The only sexual relationship that is considered holy is the sexual relationship between one man and one woman in the covenant of marriage.

CLEAR ENOUGH FOR YOU?????????????


Sheesh!

Until NS can answer the following (and then deal with the consequent problems), then his argument is not logical.

Or did you mean to say that someone who was not God said that God told him that?

The Bible is God's Word, written down by men who were directly inspired by God as to what to include.

And how do those that were not directly inspired tell the difference between those who were genuinely inspired by God and those (maybe agents of Satan) who are lying in order to try and influence things for evil ends?

Which Bible? Which books in that Bible? Which translation?

Are there Bibles which aren't God's word? With books that aren't God's word?

Are there Bible's that aren't good translations, or is it that if you translate the Bible you're basically channeling God?

Can women do it?

Can gay men?

Two questions for you:
You're equating homosexuals wanting to follow their body's natural inclination to have sex to an addiction?
Did God create homosexuals with the desire to follow their body's natural instincts or not?

You're assuming those natural instincts are not also sinful.

No, I'm not making that assumption. What I am stating is that God created humans with those natural instincts.

It's natural for any person to desire sex, yet God states that the only holy relationship is that which is between one man and one woman in a marriage covenant.

You're dancing around my point. As you say, it's natural for any person to desire sex. That is because God created humans with that instinct. Yet God is punishing those who act on the instincts (the desire for sex) which he created in them. It's like he's trying to set humans up to fail.

Does He? Or did you mean to say that someone who was not God said that God told him that?

Furthermore, was Jesus' relationship with his disciples not holy?

Jesus did not have sexual relations with his disciples.

I don't at all believe that Symmetry was implying that he was.

Don't remeber who said this, but one of the best quotes I've heard about this is that humans are "created sick and commanded to be sound".

This sounded familiar to me too. I don't know where you heard it from, but I wonder if I first heard it in an Elizabethan literature class as younger lad. Google Search came up with an excerpt from Fulke Greville's Mustapha: http://www.luminarium.org/renlit/mustapha.htm

I found Christopher Hitchens as the source.

Do you not believe that God would choose people who HE KNEW would be obedient and write down what God wanted written down????? Seeing He is all knowing and knew what they would write down even before they were born????

Thus, the "how do you know they didn't make mistakes" is a fail.

[jonesthecurl]

So how do mistakes get into translations, or particular printings?
Wouldn't God know that too?

Jay's right! Clearly, God selected many transmitters of his Word, which is his Word yet contradictory in relation to his Other Words.

And god knew what would happen, yet he did it anyway. So his Word is made intentionally ambiguous, which means that god is was being a dick--according to CC standards.

Try reading properly before you so quickly declare a fail.

I did NOT ask how God knew who would transmit the message correctly, I asked how EVERYONE ELSE knew who were the people with the real message and who might be trying to trick us with a false message?

Fail twisting of the question = fail answer

[Nola_Lifer]

You sure it wasn't the Devil who was posing as God to help those guys write the Bibble.

[jonesthecurl]

Well if we go back to the Garden, God taught them so little about himself before giving them instructions - ("Don't eat from THAT tree, right in front of you, you can't miss it, that one right there." ) - that they thought they could hide from God in the bushes.
How they were supposed to know that God was the one to listen to, and not that snakey fellow, I don't see.
Still, they failed, so we all have to go to Hell, unless we listen to some later instructions, which are revealed in a perfectly reliable way with no contradictions.

[crispybits]

Yep - they should have known to trust the guy that promised eternal happiness through ignorance and complete supplication to authority than the one telling them to reach for wisdom and knowledge for sure - how could they be so stupid!

Is 1984 compulsory reading on the American syllabus?

Nope. =(

Take that, Homo haters!

[BigBallinStalin]

I've recently grown to respect PhatScotty's drastic improvements in weaning himself away from Phatism.
(Yeah, Woodruff, he won't answer your questions probably because he doesn't like your attitude).

Unfortunately, Phatism--or maybe Juanism?--still lingers on the fora.

Will JB take that path to a community intervention?

Or will he improve himself beforehand?
