Questions for people who say Christians can't accept evolution

[ForwardFromEden]

I've never killed anyone, I don't cheat or steal, I've never gambled, and other than the occasional beer I don't really drink. I live my life in accordance with the law and because I don't want to nor have any reason to do harm to anyone. I think that's more important than saying I believe in a god. Our choices reflect the life we will live on earth. Its the only one we have. There may be something after death, but it sure isn't hell and heaven. The idea of hell is laughable to me because of how detailed people who tell me I'm going there make it. As if they would know The Bible is a very important piece of literature and it is incredibly useful as a learning tool, but not for science or morality or life.

It is not by works and not by deeds, but by Grace we will see God. Laughing at the 'idea' of Hell will not save you from it, just like your laughter will not stop a freight train from running over you if you stop on the tracks.

Answer the question. Why do you not preach against people who work on the Sabbath but preach against homosexuals? Where's your right to pick and choose what to follow in the Bible?

why do you care? we preach against lying, theft, adultery, murder, sexual deviance of all kinds.

it's what we preach for that would solve it all: love your neighbor as you love yourself. put their needs above your own. if we all did that? wow, what a wonderful world it would be (lol, as the song goes).

i'm sorry to say that i have never seen a happy homosexual. i've known many; the seeming happiness with the lifestyle is a facade. why support it, why not help them out of it, instead. God can do that.

I've seen unhappy closet homosexuals. But the ones who come out are much happier. They're free to be themselves. You have no right and are in no position to say that their happiness is a facade. Leave them be. It would be a wonderful world if no one judged anyone, but you claim scripture to do just that.

sure i have a right to. it is not judgment to say someone is unhappy. it is empathy to notice it and to take the time to see if it can be fixed. this is the meaning of 'love your neighbor'.

you go ahead and leave everyone alone. live and let live. don't notice what's under the surface. those shallow perceptions will insulate you from the grief of those around you.

yes, and even when the young rich man, came to Jesus, and asked the question..... WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED.... Jesus told him that he needed to keep the commandments, and the young rich man replied, I have kept them all, since my youth.....

what Jesus said next tore the young rich man up......

He said.... SALE ALL YOU HAVE AND GIVE IT TO THE POOR....

the young man walked away very sad, why? cause he was very wealthy and well, he looked at his money being better then following Christ.....

I know a man that while higher then a kite on drugs, was operating a motor boat and drove over a woman and leterally cut her in two...... I will see this man in Heaven, why? cause like Paul, he repented and has given his life over to Christ...... As deep as this man was in the pits, on his way to hell, he has climbed out and well, is doing very well, and working, on fire, for the Lord, even so that God has used this man to expell demons..... this man is no phoney.....

what matters is not so much what a person did or did not do, but who they worshipped/followed....

as Christ, Jesus said, IF YOU ARE NOT WITH ME, YOU ARE AGAINST ME.... and there is only one way into Heaven..... NO ONE CAN SEE THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH THE SON.....

with out Christ, there is no hope, all is lost....

Answer the question. Why do you not preach against people who work on the Sabbath but preach against homosexuals? Where's your right to pick and choose what to follow in the Bible?

Which day is the Sabbath? Now before you answer please be kind enough to prove your answer with a Biblical passage to do so.

Many people have to work on Saturday or Sunday, the two most common Sabbaths observed. The Bible says to remember the Sabbath and to keep it Holy. When my wife was off on Wednesdays and Thursdays, Wednesday was our Sabbath. She is now off Sunday and Monday, so we can observe the Sabbath on Sunday.

Now then as I have said before ................. next!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, its all relative then? Not one day is specifically the Sabbath day? But it says in the Bible to work 6 days. A lot of people have a regular 9-5 job, 5 days a week. So aren't they also in violation of god's law by not working on the weekend? And what about church? Why Sunday? Is that the Sabbath? If not, why did they choose Sunday to do it? The point is, you can't have it where people decide on their own what day the Sabbath is. That means its open to interpretation. And if one thing in the Bible is open to interpretation (in other words, the opinion of man), then what else is?

we are to take a day, and rest, relax, regenerate, recouperate and honor the Lord..... does it matter that one man observes Satuerday? or another Sunday? or even Wednesday?

was the Sabath created for God or man?

God gave us rules to live by so that we could have a relatively good life on this earth.... the food rules were more for health reasons, the sabath rule (even or the crops) is a wonderful thing, if a person has no time to rest, they burn out, I know, working 16 - 18 hours a day, 7 days a week for 6 months takes its toll on a person, that is one reson that the Navy trys to limit the underway (cruise) time....

man needs to rest, one day a week.....

Man was not meant to work, other then tending to the Garden of Eden, and the animals there. Man was clothed in the Glory of God, they had no needs, for God served them, provided everything for them. There was only one rule... JUST ONE..... and man broke that rule....

keeping the law is virtually impossible, that is one reason God gave us the Laws so that we would know that we could not do it on our own..... WE NEEDED HELP.... so God gave us His plan of how we could be overcomers, could be reinstated into God's family, that is Through His Son, Jesus, the Christs.....

The preaching I hear, and listen to, is not those that ping on one thing..... Homosexuals are only one form of sexual immorallity, you have human with animals, adults with juveniles, adultry (any sex that is done with some one that is not their spouse.....(spouse = Husband (man) or Wife (woman) = 1 man, 1 woman)) that wouud be any one that is not married having a relationship, that would be anyone married having a relationship with some one other then their spouse), it would also include self gradification, and even viewing porn.....

NONE OF THEM WILL SEE THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.... God has already told us the penalty for the offense....

others will be liars, thieves, murderers, and others..... we can get deeper......

God said: IF YOU LOVE ME, YOU WILL KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS...

not out of duty, out of love,

if you love God you will want to keep the commandments, if you love your neighbor (wife, husband, others) you will place them before yourself, and do things pleasing to them and for them...

is it pleasing to your spouse if you leave your cloths all over the house? or if you hit them or beat them??? is it pleasing to your neighbor if you break his windows? or would it be if you see a busted window to repair it?

just something to think about.....

yes, being in a world with out judgement is only a dream..... as far as Christians, well, some, Judge themselves daily, remaining on the paths of righteousness, living an upright and blameless life.

I hope some day you will actually pick up the Bible and allow the Holy Spirit to walk you through it....

I've never killed anyone, I don't cheat or steal, I've never gambled, and other than the occasional beer I don't really drink.

Those are laudable earthly attributes.

Given that you are someone who worries about his fellow man, it would seem to me you would be the first one in line to repent, renounce and turn away from your sins.

Anyone who sincerely opens their heart to our Lord and savior and the gift he offers bought at such a terrible price, will see Heaven. The word of God says it plainly.

This would include murderers, bank robbers, etc., anyone who finds them self convicted in their sin and do as I said above will see God and live forever in Heaven with the others who have accepted Christ and the truth of His story and tried to live as he would have them live.

I said it before I'll say it again, the way to salvation is your heart, not a lack of sins. If you have repented your sins and strive not to commit them again, that is the key. We all sin I think, and we must ask for forgiveness of our sins and tell God that with his help you wish to create a heart within yourself that is pleasing to God..

I don't think any of this is going to resonate with him....he's been banned.
