Oh I see, so you believe it is that way, but you don't think it should be? I get it now, thanks. But just in case you don't know: God doesn't view some sins as "just little sins" (like lying, for example) and some things like suicide as huge enough to send you to hell. God views ALL sins as sin. Whether you have told a little white lie, or whether you have killed (whether you kill yourself or someone else)...He views both equally as sin. And the thing is, the bible says that we have ALL sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, so we would ALL be going to hell because we have been contaminated with sin and therefor HAVE to be separated from God/Heaven because they are perfect. Sin separates us from God and Heaven, so we would have to go to hell to pay for our sins. But God doesn't want that; He loves us. That's why He made a way for us to got to Heaven and be with Him forever anyways. He did that by sending His son, Jesus, to Earth to die on the cross and take all of our sins with Him to pay the penalty for them. Then, 3 days later, God rasied Him from the dead and defeated our sins! So now, ANYONE who receives this gift of having their sins taken away (whether they have committed "big sins" like homosexual acts or "little sins" like lying or back talking your parents) and can go to Heaven. To do that, you simply have to believe all of this, confess Jesus as your Lord and Savior who saved you from sins, and turn away from your sins- which means to vow to live for God and give up your sins (although you will still mess up, Jesus already took those sins too).

And for the record, it's not having homosexual/bi-sexual feelings that is the sin; it's how you handle them. You can choose to pray and ask for help, or you can dwell on the fact that you like being that way and let it lead to lustful thoughts and actions. It's the second one that is a sin. And by "you", I wasn't singling you out, I meant anyone in that situation.

I just wanted to say that in case you didn't know; that's what the bible says about it. Did it make sense? God is definitely fair even if it doesn't always make sense to us. He's a just God, so He brings justice- we can choose to get justice by paying for our sins ourself in hell, or turning away from our sins and letting Jesus pay for them for us. The choice is ours. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me.

I mean. For example. Commit suicide and you go to Hell or be gay you go to Hell. It's really unfair. You can't HELP being gay. I'm bi. I'm not hurting anyone! But i'll go to hell. I BELIEVE it. But I don't think it's fair. Suicide is commited when people give up essentially. I foot think this is fair to go to Hell for as God should have guided them. Not allowed them to lose all hope.

Just so I understand better, what do you mean by you don't agree with all of it but you believe it?

I am. I don't AGREE with it all. But I believe it. Like I have told another user. Praying saved my life, you can't just TAKE from God. We have to believe Jesus and the Bible. Of course we may disagree with some aspects. But out of respect for Him, we will still follow the teachings x

Yes you are completely right; the bible adds up in so many amazing ways! So are you a Christian then?

Well I sort of believe BOTH evolution and the Bible theory.
Too many things in the Bible add up! For example, Eve was created from the rib of Adam. So she had an extra rib. Women today have an extra rib. One more than males. However, this could be to support our breasts. But bras do this, so if it were due to evolution, it would have gone. Therefore, I believe the Bible on this.

I don't want to make a thread because I really don't want to start another huge debate. But basically, I'm a Christian and believe in the bible, so I believe that any type of evolution that doesn't go against the bible could have happened. I know that things definitely do evolve to look different than they did before (micro evolution), I just don't believe that humans came from another species that animals also came from- I believe that they started as humans and are still humans (although they may have LOOKED more like apes or whatever, I don't believe that they came from the same animal).

Just chatting here seems fun. Or you should make a thread. X

I don't have a huge detailed knowledge on the subject, but I think I know enough to talk about the basics and what I believe, sure. Do you want to send me a private message or just chat here?

Hey. I'm interested in your views on evolution. Care to chat?
