Oops no. Mine also says same or opposite sex.
My wife was on my insurance before she was my wife. They recognized DP, no matter what the sexual orientation.
Oops no. Mine also says same or opposite sex.
Doh!
pwned.
its alright we all have intellectually lazy moments which affect a broad view of the world sometimes.
:LOL
Well so does Islam...
Judeo-Christians far outnumber any other religious/sub-cultures groups(gays, jews, muslims, transgender people, etc) that the laws mirror the cultural values of the group. They're the alpha-males of society because they built the infrastructure of it. I give at least a couple more hundred years till Christians change their stance on sexual acts. If not, you could always start a new society on another continent that promotes sexuality and free sex for everyone. I guess you could start telling the kids that getting it up the ass is another way of getting off, like jacking off, or having heterosexual intercourse.

Generally, I find myself to be more conservative than liberal on issues, but in this case I believe sexuals should be able to marry and get all of the same benefits afforded to hetrosexual couples. Seeing as how ~1/2 of all marriages end in divorce, the argument that sexuality somehow is against the sanc y of marriage is ridiculous. Making it legal, does not mean the Catholic church (for example) is now forced to marry gay couples. They an other churches/religions can choose to close their doors to whom they choose, but the ones who will allow it should be permitted to do so. Having had gay friends and relatives, I can not fathom believing any of them are somehow immoral, misguided or unfit to enter the bonds of matrimony or even raise children as successfully as any of us "heteros".
And on the topic of what God is telling you to do, please take a moment to reflect that there is someone with a completely different viewpoint as yourself claiming their hatred of you & your beliefs is a result of what God is telling them to do.
The words of God have brought some of the greatest and worst parts of man to the forefront. From all of the biblical studies of my youth, Jesus preached tolerance and love of his fellow man no matter what. I constantly lose faith in those who use their teaching primarily for the purpose of persecution and war. That goes for Christians, Muslims, etc - no one group is guilty or innocent of it. And those are the ones who pick and choose their religious teachings to fit what they want.
The boy was standing up for his mother.
"religous people shouldn't be forcing their beliefs on anyone else. That's what Judeo-Christianity is all about."
"Christians" and Mormon weirdos think the Bible requires them to convert, more or less aggressively, non-Christians.
Ok Moses. How does God feel about accounting students who regurgitate
everything their professor says?
Will you please show me a passage where God supports slavery? The way I understand the Bible, is God's followers are told to obey the laws of man also. Slavery was already part of man's laws.
He sounds like he was too, and not just resaying what his mother and cameraman had told him to say.The boy was standing up for his mother.
The end of slavery in America was started from a crazy notion that God created every man equal.
Bible God doesn't know about that notion.
"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness (WHITE): and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." Genesis 1:26 AKJV
If God supported man's laws, and man's laws included slavery, then it can be reasoned that God supported slavery.
FIFY . No where in the Bible does it have (WHITE). Good try though and Jesus was not white.
God obviously didn't think slavery was a sin.
By default, slavery gets two holy thumbs up.
Maybe in your mind, but not in mine. Also remember that slavery as we think of it today was not the only way the word was used then.
Show me the passage where God openly denounces the evils of slavery.
LOL...
You want God to settle this? I doubt there is any, but there might be. He did have Moses free his people from slavery, but I don't think that qualifies as an answer to your question.
Indentured servitude from the old testament is no different than being a slave to the workforce... you work for pay (food and a roof over your head). Hence, you have to follow the rules of your employer (master) otherwise you can get penalized (dock in pay, unpaid "off time", or even employment termination). People could actually work off their slavery, unlike the slavery of African-Americans that tarnished our country's past. Then there's the passage that talks about 'beating the slaves' into discipline... slightly different context but not all that disimillar to childrearing...
Not that you all would even consider the implications of the New Covenant in all of this...
No.
Genesis 17:
9And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.
13He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be cir cised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
Sure it is.
