What do you mean by "reading the Bible as a standalone document?" It's a compilation of dozens of different works, written in multiple languages over several centuries, with different intended audiences and purposes. Which is why the Christianity you get from reading the Bible as a standalone document is utterly and completely different from the version anybody else will get.

then I must be wrong - I figured the two into one flesh referred to the child but the prostitute verse casts doubt on that interpretation.
so having sex with a prostitute is the same as marriage?
I still dont see how Jesus was identifying when sex is sinful or not, he's just telling people about divorce
I believe Jesus said divorce was allowed under certain circumstances so even he agreed marriages could be dissolvedScouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

Read that again.
"Ben Kenobi is the only one here who believes gay marriage is wrong"
"Ben Kenobi is the only one here who responded negatively to Mr Fun."
Gosh. I wonder if there's a correlation between disapproving of gay marriage and not being totally down with Mr. Fun. He undercut his own argument in an effort to ostracize me.
So we're back to 'stuff should be done the way I believe it should be done, the rest be damned'.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

Yet people like Ben seem quite happy to try and claim it's clarity and worthiness as a foundation of morality. Which is pretty ****ing funny really, considering even Christians end up with radically opposing views on even the most basic **** in there.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

BK, you misread regexcellent. Read his statement again. He said you are not the only person on this site who disapproves of gay marriage (true), but you are the only one who shat on MrFun's engagement thread (true).Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

The subtext there, in case you missed it (likely because you didn't even read the actual text correctly), is that you are a bad person.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

I am a bad person. I'm a sinner. So is Fun. The difference is that I don't post a thread telling people to celebrate my sin.
Had I refrained from saying anything it wouldn't make me a good person, nor would it make Fun a good person. He'd still be a sinner and so would I. That I spoke up and spoke the truth, doesn't make Mr. Fun a bad person nor does it me a good person either. It makes us still both sinners.
I believe I had an obligation to speak up. So I did. I accept that it means that a certain segment of Apolyton will hate me. But then, Poly isn't my God.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

Originally posted by Ben KenobiAgain, reread his statement. He may have intended to write this, but he wrote that you are the only person. Not was not in the original post. Hence my statement of him undercutting what was likely his point.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

I stand corrected. I *thought* that was odd. Read it right the first time.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

JESUS CHRIST Ben. Lorizael has the right of it here. What I was saying was that you are the ONLY PERSON on this site who is enough of an ******* to stir **** up over MrFun's happy moment. PLENTY of other people, including me, simply held their tongues and let him enjoy the praise and well-wishes of others that he is entitled to. It was a thread about HIM, not you, not gay marriage, not gay rights, not politics, but him and his partner who he is marrying in California. Yet you butted in and rained on his parade and that was just so ****ing out of line I wanted to break my monitor. This site is loosely moderated and that's a good thing but in my opinion you deserved to get a posting vacation for that.

People would rather you sit down, strapped in and shut up rather than call a spade a spade. And people were all to happy to clap for the Emperor's sheer clothing ensemble.

Facts are facts, Reg. Facts are true whether we like them or not. We all have our choices and I have made mine.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.
