In the literal sense it actually has nothing to do with it, since its talking about giving up liberty for security, not morality.

I highly doubt Ben Franklin was considering the likes of gay marriage and incest when he said that

That doesn't necessarily matter though. I'm not really sure what you are referring to.

Well it really seems to be obvious to me, but try convincing others!

Hope you enjoyed my update, meatbag.

I don't want to start an argument, so I figured prayer is the best thing for you

The Bible is my ultimate source of truth. In the end, something has to be the ultimate source of truth and I believe and have studied the Bible enough to say confidently that it is.

This verse is why I discuss the Bible with people, because there's nothing more important than the Good News.

We can respectfully agree to disagree.

Hebrews Chapter 1, verse 1. This verse means God inspired the Old Testament throught the writers. The ancients knew more than we give them credit for, though.

You said, It's a shame that people never reference Jesus talking about homosexuality. They always have to fall back on St Paul or the Old Testament.

The Old Testament was not nullified by Jesus. An example is Matthew 5:17-18. Jesus didn't destroy the law, He fulfilled it. Some things are now allowed under grace, but the Apostle Paul made it clear in Romans that homosexuality is still worng according to God's laws.

I'd write more, but I've got to get to church.

Just a couple of verses on what I believe:

On sin:
I John 1:8
Romans 3:23

On the Bible's absolute authority:
II Timothy 3:16
An article from ICR on Biblical authority.

I hope you're not offended, but if you are, I am simply stating my beliefs.

I don't believe God is cruel, but men have chosen their fate. I am forced to believe in sin, because of the Bible. Of course, trying to persuade someone over the internet doesn't work too good p), and if you don't agree with me, it's your choice.

I am a creationist. I believe in a literal interpretation of Genesis.

Sarcasm. There's a pretty wide spectrum for it with different effects.

I hate when guys do that, want to get their cute little one liner in then they are gone.

You are welcome

Wish i could live in the age of Basil II.

That assumes incorrectly that austistic twitches and such like have the vaguest impact on ones degree of normality

Hey. You're normal. Scores big points round here

Score!

Thanks

I will consider your words.

"Until you learn how to use a dictionary yourself, I suggest that you look up the word "hypocrite". You'll find it most enlightening."

Boggles the mind, doesn't he?

Dutchies call them "punt".

'Period' one of them 'merican thangs?

I like how we're using as an extra period in our conversations.
