@NekoStarchild@bigbaddawg57@nobleisawinner One day, people will roll their eyes at the whole idea of magical person in the sky, just like to they do about the belief that the earth flat (according to the church!)
@bigbaddawg57@nobleisawinner Lee debating with ya “big bad dawg”! Healthy debate is good. And I respect you for not callinge names or responding with a gif. Shows your intelligence. Thank you, and peace out!
@NortonAngus@nobleisawinner So Angus let’s play your little word game. Jesus also didn’t condemn by word bestiality, pedophelia, incest, etc so in you little box are we to assume these are fine too??
See how ignorant your argument is??
@bigbaddawg57@nobleisawinner The Ten Commandments warn against false witness, adultery, and coveting wealth or power. When politicians claim strong Christian values, it’s reasonable to ask whether their behavior matches those teachings.
@bigbaddawg57@nobleisawinner If a politician claims Christian values, the Ten Commandments set a clear standard: don’t bear false witness, don’t commit adultery, don’t covet wealth or power. Voters can decide whether Donald Trump reflects those principles.
@bigbaddawg57@nobleisawinner Ah, ok, so I thought we were talking about contractions? Do you not think he is a contradiction? Or maybe you all know he is, but he's also a Judas goat for your desire to turn America into a religious state like Iran? Do tell...
@NortonAngus@nobleisawinner Finally your true colors. A Trump hater. Btw. Deflecting from my answer on homosexuality is basically your admission that I am right. You know in your heart that I am anyway. You seem to smart to fall for all this BS you spew🤷♂️
@bigbaddawg57@nobleisawinner The Ten Commandments condemn lying, adultery, and greed. When politicians invoke religion, voters are right to ask whether their actions reflect those principles. That’s a fair question for Donald Trump.
@bigbaddawg57@nobleisawinner So what are your views on thos. If someone publicly claims Christian values, it’s reasonable to ask whether their behavior reflects the moral principles of the Ten Commandments. Honesty, humility, and faithfulness are the standards
@bigbaddawg57@nobleisawinner Word games are so much fun. Jesus summarized the entire law in two commands: love God and love your neighbor (Matthew 22:37–39). Abuse and exploitation obviously violate that. That’s the moral framework he taught.
@bigbaddawg57@nobleisawinner Also, False comparison. Bestiality and pedophilia involve exploitation and harm. Jesus’ teaching focuses on loving others and avoiding harm (Matthew 7:12). That ethical principle is the core of his message.
@bigbaddawg57@nobleisawinner That comparison doesn’t hold. Bestiality, pedophilia, and incest involve exploitation or harm. Jesus’ moral framework centers on loving your neighbor and treating others as you would want to be treated (Matthew 7:12). That principle clearly rules out abuse.
Biblical texts were written in societies that did not think in terms of “gay” or “straight” identities.
The sexual practices being criticized in the ancient world often involved:
•prostitution
•exploitation of slaves
•temple rituals
•power relationships between older men and boys
Many historians argue the biblical authors were addressing those specific cultural practices, not modern consensual same-sex relationships.
@NortonAngus@ColleenMcK28709@nobleisawinner 1 Timothy 1:9-10
"...the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless & disobedient, for the ungodly & sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers & mothers, for murderers, the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality [arsenokoitai]
@bigbaddawg57@NekoStarchild@nobleisawinner In Book of Genesis 6:19, Noah is told to bring two of every kind.
But in Book of Genesis 7:2 he is told to bring seven pairs of clean animals.
Some interpret this as a distinction between clean and unclean animals, while others see conflicting instructions
@bigbaddawg57@NekoStarchild@nobleisawinner In Book of Ecclesiastes 1:4 it says:
“The earth remains forever.”
But in Second Epistle of Peter 3:10 it says:
“The earth and everything done in it will be laid bare” or destroyed
2. God commands killing vs God commands love
In parts of the Old Testament, God commands warfare. For example in First Book of Samuel 15:3 the Israelites are told to destroy the Amalekites.
But in the New Testament, Jesus teaches in Gospel of Matthew 5:44:
“Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.”
@bigbaddawg57@NekoStarchild@nobleisawinner In Book of Genesis 1, the order is:
plants → animals → humans (male and female together)
In Book of Genesis 2, the order is:
man → animals → woman
These appear to describe two different creation sequences.
