*prophets. Stupid fingers (can't blame the phone for that one).

I unmuted you

Moron

The webdip equivalent of Johnny Manziel's first half suspension.

I want to die the same day as Sbyvl and be there when he tries to claim he loved his fellow man as long as they were just like him.

I want to be there when you claim to be Christian

Let's briefly discuss how Sbyvl does not understand parts of the New Testament, and then end this stupid thread.

Sbyvl appeals to an act being 'unnatural' as a reason for a Christian to disapprove of it. This indicates a fundamental misreading of the book of Romans. In chapter 11, Paul gives us a metaphor of Christianity as a vine (please forgive the lengthy quote):

"19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in.” 20 Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear. 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either. 22 Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off. 23 And they also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again."

The Christian Church, in other words, is *inherently unnatural* and only exists through the stumbling of those who initially rejected the Messiah. Peter, as described in the book of Acts, addresses a similar mistake. That which we call unclean has been made clean by God. Our only responsibilities, as Christians, is to love God and love our neighbors as ourselves. Anything that is Phariseeism, and we must guard against it at all times.

You're an idiot. Throughout the Bible, it clearly states that homosexuality is evil. Why don't you look it up and stop composing apples to oranges.

You do realize that you're only garnering yourself more votes for biggest fool of the year by continuing to post.

yeah this thread is now superfluous because the selection of our Diplofool has been concluded.

So what if the Bible says that being gay is unnatural? I've read the Bible, and there is a lot of unnatural shit that goes on in that book. I would say that a dude dying then rising from the dead in a zombie-esque fashion is a lot less natural than me sucking a cock, because at least cock-sucking you can prove.

I will stop composing apples to oranges!

The Bible does not "clearly" or "throughout" state that homosexuality is evil. There are very few verses which unambiguously condemn homosexual behavior; certainly, there are less so than those which condemn oppressing the poor or abusing the weak.

The Bible is not a book about sex.

I do want to note one thing that the Bible, in fact Christ himself, clearly speaks against:

"

Matthew 5:22 [ceb] "But I say to you that everyone who is angry with their brother or sister will be in danger of judgment. If they say to their brother or sister, ‘You idiot,’ they will be in danger of being condemned by the governing council. And if they say, ‘You fool,’ they will be in danger of fiery hell."

"You're an idiot. Throughout the Bible, it clearly states that homosexuality is evil. Why don't you look it up and stop composing apples to oranges."'

Guess what, the bible also says that round hair cuts, lying, gluttony, divorce, eating shellfish, playing football, and allowing your wife to defend your life in a fight by grabbing your attacker's genitals are all also considered evil. Would it be safe to assume in this day and age that some of things banned in the bible are a tad but antiquated?

Ah but Jmo don't make him actually think about what he believes. It might makes his mind explode.

Sorry Celticfox, I have a slight problem with people who use the bible as a substitute for common sense and a moral compass. Sure it's good for guidance, but if someones only defense of their morals is the bible then I'd say it's safe to say they need to do some soul searching.

The bible is a moral compass, you buffoon

Yeah but with some people you're just wasting your breath, energy and time.

"The bible is a moral compass, you buffoon"

That's terrifying, it may be a guide, but you should not need a book to tell you right from wrong.

Those people are morons

When your God hates everything you hate, and likes everything you like, you can be sure that you created him, not vice versa.

Why yes Sbyvl people who don't listen to anyone else's opinions and stick blindly to beliefs, and just aren't reasonable are pretty moronic.

I worship Sbyvl.

Sbyvl am I going to hell for that?

Please don't send me to hell, Lord.

@Thucy: Define worship.

I vote for myself, just because I'd like to win something some day. If need be, I can create a bunch of crazy threads/replies, but I'd prefer not to have to stoop to that level.

you are god

diplofool is god

You're an idiot. However it is not my job to determine who goes to Hell.

god thinks im an idiot.



im screwed.

"That's terrifying, it may be a guide, but you should not need a book to tell you right from wrong."
@jmo, thank you. I am so glad to see someone publicly say that. Based on the previous messages I would say many of you think this, but it is nice to actually see it. You have no idea how many people I have to argue that point with (I am from the Southern United States). I don't care what anyone says, you're OK in my book.

Yay, Jmo found someone who actually likes him!
