The NT is our guide. If we receive direction outside of the NT the 'answer' we give should be no.

It saddens me when people don't reseach things for themselves. That thier default logic and reason is based in stereotypes and bigoted anger toward God.
Why not test what you've said here? Or do you not even know the religion you hate so much to even do that without looking foolish?
