Not as I interpret the bible. But, as On The Way Out said, none of us can judge anyone individually on the matter. Only the Supreme Being can.

Can being gay live in harmony with being a christian?
by digderidoo ini have looked at the thread about gay marriages in california and thought about asking this question there, but instead of hi-jacking that one i thought i would ask it here.
there seems to be quite a few gay people on this site and i wonder how many class themselves as christian?
if so, can being gay live in harmony with being a christian?.

Hello everyone! New here. Born into it....ugh.
by Lady Zombie inwhere to start?.
i thought about typing out a nutshelled life history but changed my mind.
suffice it to say, i was born into "the truth," attempted suicide at 14, "lost my faith" at this time, beat into submission into carrying on as usual, endured a horrible marriage and equally horrible divorce, and am more or less still in it (appearances only!

Lady Zombie,
Welcome to the board. You tell an interesting story. Actually, sounds like you had a pretty liberal upbringing compared to a lot of us(that were never allowed to pursue higher education). Look forward to hearing more from you.

you must be one of the 20 people left watching this show. I gave it up about two years ago. Their ratings have been horrible this year compared to previous years...Supposedly Simon has other shows in the works....

Why Adam and Eve were unfairly judged by God
by BreakingAway inthe argument has been made on many occasions that death and suffering are a result of adam's sin.in fact, the bible is so clear on this "fact" that it is one of the few things on which nearly every christian denomination will agree.. "therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned romans 5:12. however, i would like to present the case that god had, in fact, not told adam this very thing, and consequently, adam was unaware of what really would take place upon eating the fruit.notice this verse:.
"but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.
" gen.2:17. i highlighted the word "you" because this is absolutely critical.why ?

bring the light,
i believe you are slightly confused about the exact question that is the premise of this thread. The premise is that there IS a supreme God, who by anyone but an atheist would readily admit has the right to set standards, and whether or not he was unfair--if you don't believe that then, fine-- you need to start another thread. Just because you have free will doesn't mean you get to set the standards of right and wrong and what's fair and unfair.

Nark,
I'm not sure I get the gist of what you are saying. My point was that the Supreme Being, whatever you want to call him, has the RIGHT to set standards of right and wrong and what's fair and unfair. Whether you like it that way or not, that's the way it is...

Dawg....a big Roll Tide I think is in order here...Lol. We only lost to you guys by two points last season. Mark Richt is going to be the preseason no. 1, so naturally everyone is going to be looking to knock the dawgs off their perch and will be huge target for all their opponents this season. A word to the wise....Dont be too overconfident...Remember, you are in the SEC...RTR

possible reason for end of BS?
by uriah init occurrd to me that maybe there was some independent thinking going on in the bs.
maybe the gb was afraid of small groups thinking too muchand having them all meet at the kh would put paid to any groups that were becoming a bit liberal.
as is known small bible study or at study groups were not allowed at bethel.

I kind of doubt this was the reason. If it was, then they would have quashed the bs arrangement years ago.
