Anglican Church splits in two over gay issue! Is the Presbyterian Church next?

I dislike infidelity, promiscuity,and all of its consequences, STD, abortions, the break down of families. I also dislike use of drugs, hypocrisy, selfishness and like of sincerity.

I especially like evrything that hurt children.

I expose the agenda of gay activists and people who want to redefine gender because theiy are confused about their own.

I like all the opposites of the above.

When you say that I dislike gays, it is in you head.

Islam has its radical terrorists. Homosexuality has its gays activists. They are dragging America to a cultural war and could no careless because they just care about themselves.

You just compared gay rights activists to terrorist. You've got issues. All they really what is to not get discriminated against and the ability to start families. They don't blow up planes.

The only one that seems to be confused is nosy people like you.

Also, I think you meant to say "lack of sincerity" and "they are confused."

That would also mean you blame him for murders and Hitler and the like. He has not and does not create humans with a purpose in mind, as in a they have a set way to live. He created free will. Adam and Eve were perfect and the further we go from them the more imperfect humans become and the more flawed their thinking and actions become. God has not given people abilities to do as he has deemed inappropriate. He has not altered what he accepts throughout Human existence. If he were to alter like a human it would cause confusion. Just like a child has when a parent is not consistent in their teaching and discipline.

Jammer, I have to disagree with you. God did not create Adam and Eve perfect. They had to grow to maturity.
That was the first blessing: "be frutiful"

Adam and Eve fell during the period of growth.

If there were perfect as you said they could not have fallen and there would not be free will either

Dont you think ?

The question is what was the reasons for the fall, what why their blood tainted with the original sin. Why are humans still born with this original sin even after Jesus came ?

Rwylie. Every student of religion learn about this paradox
between the omnipotence of God and the free will of man.

He created because of true love and he will not change this principle. We can choose to reject him .

God could not even protect Jesus when he was crucified.

Our unGodly actions damage our spirit. No we do not explode physically. We are spiritual beings first

That is correct. They were not perfect. They were to work towards that perfection.

I think it's good to note that God doesn't play popularity contests and he doesn't pander. Those that are within what they think is God's way of thinking that do are not abiding by what they should be and they should be looked upon with skepticism and doubt.

There are also those born with mental illnesses and brains that have predilections for murder, rape and all kinds of things. People have the same for music and writing, becoming fat, getting cancer, having heart disease. All of which is determined if it is worthy of having and if it is not.

People decide what it is they are willing to accept without change and what they state can't change. But if what you state is true and that it is already part of the brain and that's excuse to be as one is than when is it going to be alright to be a murder since they too have different brains?

The trick here is not to associate one with the other. I am not stating that Homosexuality is a mental illness and I'm not stating they are on the same brain wave as a murder. I'm stating that these others have brain issues as well that is something that is there and not chosen. How do you differentiate between what is good and what is bad in the brain as in what has to stay and what can change?

Is it based on your own moral compass? Who decides? Who is right in the mind to decide?

To address the other issue separately (so it's not a big block of text---or a bigger block of text) the Bible is the number one book every year and the second book of each year is so far behind that it's amusing. A book as you describe it wouldn't be the number one book. Which means that reading such a book one would have to take into consideration lots of things that have to deal with writing. If you understand writing and you understand who God is then the book makes sense. If you are against the idea of God then you nitpick and convert everything, twist it and make it look horrible in hopes of converting people to your way of thinking. I tend to not listen to those that only have the negative to say about things...they are almost always wrong.

rwylie,

Withing the same week there was 3 post on Current about studies

1) The one you mention
2) Meditation enlarges your brain
3) Some health food changes your genes.

I am sorry but many studies are propaganda that should be checked very carefuly

The bible includes the Old Testament (Jewish faith) and the new testament (Christian Faith).

Al passages should be studied in context and not out of context.
In addition , a serious student of religion will separate faith, culture and the politic of the time.

Here is an example. Is the war in Irak a clash between the culture of the west and the middle east, is it a clas between Islam and Xristianity. Is is a battle for Oil ? Is it the removal of a brutal dictator ?

Wihtout knowing the purpose of life, the purpose for God to create and what really happened at the fall, it is not possible to understand the reason for religion and the purpose of what happened in history.
