  "I mentioned once to a Witness that I had some respect for some fundie-Christian contractors that refused to work on a day-care center, based on their understanding of scripture."

  Just out of curiosity what was the reason they refused to build the daycare center?

  Fisherman:
  

  I just saw a video of her and heard her speak. Seemed to me she is protesting gay marriages. I could be wrong.

  Fisherman:

  "I have read a publication that says that the related US Supreme Court ruling is unconstitutional."

  We're all interested in that publication Fisherman. Not that it matters because the only proper way of interpreting the Constitution is to apply it to everyone equally. The same constitution used to allow slavery. That was changed. The basic principle comes down to whether gays have the moral right to be like everyone else and they do. That supersedes any abstract question of constitutionality.

  SecretSlaveClass:

  "Well to me even though the Bible is shyte, if Jesus had have said what he said it would be in Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts. Not what some other dipshit decided to add to it later. So I was refering to what is supposedly have been recorded of what Jesus actually said when he was supposedly here. Did he ever preach damnation in those books?"

  13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. - Matthew 7:13-14 New International Version

  "Destruction" refers to eternal punishment.

  "The spokesman for Ms. Davis repeated, reiterated, and said again that she had accepted Jesus. Really now, what does that mean (rhetorical question)?"

  It means that she doesn't consider other Christians to be real Christians. These fundies have a saying amongst themselves: "The right kind of Christian".

  CC: "I give up trying to edit my posts. Something always goes wrong, or remains"

  Coco, you have to remember that the edit function has an exasperating quirk. If you open edit for the second time it goes back to the first pre-edited entry.

  Just copy the post you first made and when you go into the edit function eliminate the text and paste what you copied. Then you can make your changes.

  I know, it sounds confusing even to me.

  I think that emphasis should be on the scriptures that Kim Davis holds up to be her authority rather than what she did before her conversion.

  Simply ask her if she's willing to give a rapist who's forced to wed his victim a marriage license . When she answers no, if she answers at all, then quote Deuteronomy 22:28-29 which says:

  "28 If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, 29 he shall pay her father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives." - Deuteronomy 22:28-29 New International Version

  When she gives her excuse for not applying that scripture accuse her of being a hypocrite who wants to pick and choose whatever scripture she feel's like applying.

  "Strange how each religion or grouping of similar faiths has its distinctive jargon and identifying marks."

  Differences in beliefs will create different jargon to state their differing ideas. Even if two groups are identical to each other they may evolve different phrases for the same thing due to their isolation from each other. That would be equivalent to genetic drift where one species develops different genes from her sister species in another continent.

  As you Co co are well aware, language is fluid and changes within time and region. Example, British and American English.

  Could "this generation" inspire a new "1975 debacle"?

  by Island Man in

  i think that it's possible that they're getting ready to issue a new end time date insinuation like they did with 1975. now i know what some of you are probably thinking: why would they be so stupid as to repeat such a mistake, knowing what happened in 1975?

  well here're two reasons why i think they could do it:.

  first, it's important to remember that they are deluded.

  Island Man: "I can totally see this happening."

  Not necessarily. They seem to want to distant themselves from 1914 or any set date that can easily be falsified and just continue prattling about how current events are an imminent sign of the end. If I'm not mistaken, the Advntists have not set a new date since 1844.
