Hmmm ... so you guys don't agree on the Virgin Birth, the Resurrection, or the Trinity? Who knew?

There are pages and pages of "Creeds, Credos and What We Believes" that suggest otherwise, Beezzer, not for nothin'.

Apostle's Creed

Basic Christian Beliefs

Comparisons of Christian Denominations Beliefs

I'm being somewhat facetious, and I'd hope that you'd get my point.

But unfortunately, you didn't.

Bash/criticize/attack/question, whatever fluffs your nightie. I will defend Christianity when I can, and question the tenets when I can.

a reply to: beezzer

Ah, so it's to be a somewhat gentle "putting me in my place" then?

I do beg your pardon for not noting that something you stated twice in row was just you "being facetious."

No one is bashing/critcizing/attacking/or questioning every individual Christian everywhere by pointing out the facts.

And the fact in this case is that the "nutjob" in the OP is saying something not exactly uncommon among some Christians.

I don't know why you can't "pick up" on that.

Heh, he must be afraid of his own deep desires, thus he must eliminate all homosexuals so that he will not be tempted. LOL

What a fishstick.

Something to ponder about pastors like this. Of the 40,000 denominations of Christianity all believe in the maddening wine know as "Original Sin".

The concept of original sin is this. You were born under the influence of Satan. Your whole life their is no way out of this contract. No matter how hard you try Satan/sin always comes out on top. This is why rituals must be performed.

Personally I don't believe thier is a big bad Satan that is my boss. I follow the Holy Spirit instead. The perfect Spirit that teaches man to overcome Satan.

By this pastors belief you know that he himself is a sinner who believes he can never overcome his sin. In his life Satan must win at least sometimes, because that is what he has confessed to believe.

What could a man's sin be who is obsessed with the sexual lives of others?

I will leave the rest to imagination.

You (Christians) put it out there. Christians stomp on others. Then scream "bashing" when stomped back.

They really think they are above everyone else. They're not.

You don't wanna get stomped back? Don't put it out there.

*sigh*

*Shakes an angry fist at Christians!*

Shakes head and walks away from the "tolerant" crowd.

Well...we're all sinners, if you are gonna get right down to it. Even if you look enviously at anothers lot in life...taht is a sin right?

Taken as a whole, gay people are actually and historically safest among Christians. Put another way, no Christians and get a good pair of running shoes. Unless someone here knows another segment of society where gays wereare safer then let hisher prove it.

Why? As previously stated in other threads, I considered myself Christian most of my life. I know exactly how they feel and think.

I am talking about what I know. Personally know.

I'm intolerant because why? Because Christians don't stay in their own sandbox? Because they stick their nose in everyone else's sandbox? Not only that, they think it is their right and their duty to do so.

Then they get all hurt because they aren't welcome, not wanted.

Who's fault is that?

It's not mine.

You simply do not know how to have a discussion with people who disagree with you.

Hate all you want.

I'm not going to be agreeing with you.

Now if you agree with me, that might be different.

Are you ready to agree with me?

Perfect example of my point; you don't have to "agree" ... you just proved it!

No one here is "hating" on you, or even coming close in this discussion.

We simply disagree with you.

Now I know what it's like for Muslims to be defending Islam.

What irritates me is having non-Christians determining what my faith is and what it encompasses.

It's nice to see you not disavow these people as "true" Christians like most gay hating Christian like to do.

Unlike some, I refuse to tell people what to believe.

Well, I don't!!

Believe in the dignity of others
Believe in the phrase...Do unto others as you would have them do unto you!
Lighten up and wear your sunscreen!!

And believe this....

Hatred is corrosive of a person's wisdom and conscience; the mentality of enmity can poison a nation's spirit, instigate brutal life and death struggles, destroy a society's tolerance and humanity, and block a nation's progress to freedom and democracy.
Liu Xiaobo

And that's a very valid point. "Do unto others." I don't care if people like me. Nobody likes everybody. I won't cheat you, but I expect the same back. I won't assault you and I expect the same back. And so forth and so on.

Obviously not all Christians feel the way this pastor does.

Even a large amount of evangelical Christians who disagree with homosexuality don't go this far.

This pastor is a minority and a radical.

But...have we not learned the lesson of 1936 to 1945?

He's gonna be pissed when he wakes up after he dies, in blackness and silence,
For eternity..

Oh you aren't joking? Even more hilarious.

Why would I care define your faith for you?

Its of zero concern to me.

Weak attempt to play a victim, pal.
