| JinxRake said: If God is ultimate...and is inherently sexless...why did he give us sexes? If we are not to enjoy sex...why did he make it enjoyable? If he gave us free will...why did he create things to test our free will or to limit our free will? I will give this child this toy but I will boil him alive if he plays with it, because I decree it so...yikes. Why does God impose upon us rules that cannot be imposed on himself? He has no wife, he has no bodily child, he has no fluids, no nothing. He is literally telling us to not fuck around when he cannot even do such a thing. Why are we to listen to a book that was written in a day and age when women had no rights, the will of men was ultimate, slaves abounded, sleeping with young girls was perfectly acceptable, selling children was acceptable as well, torture and cruel punishment were the norm? Also, why should we listen to a book that has been revised / translated / edited time and time again, transcribed and generally modified in ways we cannot even begin to imagine, for purposes that could as well serve Man as a whole or just a man because he preferred it so?  I always think of this image when I hear that some saint heard the voice of God and people followed him onto their own deaths at times. I have asked the above questions time and time again and have never, EVER received a satisfactory answer, one in which I could not poke holes with just a bit of inspection. I have been told to shut up, I have been told that it's so because it's so - go go terrible religion teacher -, I have been told that God had protected his word - which I find to be baloney - and so on. I am not attacking the belief of someone. I am merely stating why I, as an individual, cannot believe and will not believe in this. To ask me to do this is to ask me to go against my nature and lie to myself just to...to what precisely? To believe in happily ever after? I say pas. |
We can have sex. Its just reserved for marriage. Is there anything with waiting for marriage and staying in a committed loving relationship?
Is there anything wrong with sex and lust before or out side of marriage? Sure, rape, players, beastiality, and cheating on your spouse.
God's will for is good. Its good for us to have control for our own bodies.
You imply thoughts for God. Those are your thoughts, not Gods.
On God himself being able to have sex. Actually God was capable of having sex. God was Jesus Christ in the flesh and Jesus never got married.
We should listen to the book because its God's word and we know it because of the self-evident truth and morals it holds.
You KNOW lying is wrong.
You KNOW stealing is wrong.
You KNOW its not okay to be a player and mess around with girls
You KNOW muder is wrong.
This is some of the principles the Bible teaches and you KNOW them to be true. Your against it because your learning towards evil. Are you going to stay like that?
All gaming systems, consoles/PC, have thier perks... why fight over preferences? I like Coke and you like Pepsi, that's it, let's not fight over which toy we like best cause that's what they are. Is someone's preference in a toy important or is the relationship between you and your neighbor more important? Answer is obvious, but THE most important thing is your relationship with God almighty. God Bless you in Jesus's name.
I can communicate without talking... I can send a loved one money without actually sending money... and I can commit theft without the product disappearing, the point of theft is the point of theft not one of it's possible symptoms which is the product dissappearing. The thief wants to gain something without paying for it, that's the point of theft, the thief doesn't have to care or anybody else has to care if the product dissappears. The product dissappearing is just a possible symptom of theft. Gifts are sacrfices, in order to give a gift, it has to be a genuine sacrfice/gift, meaning a copy of the game isn't still in your PC. Piracy is theft and/or being a culprit of theft.
