Actually, it's what I said. I'd provide them, and explain how they're relevant, and give more that you probably aren't even aware of to indirectly speak against it, but you'd simply deflect, and dodge. You've demonstrated it really doesn't matter what Scripture says, because Scripture has no bearing on what you believe.

But again...as I said--it really has nothing to do with the 390 pages of bigotry that this thread has shown against Christians.

And much of that so called bigotry against Christians has apparently been by your fellow Christians. Seeing as the largest Protestant church in Canada for example performs SSM and some American churches do as well you are calling other Christians as anti Christian bigots and you know the rules, you cannot call other Christians as non Christians.

Same thing with Christians. There are a few radicals, that loudly proclaim their perspectives. The Falwells, the Robinsons, and we can all name a dozen others. Most Christians are not like them, but most stay silent, worried about being ostracized or castigated by the radicals. So they say and do nothing.

And that is the problem. We hear some like saying, "But we are not like those other guys", yet what demonstrable and effective things have you done to shut them up and shut them down? Just like most Muslims say and do nothing, most Christians don't either.

Why?

True Christians demonstrate the same Spirit.

You have simply reiterated your hubris Mr. Tru-------uh, HWC.

You can exhibit your spirit and I'll exhibit His.

Yeah. Because we know what kind of people you are. You only fool your fellow fools.

How do you know what God would think?

I don't recall your even attempting to correct me on this, BaptistFundie. How about you do so rather than continually play the victim of what you refer to as 'Christian persecution'? Gay people continue to be maligned by you 'fundie folks' while you/they cry 'victimization' and wallow in a combination of piety and self-pity . . .

You basing your ideology about God on a PDF that moves around the internet. Come on now. Do you have any real understanding of the Spirit of God?

What does that even mean, and how is it relevant to the points I made?

Troutdude, I think of you as an atheist. Correct me if I'm wrong. But if you are. I will be judging you in 2040. If I'm wrong, I may not be judging you. I guess it comes down to whether your an atheist.
