[42] And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick [living] and dead.
[43] To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
So was Jesus telling a porkie when he dictated John 8:15 to the gospel of John ?.

I judge no man but If I did judge it would not be how you lot do. John 8:15

Not likely Jimmie, I've already worn that garment. I would fancy coming back as a modern day charles spurgeon who was also a universalist, who also spoke so wonderful of God it would cause many to return to the Father.

I Corinthians 6

10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.


Now the original posted asked a question of which there have been several answers, while others wished to admit they have never even regretted.


That is all up to them if they do so, their rights are just as fashionable as anyone else's, as most societies have never of some actions ever accepted.


Now unto the subject of children and them being taught certain things are normal, a special function of society, what is to be the actual elaborated.


Is NAMBLA another 'normal' way to view reality speaks several languages, there is no single way that is right, just everything in a big box included.

When you can leave discussion of patently harmful behaviors out of this where they do not belong, and talk about a committed relationship between two people you could possibly have something to say. Until you stop conflating such a relationship with practices that compare to adultry, profligacy, heterosexual child abuse and such things that you also KNOW are a part of the heterosexual world and are NO reflection on a real heterosexual relationship in love you have nothing to add.

Really, and exactly just who are you to be that judge of the most correct way to approach what has been discussed?

Exactly what qualifies you as being the arbitrator of justice when such special circumstances do not exist confused.

You subtract all the time when a Christian brings a Bible-based answer that although you do not like responses add.

The question is whether NAMBLA's normal to you, does it have a place in society to exist, is that truth and to good?

Absolutely uncalled-for, ridiculous, and frankly-stupid insinuation.

You would be laughable if you didn't vote or breed.
