Re: The Gay Thread cont.
Inspired, literal, does it really matter?
Either way someone believes in God and if they believe one or the other (to me) that doesn't determine the level of someones Christianity.

Re: The Gay Thread cont.
Threads like this make me feel even better about being a Deist.

Re: The Gay Thread cont.
Christians in this country spent six months having an aneurism about Muslims building a Mosque several blocks from ground zero and then southern states started trying to stop the building of mosques anywhere.
I would love to see two long haired Muslim-looking individuals come hiking out of the desert speaking no native tongue and watch how many baptists churches would allow these two travelers to sleep on the floor of their church unsupervised. Never happen, not in this country.

He said Christians, not baptist specifically. You're mixing the two, on purpose (and we all know why).
Also, could you imagine if two Baptist were walking in Iran and came across to members of Al-Qaeda I'd imagine you'd seem them get a place to sleep and some food and water as well, right?
EDIT: One other thing, Galen. Seriously, why do you talk about how bad this country is and talk about Muslim countries/people like they are so tolerant? Could you list me (other than your one story) some examples of religious tolerance by Muslim people or countries?Last edited by NCRAVEN; 05-24-2012 at 05:32 PM.

Uh, yes, it does matter. Please note my post. If you don't take the whole thing as true and throw out what you don't like what does it matter?
If you believe Jesus is who he said he was and you accept the offer of him to bear your sins you are a Christian. You don't have to take the Bible as literal to do that. I just wonder why people would believe that part and not the rest.
You know, if you really study Christianity nothing it more freeing.
1 Corinthians 10:23 - "Everything is permissible"--but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible"--but not everything is constructive.
Christians and only Christians are freed from the Law completely. But if you really accept Christ as your Lord and Savior these things, while legal, are not as attractive as they once were. And much of them become reprehensible.
