, where did whatever IS there, where did that come from?] and this nothingness suddenly for some reason just sprang into just being somethingness, matter of fact everythingess, now just where did that all come from then? This decision from nowhere and then the power to actually do...where did it come from? I know, I know this is a bit more mature subject than maybe you are used to ...seeing as how you earlier tried to dumb the question down to something you maybe could actually answer, and then you there was that clumsy/snarky little attempted jibe, ha ha ha, crude but at least made me chuckle about just how much effort you folks expend on the extraneous hoping we will forget about the pertinent...but you see this ploy you are using to avoid ...it just is simply not about the question asked...and so you maybe might try again?

If not, I understand...

hmmmm...what to do what to do,huh? Like I said, maybe y'all wanna call Bill Nye, the science guy...maybe he might help you locate the answer...ha ha ha ha

Wow you are a winny butt when some one doesn't believe in your religion. I think any of those hypothesis are more plausibile than the magical patriarchal misogynist sky daddy religion.

Don't be afraid, tell us which one, so I can question you on its "scientific validity"-----ha ha ha hah ah ah hahahah ha hha aha ha ha....too too funny...
