God has put His words in the Bible.

It is easy to say God does not exist and deny the Bible is God's word, but it is hard, let me say impossible, to prove what you say is true.

If you want to believe something is true without any evidence, be my guest, but it seems rather foolish to me.
If you want to believe that the Bible is without error or contradiction, be my guest, but it seems rather foolish to me to do so inspite of evidence to the contrary. If God put His words in the Bible, And I believe He did, He did so among a host of things that are NOT His Word. Claiming that the whole thing is God's Word is the source of so many of the errors that we live with in Christianity today.

Obviously you have ZERO experience with the Canadian culinary world...though brown gravy over fries is preferred by 9 out of 10 Canadians, one does NOT have brown gravy with fresh fish.

I sincerely believe Jesus would have used malt vinegar had he invented it then..perhaps it was that point in time when vinegar became acceptable?

Jesus described it perfectly. He was challenged on the topic of divorce and explained why God hates divorce:

3 And Pharisees came up to him and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful to divorce one's wife for any cause?” 4 He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, 5 and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? 6 So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”

Matthew 19:3-7

Absolutely nothing in that passage about same sex relations. God designed sexual intimacy as a way for a male and female to become one flesh, both on an emotional and physical level. So yeah, genitalia is part of that equation to become one flesh. He decided the two sexes to be different so each can compliment and complete each other.

I am sure because God said so...guess it juts proves the bible is not infallible and contains error--God told me this as well...

Here is God...

The question was about a MAN and a WOMAN..why the flip would Christ go off topic? Christ responded appropriately give the context of the question...otherwise Jesus might as well have said the animals on the Ark were bound together for life--what senses would that have made?

99.99% of the fries I have ever eaten were eaten in Canada and when I was young yes I had fries with gravy and with vinegar when with chips. But as I matured I grew to appreciate fries with only salt on them. I also used to eat Bismarks when I was younger too but now it is just Nanaimo bars .


Go drink a Caesar and chill out.

God and I are old friends. Our long journey is one of love and friendship. It is not a journey of bowing, begging forgiveness ,and scraping.


Our friendship is not confined to the Bible. God is more than the words of ancient men. God has never stopped communicating with us. Some of us simply stopped listening, and use the Bible as the excuse for not listening.
