The bible says otherwise. Natural or not; lust is a sin. God says it in His word. This is a Christian site and I doubt you'll find many here who deny that the bible, God's inspired word, is our final standard. Well why would such feelings of lust be embedded in us as humans? Why would god be so mis...

I don't see what business anyone 's private life is of anybody else other than the parties involved. Why is god so interested in what people do behind closed doors? Sexual urges and lust are natural and beneficial parts of human evolution. It is an evolutionary reward for mating and subsequently mai...

You misunderstand my motives. This ex post facto business is a red herring. It isn't why I made the thread. I do not claim any particular level of validity in that particular source. It was a randomly plucked example of using quotes from the bible to support a viewpoint and a hopeless attempt at kee...

The post above me. That kind of stuff doesn't help. The Fortigurn comment I'm talking about. It's unproductive and it undermines the reason why I come on here, which is to ingest as much information as I can about Christian attitudes towards certain issues. I don't see why there's a need to be antag...

Why does it need to turn into an ad hominem argument all the time? I want you to attack my points, not my person. If you remember, the original idea wasn't to make a thread about ex post facto law but to talk about Leviticus 18 (as indicated in the title). The point of ex post facto was presented to...

Thanks for all for the replies. I really wanted to know, though, about the seemingly prescriptivist nature the bible has within Christianity. Does a later quote in the bible override a previous one which is contrary to it? And for the record, ex post facto law is not for a biblical debate, but as yo...

Surely that's active promotion of the gospel, not active opposition of satan. How does one actively oppose satan? Actively opposing satan is no more possible than actively opposing god. How can you actively oppose something that isn't a direct intervention in your life, rather it is something that e...

Leviticus 18 - The bible and incest
Now I know that many of you will refer to a very specific verse in the bible in order to support a particular claim. My question here is about the striking implications of biblical creationism compared with passages such as Leviticus 18. Here is Leviticus 18: 1 The LORD said to Moses, 2 "Speak ...
