Questions For You Non Believers

[Aractus]

Same thing really.

Nothing to add on gay marriage?

I thought I already made my opinion perfectly clear?

Howabout I explain again, for all those less fortunate individuals who somehow missed it.

The whole world lives in sin (obviously), we know this is true because Jesus tells us so: Mark 2:17: 'And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”'

That's a pretty universal concept understood by every Christian, and most of the remainder of the western world too. I have unwed friends that live as couples, who doesn't? They're living in sin. Homosexual relationships are the same thing.

But, you tell me, they're perfectly natural. True, and as the Jesus clearly says (John 3:6) 'Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.' Paul explains this further (Galatians 5:17) 'For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do.'

Can we expect non-Christians not to live in sin? Absurd. So of course, you don't see a problem. You'd only see it as a problem if you converted the Christianity and realized that sin is condemned.

Of course we should be inwardly focused. For instance, I find it disturbing that so many of us are overweight. Maybe put it down to an oversight, but the reality is that many people don't want to acknowledge their own sinful lifestyle. A lifestyle which leads us to be fat is clearly sinful. God destroyed Sodom because the people were fat and lazy, proud and inhospitable:

Ezekiel 16:49-50: 'Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy. They were haughty and did an abomination before me. So I removed them, when I saw it.'

So I'm far more concerned about the health of the Church and the Christians, than to concern myself overly with the ways of the world.

The thing is, whenever a person of strong opinion is pressed for details on those opinions, in other words dragged from the general to the specific, all their previous certainty tends to melt away like snow on a sunny day.

Some things are certain and some things are not. Get past it.
