That what you believe the bible is saying IS what it's saying. I just think it would be nice if people could be a little more open to other possibilities.

Instead of trying to reach the masses first off, reach for yourself, become solid in your own foundation. Then, test the waters with some serious one on one, then if you are still confident, press on with your web-site idea. You did mention you were unhappy with the way things are taught currently. I should think you would want to resolve this issue before cluttering up a web-site with confusing and possibly contradictory statements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should keep you busy for a very long time ... are you up for the task? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bible should be read, and studied, by each Christian. When you ask 5 people their opinions on any subject you will get 5 different answers. The only opinion that matters in Bible study is God's. So if you are reading your Bible and come across an idea that seems to disagree with your opinion, then study it. Ask questions like what does the Bible say in other places about this? What are the words, meanings, and context usage in the original languages? Was a specific cultural issue being addressed? Do Old and New Testament address the same issue and do the answers differ? If they differ, why do they differ? Was the letter addressed to Greek, Roman, Jew? These are just a few of the things you need to look into and study before you come up with an opinion. For instance, you brought up homosexuality. Both Old and New Testaments speak against it. God created man, then took woman from him. He did not create another man so Adam could choose which one he wanted to be with. One of the issues prior to the judgment of Noah's Flood and also in Sodom and Gomorrah was homosexuality, and God gave judgment. So, opinions are good, but they need to be educated opinions based on Biblical truth and not opinions based on a fallen World view. We need to conform ourselves to the image of God and not conform God to the image of man. <>< ><> Nathele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are believes that feel like the different denominations should come together. Some places have a monthly meeting of some type - meal, or singing, etc. on a local level. You know if you ask Yahweh to guide you, He will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
