There is such a fine line there. painfully fine.. in Testimonies on Sexual Behavior, Adultery, and Divorce (1989), p. 242 If we err, let it be on the side of mercy rather than on the side of condemnation and harsh dealing There was an interesting report I read to day from Johns Hopkins saying http://www.churchleaders.com/daily-buzz/285441-johns-hopkins-university-study-no-scientific-evidence-people-born-gay-transgender.html?utm_content=buffer958ed&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer I tend to agree with that, when I studied into this 30 years ago, and much has been unveiled since that I have studied is the they are often shaped that way by their parents. Yet they are that way and need more mercy than harsh Judgement.2 points -

In a pretend world that does not exist, gays & Lesbians would say, "lets get our cake from a Christian place, there is something about them that gives them the best quality" In the same imaginary world an transsexual would say "You can not work with anyone with a better work ethic, leadership ethic than a born again christian" "they even told me they pray for me" "I wish I would have experienced that love in the past" We are all sinners, some get caught and some don't, and some have fully deceived themselves. Just my opinion, nothing more. "we shall know them by their love"1 point -

That would be my pick as well. Answer: Born Cassius Clay in Louisville, Kentucky, Muhammad Ali became an Olympic gold medalist in 1960. As Cassius Clay, Ali travelled to the 1960 Rome Games to compete in the light heavyweight division. Despite being only 18, he won all four of his fights easily. In the final he defeated three-time European champion Zbigniew Pietrzykowski to win the light heavyweight gold medal. In 1996, Ali was chosen to light the flame during the Opening Ceremony of the Atlanta Olympic Games. I should've spent more time thinking about how old he was when he passed away!!! So much for actually watching him in the Olympics, and still thinking it was Munich!! LOL1 point -

If we declassify them as a neighbour, would that exempt us from Judgement day stuff?1 point -

@Rossw What do people want done with the Transgendered folks? Execute them? Make their life worse than it is? Declassify them as possible neighbours? Banish them to an island far away? Make sure they never work again? Make sure they have no place to live?1 point -

Answer: The Flintstones is an animated, prime-time American television sitcom that was broadcast from September 30, 1960, to April 1, 1966. Mr. Slate was Fred's hot tempered boss at the Bedrock Quarry and Gravel Company. He is voice by John Stephenson. A running gag is his ever-changing first name, which has been presented as Sylvester, Nate, Oscar and George. On the episode "The Long, Long, Long Weekend", which originally aired on January 21, 1966, he is shown as being the founder of Slate Rock and Gravel Company. The company is still in business two million years later and is being run by his descendant George Slate the Eighty-Thousandth1 point -

Answer: Polo must be played right-handed. The use of the left hand or the mallet was banned in the 1930s. The rule was relaxed after World War II when there was a lack of players, but the rules were re-introduced in 1974. The banning of left-handed play is for safety reasons in order to avoid the likelihood of a head-on collision between players. As a left-handed player and a right-handed player head for the ball, they would not pass each other as they do in right-hand only games. Happy International Left-Hander's Day!1 point -
Abortion...I would call this a theological issue

Does it have the "breath of life"? None of us has life apart from the living chain of life that goes all the way back to Adam. However, when Adam walked this earth alone, how many "souls" existed? Was your soul in Adam? What, then, defines the separation between Adam's soul and yours? According to the Bible, it is breath. In virtually every culture of the world, people agree with this definition. We count someone's age from his or her day of birth. Why? Because when you are born, and the umbilical cord is cut, you now have your own "breath of life." While it is indisputably true that the newborn's "life" existed prior to his or her birth--that life goes all the way back to Adam in an unbroken chain--it is also true that the Adam did not consist of billions of souls, nor do we hold those of our children. And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. (Genesis 2:7) While the modern definition of a day goes from midnight to midnight, the Biblical definition was from sunset to sunset. While the modern definition of "life" is often based on brainwaves or heartbeats, the Biblical definition was based on breath--if one breathes, one is a living soul. We may have changed the definitions, obscuring their significance, but I don't see God as the one who moved. The genealogy of our race, as given by inspiration, traces back its origin, not to a line of developing germs, mollusks, and quadrupeds, but to the great Creator. Though formed from the dust, Adam was "the son of God." {PP 44.3}1 point -
Abortion...I would call this a theological issue
8thdaypriest reacted to rudywoofs (Pam) for a topic
"After reaching a high of over 1.6 million in 1990, the number of abortions performed annually in the U.S. have dropped to around 1.06 million a year" http://www.nrlc.org/uploads/factsheets/FS01AbortionintheUS.pdf Are there 1.06 million people in the US willing to adopt a child every year? While an increase of 1.06 million infants every year would be a tremendous boon to the Pampers and Huggies industry, as well as the ongoing increase in needed supplies, what about the ones whose families would be required to go on public assistance because they couldn't provide for the children. What about those infants born with severe abnormalities, with the attendant ongoing medical needs? Yes, those things would require an increase in medical specialty employment. And of course, there would be an increase need for more teachers. But then there would also be a need for an increase in available jobs down the line. What is needed is contraception information... (btw, I am *not* pro-abortion — but I'm also not one to close my eyes to the problems associated with the very few options espoused by the pro-life folks, either)1 point
