You stated earlier that science had tested some of these things and proved them false...show me the proof.So you want me to show you scientific proof of something that isn't bound by physics, without using science?
Im not saying that The Old Testament no longer applies or has no meaning. But, if you did read the Bible cover to cover you would have read that in the Law was only death as no man could keep it. But the sacrifice that God made as Jesus the Savior, fulfilled the Law and He could then cover our sins in His blood. You cannot simply look at it as a white or black. The Law was more than just the 10 commandments as Grace is more than just confessing Jesus as Lord.The Judeo-Christian god isn't the only god. You refer to the old testament like it doesn't apply anymore. Are we to believe that believers are no longer bound by the ten commandments? Or by any law put fourth in the old testament?
You missed my whole point. Slavery now would be considered as evil and inhumane, but in that period of time yes it was the norm. And also the civil rights movement, Your grandparents ( if they lived in the u.s.) probably saw blacks as niggers and worth nothing and were probably very prejudice and racist...these days, things like this are looked down upon. Once again, I think you missed the point.So since slavery was back in the day, and it was the norm, it was ok? Paid slavery is no longer slavery proper, they're called servants, indentured or otherwise.
Yes God does have His will, our freedom lies in the action of us choosing to obey it or not. It is also clear in Federal and State law what is constituted as a crime and the punishments for it. Yet you do not seem to object to it...why?You dont believe in Gods will? It's laid out perfectly clear in the bible who he condemns.
If you were sincere and truly turned from it and actually tried to make a difference...yes you would be forgiven. Like I said, your idea of fair is not the same as Gods' apparently. The reason you would go to hell for homosexuality is the fact that there is no repentance involved. You do not see it as wrong, yet God declares it so. Once again, I don't believe in all the laws of our land, yet if i break them i will be punished. Yes that is what I believe, it is as simple as natural law of cause and effect....The justice system of most civilized nations mirrors that of the Judeo-Christian religion. How do I know this? Because it is thousands of years old as our modern justice system is not.So if I rape and kill a bunch of children, then come to a realization that I was genuinely out of my mind, and I repented, and went to my grave never killing or raping again, I can get into heaven. But if I fall in love with another man, and do everything I would to him as I would with a woman, to my grave with the same man the whole time, happy every minute of it, I'll go to hell. If I live my life the way I want, and completely reject everything about god and religion, and then die, and then find out that it was in fact all real, I'll still go to hell. This is how your bible is laid out. This is what you believe?
What I see here has not changed, you still seem to have more of a problem with the "church", "religion", and "christians" in general. Your real underlying problem still isn't with God Himself...I would like to conduct an experiment with you....if you are truly "open minded" then you would be willing to find what actual "truth" was yes? I mean to say that, whether the evidence pointed towards God existing or not, you would choose your beliefs on whatever was most factual. So, that being said, I would like for you to try something. Pm me for details.
