The reason (and scripture although now according to the rules of the thread, its unacceptable) is out there, so what you do with it is up to you. Worldly ideas and theories can not be used to justify The Word. That's like trying to join ABC fraternity using DEF's ritual and manual.

I have to agree with Love_Spell, that as this thread has progressed and scripture is given, all of a sudden new limitations are then added on when you don't get the answer you expect or to your liking.

So in short, if not wavering in your beliefs is considered "bible thumping, corner and trash can preaching" then cool - not everyone will be receptive to the Word. You may not like Bro. Fred's approach, but that does not nulify the truth, as neither does cheap shots and personal attacks.

I will be more than happy to chat (or talk) with anyone who wants more info., but I will not go into it on this threas further because (a) it ain't on topic and (b) I feel like this thread has turned into a tit-for-tat pissing contest of which I will not participate in.

Actually, both sides of done what you have mentioned. So don't just put it in the "questioners." That in itself is part of the problem.

My point is I respect your beliefs. I may not agree with all of them but I sure am not going to judge you and say you are condemned because of them. So why can't you (not you personally) accept me and my beliefs the same way? Why must I be labeled as unGodly?
