Hi Triobyteme Alan,
You still subscribe to the Russellite doctrines, just like your fellow intellectual Penton. Hmm, but you seem to have left God out of the picture and he hasn't! Nor has Ray Franz, Randy Watters, Ros, Carl Johnson, Ron Frye and too many to count.
Where'd you take the wrong turn in the 'evidence' that you so crow about?
How is the latest prescription doing for your mental health? I see you are not using vulgarities as frequently.
That's an improvement.

Francis the French Fruitcake,
Does it make you feel real adult to use the "F" word? Is it cool and does it make you feel like a real man? You have no class and you have the debating skills of a kindergartner on crack.
If you had ever gone beyond the Watchtower and into REAL Bible research, you'd know that turmoil in Jerusalem was predicted right through till the second coming of Christ. You'd also know that the ingathering of the Jewish nation was another prophecy.

I can't speak for all of course, but our church welcomes all who want to worship. I know of many denominations in our area which does so. As a Southen Baptist we know that no earthly organization is really Christian, they are meeting places for those who find common views. We are all CHRISTIANS first and denomination second.
That's one thing that sets us apart from cults and Catholics!

Rex,
Yes I know this is a philosophical discussion but you are linking homosexuality to pedophilia. The point I was making in my post was this, you can not compare one to the other. Just because someone is a homosexual doesn’t mean they are going molest a child anymore then all fundamentalist are going to picket funerals of gays or visit prostitutes or steal money from the people who believe in them.And my point is that relative or subjective moral laws are a contradiction and eventually results in the lowest common denominator being the norm for society. I don't know of any of the above occurances. BTW, A favorite activity here is to blame Christ for the sins perpetrated by people claiming to follow Him and also a lack of udnerstanding that becoming a Christian does not result in sinlessness.
>You like so many other fundamentalists, try and use the comparison of homosexuals with pedophiles to scare people and keep them in fear in order to get society to live by your moral code and your code only.
Nope, not at all. I will minister to anyone who comes to church seeking understanding and forgiveness. Homosexuality is no greater sin than gossiping or anything else. "My' moral code is not "mine", it is scriptural.
>You say no one should judge you. That they do not have the right, yet you continually make moral judgements on anyone who does not agree with your way of thinking.
Nope, I judge ONLY in a scriptural view, not of my own opinion. I can and do make mistakes though, for I am no better than any other human being. I DO try to let the Holy Spirit mold me into being more Christlike but He has a big job there! ;-)
>ell I guess we all should continually compare you to the likes of Fred Phelps and the others I mentioned. That we should prejudge you according to their behavior. Would this be fair? That was my point Rex and I have no doubt that you got my point. You just didn’t want to acknowledge the point I was making.
Sure, generalities are never wholly accurate. My point is still that in a world of subjective morality, anything goes because there is NO BASIS for morality without a sovereign God to layout those principals.
We have been stirring the wind for decades now we are reaping the whirlwind. Western civilization has begun a long, steady, downward spiral and it will not be arrested until the majority turn back to God.

Hi Jimbo,
Perhaps you had better concentrate on your legal and financial problems instead of wasting time on ludicrous attempts to critique things you don't understand? Like the Bible.
Of course, you cannot even pray about your problems until you turn from the evil you embrace.
Cheers!

I suppose that newbies who don't know that I am NOT a JW supporter should just STICK IT until they take the time to know WHAT they are talking about, Bernard.

Some general thoughts:

It is the whole point! You claim that morality is subjective but deny the right of those who have a different view of morality to practice their moral code.
As the poster said, "you cannot have it both ways."
If you want morality you must have an established norm that transends human authority and includes God's soverignty. Otherwise what you get is a changing morality that grows more extreme until their is a event that arrests it's course.
Often the event is a fall of a civilization.>With some actions, consequences can be subjective, yes. But with the important matters, where real harm can be done, the consequences are apparent to all. Sometimes it takes a while for society to notice those bad consequences, but it eventually figures it out and changes accordingly.
Where does that put my ancient greek example? People are still promoting the subjugation of young boys to adult desires and with your brand of subjective morality they have every right to press the issue. NAMBLA keeps coming home like a "chicken to roost".
>
Why is it wrong to filter out dangerous sites to those who are too immature too handle corruption that turns adults into porn addicts?
>That's a very loaded question, for most children are reading porn these days and yet very few will grow up to be porn addicts. One does not automatically lead to the other any more than trying some alcohol will automatically lead to alcoholism.
Very few? Are you really sure of that.
>As for filters, they don't work, kids can get around them, they block non-pornographic material including political material the filtering companies don't like, and they violate the constitution. Other than that, they are great.
You contend that to do nothing is better, just because nothing designed fits your perfect ACLU stamp of approval image? Got to run, we'll talk more later. As far as focus goes, you do need to check and see what rhetoric and nisinformation that tou have swallowed. One big one is the idea that some here accept is that "sexual persuasion is 'genetic'." That is the biggest lie promoted by both the Gay Lib movement and NAMBLA.

Hi Alirobbi,
We are arguing a philosophical point and it just so happens that it concerns homosexuality and it's distant relationship to pedeophilia. Heterosexuality also contains the same issue and could provide the same example.
We all sin and ALL sin is equal in God's eyes. My intent is not to pick on homosexuality. I also posted material from a friend who argues that NAMBLA has the same right to declare it's views as valid in a society that rejects moral absolutes. A society that rejects God's sovereignty.
