[2] For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus. [3] For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from unchastity; [4] that each one of you know how to take a wife for himself in holiness and honor, [5] not in the passion of lust like heathen who do not know God; [6] that no man transgress, and wrong his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we solemnly forewarned you. [7] For God has not called us for uncleanness, but in holiness. [8] Therefore whoever disregards this, disregards not man but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.
You really need to be more specific and give appropriate citations.
you are asking me to talk slower and use small words, right?
it's pretty damn simple...THX said he did fear God, I said that must mean he doesn't believe a certain part of the Bible that talks a lot about fearing God. You butted in suggesting I had the wrong part, that it was a different part of the Bible that dealt with the fear of God. I provided quotes for the relevant text to show that I indeed meant what I had said....not Psalms, Leviticus.
am I going to have to spell everything out for you, bodine?

For anyone with any doubt like TMK the above should prove that crabs is an instigator and an asshole.

I posted on the specific topic previously, butthead. So I thought you had read it. As I said you are an asshole and an ignorant....
Marriage must, if the word is to retain its meaning, be only between one man and one woman. For as critics on both sides of the debate acknowledge, we're having a hard time upholding the integrity of marriage among the heterosexual population. At this moment, we ought to be reinvesting marriage with the honor it once commanded, not bleeding it of substance.
Does it have to have a "purpose"? Other than what I impose on it myself?
It's a silly idea that I have no purpose or value in myself except what some more powerful entity decides for me, like I'm just a means to an end, and therefore as interchangeable as a battery. If I'm a sentient, self-aware being with choice and intelligence, I am my own purpose and I create my own purpose and meaning. Anything else makes me merely an object for someone else's use. Which I choose not to be, thank you very much.
As to same-sex marriage, those who think ONLY in terms of genitals have a problem with it. For them, it ALWAYS boils down to genital-only thinking. Whatever other reasons they give, when you analyze them and eliminate stuff that could apply to couples of any combination of genders,the ONLY thing left, inevitably, is always essentially "I don't like similar genitals bumping together, I only like contrasting ones." For these people, it's all about the sex, and only about the sex.
Those who think in terms of commitment, love, support, character, nurture, family, partnership -- those have no problem whatsoever with same-sex marriage, since those things apply to relationships of same gender as well as contrasting gender.
Mark 16:15-16 (He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. Whoever believes and is babtized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.)
Does it have to have a "purpose"? Other than what I impose on it myself?
Maybe some people's lives have no purpose, probably because they have rejectd God.
It's a silly idea that I have no purpose or value in myself except what some more powerful entity decides for me, like I'm just a means to an end, and therefore as interchangeable as a battery. It is silly to think that there isn't a powerful entity.If I'm a sentient, self-aware being with choice and intelligence, I am my own purpose and I create my own purpose and meaning. I know there are people that believe that.Anything else makes me merely an object for someone else's use. Which I choose not to be, thank you very much. Tell that to God on judgment day. He'll get a big laugh.

It is about morals. It is apparent that you don't understand and do not care.
No I read it (He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.) as being the purpose of life.
so, you read it that the purpose in life is to tell everyone that unless they are baptised they are condemned?
that's the purpose of life?
Tell that to God on judgment day. He'll get a big laugh.
you don't think God knows already? here's the deal, according to me, your god made me and if that is true that means he made me capable of not believing in him, so he has no one but himself to blame. If he wanted me to believe in him so much, he should have built me that way.
prayer. an empty gesture. wasted action on superstition. investment is more effective. spending money creates the assets needed to keep america free. god less america. god bless the prosperous who have taken this country and turned it into what it is today.
well don't tell me about it...keep it to yourself. don't you even understand what you believe?
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. - Matthew 6:5-6
the enemy is anyone who would not capitalize on the word of god for $$$ gain. assets are freedom and freedom is america. if you are not doing your part then you are definitely against us. cash in. be free. be an american. my friend jethro bodine knows this is true.
Christian holiday symbol can be on public property
as it should be. it sells. and $$$ is the meaning of chri$$$tmas. in fact if you don't display the appropriate symbols you are under suspicion of treason as far as i'm concerned. i'm sure jethro bodine would agree with me on this also.
Well here is a #1 JOE!!!!!!
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all those who practice it. His praise endures for ever! Psalms 111:10
Thanks, JT.
Don't thank me, thank the Lord.
:-)
thought it said to fear him
Thank Heaven this thread is finally up and running.
;-)
thought it said to fear him
I don't live in fear of God.
You're all just a bunch of random bytes in a program that I'm part of anyway. Once I'm gone from here, none of you will exist anyway.
I'll try to do the best I can to keep you all around but I think your extinction is inevitable.
;-)
then you obviously aren't a fan of Leviticus
wasn't it Psalms?
1 Thessalonians 4
[2] For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus.
[3] For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from unchastity;
[4] that each one of you know how to take a wife for himself in holiness and honor,
[5] not in the passion of lust like heathen who do not know God;
[6] that no man transgress, and wrong his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we solemnly forewarned you.
[7] For God has not called us for uncleanness, but in holiness.
[8] Therefore whoever disregards this, disregards not man but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.
Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear thy God:I am the LORD. - Leviticus 19:14
Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God:I am the LORD. - Leviticus 19:32
Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God:for I am the LORD your God. - Leviticus 25:17
Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God;that thy brother may live with thee. - Leviticus 25:36
Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but shalt fear thy God.- Leviticus 25:43

For the record, I didn't say I don't fear God, I said I don't live in fear of God.
What is the purpose of life?
actually, it was you who instigated. I was responding you your comments about something that wasn't even directed to you.
and you have already admitted to being an asshole, so the kettle's word is suspect.
actually, it was you who instigated.
There you go lying again.
and you have already admitted to being an asshole.
what i wrote was: "If I am an asshole to you, crabs..." Just another example of your lying ways.
What is the purpose of life?
actually, that wasn't the admission I was referring to.
besides, you arean asshole to me....no "ifs" about it.
good question....I don't know.
I don't have very strong suspicions that this ain't it though.
But what is the purpose of life?
What is the purpose of life?
to chastise and demean crabs?
You need a higher purpose, Jethro. The rest of us aren't interested.
You need a higher purpose, Jethro.
I wouldn't argue otherwise.

There's billions more where you came from.

Ever attend a gay pride parade? With them, it's about sex. :-)
You make a good point though. I disrespect promiscuity, it has nothing to do with your sexual preference.
Mark 16:15-16 (He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. Whoever believes and is babtized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.)
I don't think you know what I mean.
reality is reality...to have a problem with it is folly.
the best one can do is to understand it.
being baptised is the purpose of life? and here I thought the bible waid it was all about fucking

He gave you rules to follow and he gave you choice. You can choose to reject God but be prepared to pay the price.
If he wanted me to believe in him so much, he should have built me that way.
You must earn your salvation, crabs. So far you have earned no credit and are in debt.
no, men gave those rules.
you bow down before other men, not some god.
that's what you believe, isn't it?
that you are born a sinner and unless you pay your spiritual vig then you are gonna get fucked for it.
and how do you know I've "earned no credit" in your god's eyes anyway.
what does he take in tender anyway? because if it's to do what his son said to do, I'm betting that I've earned more credit than you have.
no, men gave those rules.
Such a statement is expected from a pagan.
because if it's to do what his son said to do, I'm betting that I've earned more credit than you have.
Dream on, crabs. It will comfort you up and until judgment day.
I'm not a pagan.
spirituality by threat...swell.
you didn't answer the question.
what's the coin of the realm to earn "credit" in your god's eyes?
what do you have to do, beside getting baptised that is?
ahhh, that's what i called the day i layed off all those workers in order to give myself a BIG FAT RAISE. merry chri$$$tmas middle class slobs.
