i give it about 6 months

It actually depends on how long they've known each other... the longer it is, the longer they'll last, but this depends whether a 3rd self doesn't interfere though :)

Dear Andy,

As you are so clearly intent on living your life according to the Old Testament, I feel it my duty to outline a few points you may have overlooked.

• It is wrong to remarry after a divorce (Matthew 19:9)
• It is wrong to gossip (Proverbs 6:19)
• It is wrong to disobey your parents (Colossians 3:20)
• It is wrong to eat too much (Proverbs 23:20)
• It is wrong to be drunk (Proverbs 23:20)
• It is wrong to misuse the name of God (Exodus 20:7)
• It is wrong to work on a Sunday (Exodus 20:8 )
• It is wrong to dishonour your parents (Exodus 20:12)
• It is wrong to wear clothing made from differing materials (Leviticus 19:19)
• It is wrong to pay people on the same day they work (Leviticus 19:13)
• It is wrong to trim your beard or cut your forelocks (Leviticus 19:27)
• It is wrong to sit in the presence of the elderly (Leviticus 19:32)
• It is wrong to eat shellfish (Leviticus 11:10)
• It is wrong to eat animal fat (Leviticus 3:17)

I hope this list was helpful. Now you may live a more righteous life and enter into Heaven, as you are hoping.

So, with all of these terrible afflictions plaguing mankind--so many sinners no matter where you look--why are you not out there reminding them of their evils? Why is it that you focus so strongly on this single issue of homosexuality? What exactly is your obsession? Did you indulge yourself as a teen, but now feel embarrassed and regretful, and want to make sure nobody else makes the same mistake?

But wait, aren't you Christian? If so, there's something else you may have overlooked. I'd like to think not, but since you're pointing out the law from the Old Testament, it seems like you may have. That thing? It's just the old insignificant part where Jesus died on the cross. Does it ring any bells? I suppose it is quite easy to forget.

The entire point of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross was to absolve humanity of the inherited sins and covenants. In other words, obligations from the Old Testament no longer apply. "It is finished." (John 19:30)

So, by continuing to follow, and requiring others follow, the Old Testament, what you're really saying is "Jesus died on the cross, but I don't really care - it was for nothing. Haha, what a fool!"

Now, if you want to be a good Christian, you should follow the New Testament. That contains the teachings of Jesus and his followers - this is where Christianity comes from. Good luck finding quotes to support your bigotry there; and if you continue to quote the Old Testament, then you are showing yourself to be both a bad Christian and a hypocrite.

A good Christian strives to live as Jesus did - with love, understanding, tolerance, and forgiveness.

With love (a strong manly love, between two men, totally not homosexual),
Tedd.


P.S. Religion is much like having a penis. You have every right to own one; you have every right to enjoy it; and you have every right to be proud of it. But do not try to shove it down others' throats (at least without invitation.)

 :icon_mrgreen:  :icon_mrgreen: Here's a controversial explanation:  :icon_mrgreen:  :icon_mrgreen:
Magnum:
By letting religion interfere with natural selection, you will 'propagate' your problem.

By forcing people to be what they're not really are, you..

1) Make a lot of people unhappy, which will lead to some type of revolution
2) Widen the Gay gene pool, which will increase the gay revolutionary numbers.
3) One day it'll be just to dangerous just to drop the soap in the street.

So by allowing same-sex marriages, etc

1) They'll be happy (although they can be super bitchez) = no revolution.
2) Gay gene pool, by natural selection, is reduced..
3) and you'll be free to shop for all your sanitary requirements, without having to continuously look behind you..

Oh,you guys are being mean to the "Special" kid,now stop that and go play kick ball over there....(sorry,don't mean to be sarcastic but it was kinda an open shot) Forgive me hutch,I will go and sin no more...Hail hutch full of grace....

> Hail hutch full of grace....

Wasn't it Mary that was "full of grace" ? I don't have a Catholic background so I don't know the details here.

[anunitu]

Both you and that church gonna send me straight to hell....But ya know I was always headed that way...

[sinsi]

More like "Hail hutch full of Grouse"

Some of our Christians should remember that: All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.(St. Mathew 5, 37).

Gunther,

Based on the responses, I don't think there are many Christians here.

"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33

I am at peace despite any and all attacks on me.

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Phillipians 4:7

I pray for everyone.

Thank you Gunther for enlighten me :t
I always suspected that 'Maybe' is an evil word
I think that ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ is to big freedom for people, I wold reduce it to only ‘Yes’ (like OPTUS did)

[Magnum]

I am not familiar with Optus.

Who is he ?

Gunther got me to thinking about Matthew 5:37.

Some study notes said this about that scripture :

The Old Testament allowed oaths except those that profaned the name of God. Jesus would do away will all oaths, in favor of always speaking the truth.
