Can There any more Polls to Throw Doubt on Christ?

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I believe the Apostle Paul actually handled this in 2 Timothy 2:23. Here is what it says out of the MEV, "But avoid foolish and unlearned debates, knowing that they create strife." There are genuine questions and genuine hearts that ask those questions, wanting answers, and we have a biblical responsibility to answer those questions. Then there are people who just throw questions out there to cause strife and confusion. These are to be avoided. How do we know the difference? With a humble heart and right spirit, ask the Lord to open up our discernment to know the difference between the two.

OK, my $0.02 worth.

Exactly.

AFF has a whole section devoted to them.

OK, everyone ask the Lord to tell them whether to use the Ignore feature on me or not. Think the Lord will give everyone the same answer?

Oops, there I go again. Asking a simple question (with an obvious answer) that might "throw doubt". I'll never learn.

You, sir, are a class 1 jerk. Un. Be. Lievable.

Whatever.

No drop in morality, huh?

When you were a Christian, did you believe homosexuality was a sin? Do you now? Do you think homosexuality is even a moral issue at all, and when you were a Christian did you think it was a moral issue?

Ah. What you really meant to say was my morality changed, and it's different from yours. Lol

Did you or did you not think it was IMMORAL to be homosexual? You claim you never had a hit on your morality. Can't answer a direct question, can you? Isn't that hypocritical?

Did you stop believing homosexuality was immoral? Is homosexuality even a moral issue, anyway?

Do you cuss and swear now when you thought that was immoral before? I don't know. Just asking! Is it not immoral to cuss, in your opinion? Seriously asking. Not saying.

What else did you think was immoral but you do not believe is immoral any more?

And IF it is a mere issue of CHANGING MORALS, is it not true that you LESSENED your morals? You thought MORE THINGS were immoral than you do now? You have LESS morals than you did before? LESSENING morality is my point, Timmy. LESSENING. Decline in morality. DECLINE.

So... Timmy... did you EVER have a reason to believe? I think brother Blume's question is valid. It's not about changing one's mind, he was asking if you ONCE BEFORE had a reason?

It's what I was taught as a child. It was all I knew. As I got older, it made less and less sense, and the promise and the reality got farther and farther apart.

You know, I've said several times before that I think everyone should do what works for them. Few have given me the same blessing. You are the opposite extreme, requiring everyone to do what works for you! I find that attitude silly, immature, ridiculous, fruitless, and really pretty vile. (See? My morality didn't just lose things! )

I require no one to do anything, including what works for me. Where did you get that from? lol What you do doesn't affect me at all. I d not require it, but the God of the Bible does.
