It's 1800 and missionaries go to proclaim the gospel to natives in South America. They get shipwrecked and are stuck there permanently. Is it then immoral for them to intermarry? After all, it would seem to contradict God's plan, and that is the one thing that is immoral. Right?
No. The missionaries should take a vow of celibacy and chastity rather than contravene God's plans. They can likely better focus on evangelization without the distractions of sex, marriage and children.
Can you imagine a priest who is henpecked and has children to look after? I can't either!. It would not make for a holy and commited priest, let me tell you
Juggling is ordinarily a talent, but it is bothersome when Christians do it. I commend you for not juggling. For sticking to your guns no matter how bass ackwards your views are. A Christian like you is usually hard to find, so I'd like to run something by you if you don't mind. This is a little something I put by some Christians on their forums and the answers were... well... lots of juggling.
Is God above the law or not?
It would seem to me that the answer to this question is an obvious no. Jesus had to die because of the weight of the law. If God was above the law then he would just forgive everyone without sending his son to pay for the debts.
But then there is a problem. says,
The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
This, presumably, is directly from God.
Then in , David's son is killed by God because of sins committed by David.
So... is God above the law or not?
Jesus is like Pinocchio. He's the bastard son of a carpenter. And a liar. And he wishes he was real.
