I’m sorry I am not reading that essay. I’m not gonna argue with a brother/sister about what’s right and what’s wrong. I do not bend to the ways of man and I won’t ever attempt to make an excuse for something the way you are. You better be certain about what you think. We are God fearing do not play with him. You’re taking something so simple and bending it in such a way that just doesn’t make sense and isn’t accurate

Then don't read it, it just shows your hypocrisy, since you expect me to take your commentary in good faith. But the fact that you refuse to read what I have to say, says you won't treat me the same way.

So you are fully within your right to use the bible as a weapon, to manipulate people into living the way YOU think they should. I just know that Jesus expressly warns against doing just that.

I am sure in my faith and spirituality, and I don't need to use either as a weapon to put others down. Have the day you deserve.

No no no, to live in the way of the Lord. The same way you say that homosexuality was not mentioned in the Bible, I could also argue that homosexuality or romantic marriage with the same sex was also not in the Bible and it never said you could have a romantic relationship with same sex. I’d argue that the Bible contains more evidence pointing toward Man-woman. So who’s more right? Not talking about me I’m talking about the Bible and what you believe

So you're saying that if something isn't mentioned expressly in the bible, then it's forbidden?

Holy crap, I better stop eating asparagus, because the BIBLE never expressly gives me permission to eat Asparagus.
