Porn In Schools Is Ok, But A Bible Is Banned?!

[Woodznutz]

I don't

I am giving you my take on the topic and like I said if you don't like it don't respond I really don't care.

When I point out a contradiction I see among the religious you get all offended and that's a YOU problem not a me problem

What contradiction?

 

[Woodznutz]

Yup how did I know you would blame the victim yet again? Then if she divorced they guy you would call her a sinner too right?

God's marriage and divorce laws don't apply outside of the church. In fact, none of God's current instructions are in force outside of the church.

What contradiction?

For one that just because a school library doesn't have a bible in it that that school is somehow responsible for the destruction of morality

Abusers get married in churches too you know. Or are you saying that only people married in civil ceremonies are the perpetrators and victims of domestic abuse?

Was that person or persons speaking for the church? I hope you realize that any time the church and the State get too cozy the church winds up as the victim. The true church would never advocate for Christianity to be taught in public schools, although they wouldn't object if it was done properly.

I don't care about church because there is no one church for Christians is there?

There are many churches and many flavors of Christianity. So I address what you Christians say as individuals

I was married in a church, but I wasn't a member of that or any church at the time. I wanted a better ceremony than the justice of the peace offered. However, I was actually being called into the church at that time. Sadly, my wife wasn't and we later divorced. I was then free to remarry as she wasn't "pleased to dwell" with me.

The church is unified, the many denominations notwithstanding. Many so-called churches are really just differing ministries of the larger church that have chosen specific areas of Christian service.

so what?

No it isn't.

If the church was unified then there would not be different denominations with differing opinions

 

[Woodznutz]

so what?

So, not everyone who gets married in a church is a Christian.

 

[Woodznutz]

The true church doesn't remain divided in important matters. Most differences are inconsequential.

Then why would any Christian church cater to non Christians?

like birth control?

There is no "true" church. You people can't even agree on that.

 

[Woodznutz]

Then why would any Christian church cater to non Christians?

It's civic duty as they also have the authority to ratify marriages (do the legal paperwork) on behalf of the state. They also see it as a religious duty regardless. They are usually well compensated for this service as well.

like birth control?

Regardless, we have faith that God knows who his people are, even if we don't.

Most arguments about birth control occur outside of the purview and authority of the church.

But then tell me this why won't many Christian churches perform same sex marriages when they are legal in a state?

We should not allow any church to perform any legal functions for the state.

And there is no one church which is why I address you people as individuals not some amorphous undefined "church"

 

[Woodznutz]

But then tell me this why won't many Christian churches perform same sex marriages when they are legal in a state?

Because it would be a perversion of marriage as God intended. There are other venues for such marriages.

We should not allow any church to perform any legal functions for the state.

The church really just witnesses the documentation for the state, seeing that it's properly done, else a state representative would have to be present at all church marriages.

 

[Woodznutz]

And there is no one church which is why I address you people as individuals not some amorphous undefined "church"

The church is a spiritual organism, not an identifiable organization.

I don't think that you are able to determine whether any individual here is a true Christian, not even me.
