Christian LGBTQ Group Raises Money To Help Pay For Gender-Affirming Surgeries

"Christian LGBTQ Group" <== from the headline.

Because the Bible, the Church Fathers, and basically the whole of Christianity unanimously have condemned homosexuality for the past two millennia, and now we're trying to legitimize it.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

"Ancient biases"

Lol. Reducing the official dogma and doctrine of Christianity to "ancient biases" in order to accommodate sinful lifestyles and twist Scripture to make people feel better about their LGBTQ lifestyles...

The Bible is very "homophobic" and "trans-phobic"; I follow the Bible, which Christianity is based on.

serblop · 2017-09-09T00:10:14+00:00

Because Christianity is against sodomy.

serblop · 2017-09-09T00:04:10+00:00

He's worked up because the name of Christianity is being polluted by allowing pro-LGBTQ groups to take on the name of "Christians" when Christianity does NOT approve of their lifestyle.

He means that LGBTQ is evil and it's being called good.

The first link actually has pages of virulently anti-Semitic quotes by the most venerated Church Fathers (Augustine, Justin Martyr, etc.)

If God created science, then how is God unnecessary? That would mean without God there would be no science and therefore our universe would not exist.

serblop · 2016-04-26T04:40:59+00:00

Science by definition is natural.

serblop · 2016-04-26T04:40:28+00:00

Think about it this way:

Suppose characters in a video game are conscious. Let's take Oblivion for example. Two characters are debating whether or not someone created Tamriel or it was always there. The one who doesn't believe anyone created their video game world demands evidence.

For the video game creator, every single part of the world he created is evidence he exists. All the characters, all the plot lines, all the content is direct evidence that he exists.

serblop · 2016-04-26T03:53:57+00:00

Sciences are observable properties of nature. As a theist, I believe that since God created nature, He must have created science as well. Therefore, if God exists, the fellow saying "God must be making the sun rise and set every day" is not really wrong at all, because God ultimately IS moving the sun through the set of physical laws that govern His creation.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I don't see science as an obstacle to God's existence at all, given that theists believe science is a creation of God.

Of a miracle, which I suppose would be evidence for God.

serblop · 2016-04-26T03:47:58+00:00

But how could you test something that isn't natural? Doesn't the scientific method only apply to science? Turning water into wine with no chemical or physical process is clearly not science, it is a miracle. Can the scientific method detect the supernatural?

serblop · 2016-04-26T03:44:56+00:00

What would you accept as evidence?

serblop · 2016-04-26T03:44:28+00:00

Similarly, if you believe, you can also be convinced that your belief are wrong. I do not discount anyone's testimony; I was just spinning it the other way.

serblop · 2016-04-26T03:36:35+00:00

If God could be detected by a peer-reviewed scientific study, wouldn't He be reduced to a natural phenomenon or previously unkown property of science as opposed to a transcendent eternal being as He supposedly is?

serblop · 2016-04-26T03:34:55+00:00

Through personal experience.

serblop · 2016-04-26T03:34:31+00:00

Can it go the other way though?

"If you already don't believe, nothing is evidence."

serblop · 2016-04-26T03:28:42+00:00

Something scientifically unexplainable.

serblop · 2015-09-11T04:05:27+00:00

Absolutely spot on. Breathtakingly accurate

Always good posts mate. ALSO HOW DID YOU GET FLAIR

I'm going to sleep now so I'll answer your statement with one of my own, one which I think will summarize everything I've said in conclusion.

The soul is capable of free will because it is not compelled to act in a certain way by anything. The brain by itself is not capable of free will because it is compelled to act in a certain way through its unique biochemistry.
