Basis of belief

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: 82abn</div><div class="ubbcode-body">When I ask this, please understand that I'm not trying to be argumentative. Imagine that! What if we were talking about another passenger who cussed every other word and never asked repentence. Would he follow the same footsteps as the homosexual? I did some reading yesterday on the Westboro Baptist Church homepage(www.godhatesfags.com). I don't know if you all are familiar with this group. They are the ones who picket killed soldier's funerals and I believe they were planning on picketing some of the murdered VT victims. They carry picket signs that say, "God Hates Fags!" and a lot of other pretty raunchy stuff. They have all the scripture that says what they are doing is good and Christian, but is filled with so much hate and venom. Do they read the same Bible and belong to the same denomination as you? This is where religion confuses me. I was taught that you should be loving and compassionate to your fellow people and these people seem to do the exact opposite. And they quote scriptures, also. So, what gives? </div></div>


UT1 done a great job with their answer.. the only thing that i would like to add is They may read the same Bible but they are not serving the same God. God does not hate homosexuals.. just like UT 1 said he hates the sin.If we will discern what is good and what is not we wil see that their motovation is to spread hate and not forgiveness. YOu ask the question about what if another passenger cussed all the time... would that be the same... well I do not know... because God is the judge of that. The bifg thing is this: Whether we cuss al the time or practice homosexuality... this both do not please God and he does not desire either for us. I believe we need to come to the place in our life where we can have a desire to do what is pleasing to God. But I do not have a cut and dry answer for that... I truely do not know.

I have a question, not for anyone just your opinions. What about the Crusades? Whats anyones opinions on that? I know I had a discusssion with one of my best friends, on how the saying "Gods Will" was used. </div></div>

Are you serious?

Pretty much why the mid east is a hornets nest now.

Ok wait, you have studied the Bible, you have researched to make sure about translations, and you say what is the crusades???

Ok...I think you just lost more credibility.

Perhaps an example of what our kids are NOT being taught in school?

They are also not taught how to tie their shoes. That doesn't mean they shouldn't learn someplace else.

I was just kidding... really. Well it is not a matter of defending my self anymore... God is my defender. And you say I lost credibility... well I hope not. I am trying to be more respectful in my posts and responses and Rock this is not helping any. Can you please not be so negative all the time? Thanks.

He's saying that anyone and everyone, unless you've had your head under a rock since 1095 AD, should know what the Crusades were.

Debbie Bates would be highly disappointed in you.
