On the first page of the thread I commend the church for encouraging people doing actual research on the other religions we were studying at the time, and by research I mean they actually wanted you to go on the internet and read this stuff on Wikipedia and other sites you can find credited sources on.
But "they" wanted me? Did you do it? I wouldn't have. God's not on the internet!

Are people without souls bad now? Because that kind of contradicts the point being made that I was originally addressing that made the claim Adam's family mated with such individuals. Additionally, what he said is biblical and can be supported by the bible as was also pointed out in this thread earlier.
I said "for the sake of argument". "Souless" was your words. I believe that we all have a soul. What good is it doing, would be my question.

Sorry about my tone...maybe I took yours from the op wrong! Plus, I have no "cause".

Maybe beyond your comprehension. But also, I can't understand everything. Just the important things.

LOL! I knew this was coming right after I wrote it. But, I meant what "men" deem as religion. Heck... anything can be a religion! There's a Jedi religion!
Jesus has the answer. And to call Him a religion is slighting His whole purpose. We contact the Lord one on one...we don't need groups of men making us do things, or telling us anything! Especially, someone like your Baptist minister, if he exists... who is further from God than you are!

That is the most awesomely ridiculous thing I might have ever heard from a christian!
Yeah, I'm sure there's a conspiracy to plant soulless men in baptist churches to sway .01% of the congregation away from god over a period of time that may take decades. Holy fuck, that is stupid.
