Hey Drich, welcome back.

I've actually got a question for you. I guess I'll just ask it here:

In your opinion, does the Bible condemn body building? I know Paul implies that it's basically a waste of time, but I'm wondering if a case can be made to say it's 100% bad. I'm asking because my gymming buddy is a good friend of mine who is a hardcore believer...

• 1 Timothy 4:6-10:
  If you put these things before the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, being trained in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine that you have followed. Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself for godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come. The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance. For to this end we toil and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Saviour of all people, especially of those who believe.

Drich can come up with his own answer - here's my answer. No the Bible doesn't say it's bad. Anything that has "some value" isn't bad.

Yeah, this is what I've read before which doesn't outright say you shouldn't. I'm wondering if there was anything else or if that's it..

Thanks for that.

Hi Drich.

Could you please answer these questions from this POST from your thread Avoiding questions.

You said before you wanted to change my plan of attack. Please enlighten us all of what this "attack" was and/or "the argument"?


If you could only have one holy bible(and no blue letter bible) which one would you pick and why?


Please show me a link to buy the blue letter bible? Please do not just point to their website, as I have searched and could not find. So if it is there I need a direct link.


Please show me where בהו bohuw means "with out life"?(Leaving a surname and saying it is not online does not show it.)

(and by the way fucktard, it appears that they're destroying CDs or maybe DVDs of some kind in that propagandist picture you posted)

If they are Adam Sandler movies then I am in favour of the burning.

...it seems my task here remains ...

Only a christard or a troll thinks he has "work" to do on an atheist forum.

Christard
you get a rep for that

Welcome back, old friend. You know, I realise you intended your thread title to suggest a kind of childlike sing-song pronunciation, and this is really bad of me, but I read it more as a sheep sound. I can't think why

Maybe it is because you all have been taught to think the same way about Christians and don't even realize it.. Baa

Anything not done for the glory of God can be identified as a waist of time. So I guess it depends on the reason why your friend works out. Is it to become more appealing to his sexual demo, or has he found some way to serve God through his effort? (Kinda like Samson in a non philistine killing way.) it all becomes a matter of the heart.

I see the spell checker wasn't on santa's list...

I could not responsiably do both.

a waist of time.

ok, this second one wouldn't be picked up by the spell checker...
