But what if god called you up and wanted a good time? Would that pose a dilemma for you? At the very least, you could give him some phone sex.

I find the notion that you may never breed far more comforting then any of the Psalms.

That’s exactly what it means. Have you ever actually read the Bible? And you aren’t just ignoring some OT rule about stoning those who lust after other people’s spouses (hint), but one of the core teachings of the Christ you profess to follow.

Sorry missed it, not used to the^^^ thing

So why did you post the MM was going to Hell? Your answer to me was “He could” let her into his grace. Are claiming to know the mind of God? Are you not casting judgement on others? Do you know that this is a sin in itself?

Sorry I am back at CINO with you

^^^ All that I can tell you is that Matthew 18:6 says it all for me.

But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

The good thing is that God would never ask of me such a thing.

I said that he could send her downward because she went ahead and did herself in anyways.

If he could command someone to kill his son, then I don’t find it out in left field that he could ask you for a hand job.

Well, as **Zakalwe** noted, what do you think Jesus meant when he said _“resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also”_?

In other words, if somebody’s doing evil to you (such as smiting or raping, for example), you’re not supposed to resist them.

How can you even pretend to be a Christian and not know that Jesus said this?

If resisting is wrong I pray that the Lord does forgive me, but I don’t think that it is in several cases.

God bless you always!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

Holly,

You said you believed she was sent to hell to paraphrase, that is why you were pitted, that is distinctly different than saying God could have sent her to hell.

Now we are all sure that you are not a theologian but you can dial it back and say you don’t know

So…

You made it pretty clear the my fellow Mumper and Houstonian **drewtwo99** is doing a big no no. I say that how would a loving God deny him true love because he happens to be gay. God made him that way or if you believe that he was converted God allowed that, which is total woo. Did God decide he needed to live without love and affection or should be forced to marry a woman he cannot love. In what way does that make him an awesome or wonderful God? How can you reconcile a God that loves you forcing you into a loveless life?

**Capt**

Oh good, then we can just decide to contradict the decrees of the Bible about what we’re not supposed to do—and even the directly expressed words of Jesus Himself—as long as we personally “don’t think that it is” wrong?

Sweet! That takes care of the whole suicide-prohibition issue, for example: “If suicide is wrong I pray that the Lord does forgive suicides, but I don’t think that it is in several cases.” There you go, a convenient get-out-of-Hell-free card!

If resisting violence is not wrong, even in direct contradiction of the words of Jesus, because **James Otto Sweet Heart** “doesn’t think that it is”, then by the same token suicide is not wrong if some unhappy soul “doesn’t think that it is”. Simple as pie.

Thank you very much, and in return I hope that terrible rash of yours clears up! 🙂 🙂 🙂
