But if he cut the conifer cord and collected his quarter when nobody else was listening, would it make a noise?
only if his name was Sheldon, and nicknamed Shel. Because Shel sells sea-shells on the sea-shore. The shells Shel sells are sea-shells, I'm sure. For if Shel sells sea-shells on the sea-shore Then I'm sure Shel sells sea-shore shells.
this is such a cop out. homosexuality either is a sin or it isn't. if it is, according the tenets of christianity a non-repentent homosexual is not going to heaven.
i'm sure some of the most evil people who have ever lived fully believed they were doing the right thing.
so why not be honest and just say you think non-repentent homosexuals are not going to heaven. why bother with all the PC 'only god can judge' stuff? would you be surprised to run into Hitler in heaven? aren't all sins equal in the eyes of god?
I said nothing about keeping people out. Although most are too dense or unappreciative to notice, we are all born into "heaven" and live our entire lives here without ever leaving. There's no chance of anyone "going to" heaven since it is the only place we ever exist. I sometimes think that "belief" in a heaven beyond earth is the ultimate sign of greed. I mean, we've been given The Earth and all it's wonders and some people are just never satisfied.
well yeah. the greatest lie of all with afterlife-centered religious belief is that it's based on humility, when it's actually based on egocentrism and sense of entitlement. that said, life on Earth isn't all that wonderful for a lot of people, so you can understand if they want something more.
Or, a "relationship" with Christ, as He asked me to have. Pretty simple stuff, actually. I'm sorry, but your point regarding egocentrism and/or sense of entitlement doesn't describe the Gospel in any way, shape, or form.
my point. you think the greatest being that could possibly exist asked you to have a personal relationship with him, created the universe for humans, is preparing an enternal afterlife for you etc.
