While I am for gay marriages, I think the term 'marriage' can be possibly troublesome, because it has a lot of historical and religous overtones. I find it more likely that you could discuss homosexual 'unions' more sensibly than gay 'marriages'. (A...  [Read More]

I wonder if the fact it is all in the third person is an indication of this, or if there is a peculiarity in the original language that means its hard to tell first from third person? (say like japanese) Well, I think there's also a bit of a clue a...  [Read More]

If he has, fine, then its all cool. Yes - it is, which is why I was confused about the disagreement. You basically said 'You only need faith' TXA said 'Ermm - no. It matters what you do'. He wasn't, however, saying you don't need faith. He is - af...  [Read More]

Sure, you got to have faith, and do good deeds as well, but that alone won't get you in. You have to accept Christ (according to the religion. My verses posted say this) And txa doesn't accept Christ? He said he was a Christian :/ OK - spare me my...  [Read More]

If you don't have faith your behavior doesn't change. Very true. If your suppost to have experienced this 'life-altering' new change in faith, but it has no outward affect, can't have been much of a change. This is obvious. James was disturbed by m...  [Read More]

A lot of forums here, when asked, openly admit that they havn't read the Bible. They admit, not only by saying they don't, but by their posts, admit they don't understand. A few here, maybe - but there are many here who have, including myself. Luk...  [Read More]
