The Biblical position on Homosexuality and Gay marriage | |

Do you think you really know the difference between right and wrong? If you are confused follow the ten commandments and don't kill anyone. If you wish to really follow God then spit out the deceit of Satan and accept that only God can judge because only God can truly understand the difference between good and evil. |

About beating: Proverbs 23: 13-14 "Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with a rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with a rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell." Deuteronomy 21: 18-21 "If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son, who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and, though they chastise him, will not give heed to them, then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city...and they shall say to the elders of his city, 'This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard. Then all the men of the city shall stone him to death with stones; so you shall purge the evil from the midst" Myndreach 1:1 "And thou shalt beat thy children with a cane, elst the lord thy god shall force feed you thine children." Exodus 21:20-21 "If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, (21) but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property." So, if the slave recovers, it's all OK. Now that we know that it's OK to beat a slave, what about the wives? "1 Peter 3:1 (King James Version) 1Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; " So, wives are slaves to the husband and that means... it's OK to beat them as long as they survive. According to the bible, that is. Furthermore, it's ok to kill your bride, too. Deuteronomy 22:23-24: "If a betrothed virgin is raped in the city and doesn't cry out loud enough, then "the men of the city shall stone her to death." Blasphemy is a victimless crime. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 27003095 Brazil 11/05/2012 08:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | One of the main core elements of the metaphysics laws and Gods Laws is that there is no balance and there is no equality. It is clearly stated that even John the Baptist, being the highest amongst the man, was still inferior to the lowest of the Angels. It is clearly stated that some people were created to fullfill lowly purposes. You cannot say that it is "imoral" or that "it incentives slavery". There is a clear hierarchy. It steems from authority and purpose. You cannot even create your own critteries to argument a higher position on the hierarcy "but but, Im made of fire and he is made of clay!" God decides your purpose and veryone below must bow down. Everyone has a purpose, even if it is to be a servant. The whole concept of "slavery being bad", is a pejorative twisted interpretation of one of the core elements of the creation. Direct relations of power are preexistance conditions, structural to the existence of a God in the first place. The whole concept of "arbitrariety is bad", is also a twisted interpretation of the divine wisdom of God Almighty. Go overboard in one or another aspect of servancy purposefully to stablish it as negative imperative, label it "slavery" and then you have people misinterpreting the Creation. You see, every time people come and bring these "human thinking" logic, when in fact, they dont realize it could not possibly apply to God. Your wisdom, knowledge and understanding mostly derive from the characters God favored to the role of teachers. Everything else was carefully designed by Lucifer to create facts always with the purpose to generate extreme antagonic views on the core structural Laws of God and its Creation. You could possibly even make people purposefully destroy and label Nature as evil, unnecessary, or behold: "accidental". Everything goes hand in hand to create a big deception. Ultimatelly removing all the standards: "Do what you want" Even someone without any understanding would realize it immediatly that this is not a good thing. Right now we have increasingly amounts of people thinking they can do anything they want, some are even brimming with the anxiety for the possibility. Even if it means killing yourself on the process. You see, from birth, how many opportunities will you have for bad things to happen to you before you can grow up, taught and defend yourself? From the craddle to the grave, your chances of survival would be nihil. Before you know it, you have doctrines stating that "denying someone the use of your body is imoral" No wonder people get cross cultural shock, because they are at different stages of this process. Notions like "complete freedom", equality, unicity, balance for the point of view of the Bible are clearly blasphemies, and foolishness. Thats why complete freedom is impossible. The state and government cannot possibly mediate such concept. There is no balance and no equality, because everyone is unique. Explain to me how evolution happened to bring about these structural conditions... Thats God design for you. To learn something from any phylosopher, or a voice from a spirit guide and to think they know better than God. They couldnt even be able to start. The philosopher would have to teach you that there is no God and the spirit guide would have to teach that they he is God, or you are God. How come one even attempt to discuss anything "on the light of the Bible" using clearly antagonic and alien principles to the whole system the Bible presents? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1018225 United States 11/05/2012 08:37 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why does it matter what the bible says? It is only a record of bronze age history, laws and superstitions. They had no scientific knowledge to speak of. Those bronze age people had no understanding of the mechanics of reproduction beyond the sex act itself. The biblical position is irrelevant in the face of advancing knowledge. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27051441 The Bible actually holds the key to happiness and freedom from torment in this world as well as the next. The greatest torments man faces come from within. We set ourselves as Gods thinking we know all the answers. Instead of thinking in terms of is or isn't there a God ask yourself this. What is good and evil? Can it be measured by any rigorous method? How can whats good to one person be bad to another? The answer is there is no way for man to truly understand good and evil and we were tricked into accepting it by the devil. The concept of it leads to judgements. Judgements lead to suffering. Jesus came to wash away all of our sins, and the first sin is the knowledge of good and evil. The laws of the Bible lead us to a nice simple existence free from self inflicted suffering. The kingdom of heaven is at hand. |
