Don't you have to run to the chancery for mass?

Hypocrite....

Yes dear, I'm well aware that your question is how I would rewrite the Bible. Is there any sort of point to it?

Aside from the fact that you have once again avoided answering Wot's question?

I came back because you asked me to, sweetie. Where that puts you in your scriptural analogy lesson is entirely up to you.

Joe DeCaro wrote:

Well dear, my 'agenda' of the last few days has included a number of trips between here and Fact for some friends. Literally.

More than clueless, but unfortunately there's no Topix icon for deliberate ignorance.

I guess that's one way of looking at having been helped to look like the fool that you really are. Complete and utter denial of a proven reality. Always such an interesting choice. I don't know what you imagine you are accomplishing by your selective attention edits of what I am actually saying for your responses, but other than making yourself look silly, I don't get the point.

Oh no! Whatever shall we do? I have yet to provide a satisfactory answer to a completely pointless question.

If Wot wants a Bible for Dummies revision that makes it clear that God didn't really mean what the current versions clearly says he did, why is that my responsibility to write?

[Selecia Jones- JAX FL]

Does God really approve of this?

Sheep to the right, goats to the left.

I think so....

You must have graduated obedience school with honors, but the only thing I asked you to do was to answer Wot's question.

We're still waiiting for that answer.

Lets put it another way.
Pretend you are God (that shouldn't be hard for you).
The isrealites are worshiping what they think are other gods but are really not gods at all.
You want them to stop doing that so you tell your servant who is writing scripture to tell them to not do it.
What would you say? How would you have put it?

Hick, you really don't get it.

There are those who keep claiming that buttercup, but they, like you, are absolute sh*t at proving that to be true.

Caleb wrote:

The Episcopal Church claims to base its doctrine on the Bible, as does virtually every other Christian body.

But what you don't seem to get is that so does virtually every Christian Church which does not agree with your choice of Christian views on the subject.

Caleb wrote:

The Bible repeatedly condemns and prohibits all homosexual behavior in the plainest of terms and in both Testaments.

According to your choice of beliefs, a belief, that I have to evidently remind you, not universally held among those who choose to identify as Christians. If that is what you wish to choose to believe, believe it with all of what passes for your heart. But as far as you making a rational or even spiritual case as to why we should choose to believe that right along with you. Let's just say God should do better.

Caleb wrote:

This fact is irrefutable.

According to what you have chosen to believe, another belief not universally shared.

Caleb wrote:

Leviticus 18:22Leviticus 20:13Romans 1:26-27I Corinthians 6:9 (NIV)1 Timothy 1:8-11 (NASB)

Been there, done that, nothing there to convince me to share your choice of beliefs in them and you being you certainly doesn't help. God should do better.

If one is waiting for a bus to stop, it helps to wait where buses stop. I'll see if you are bright enough to eventually figure that out.

I leave pretending to be God to the allegedly Godly dear. If the Wot wants a re-write, the Wot can do a re-write. I don't see a point at the end of the tunnel, let alone light.

Hick, your ignorance and bigotry are astounding.

I try my best, dear.

Caleb wrote:

Suppose you cite a Bible translation that agrees with you?

Agrees with me about what?

Caleb wrote:

Oh, that's right! There are NONE!
Suppose you cite a major branch of Christianity that accepts your homosexual lifestyle choice as moral? Oh! That's right! There are NONE.

Solves that problem I guess. Since you have already made up what you pass off as your mind that I can never possibly be right, I guess all I can say is good luck with your unfortunate choices. You're done.

That's comes as no surprise: "... if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness" (Matt. 6:23).

Your light's out, Rick.

Your answer to the question will expose the fallacious nature of your argument and hence your avoidance.

You don't want to answer the question because it will make you look stupid. Well, stupider even.

My light is working just fine sweetie, it's the one you keep proclaiming to be showing me which seems to have burned its bulb.

If that is the silliness you want to believe, rock your socks off. It's not my fault that not even your own God agrees with you. It's not my fault that your Bible was written to support what I have written. You want a mulligan and want me to provide it for you. It's like I told the other idiot. I'll leave the pretending to be God to the allegedly Godly, you do it so well.

I didn't give you the answer to the question you wanted because it was a pointless question, I'm not answering it now because it is annoying the heck out of you.

This has been a great year for LBGT folks!!!
