I don't mean to be disrespectful to you, I am most interested in your claims. Would you care to share where in the Bible you are finding this. I suppose I have missed it all of these years, but we are never to old to learn.

Sure:

Paul admits to enjoying the death of the original Apostles:

"And when the blood of your martyr Stephen was shed, I stood there giving my approval and guarding the clothes of those who were killing him.' Acts 22:20

Paul declares to have the only "True Gospel" and puts himself above an angel of God:

"But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!" Gal. 1:8

Paul declares him self an Apostle:

"Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not the result of my work in the Lord? 2 Even though I may not be an apostle to others, surely I am to you! For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord." 1 Corinthians 9

Jesus was lower than angels (Hebrews 2:9) and Paul is greater than angels (Galatians 1:8) then is Paul makes himself greater than Jesus.

Just a few off the top of my head

The post you are referring to from Lawlest is how I came
to know himself and Q- a.k.a. James from Charlotte.
Two of the most vile insulting "christian" posters I had ever had
the misfortune of coming across.
I was literally offended at the way they treated those who did not agree with them..They both have threatened physical abuse here on topix and both have been banned many times..
They have the ability to sugary sweet placate others to afford
themselves the room to attack those coming against their hate
speech..Many in this room just eat up their false pleasentries..
I simply can not sit quiet while these two wolves in sheeps clothing, attempt to control others and keep them beneath
themselves, all in the Name of Christ?
Unfortuantly, there are many many in our world just like them. They are a danger to our society and I am glad there are people like yourself, who are taking a stand and helping to shine a Light
on their self absorbed hatefullness..
Really don't care if they believe it's the behavior Jesus
commands from them,, it's disgraceful and wrong..

You make a mockery of the term 'all in the name of Christ', Que, I and a few others have done nothing more than convey the Word of God on various subjects and you have tried to spin that into an attempt on our parts to attack others with great "vileness".........a gain you are a hypocrite of the highest order, when you hate God's Holy Word you really hate Christ himself.......HYPOCRITE.

Birds of a feather it seems Mr. 42.
Are you a stuffed animal or just cheaply molded figurine?

You seem a bit fragile old boy.
Cheap Vietnamese ceramic maybe?

I sit here trying to identify something you've written that was on topic, and I struggle to see your non hypocrisy.

Now, can we please get on with it?

Unreal!
You support the most vile "christains" on topix and
have a problem w Annie??
You either have alot of growing up to do..
or are as full of yourself as your buddies Q and Lawlest..
I think it's all of the above.
Yikes!

This post of JL's that you responded to...

It was not whether she had a problem with me...nor if she would ever post to me again...that caught my attention.

It was however that she compared what I said to her to the cruelty of the words that I stand up against as equal.

So that "Majority" that you say has the right to put "In God We Trust" on coins shouldn't pass any laws that you don't apporove of ?

So "Majority Rule" is only OK when it fits your beliefs.

That is the problem. Everyone thinks that way.

Everyone forgets the second half of "The majority rules":

"So long as the rights of the minority are not infringed."

If you need to find Jefferson SC then I suggest you purchase a map, it won't cost you more than 50 cents (not the rapper by the way). However, If you're searching for Jefferson Davis, Thomas Jefferson, George Jefferson or Jeff Jefferson's Auto dealer then I can't help you Mr. Catcher.

Have you been to Jefferson SC?

<quoted text>Catcher invited posters from the Athiest forum to come into this forum as a bit of a laugh, so to speak. I no longer post in that forum due to the cruelty of one in particular poster, but did ask that they come in here and respect the fact that this is an old forum and that there is a purpose and has been a purpose to our postings.
I believe that there has been some bombardment as such to get posters in here to react, and have been reading such postings without reaction. They came in here with the intention of pushing buttons, Skom, and it is easy to see who they targeted :)

They do a lot of things in a group. That they came here as one didn't surprise me.

It has simply gotten boring to me and not at all intellectually stimulating. Its the equivalent of having an "I'm rubber you're glue" exchange except on an "adult" level.

I am skipping by the redundant posts and posters as the situation may warrant.

Well, he has a name and it's not "Dim"..
I suppose you could call him other names, ones more insulting..
But why?? Why call him anything else than the name he goes by??
I am not coming to his defense- he doesn't need me to..Seems to be
doing fine on his own..
I find him the opposite of Dim, that's all.

They don't understand the difference between one person speaking up on a post they don't agree with compared to going around as a group room to room and responding to every post in every exchange as a group. But, they don't understand a lot of things. I am finding it is better to just wave politely and nod while making sure you are still walking:)

SKOM: How come you never let me know when you're having an orgasm?
SHE: Because you're never there.

20 year old jokes are funny

I heard that in college although I am guessing it is older than that.

The Bible was used in the past as justification for slavery here in the United States. Genetics along with the study of hormones, are uncovering a wealth of knowledge when it comes to sexuality. What if we discover that ones sexuality, is as changeable as ones skin color....what then?

<quoted text>You stress several "what if's" in your commentary, poor argument, people throughout time have used the Bible in an attempt to justify many things to suit their own personal agenda's, however the Word holds true in all of it pureness of scriptures and it is VERY clear about it's judgement upon homosexuality

No, you did not - as you can read above. I was going to leave this alone, but in catching up today I see that the discussion is still ongoing.

So let me ask it again:

What if we discover that ones sexuality, is as changeable as ones skin color....what then?

My question was this:

I am not trying to be argumentative here, I am asking an honest question. As an example:
Some decide to deny the onetime existence of dinosaurs, simply trying to mesh what they choose to read and believe when it comes to their own understanding of the Bible and life as we know it now.

Brings to mind phrases like "Christian Gang-Bang".

Seems such things are not the sole domain of relgion. <smile>

I am staying out of the exchange. I just find it interresting that people are people regardless of beliefs or lack there of.

Take care Skom, at least enjoy the party favors. <smile>

It never stopped the KKK from hating balcks.

There will just be another "Apologetic of Hate" invented or a denial of science... probably both.

<quoted text>Concerning this particular subject, I don't have an opinion either way regarding the tax benefits and all of that for gay couples. What I do know from the scriptures is that homosexuality is sinful and God is against that. Because the homosexuals want to extend that sin into marriage it would make a mockery of the holy marriage sacrament which God has ordained. As a Christian I would rather defend traditional marriage than to lend support to something sinful as gay marriage no matter the excuse which I believe will be a bastardization of the marriage sacrament. That is why I vote against gay marriages at the voting booth.
Concerning lukewarmness, yes... I believe a Christian who helps to advance the cause of any type of fornications is in rebellion in that particular subject area..

You just don't want to address the issue do you?

It has nothing to do with advancing, it has to do with what is right for us and where we do or do not have a legal right to force others to live by our rules

If you simply don't care about the consequences of your vote and that it prevents people from having civil rights then I guess that is your choice. It just is surprising to me than a black man in America can be so blase about restricting civil rights for other people even though they did nothing illegal and are not held by the laws of Christianity.

I guess it is a good thing for you many Americans felt differently when it came to blacks or else organizations like the KKK would have made sure you never married or touched a ballot booth

I know you wouldn't be ok with another religion telling you what to do or your rights being restricted on it

Someone can't be lukewarm in regards to someone not in the faith for how they live their life. And nowhere does the bible give you permission to force its beliefs on others who aren't in the faith. If you find that verse please let me see it.

I honestly am trying to come off with an attitude but it is just amazing to me you see yourself as some sort of champion for Christianity in this case. Your actions aren't allowed by the bible, either by singling out a sin or by forcing your beliefs on others, and civilly it used to be you having his civil rights denied because some white Christians didn't like you. Now you are riding in the pickup truck. I just don't get it brother

JMO anyway
