Why are athiests so hated in the USA?

[ElNono]

Does offer sex? Anybody has both contracts handy?

[ElNono]

Yes, but you have to call it ale.

wow, sign me up!

[ElNono]

So do you just sit around and watch people do fun ?

Worked for The Matrix...

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Again, none of those quotes discuss what we're talking about. They're, like you said, about false prophets -- not how one should read the biblical text.

Would you be ok with a woman pegging you?

Hoping that I am a phobe? I have had women desire all manner of sexual things including sticking a finger up my butt. i am okay with it as long it doesn't hurt, truth be told but I have never had a chick that wanted to peg meand I imagine that it would be at best uncomfortable so given the choice i would decline.

However, using the term 'okay' implies something more than choice and no i would not think less of myself if i got off to anal sex.

Thats besides the point. We are talkinga bout what Paul said was the role of women and that was very specifically to be submissive

Paul is saying to not divert from doctrine. We actually have had this discussion before and he says these teaching are doctrine. Thats the whole point of him laying out all those edicts.

Ive shown you where they say do not divert from doctrine and we have had discussions aobut what is doctrine and its the same thing: what they chose at the Council in Nice oh so long ago.

Its clear: do as I say, be faithful to the word and do not divert from it.

You are not thinking. You will no longer have any desire to sin. You will see the light and sin will no longer be an option. Evil is not allowed to exist in Heaven.

So there are strict rules in heaven that everyone is forced to comply with.

Please explain how one still has complete free will in that case, and then please explain why God didn't skip us all on ahead to heaven.

[baseline bum]

no, you'll have lots of work. the movie "its a wonderful life", which is just like the reality of the bible, means you'll have to earn your wings.

So the bible is just some to recruit a slave army?

Of zombies... since you have to be dead to get there...

Sounds like a cheap B movie, tbh

[baseline bum]

No beer, no sex, and endless bondage; how the could be worse?

[101A]

I believe I did. Thanks for the correction.



Interesting. Might I ask why? Does your wife have an unhealthy addiction to it?

And 101A, you forgot to answer my earlier question... if God said to you you'd be getting serviced an hour from now, would you try to prove him wrong?

Marzipan: Had a German exchange student - it is their high end candy of choice - thus I get it as gifts quite often - very popular their - I searched my taste buds for the nuance I was missing...and found it.

2nd question: No

[Drachen]

Marzipan is good, I agree though, you have to get used to the taste.

[Blake]

What the are you talking about?

I'd like to see some scripture dictating that it is to be taken literally.

Keep up with your dumb requests, tbh.

[Blake]

No sex in Heaven and you won't miss it. You won't have hormones or even sex organs, you will have a better body than what you have now, a body without pain, no need to eat, no need to sleep, a body that will not age, no flesh or blood as you know now, no mortal s , you will still look the same and recognize others that you knew. Hard to comprehend because you are stuck in this world's thoughts.

sounds rather robotic, imo

[Blake]

You are stuck in this world's thoughts. So you cannot comprehend.
God will not create a place of boredom. Trust in the new body you will be given. Boredom exists on Earth.

then why did he create Earth?

[Blake]

Still thinking inside the box that you only know. You have much to learn.

For Christians, the Bible is the box.

If you are thinking outside the box, then you are just making up.

[vy65]

Which parts of the Bible should a Christian take literally?

Where did I say a Christian should take any of it literally? You're the one obsessed with whether burning lakes are real or not.

Again, what the are you talking about?

[vy65]

Hoping that I am a phobe? I have had women desire all manner of sexual things including sticking a finger up my butt. i am okay with it as long it doesn't hurt, truth be told but I have never had a chick that wanted to peg meand I imagine that it would be at best uncomfortable so given the choice i would decline.

I lol'd at the anecdote. Thanks for that.

I wasn't assuming your phobia or lack thereof. I was 1) assuming your a heterosexual male and 2) asking whether or not you would submit to an act of female sexual domination (e.g., pegging). Given your answer, it doesn't sound like you'd be down for taking one up the bum - so - you wouldn't be down for an act of female domination.

The second part of the scripture you quoted is: "I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man;[b] she must be quiet."

I'd argue (somewhat seriously) your dislike of pegging --> refusal to allow a woman to assume authority over you --> subordination of women.

Paul is saying to not divert from doctrine. We actually have had this discussion before and he says these teaching are doctrine. Thats the whole point of him laying out all those edicts.

Ive shown you where they say do not divert from doctrine and we have had discussions aobut what is doctrine and its the same thing: what they chose at the Council in Nice oh so long ago.

Its clear: do as I say, be faithful to the word and do not divert from it.

I disagree with your interpretation. We can leave it at that - or - we can have a more in-depth discussion of the text itself and what it means. I'm happy with either.

[Blake]

Again, what the are you talking about?

I'd like to see some scripture dictating that it is to be taken literally. If not, then we're just spinning our wheels about how best to interpret it.

So you are asking for literal scripture that says scripture should be taken literally.

Dunno what you mean by literal scripture - but yeah - I'd like book/verse.

I don't know how much simpler I can make it for you to show you what you requested.

Should I bold the parts where you talk about what you would like to see?

[rascal]

So there are strict rules in heaven that everyone is forced to comply with.

Please explain how one still has complete free will in that case, and then please explain why God didn't skip us all on ahead to heaven.

You will have free will but evil will not exist where God is. I don't understand why that is so difficult for you.

Life is a learning experience . What good would it be to be given a free pass? You must prove your worth. Although some people like infants and innocent children who die young will get a so called free pass. Of course they are not infants in Heaven, they will be given grown bodies as if they lived full lives.

[rascal]

That's what life is. Dealing with negative things is what makes us human. I would even consider it an essential part of being human.

Yes dealing with negative things is what we do on Earth.
Dying is a game changer.

^^ was for Fuzzy, not you. If you bothered reading, you'd understand that's what we were arguing about.

So for like the 8th time, what's your point?

anyone want to carpool?

[rascal]

So do you just sit around and watch people do fun ?

No you will be active, learning and revisiting your life and making amends with the people you wronged and the people who wronged you will make amends with you. All which is not right on earth during our lifetimes will be righted, fairness will prevail and the just will be rewarded.

One of the first things that will happen is you will meet family and friends that have passed on, then your life review before God. Everything you have ever said or done has been recorded. there will be no denying anything as you watch it as it happens again in front of you. The high points(the good you have done for others) and low points(the bad you have done to others) will be reviewed. All things will be righted and lessons will be learned. This is what life on Earth is about, a learning experience to grow towards the goal of living in Heaven.

I don't care who it was for.

I was asking you what the point of your request is.

You obviously have no point, so my conclusion is that it's a stupid request. Apparently there's nothing more to discuss about it.

I guess the larger issue I have is this: I don't know who's more stupid - Christians who take every word of the bible literally - or "atheists" (for lack of a better word) who take issue with the bible's "logic" because they read the bible literally.

Why don't you read? Honest question.

[Blake]

Unbelievers won't be rewarded. Murderers might be.

How is that fair?

Will I have the free will to tell God no thanks to watching the video of my life?
