8See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world ...rather than on Christ.
@one2plywtme the essence of the scientific method is to take in verifiable data and develop hypothesis and theories based on what can be proven. Religion demands absolute obedience on the basis of faith. Science requires one to think and reason, while religion demands "faith" and shuns true thought. And by the way, scientists don't kill or promote the death of others based on differing theories, religion orders its followers to kill non-believers. personally, I'd side with science.
@venwin25 Assumptive language is easy to make when one has no clue what the christian faith is. I suggest you treat each beliefs system differently and look into it deeply before making accusations.
@one2plywtme my response to your pathetic retort would be to direct you to Deuteronomy, Chapter 17:2-3,5. That should help you to understand what Christianity is all about.
@venwin25 just like most Atheist ridicule is your best friend. I suggest you stop taking words of the bible out of context and read and understand it before you speak. Sad to say I'm 100% sure you think you are above it and won't even look into it because your pride wont let you.
@one2plywtme how was the passage from your own book taken out of context. While you accuse me of of ridicule, please remember I am simply responding to your questioning my knowledge. In fact, just to show I have read your bible, try re-reading it yourself. Pay special attention to Leviticus 20:13 for views on homosexuals, Deuteronomy 17:2-7 for opinions on other faiths, and finally, straight from Jesus' own mouth, 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9 for his thoughts on other faiths.
@venwin25 Proverbs 6:16-19 tells us, "There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers."
@venwin25 Notice that homosexuality does not make this list. It would be more biblical to promote phrases such as "God hates liars" and "God hates murderers." In fact, the Bible nowhere directly states that God hates homosexuals.
@venwin25 That does not mean that the Bible approves of homosexuality. The Bible consistently tells us that homosexuality is a sin (Genesis 19:1-13; Leviticus 18:22; Romans 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9). Homosexuality is described as an abomination. Romans 1:26-27 teaches explicitly that homosexuality is a result of a continual rebellion against God.
@venwin25 When a person continues in disbelief, the Bible tells us that God “gives them over,” allowing them to experience their sinful desires and the resulting consequences. First Corinthians 6:9 proclaims that homosexuals will not inherit the kingdom of God. Homosexuality is immoral and unnatural. It is a perversion of the "natural order" and more importantly, of God's view of sex.
Respond to this video... With all that said, the Bible does not describe homosexuality as a greater sin that any other. All sin is offensive to God. Homosexuality is just one of the many things listed in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 that will keep a person from the kingdom of God. According to the Bible, God’s forgiveness is just as available to a homosexual as it is to an adulterer,
@venwin25 idol worshipper, murderer, thief, etc. God also promises the strength for victory over sin, including homosexuality, to all those who will believe in Jesus Christ for their salvation (1 Corinthians 6:11; 2 Corinthians 5:17).
@venwin25 Does God hate homosexuals? No. Does God approve of homosexuality? Absolutely not. Can a person truly be a Christian and at the same time a practicing homosexual? No (1 Corinthians 6:9). The "God hates fags" ministry fails miserably in the message it proclaims. Ephesians 4:15 instructs us to "speak the truth...in love." First Peter 3:15 teaches us to proclaim the truth, but to do so with "gentleness and respect."
@venwin25 We must uphold the truth of God's Word in proclaiming the sinfulness of homosexuality. However, we must uphold this truth in a loving, gentle, and respectful manner. We must warn homosexuals about the eternal dangers of continued rebellion against God. At the same time, our message should be focused on the forgiveness and freedom from sin that is available through the Lord Jesus Christ.
@one2plywtme This will be my last response, so read closely. At no time have my words been taken out of context. I have provided several examples from your own book to prove my point. And like all theists, you want to pick and choose what is fact and what is allegory. Perhaps you should read the book you claim that I don't understand; for I have read nearly every major holy text several times over.
@one2plywtme All your World view Myths about "Christianity" have been busted and yes you must separate the beliefs because not all are the same. "busted exposing popular myths about Christianity" Pick it up next time you wanna have a conversation with real facts because all your doing is pushing your pride instead on listening
