Sorry. I wasn't rolling my eyes at you. I was rolling my eyes at the mentality that forgiveness ends all discussions.



People forget the harsh words of Jesus to the alduterous woman.

John 8:11 HCSB "No one, Lord," she answered. "Neither do I condemn you," said Jesus. Go and from now on do not sin any more."

I don't see Jesus promoting a hedonistic approach. He could have said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go out and enjoy your day." but he didn't say that.

My apologies for misunderstanding.

I guess I did misunderstand it. I thought you were trying to say that my Biblical interpretation on remarriage was inaccurate because I failed to take into account that forgiveness trumps all.

I guess you threw me off a little bit.

Forgiveness does trump all, and one thing the Baptists of my day never got through their heads is that the only person whose behavior they can control is themselves, and a lot of them failed miserably at that.
 
If I had to take a label that most accurately described me I would pick atheist.

So you are atheist, just as I thought.

You don't know what you're talking about, but, why should today be different from any other day?

Now now, that is off topic. Unless you want to make me the topic.

Moderator's Warning:
You both need to cut this personal back and forth out and stick to the topic. If you think a person is being off topic than report it and ignore it. If you engage in off topic back and forth you're just as guilty of threadjacking as the person who initiated the issue

Mormons are not Christians, SDA's are barely Christians, depending on what it is they really believe, which doesn't leave you with much.

A church whose cornerstone of belief is that Christ died for the sins of mankind and that the way to salvation is through him is not Christian?

You seem to have a very narrow view of what Christianity is.
 
vasuderatorrent said:
You can when it comes to doctrinal issues. It's still important to know about the Old Testament. You can't really argue with someone unless you both accept the same premise. Most Christians reject the Old Testament as doctrine. It's probably best to dismiss the Old Testament if you want to have a fair debate. If you don't want a fair and logical debate then you are free to bring up things from the Old Testament.

OK, fair enough.
I'll try to remember that the next time the issue of posting the Ten Commandments on a public building comes up.

That's a good point. However, the same rules for arguing apply. You have to start at the same premise or the debate becomes circular and pointless. The Christian will reject the Old testament and embrace the Ten Commandments. I'm not saying it's logical. I'm saying that you have to accept their premise if you want to have a reasonable debate.

Isn't that what's generally called "cherry picking"?

A church who believes that God is from another planet does not know who Christ it.

Yeah. I'd be dead by now if Yahweh exists. I don't know much about Allah but He probably wouldn't be too happy with me either.

On the other hand, another god that I know about is a big jerk that doesn't pay any attention to anybody. That god is too lazy and selfish to bother with me. Since I am not dead this is evidence that that god is most likely the only real god. Most of the mainstream gods would have killed me by now. Since I am alive it is unlikely that any of them are real.

Ok, now you're just baiting and being dramatic.


And since the religion forum has specific rules stating that this is not the place for statements asserting the non-existence of God, you're done here.

And how do you know he didn't come from another planet?

Just to point out, the passage in Deut was specifically talking about the priestly cast. That was a restriction put on the house of Aaron, not on anybody else (at the time).
