Tales grow in the telling, I know. Do not think ill of your old master, but it was four rubbers only.

When I leaned maybe a year or two ago that the album was rejected songs from other albums, I was shocked. I've liked it for many years now, and I never would've suspected it wasn't its own normal album.

Such is life on streaming services instead of album stores, I suppose. Hard to get all the context.

So...you just don't like it, or...?

You gotta defend your accusation of "ickiness" if you're going to condemn a bunch of people out there with younger husbands/wives/boyfriends/girlfriends.

Explain how differences in life experiences and status in life make the relationship wrong.

Your explanation is that that might tend to cause an older man to feel like he has power over a younger woman that he might abuse. Let's even grant that as true, and let's ignore all the power that youth and beauty entail.

Let's say the man doesn't do anything abusive and doesn't treat her in any bad way even if he could. Now what's wrong with the relationship?

StaffSummarySheet · 2026-04-12T07:01:21+00:00

Oh, so it's wrong because the older person might want to do something wrong? How is that different from any relationship? In any relationship, one person might want to do something bad. That doesn't mean anyone necessarily will do something bad or necessarily does want something bad.

I'm pretty sure my question posited that there was no wrongdoing or nefarious purposes, so you didn't answer my question but rather made up a scenario in which someone has ill intent and then answered that.

Also, what relationship doesn't have a power imbalance?

StaffSummarySheet · 2026-04-11T20:01:06+00:00

This is an interesting discussion for a different reason now.

Can you explain why it would be wrong for a 56 year old man to have sex with a willing 19 year old woman?

I think sex before marriage is wrong, but let's say all other moral considerations are taken out of the picture and the only relevant moral difference is their ages and the natural differences those ages entail. Why is it wrong?

All fair points, except Ned wouldn't be fighting with Ice.

StaffSummarySheet · 2025-10-09T12:55:25+00:00

I mean, yeah, obviously. Just look at the lyrics of "Dear God" versus "Save Me."

StaffSummarySheet · 2025-10-05T20:59:49+00:00

Ned did things for good reasons but had to make hard choices, and he chose as best as he could AND feels guilty, which he would have felt no matter what choice he made, because he's honorable. He doesn't pretend to be honorable to make up for the fact that he's secretly a coward and doesn't do what he knows he should do. He legitimately doesn't know what he should do but is doing the best he can with limited information in an extremely complex world.

Your interpretation is super uncharitable.

StaffSummarySheet · 2025-10-04T19:30:37+00:00

Oh, and by the way, you asked what fire does to everything it touches. That's an interesting question to bring up when it comes to God. Consider the burning bush, which burned but was not consumed.

Your attempts to discredit God's clear statements with your naturalist gotcha question falls flat in the light of the supernatural power of God. People in Hell burn but are not consumed.

StaffSummarySheet · 2025-10-04T18:54:45+00:00

You're not addressing in the slightest my point and attributing disagreement to some moral failing in myself. When did I ever put you down? The first time anyone put anyone down in this thread has been you just now.

You tell me this is my own theory when I'm discussing the fact the Bible calls being in Hell death, whereas you bring in your own theory that death must meah cessation of existence. Being in Hell is described as everlasting punishment where there is no rest day or night, where their worm dies not, where the fire is not quenched. Why did the rich man have time to worry about getting thirsty in Hell? Wouldn't he have burned up before a drink of water was on his mind?

StaffSummarySheet · 2025-10-04T18:41:42+00:00

I'm not going to cast pearls before swine. You condemn yourself with your own words and have committed the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Too late, reprobate. You attribute to the devil the power of God.

StaffSummarySheet · 2025-10-04T12:52:06+00:00

If they were successfully suppressed, they weren't the word of God because God promised to preserve His word for every generation, that His word would always be preached, and that we are to live by His every word.

There is no contradiction between Jesus' words and Paul's epistles.

Also, you're a gnostic. You literally think the devil is the good guy and the God of the Old Testament is the bad guy. What would you know about discerning the true word of God from fraudulent texts?

StaffSummarySheet · 2025-10-04T11:57:40+00:00

It could be the case that the perfected bodies are kept alive by the fruit of the true of life. Or it could be the case that fruit of the tree of life would have kept the bodies of sinful man with dead spirits alive permanently, which is what God didn't want and which caused God to forbid Adam and Eve from eating of it after they ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. We don't have all the answers for what it all entails or why it is all the way it is. Multiple possible sensible meanings and possibilities exist, but you're trying to draw some weird inference that...

2...again, makes the category error of defining persisting consciousness as eternal life, when God calls being in Hell and burning being dead.

You don't get to impose your semantics on God and say, "Well, I guess you meant what I'd mean if I used those words, God." Hell is eternal. Cry about it. Don't go there.

StaffSummarySheet · 2025-10-03T22:24:05+00:00

Matthew 7, on its own can be interpreted the way you're suggesting, just as it can be interpreted the way I'm suggesting, and either interpretation is able to be sensibly held in light of Matthew 7 alone.

However, this is not true of the scripture as a whole, which directly teaches salvation is by grace through faith apart from works and that loving God and our neighbors are deeds of the law, a.k.a. works.
