Quote:Do you have examples of either claim?
Quote:Homosexuality is an example of "orders are orders". Many Christians claim to see nothing wrong with homosexuality from their personal moral perspective, but they oppose homosexuality because they believe God opposes homosexuality.
The 40,000 Christian denominations is an example of the ambiguity of the Holy Bible, Holy Spirit, Holy Tradition, etc.
On this thread, Drich has said that under some circumstances, genocide is good. On other threads, he made a similar defense about slavery. Many Christians would strongly disagree with him. Yet, he has used the same bible as those of his faith who would be shocked at his statements. He strongly thinks that his interpretation is correct. The problem is that the bible can be used to both defend some very horrible actions and to inspire people to do very good things. For a book sanctioned by a supposedly all powerful, all knowing god, it is surprisingly confusing about what is moral and what is not.
So, what do you think about Drich's statements, Ignorant? Do you agree with them? Do you believe that under some circumstances genocide is acceptable? Do you think that sex between consenting unmarried adults is worse than drowning a large portion of humanity?
Slightly off topics, but thank you to the Christians who have answered this thread. I like to debate but the discussion is boring if we all agree with one another.
