LOL! Like Jesus used only actual historical events in his teaching... Oh, Nex was bullied for being queer. That had bearing in his/their death, whether that was from apparent suicide or other means. Had Nex not been bullied, it is presumed he/they would still be alive. I'm willing to accept...

Jesus’ resurrection is the staple of Christianity and its doctrines. Having been a devout Christian for 5 decades, I certainly understand its importance to the Christian faith. Without a literal bodily resurrection, there is no biblical inerrancy and no salvation (I Cor. 15). Personally, I no...

I've got an idea. Let's start listing religious clergy and workers who have been arrested for acts of pedophilia vs. those trans folks and drag queens and let's see which group is more dangerous to sexual predation. I will start with just one state: Florida and ONLY Southern Baptists, not other...

Ah, supporting abuse using the same justification/rhetoric that abusers use. And you wonder why I left "your" Christianity?

And the United States and Genocide Joe are complicit. https://www.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-02-29-24/h_c09b6821c90a21b059bc5baf5622b28c?Date=20240229&Profile=CNN&utm_content=1709211649&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter

Nope. Other side showed it was paid for by Club for Growth. Didn't say it was sent BY Evangelicals, only that they are putting a line in the sand that Evangelical morality (holding one's nose and voting for Trump) is no longer considered to be conservative enough. Their expectation is that one...

Looks like Republicans who don't condone Trump's hate and sexual proclivities are being called out for criticizing his BEHAVIOR. Which god do Evangelicals politically serve? Seems like the line is being drawn. Got this in the mail today.

IF this is true, will churches (of West Virginia) be mandated to check the immigration status of each of their bus ministry riders or risk criminalization? Curious... https://twitter.com/ACLU_WV/status/1762181342874177666 ACLU of WV @ACLU_WV The House has passed HB 5031 which would...

But one would be considered a sadist if one had the ability/opportunity to show mercy on one's son and not send him to eternal flames yet still choose to send him there anyway.

Which "Scriptures"? The 66-book canon for sure isn't the context of that alleged Petrine writing. And even if it were, it doesn't identify that the Fundamental/Evangelical hermeneutic is the correct one. But carry on.

You might want to look up what Sodom's real "sin" was what they did to and the neglect of the marginalized along with attempting to sexually assault angels. That sin wasn't consensual homosexual relationships. Now this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant...

In the U.S. and across the world, child marriage and forced marriage disproportionately affect girls and women. Some 86% of the children who married were girls, and most were wed to adult men (age 18 or older). The average spousal age of girls who married was four years, whereas when boys...

It will be interesting to see what unfolds: whether or not there will be a civil suit and if so, what evidences are presented. The other thing that still needs to be investigated as to whether or not this is a wrongful death since it seems homicide has been ruled out. The story and presentation...

Nope. It's a package deal. Not going to argue about this. You wanted reasons, I gave you a myriad of reasons. If you feel differently, fine. You can't take away my personal observations, experiences or feelings on this matter. This is not up for debate. The list was to prove my "freedom" isn't...

As far as regretting surgery, though sometimes there is regret, it seems to be rare. (Presumed adult cases.) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8099405/ Conclusions: Based on this review, there is an extremely low prevalence of regret in transgender patients after GAS. We believe this...

FYI, I would oppose such a bill and am for waiting for children to become 18 before being allowed to make such decisions against their parents' wishes. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/most-state-bans-on-gender-affirming-care-for-trans-youth-still-allow-controversial-intersex-surgery

Republican states have been working on this for years. https://www.newsweek.com/republicans-make-case-child-marriage-1786476

"Coming judgement" is a personal opinion you hold that others don't so it really doesn't matter to others and certainly isn't motivation for them. I too believe they won't experience judgement for being queer. Only a shallow, petty deity would create folks a certain way only to judge them for...

Sorry I missed the question when originally asked until you brought it to my attention in the other thread. "Biblical ethics" is a relative term with relative meaning so I don't know if the below would apply or not, but below is a list based on 5 decades of Fundagelical churches I've attended...
