The Bible Thread

about 8 years

Ask anything. I will not answer you. I will give you God's answer straight out of the Bible.

"For all the things that were written beforehand were written for our instruction, so that through endurance and through the comfort from the scriptures we might have hope." - Romans 15:4

As time goes by, I will add important teachings to this opening thread, for ease of access to popular topics.

If you want to ask me personal questions, just PM me.

NOTES: 1.) I answer the questions in the order they were received. But if I feel that an answer I gave was either incorrect or not complete enough, I will definitely go back and revise it. 2.) I cite ALOT of scriptures, and when I do that, it's not so you can just assume that there's a scripture related to what I said. I want you to look it up yourself. You can do that easily by copy/pasting the cited scripture into the search field at: wol.jw.org Once you do that, you can view multiple translations by clicking the verse number, and you can see the chapter that the verse is from by clicking the link to the citation.

Why can Jesus have a relationship with everyone but I can only have one relationship? Why does he get special treatment, because he's the bosses son?

I don't believe infants can go to Hell, but that's because I don't believe in the Catholic belief that babies are "born with Adam's sin". They think a baby must be cleansed or they go to Hell, whereas I believe that an infant is clean. Also, someone who doesn't know right from wrong can't be held accountable for "sinning" if they don't know what is "not sinning". For example, a random 30 year old woman in China who doesn't know of Christian values should never be seen as someone condemned to Hell for not following a doctrine she isn't aware of.


Wait, you don't have me blocked?! In that case:

Also does not make sense to me that churches baptize people at such young ages. Why let the parents choose when a kid should be baptized? Shouldn't the person being baptized CHOOSE if they want to "make promises with God"?

you know, in ireland we had this thing...but where like if some dude was king, everyone had to suck his nipples, no kissing rings like you'd have in btch countries like england or something....u know, like, he was mother of the land or something, maybe? then if he got challenged to a fight for kingship and he lost, he'd have his nipples cut off so he could never be king again

the king also had to fck his horse in the town square to be crowned. pretty fcking epic imo

i'd say the bible might have got the no gay sex thing from marcus aurelius tho who just wanted to keep his men with a tension between them and so never soft. tho he also had to try really hard not to fck his slave boys and so feel like a true king. you know, kinda like big black dudes fcking other black dudes in prison, that's the kick of it. depends on the way u look at it

if i fall in love with a guy and we're both christians, is god gonna let us be together in heaven


I've read something today:

1 Corinthians 6:9-10
"Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God."

The words men who have sex with men translate two Greek words that refer to the passive and active participants in homosexual acts.
