He also hated sin.

I didn’t think he hated anything? I thought he forgave sin and hate was not in his heart?

But please...do go on. What sin did he hate?

If those laws were “kaput”, slavers wouldn’t have used Exodus as a way to justify slavery.

If those laws were “kaput”, Christians wouldn’t be trotting out OT laws to condemn homosexuals and justify discrimination.

Yet, for laws that are supposedly “kaput” they are trotted out an awful lot- by both church leaders and lay people.

Now that is just critical and the wrong attitude. I'm no scholar, but having graduated from Catholic schools (k-12), youth groups, weekly mass and multiple religious courses in college and afterwards, I feel i have a better understanding of religions and Christianity than most. Maybe not Joltin Joe, but still better than most.


And my questions were meant to point out the hypocrisy of the whole thing. Something you've missed.

The NT may have made the laws of the OT "kaput" (that was your word) but modern day Christians still fall back on them for various reasons.

To answer you and Chizzang, while the NT message regarding homosexuality forbids the killing of them (OT commands it),the NT still considers it a sin. Romans 1 is quite clear. Personally, it makes no difference to me what anyone does, just stating the biblical position.

Some Christians are a bit obnoxious with the using of OT law.

Hey wait a sec

I just realized that the title of this thread was that "evolution takes a faceplant"

I thought the idea of intelligent design actually incorporates evolution

that said, Im not seeing how evolution has been repudiated here

Everyone seems to have missed how I've worded my statement. Evolution has taken a faceplant due to it's now proven incorrect prediction that our DNA is filled with junk.

The science for such was completed by those not in the intelligent design field.

Simple analogy. You have an line, but forgot the whole y=mx + b thing, so you have to make a prediction as to what your y and x are. What do you do with your incorrect predictions? You throw them out.

How much do you think the loss of junk DNA damages the credibility of evolution? I don't think it's quite as damaging as carbon dating is to the whole 6,000 year old planet theory of intelligent design.

Lol! I don't think it's damaging at all. Doesn't disprove Evolution, just shows there are aspects that need more work.

But I find it more than amusing to see a prediction proven false, but yet it incredibly strengthens the Evolution argument, as some say.

Only in the evolution and global warming fields do poor predictions magically have their results bolster the theory.

No, css is on vacation and had no internet. Here goes the reasoning everyone here loves: Paul was inspired b the Holy Spirit, thus inspired by God.

Will be without internet again for another day, will discuss vacation etc., when I get home.
