Nice deflection. I didn't say that there aren't Bible verses addressed to women. I said that one particular verse is directed at the men, not the women.
Quote:People misusing the intent of scripture does not make the scripture itself evil, so you can stop using that tactic.
When scripture specifically permits the ownership of slaves, I would say the scripture is evil. Unless, of course, you want to argue that slavery is not evil.
Quote:I think it is you who needs to learn about context.
I'm sure you do.
Quote:Homosexuality was not prohibited only under the Mosaic Covenant, so again wise up.
Aren't the Ten Commandments under the Mosaic Covenant? Do they no longer apply?
Quote:When Christ had communion with his disciples the new covenant had begun, so the laws that only applied under the Mosaic Covenent do not apply. Just like laws under the Adamic Covenent were changed under the following Covenent. This is basic stuff, though considering you are not qualified in this area I am not surprised you'd muck it up.
So show me somewhere in the Bible where it says the laws of the "Mosaic Covenant" no longer apply. Every time I ask this question I get deflections, silence, or the runaround.
Quote:So it's only wrong because YOU don't like it and you think it is wrong? Yeah that's not going to cut it, I'll let you take another swing at that one though.
I gave you my reasons why I think discrimination is wrong. I use my thought process and conscience when deciding if something is moral or not. Now, how do YOU decide what is moral? (A question you "forgot" to answer in your last reply.)
I also notice you refused to answer every question I threw your way. Why is that?
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
