Perhaps what Eon suggested goes to far, to quickly. Even if your average Iraqi hates America even half as much as you say, that's still an issue that needs to be overcome. I'm not an expert, but I'd say that Iraqi hatred is due to a number of factors, not least of which is the perception of...

Hehe. You tend to be switched on more than I, so you can take 1.

Yeah, sorry. I was having a joke. I understand what you're saying. Mind you, this SeaToad fellow over at the magic thread seems to go in for the circular reasoning thing. Well, solely or even partially it doesn't work. If you weren't saying the OT getting a bunch of cities and historical...

I know what reproof means. I don't know what point you're making, though. Timothy said that scripture is good for a whole bunch of things, including reproof. So what? I'm afraid you'll have to just come out and explain your position to us instead of dropping Bible verses, then emphasising a...

Sure, it's due for publication shortly after it gets compiled and officially declared as canon and inerrant by a bunch of old men who want to use it to control people in roughly 500 years from now. Can you wait till then?

Testing, testing; testing one, two, three. Lolloololololzozlozzz!1111 edit: Yes! I correctly guessed my timezone!

Don't pull the famous conservative media stunt of showing one side of the story, either. Take what from the victims of the Sep. 11 attacks? Failures like Afghanistan? Surely the memory of Sept. 11 victims is worth more than that? Yeah, at least you don't let them starve. America has done a...

If the Bible is true and inerrant because it is often historically and geographically accurate, then I'm going to write The Book of Drelin, split it into two parts; Part The First, which will accurately detail current history and geography through the omniscient eyes of Drelin, and Part the...

Ha! Thanks for the comic relief, SeaToad. Wait... you were using irony to demonstrate how absurd using the Bible to prove itself is, right?

Well, that's not the way Jesus saw it...

Hooray. This thread doesn't seem to be going anywhere. I was hoping someone would say yes.

Of course, people have made the point that living in a homosexual relationship is as sexually immoral as getting divorced / remarried.

I don't get it...

Which we know because it says so in the Bible. Yep, my (rather basic) understanding was that the orders came from Rome, but that Rome's power extended into pretty much all of Christendom until Luther, King Henry VIII et al. Well, I can't challenge you there since I know nearly nothing about...

Well, who thinks that aromatherapy has genuine therapeutic benefits? Why / why not?

edit: nevermind. I read the verse in context and it makes sense in regards to what you say. Still, it was a cryptic and rather strange way of saying that Peter should not see gentiles as unclean; I would have just thought God was telling me to eat food. So, anyway, that was a fun diversion...

Nyet, comrade Jango . A request, rather. The verse is interesting. I have two questions; why did God tell the Jews not to eat 'unclean' animals in the first place if he was going to let them later? And if a voice told you to do something that had explicitly been forbiden in the Bible, would you...

Verse please. By my understanding, the Roman Catholic Church was a unified body. You didn't have the Papacy making official decisions in Rome and other churches just not following along. Perhaps there's some confusion about what's meant by corruption. I'm not saying that everyone involved with...

Corpfox, the only part of your post I understood was the bit about your father being gay and you living with your mother. My comment was in reference to what you said, but I was not refering to you with 'their kind.' I interpeted this: to mean that you don't think homosexuals should become...

Hey - we're agreed. But how did these writings go from being accounts of Jesus' life and times, letters to early churches, etc to being the inerrant word of God? Does that mean you refuse to eat lobster and bacon? Have you considered the possibility that the New Testemant is one such...
