Maybe try not talking about what jebus said and rather give YOUR OWN interpretations of what the 'holy book' says. Other christians here can provide arguments without reverting to stock quotations from the bible. Why can't you?

Stucky, chill with the temper tantrum. You can easily ascertain what preaching is by taking the advice of people here. We are understanding of the fact that you don't quite get what preaching is, so we are willing to help you find your place here and converse with you. However, that will change quickly if you continue to call us pigs.

Sorry, frustration again, I wasn't calling anyone a pig, it's a phrase that Jesus used when referring to trying to give the truth to people that refuse to even listen. I got frustrated at another member here making personally abusive remarks against me.

First, His name is Jesus and you are just denigrating my faith. I haven't made a personal remark like that to you and I am offended that you would make a remark like that. Do you do the same to ALLAH or Buddha or any other diety?

I gave my own interpretations. You just chose not to believe them, which is fine.

I'm not seeing personally abusive remarks. Maybe you need to take a look at how we all interact with each other before taking things personally. We give each other no quarter, either. Atheists here call out other atheists as well, so don't feel singled out.

If you are going to get offended at someone saying jebus then I'm afraid that you are going to spend most of your time here simply being offended.

And yes, we certainly would take the piss out of Allah or any other God. There are more Christians than Muslims, and most of us live in countries where Christianity is the prominent religion. That's why you'll see more discussion around your religion than any other.

So, why is homosexuality and extra-marital sex wrong Stucky?

Ignore the abuse, it is in jest, trust me. This site is full of sarcasm. But harmless humour none the less.

On christian forums i have been told i'll go to hell for my beliefs and im immoral. And that im a devil for stating my beliefs in same sex marriage and my beliefs that homophobic rhetoric is immoral.

You'll never get that nasty abuse here, just sarky banter.

LOL, I've been told all of that here......
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Salvation is given to anyone, anywhere in the world, that accepts Jesus free gift of forgiveness.

Now, I know that some will say "What about the person that never heard of Jesus?" and all I can respond, through faith, is that God said in the Bible that He has put the knowledge of Him and a persopns need for a Saviour in the heart of every living person and if a person acknowledges their sin and their need for a Saviour (which the Jews did before Jesus was born) then they are saved.

So I could commit a mad genocide AND GET OFF SCOTT FREE! WHAT KIND OF BLACK MAGIC IS THIS!
