  Re: Does God have a monopoly on gods?
 
(...) One of the arguments that has been repeated over and over here is the issue of the gender of God, and how to address God, which I think we'll all have to agree to dissagree on. I've stated my case on what I have researched and believe. You (...) (25 years ago, 5-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Is God gay? (was Re: Does God have a monopoly on gods?)
 
First off, sorry if anyone was offended by the subject...I was getting tired of the old one. (...) <sigh> There you go again, speaking as if your opinions are the prerequisite for Christianity. It may not be a secret to anyone else, but to me the (...) (25 years ago, 6-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Is God gay? (was Re: Does God have a monopoly on gods?)
 
(...) The prereqs for being a Christian have been around long before I graced this earth. You make it sound like I'm professing to be the be-all and end-all of Christian knowledge. If stating what I believe based on facts I have researched is (...) (25 years ago, 6-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Doh! You assumed right, I did not. I thought you lived in the USA too. Sorry about that! I'm sure that it happens all of the time because a lot of Americans tend to assume that everyone on the Internet is an American too (NOW I notice the .au (...)

  Re: Is God gay? (was Re: Does God have a monopoly on gods?)
 
(...) I'm not Christain, but I am gay, and my daughter is Christian, so I've done some digging on this to combat the stuff she was getting from her church which had her really worried about *me*. Without getting into a long rigamarole, there are (...) (25 years ago, 6-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Is God gay? (was Re: Does God have a monopoly on gods?)
 
(...) Before I start, I'd like to say that there is no "super-bad" sin. All sin is considered equal in the eyes of God (except perhaps blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Matthew 12:31. Not sure how that one works). Many people, Christians included, (...) (25 years ago, 6-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Actually, its not so clear if you consider what is known as "pseudographia" -- the books selected out by Peter and the other late-comers (some of these were 200 years later late-comers). I, like others in this mad thread, have forgotten and (...) (25 years ago, 6-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) <snip> Somewhere we have a pamphlet about all this but I gave it to Liz and so I don't remember where it is. I'll try and find it and type some of them in for you, but I've no intention of typing in the whole thing :-). The only one I remember (...) (25 years ago, 6-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Is God gay? (was Re: Does God have a monopoly on gods?)
 
(...) And the fact that my tent isn't x cubits long and y cubits high, and I prefer to shake hands on an agreement rather than carve up an ox and walk through the middle of it means that most of the Levitical laws I don't practice. Jesus stated that (...) (25 years ago, 6-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) If you tell me a bit about it I'll try to source it from my side of the Pacific Pond.

(...) <snipped list> (...) Well, for all intents and purposes, all of Leviticus is given equal weight. So if you are going to cite it as a source for correct behavior, you should either cite it as a single work, or disregard it, IMHO. Either (...) (25 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

  Re: Is God gay? (was Re: Does God have a monopoly on gods?)
 
(...) Well, I don't think the Bible said that every animal made it OFF of the ark (alive anyway).

  Re: Is God gay? (was Re: Does God have a monopoly on gods?)
 
(...) I thought you asserted that you didn't believe in God, Ed. Therefore, how can He have a sense of humor.
