Originally posted by ThinkOfOneI suppose it would have to do with what you consider to be sin. As for yourself, you have judged me to have sinned regarding the matter thus you have rebuked me.

Once again: What part of the following didn't you understand?
"[b]You take this holier than thou attitude towards homosexuals and JUDGE them unfit to be members of or leaders in your church because of what you deem to be sin. You take this attitude even thought you accept those with sins such as gluttony, greed, etc. in others and likely in yourself."[/b]
Originally posted by twhiteheadPerhaps there are groups behind this, but compare that to groups in the Middle East that are taking countries and taking on the US. Although we see murderes in all aspects of society, do you not think that there is more of it in Islamic fundamentalism? In fact, I can't even visit certain middle eastern countries because I am not Islamic.
So are all the bombings of abortion clinics that you accept take place carried out by individuals? I find that hard to believe.

Originally posted by whodeyYou've made several idiotic statements about Islam / Muslims. At least that seems to have stopped. Why do you doggedly hang on to your idiotic position on homosexuals?

The issue is not about rebuking sin. It is about your hypocrisy and your bigotry.
From what you've said elsewhere, it is evident that you have judged homosexuality to be a sin to be rebuked while you ignore other sins. This is hypocrisy and bigotry.
Furthermore, you go beyond "rebuking". You judge homosexuals as UNFIT to be members or leaders of your church even though you allow those with other sins including yourself. This is hypocrisy and bigotry.
Are you really so dim that you can't make these distinctions? I keep pointing them out, yet you seem unable to grasp them.

My only point here is that Islamic fundamentalism is much more main stream and powerful than any other fundamentalist movement in the world. Therefore, to oppose them has greater inherent dangers.
do you want to visit mecca?

Sure it is about sin. After all, this is why you are rebuking me. It is because you have judged ME to be sinning.

Originally posted by ThinkOfOneSince when do I ignore other sins. The sad fact of the matter is that all you talk about is homosexuality and the fact that all christians are hypocrites and going to hell.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieI think what is most puzzling to those outside the faith is why certain sexual activities are considered sins. For example, why is fornicating a sin? Most sins are identifiable and understandable because they inflict direct harm to another individual but others are so black and white such as the issue of homosexual activity. As for those outside the faith like TOO, I do not expect them really to understand. As Christians, we are called to act at times even though we may not know why or may not understand why much like Abraham did not understand taking his son to the top of a mountain to sacrifice him as God told him to do so. The bottom line is, if we feel that God has told us to act or not act in a certain way, we will do so because we have faith in him and faith that we have heard his voice no matter what how we feel about it.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieRobbie i have question that i'm hoping you might be able to answer. Galveston75 is refusing to answer it, i personally don't think he has the brain power to do it.

If God didn't write the Bible, how can the Bible then be Gods word?
