When I think of spirit, I refer to the non-corporeal portions of existence.  Where I part probably with most is that I think there are multiple levels of existence even beyond the physical, such as the  astral plane that lead to ever more pure and abstact (at least to us ) levels of being.  The athiest looks only at one level of being, most Ch…[Read more]

It sounds to me like a lot of disagreements might be solved or better discussed if terms were defined or at least a common understanding of what we as individuals mean when using certain terms.  Take for instance spirit; it is taken a lot of different ways by different folks and beliefs.  Soul is another.  Devil and demon are other terms that me…[Read more]

Quote (Paladin @ Aug. 08 2009,07:09)Homosexuality is not a power, it is a symptom of a disease of the soul. When the soul no longer recognizes its own reality, and cannot find its reason for being, other than to appeal to its own basest desires, it will become lost in attempting to find and fulfill the ultimate desire.I think most reputable…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Aug. 08 2009,02:46)Hi CatoWhy not just believe the scriptures that says there are demons and satan can transform himself?WJWJ,It is not a matter of possibility rather probability. I do believe there are entities of such as demons however the probability of their descending upon T8 unprovoked and so easily dealt with…[Read more]

T8,The closest thing I could gather from your story is that your friend unconsciously projected an etheric thought form of himself and sent it to be with you.  According to theory of such, it happens most commonly when the projector is in a relaxed state between sleep and wakefullness.  The thought form is not demonic, but a representation of t…[Read more]

WJ,I brought this up in another thread but it is appropriate here also; According to the National Center for Victims of Crime, taking figures from 2005, “92 percent of rape or sexual assault victims were female; those 16-19 years old had the highest rate of sexual victimization of any age group.”  This indicates, as do most crime statistics, that…[Read more]

Find a site on Behaviorism for a counter argument. Do your own homework.thinkerI think you miss the whole point.  Everyone is accountable for their actions.  What the APA and o…[Read more]

So far it is 50%, thats a pretty high number dont you think?WJWJ,It is an exceptionally high number seeing that homosexuals are such a small part of the over all population.

Quote (theodorej @ Aug. 07 2009,00:24)Greetings Cato…..I would think that the time you speak of is yet to come….when this world as we know it gives way to Gods government….Hi Theodore,It appeared to me that Thinker is claiming civilization is in a moral decline with acceptance of homosexuality being one indication thereof.  It's cause…[Read more]

Quote (thethinker @ Aug. 06 2009,09:21)It is the Judeo Christian laws that have created the conscience needed that prevent history from repeating itself. That conscience is slowly eroding the more we become a permissive society. Eventually history will repeat itself and we will become like the ancients. Some of us will learn from history and some…[Read more]

WJ,As for the gay agenda to convert people, at least according to the American Psychological Association it won't work.  This is from their latest findings:”Is Sexual Orientation a Choice? No, human beings cannot choose to be either gay or straight. For most people, sexual orientation emerges in early adolescence without any prior sexual…[Read more]

WJ,I think you are taking a personal experience and extrapolating such to society in general which may be unfair.  Ask almost any girl in the same age group and they will have plenty of stories of older men hitting on them.  Face it men are biologically driven and this is true for both gay and straight.  I am not justifying any bad behaviour bu…[Read more]

Dear Thinker,Tell me what was in my post you quoted that was incorrect and thus indicative of a disregard of facts?  My points being:1. Gay does not equate with pedophile.2. Pedophiles are both gay and straight.3. The vast majority of sexual predators are men.4. The vast majority of sexual abuse victims are women.Your point and  statement that “…[Read more]

Quote (Paladin @ Aug. 05 2009,23:54)Whenever society begins to accept bad behaviour, until they call it “acceptable” and finally begin to call evil “good,” God will hold them accountable. And if Christians stand by while God's judgment takes place, they WILL be caught up in it.It gives a new emphasis to “come out from among them and be ye…[Read more]

Paladin the whole crux of this discussion is that you believe that having sexual feelings for one's own sex is sin, plain and simple just like theft, murder, etc.This is clearly stated in books such as Leviticus.  Yet you indicate such rules were of the old law and with Jesus were replaced with Love God and Love thy neighbor as thyself.  In your v…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ July 29 2009,22:22)I believe the Holy Spirit is to God as our Spirit is to us.I always had a problem with this concept. While I accept that we humans are temporal beings with spirits or some other aspects beyond the material; God is himself a Spirit, and not a temporal being, so why would he need a Holy Spirit? It seems in this…[Read more]

While it may be true that many boys may have been hit up on by older gay men it pales in comparison to the number of girls hit up on by straight older men. Perhaps it is not gay or straight but just men in general who are overwhelmingly the sexual predators.

Quote (Paladin @ Aug. 05 2009,22:15)This is why we have a man in the presidency that we have. God is giving us a look at what we deserve for killing all the babies. Abortion and Homosexuality are the depth of depravity to which a naiton falls, before God destroys them.Sometimes I am utterly amazed at what people believe. Next you will no doubt…[Read more]

Quote (Paladin @ Aug. 05 2009,22:02)All the old dietary laws no longer mean anything. None of the Old Testament 10 commandment laws mean anything. They were a law for a people, for a time.Under the new covenant law, everything that was incorporated in the 10 commandment law, was reinstituted in the law “Love God, lovve thy neighbor as thyself.”If…[Read more]
