Creationism vs. Evolution

Says who?

Lots of Christians believe that only children who've been baptized in their particular church under their religious authority go to heaven. Those who haven't been are lost forever in their view. ..So who's right? You or them?

How is this supposed "point where you are accountable" determined, as you see it?

Is it like the Mormons, who draw a line in the sand at 8 years of age and baptize their kids whether they actually understand anything or not? Or is it more like the Catholics, who trot their babies off to church where a priest sprinkles water on their heads while mumbling words they can't understand? When do people "know right from wrong"? How is that determined?

What makes something inherently right or wrong? Is it right to kill those you religiously disagree with if your god instructs you to?

 

no difference. free will is free will under Gods law. God gave man the will to choose...and they all choose to sin in one way or another. myself included.

Jesus Christ suffered for our sins and provides grace for our sanctification and redemption. And God knows we all need it.

Homosexuals who sanctify their sins...and find redemption under the grace of Jesus Christ will find eternal life with our heavenly father. This applies to homosexuality no differently than any sexual sin by heterosexuals.

 

Close... but not quite there.

Not everybody needs my religion.
But everybody has a religion.

Except for leftist politics.
It is a religion.

 

what if they're gay?

 

Homosexuality is a choice. And in many parts of the world, a lifestyle.

I disagree.

I agree.

many things are legal. but not always moral or ethical.

 

Everyone believes in something. I'm actually very tolerant. I just don't justify the evil in others because wouldn't justify in myself.

Then their homosexual molester is accountable.

 

but it...along with many heterosexual acts...are sins under Gods law.

Currently, I know 4 personally. I know of more. And my deceased aunt was a lesbian.

My aunt was an awesome friend. And I'd call at least 2 of the 4 gay men I know personally friends.

 

once again

Do you have any homosexual friends? Or are you basing all of this from he-said he-said he heard that one guy's friend say

and the internet

 

im going to assume they were not all molested as tooter suggests.

 

I asked you a question.
Just a yes or no will do.

 

So, If you chose to... you can sleep with a guy and enjoy it?.

From personal experience, I know being gay is not a choice... No one wakes up one day and decides they want to risk losing everything and becoming the target of hate and violence.

 

I would assume homosexuals enjoy their lifestyle or they wouldn't continue to engage in it.

 

Indeed, But I don't see how it is a choice one makes willingly. Some people like seafood and others don't... Had nothing to do with choice.

 

homosexuality...like seafood for many, is an acquired taste.

 

With all of the possible differences and issues people can be born with how can you say homosexuality is always a choice? What facts do you have?

 

I've tried both multiple times and am fully aware of what my preference is as nothing that I already didn't know was acquired. And know many people with kids who now much rather go home and share a bed with the same sex.

I said "Always" a choice.
