Title: Why Is Sex Outside of Marriage A Sin?
Post by: TheReasonator on November 01, 2012, 10:54:24 am
It's never explicitly stated in the Bible, yet it's widely believed by Christians and has been even more strongly believed in the past than now.

Who said it was a sin? What social pressures lead them to say it and what social pressures lead others to propagate and follow it? Were they any countertendancies? Anybody who said that wasn't sound doctrine?

As I recall right, the whole "No sex outside of marriage" thing came from the mitzvah that said that a woman that wasn't a virgin when she got married was to be stoned.

That and you have idiots that actually think that a ring will stop various sexual things like the guy running away if he knocks the girl up and stuff like that.

Remember that whole patriarchy hangup we've had for the last few thousand years? As a man, you can never be sure that a child is yours unless you take steps to keep other men away from your property. It's a sin not because men think women are prone to it, it's a sin because men know they are.

"It's never explicitly stated in the Bible"

Uh, the seventh commandment? That whole "thou shalt not commit adultery" thing? That's pretty fucking explicit.

From Merriam-Webster's Dictionary

Quote
voluntary sexual intercourse between a married man and someone other than his wife or between a married woman and someone other than her husband

If neither person is married, it is not adultery.

The way it was explained to me (which Wikipedia tells me is in line with Catholic doctrine), was that adultery was having sex with anyone who was not your spouse. That meant that if you had sex with someone and you weren't married yet, well, they still aren't your spouse, so it's technically adultery anyway. Same with masturbation, because you aren't married to yourself.

On a lot of topics, you're right.  But on this one, from my experience growing up in a Protestant home and (Methodist) church, sex outside of marriage is always considered a sin.  I was going to respond to Smurfette's comment that you quoted and say that it isn't just Catholics that think this way.  I also think her explanation of why it is considered adultery is correct.  At least, that's what I had always been taught.  If your sexual partner is not your spouse, it's adultery.

If Smurphy's reasoning that premarital sex = adultery stems from catholic dogma, then even if other sects believe it, then it still stands that the Bible isn't against it. Although the Bible doesn't mention it. Probably because kids being married at age 12 meant pre-maritial sex was very rare in these times.

It is covered in the Bible.  As m52nickerson's post just before your last one pointed out, it's also called fornication, which specifically does include sex outside of marriage and is called a sin.  Don't know how it could be any clearer that the Bible is against it.

Post by: TheL on November 05, 2012, 12:22:10 pm
From what I can tell, the original reason for making non-marital sex taboo was the following:

1. Before birth control, and in societies where property was handed down from father to son, you needed a way to be certain that your wife's kids were, in fact, your own.  If she'd never slept with anybody else, then you knew your stuff was in fact going to your kids.

2. If you were a pregnant woman, and the father of your child left you, you were screwed in both the literal and figurative sense, as women in many early cultures weren't allowed to own property and only had access to one profession--the world's oldest.  (This is also why Jewish prophets are recorded as saying a LOT about giving to widows--if you were a woman and didn't have a husband, you had NOTHING.)  If you were married to the father of your children, then he was automatically guaranteed to take responsibility, as they were now legally part of his family in addition to being blood offspring.

3. In the days when marriage was a financial transaction, a deflowered woman was considered less valuable than a virgin, partly for the reasons above, and partly because the system of inheritance in place at the time was so strongly dependent on controlling women.  If you could discourage premarital sex, and marry your daughters off young, then all the males in the arrangement benefited, and your daughters weren't left on the streets.

Naturally, the modern combination of readily-available birth control and higher ages at first marriage have made the need for a premarital sex taboo obsolete, which explains why our culture's attitudes toward premarital sex have changed so dramatically over the past 50 years or so.

Why didn't these societies just handle inheritance the way we do it i.e. by allowing you to dispose of it however you like? What was the function of mandating that it must pass from father to oldest son regardless of the father's wishes?

And what would've happened to a society that did choose to do inheritance by choice back then?

Post by: Paradox on November 05, 2012, 01:34:01 pm
I don't think that premarital sex is a sin.  Maybe staying a virgin until marriage was a practical option back when most people married in their teens, but nowdays the average age of marriage is around thirty, at least in America.  It's just not reasonable to tell people to completely deny their sexual urges until mid adulthood.

I do think that infidelity is wrong though.  Some people have open marriage and whatnot, but I try my best not to have an opinion on that sort of thing.  Lord only knows how that works out.

Sheep(Or Goat, me thinks) intestine condoms have existed for quite a long time. You can find mention of them, to my knowledge, in Pompeii! Just they were pretty terrible compared to modern birth control.

That doesn't actually address Reasonator's comment. What if the father hated his eldest son and wanted his second son to get everything? What if he wanted all his sons to share equally?

To answer the second question, if not the first: breaking up inheritances is messy. There's deciding what goes to whom, but more than that: let's say you have ninety acres of land and you have three sons. You love your sons equally, so they each get thirty acres. Then each of them has three sons and breaks it up evenly, and so each of your grandsons get ten acres. It doesn't take that many generations to not having enough land to pass on. Better to keep everything in the family and giving away everything as one big chunk instead of giving it all away.

Because a woman's property would belong to her husband when she married (this was the case in UK law until 1870). This is why the rules about a woman inheriting tend to involve her marrying a male relative to keep the property in the family.

So then why didn't they just allow joint ownership?
Or even separate places owned and then meeting at regular scheduled intervals for relations. I've read that at the latter part(meeting at regularly scheduled intervals) was/is still? a custom in some parts of India.

I Think a rousing game of Crusader Kings 2 played entirely on Gravelkind could give you a very good idea why equal inheritance is terrible.

There's also a shift through later ages from Agnatic Inheritance to Agnatic-Cognate to eventually what we have today, absolute Cognate. Or male Only to females if there's no males (Elizabeth, Katherine as examples) to females and males inherit equally. Provided, of course, there's no will. I think the main issue why until recently why wills and the like usually didn't work that easily because if you could make a good argument that somebody 'coerced' the late individual into the will, you could start a succession struggle. Having clear rules regardless of who's king or duke or land owner, prevents such things. Either in personal violence or civil war.  As writing and witnesship became clearer, such claims could not be made without a great deal of doubt.

I mean, Charlemange's Holy Roman Empire originally was really Roman and an Empire, and was anointed by the pope (Therefore holy), but his son's got it split between the German/Italian portion and the French portion. Why splitting up inheritances results in awful things. Though it doesn't help that Feudalism is a terrible way to run a large country like France-Germany-Italy Empire. Why joint ownership also doesn't work (Originally the Sons were supposed to Joint Rule, but they just couldn't having an equal).

Because for a long time women were considered men "gone wrong" and were incapable of rational thought, morality, or self-control. Later on women were considered "too pure" to be involved in things like property ownership and something that "dirty" should stay the domain of her male relatives.

 The Bible promotes complete abstinence before marriage. Sex between a husband and his wife is the only form of sexual relations of which God approves. Just look at Hebrews 13:4
 "Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge" So why would one want to take part in immorality and risk their eternal soul. It is just not worth displeasing God for a bit of lustful fornication.

Alright, I've been waiting to post in this thread for a while now.

As many of you know, I'm a devout Roman Catholic, and also a virgin who has every intention of waiting until marriage to have sex. It's true that this desire, at least growing up, was heavily influenced by my faith— my parents and my church made it clear that I should wait, and the younger me listened. But nowadays, as I've matured and come into my own beliefs, I have a different rationale for staying celibate until I marry.

Let me first say, though, that I don't see anything wrong with premarital sex. Simply put, it's your choice what you do with your body and sexuality, and I neither have nor desire any authority over that decision. Sex feels good for a reason. Evolutionarily speaking, it's fun because if it wasn't no one would do it. And, as someone who firmly believes in God, I don't believe He'd give us the gift of sex only to punish us when we use it. Sex isn't bad, and having doesn't make you bad.

I've chosen to stay celibate because I can only have my first time once. My first girlfriend, my first kiss, my first real dance... All those firsts are part of old relationships, of attempts that failed. But my virginity is still mine to give, and I want to give it to the person I plan to spend the rest of my life with. It's a token of my love, and a sign that I consider her worth that wait and sacrifice. Not all couples need this token— most don't, in fact. Love isn't all about sex, and sex doesn't prove or create love. But my Aspergers means that I'm always going to have trouble expressing my love through words and actions. So I've chosen to remain chaste and let that choice say the words for me, better than I ever could. I don't care if my future wife is a virgin or not— her body, her call. I may not want to know about her past sex life, but I can't fault her for having one. I don't plan to base my whole future relationship around her old relationships.

If you've had sex before marriage, I hope you were safe. I hope it was wonderful and you don't regret it one bit. I don't have an ounce of judgement in me towards you. Just as you chose to, I've chosen not to, for my own reasons. Neither of us is right or wrong.

Also, Pastor, I mean you no mockery when I say this: What petty God would damn His creations to hell for acting on a natural desire?

God is most glorified through you when you are most satisfied in Him. Through your suffering in staying pure God is being glorified by your decision to stay that way rather than give in to sinful temptation.

But how is sex sinful? Sex is something almost all human beings are capable of and desire (with the exception of asexuals), brings great joy to those involved, and, when practiced safely and intelligently, brings no harm to those who engage in it. Sex doesn't have to be a negative thing.

And my celibacy is in no way "suffering". It doesn't affect my life or happiness in any way.

Many things are pleasurable that should not be indulged in. Drinking and drugs are supposed to be pleasureable but lead to debaucherous behavior. Gambling is a worldly pleasure for though it leads to broken homes and tremendous loss. The Lord is testing us everyday with worldly pleasures. Unbridled lust, excess, licentiousness, wantonness, outrageousness, shamelessness, insolence, and drunkenness we must avoid like the plague. The Bible says that you “cannot serve two masters.” Either you are obeying God, doing what is right, or you are doing what the world does. Those who are seeking the pleasures in this world are honoring themselves, not God.

Drinking, drugs, and gambling aren't the same as sex. Each of those have clear negative consequences- drugs and alcohol are literally poisonous, for example. Under the brief pleasure is a lifetime of potential pain. In moderation, however, gambling and alcohol won't harm you, and hard drugs are easy to avoid. There's also no natural inborn desire to do any of those things, and none of them are part of human biology.

But I don't think of God as some sort of trickster just waiting for you to mess up or make a mistake so He can condemn you. Such complicated rules that run totally against human nature are more of a trap waiting to be sprung than a test of faith to be endured.

The Bible promotes complete abstinence before marriage. Sex between a husband and his wife is the only form of sexual relations of which God approves. Just look at Hebrews 13:4
 "Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge" So why would one want to take part in immorality and risk their eternal soul. It is just not worth displeasing God for a bit of lustful fornication.

Frankly I don't mind having a different view on the subject--even though I totally disagree. Actually I think that leads to the most fun on this board.
Is a bit of hedonistic pleasure worth eternal damnation? God gave us a great big pineapple and He said don't touch it. He didn't say touch it once in a while; He didn't say take a nibble when you're hungry; He said don't touch it, period.
I didn't even see that you quoted what I said. Were you responding to me?

Okay, well, I'm pretty much neutral on sex. If you want to have it outside of marriage that's up to you. If you want to wait until you marry that's also fine. To me it comes down to what you and your partner are comfortable with. Though I'm an atheist so unfortunately any argument based on Biblical admonitions won't really convince me.

Same way. They referred to it as "Safer Sex" sort of how we refer to tasers as "Less-Lethal." It helps... but in some cases it still results in issues.

Which is true. "Safe-sex" isn't usually 100% fail-proof.

Ok, Dave, you're gonna have to take a better route than the whole "the commandment said none of this, so none of this ever", especially when you're dealing with a god that commanded no killing/murder, then ordered a whole lot of genocides (Before having his army stomped by some bumpkins with iron chariots).


EDIT: Might as well have some more fun with this, seeing as Rinella is making some more reasonable posts as compared to Dave.

Just curious about something, the definition of adultery according to most Christians is sex outside of marriage in any form. Be it pre-marriage, an extra-marital affair, or a widow remarrying (according to the Bible at any rate). Now, based on this, how can someone say that Jesus isn't the result of adultery. Last I checked, Mary wasn't married to Yahweh. Or does it not count since apparently "because God"?

I can't speak for all Christians, but I don't think of Christ as being "conceived" in the normal sense. He simply appeared in Mary's womb. God and Mary didn't literally have sex.

And adultery, to my knowledge, means cheating in a married relationship. Sex before marriage is "fornication".

OK, here's the thing: only 2 forms of sex are really condemned in the Bible.  Prostitution, and adultery.  And the only way to have adultery is if one or both of the people having sex are married to other people.

So if neither of you are married, it's not adultery.  Words have meanings.

By the way, Dave?  Here are a lot of hedonistic pleasures I enjoy, that are not considered sinful by any definition:

- Sewing.
- Playing video games.
- Singing silly songs.
- Quoting Doctor Who and Star Wars back and forth with my boyfriend.
- Crochet.
- Making Jell-O gummies.
- Playing tug-of-war and fetch with my dog.
- Reading.
- Walking in the fresh air and sunshine.
- Trying new foods.
- Dressing up for Renaissance Faires.

It just seems silly and wrong to equate all pleasure with sin the way you're doing.  There are so many pleasurable things in life that don't hurt anyone and are not against any religion.  Why would any loving deity not want our lives to have any fun in them at all?  Sure there's suffering, but there is also joy.  To ignore the joy will sap the life out of you if you let it.

Because my belief structure differs from yours, the risk is very different. And again, differing beliefs, I tend to view my eternal soul differently along with the role of worldly pleasures. But really, none of that makes your argument that what you said about drinking, gambling, and drugs factually incorrect. It's really dishonest to say gambling, drinking, or drugs will lead to a broken home or anything else you've said.

Sorry for the double post. For some reason, I couldn't get the modify button working.

Anyways, Pastor Dave, I have a question for you. You brought up Hebrews 13:4, which says "Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge" Awesome! But the problem is it does little to address the original question. See, being a whore means trading some sort of goods or services in exchange for sex. And adultery means at least one person in the relationship is married. But what the original question is talking about is premarital and (I'm assuming) with no thought to any kind of payment. Your verse did mention marriage is honorable, but it said nothing at all about premarriage. If you could address that, please, I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Well, forgiveness as I understood it was supposed to be insurance for honest oopsies or slip ups or lapses.

I think he was talking to the Pastor. And in Catholicism, even willful sins can be forgiven. In fact, part of Reconciliation is acknowledging that you knew what you did was wrong and did it anyway.

You can willfully sin and be forgiven. At least in catholic faith. Sincere desire for absolution and forgiveness is a requirement, so you may regret taking the action at all (Though not always), but you can gain forgiveness for any action. No matter how bad it is. Why Catholic Priests cannot be used as witnesses if they had a crime confessed to them in the reconciliation room. It's like a 1000x against their religion and would undermine the very concept of reconciliation. Though most Catholic Priests advise, if the crime wouldn't get the death penalty and Justice asks for reasonable punishment, that they accept the prison sentence and turn themselves in.

In Catholic tradition, there are two levels of sin. Venial, which are forgiven at every mass, and Mortal, which can only be forgiven through reconciliation. All sins start as venial, and only become mortal if you understand they are mortal. I was taught Lying is the most basic mortal sin and that goes up to things like genocide.

Its subject must be a grave (or serious) matter. (Though all the ten commandants are serious matters, so lying and cursing with God's name is mortal sinnery, provided the lie is more than a little.)
It must be committed with full knowledge, both of the sin and of the gravity of the offense (no one is considered ignorant of the principles of the moral law, which are inborn as part of human knowledge, but these principles can be misunderstood in a particular context).
It must be committed with deliberate and complete consent, enough for it to have been a personal decision to commit the sin. (Thus, if you rob someone to appease someone holding like, your love, with a gun to her head and you do it, it's only considered Venial.)

Orthodox tradition has a larger list of sins, with Pardonable being the bottom (Pardon as in you don't need penance to gain absolution) to Mortal (Meaning you need LOTS of penance for that absolution) at the top. It's seven long list.

Roman Catholicism makes salvation a long, complicated process with no assurance of eternal life and forgiveness of all sin. Baptism, Mass, Confession, prayers to Mary and the Saints(evil), good works, and purgatory are all added to faith in Christ. By contrast, the Bible teaches salvation by faith in Jesus Christ alone. Bible salvation is God's free gift to any sinner who believes that Christ died for their sins and rose again for their defense. Bible salvation gives immediate assurance of eternal life. No church ever saved anyone, but Christ can and will save everyone who will come and trust Him as their Saviour. Membership or faith in a church does not secure salvation for anyone, but trust Christ and Him alone and you will be saved for all eternity. The Catholic religion is straight out of the pits of hell.  I do not call Catholicism a "church" because it is NOT a church, it is a FALSE religion.  How can you have a "church" when heathen people gather in the name of false doctrine?  You can't Jesus clearly made a direct correlation between worship and doctrine in Mark 6:6-9.

Yeah, I know he was. But at that point, Pastor hasn't said anything too dickish. I thought the over sarcastic tone wasn't warranted just yet. I was hoping we'd wait til he said something a bit more douchey (like Catholicism is a cult and of the devil) before we jumped on him.

While I'm here, pastor, have you given any thought to my questions regarding Hebrews applying to premarital sex sans payment? Because one of our rules here is answering direct questions. I find ir a bit interesting (not to mention very telling) you thought it more worthy to jump on Catholicism due to a remark in passing rather than defend the Bible.

MD, you're right about the letter of the law. I was talking about the spirit. Sorry, I should have made that clearer. But it was meant to be an aside, not really meriting a serious discussion in regards to the topic at hand.

I tend to always be somewhat sarcastic, even when I intend no offense.

Roman Catholicism makes salvation a long, complicated process with no assurance of eternal life and forgiveness of all sin. Baptism, Mass, Confession, prayers to Mary and the Saints(evil), good works, and purgatory are all added to faith in Christ. By contrast, the Bible teaches salvation by faith in Jesus Christ alone. Bible salvation is God's free gift to any sinner who believes that Christ died for their sins and rose again for their defense. Bible salvation gives immediate assurance of eternal life. No church ever saved anyone, but Christ can and will save everyone who will come and trust Him as their Saviour. Membership or faith in a church does not secure salvation for anyone, but trust Christ and Him alone and you will be saved for all eternity. The Catholic religion is straight out of the pits of hell.  I do not call Catholicism a "church" because it is NOT a church, it is a FALSE religion.  How can you have a "church" when heathen people gather in the name of false doctrine?  You can't Jesus clearly made a direct correlation between worship and doctrine in Mark 6:6-9.

Did you seriously just call people who went to heaven evil? Are you... how... what? My brain just. No. No. Just. Blarg. Saints are people who have gone to heaven.

The sacraments are there to help bring people closer to God and absolve them of sin. It does not get in their way, instead reconfirms and pulls them closer in.

On Good works...

17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. James 2.

It also seems to be that your contradicting yourself. If all Jesus requires is belief and faith in him, wouldn't that mean you can do whatever you want while maintaining a fervent belief in him and still go to heaven? Why this concern for sin, when love of Jesus Christ will get you to heaven regardless of that?

I'm not going to derail the thread too much, but there is no way I'm letting this go unanswered.

Roman Catholicism makes salvation a long, complicated process with no assurance of eternal life and forgiveness of all sin.

Salvation isn't complicated. Do the right thing, and seek forgiveness for your sins, and the Kingdom of heaven shall be open to you. And it's true, we don't guarantee eternal life, but that's not a bad thing. If there's no guarantee that you'll be rewarded simply for saying a few words, then you have a reason to go out and work amongst the people and help them through their trouble. By that, you earn your place in Heaven.

Quote
Baptism, Mass, Confession, prayers to Mary and the Saints(evil), good works, and purgatory are all added to faith in Christ.

You do realize we don't actually pray to Mary and the saints, right? We ask them to pray for us, much like how you might ask a friend to pray for you in troubled times. We pray to God and Jesus Christ.

And what, exactly, is wrong with doing good works? Someone needs to do them, after all, and how could a loving God possibly be bothered by helping His creations, even if it isn't a requirement for salvation?

Christ, the Holy Son of God Himself, chose to work amongst the poor and marginalized. Who are we mere mortals to turn our backs on them?

A translation of a translation from four hundred years ago? That's the infallible version? I'd think the most accurate version to the direct words of God is the original Hebrew and Aramaic. What makes an English translation from Latin so special and deserving of love?

I can't help but notice that you utterly ignored the rest of my post. You've been doing it often, in fact— many good points and questions have been raised by other posters and up have gone totally unanswered by you. You've spent your whole time here posting preplanned rants condemning people you've never met, ignoring anything you can't or don't want to answer because you're afraid of having to think for yourself, and demeaning my friends on this board because you consider yourself above them.

I'm sorry I don't seem to hear God's Word the way you do. Then again, our beloved Lord saw fit to have me born hearing-impaired.

No, what you did is answer only the posts you wanted to, namely you went Catholic bashing, and claimed it was because you are pressed for time.

The papacy also has a long history of ecumenism and noble giving. It depends on the Pope, because they are people. People during the 1200-1600s turned the Papacy into a position of physical power instead of spiritual, and the reformation drove the need for the Papacy to return to being, well, a decent individual in that seat. Luther and Calvin wanted to reform the church from Within, their followers created the split.

Just to get this out now. Pope=/=Catholic, Infallible, Emperor.

The institution's not perfect, I'll grant that. No major institution that has existed for hundreds of years on end is without it's past atrocities, and it's not perfect now either. But being Catholic shouldn't mean I am responsible for those actions. I had nothing to do with them.

        Satan is the author of confusion, remember that. If Satan can't get you to deny the Scriptures, then he'll try to get you to doubt the Scriptures. If Satan can't get you to deny or doubt the Scriptures, then he'll try to confuse you concerning “which Bible” to use. The 1611 King James Bible is God's inspired, infallible, inerrant, impeccable and preserved Words of God. That's what it is. We have God's inspired Words in the English-speaking language, without error. I fully realize that most King James Bibles published today are based upon the 1769 Oxford text (an edition of the 1611 version). The authorized 1611 King James Version has never been revised, only edited. The main purpose of the 1762 and 1769 editions was the standardization of spelling. This in no way altered the meaning or preservation or inspiration of the 1611 King James Bible. We can trust our 1611 King James Bible.
The false prophets who say that the King James Bible is not inerrant, also embrace the modern corrupt versions (such as the New International Version) as being God's Word too. They view all Bibles as being inferior and inerrant; but anyone with a brain can see that all of the modern Bible versions ATTACK the deity of Jesus Christ. As for your second question I am a Independent fundamentalist Baptist that proudly brandishes the sword of the Lord.

How do you know its true? It has literally 1611 years removal from Jesus. It's in a completely foreign language and was translated from the Greek (Not Aramaic) bibles. One thing that really lends Catholics credibility on this subject is because they tend to admit that most of the books were written after the fact and most weren't eyewitness. With some debate over Saint John the Divine supposedly 100 year life and Mark being really young child follower of Jesus at the time. Also... you said Saints are Evil. If Saint John the Divine is evil, you called the Gospel of John AND Revelation evil. Trying to contain my mockery laughter is hard.

I'd prefer to have my sword made of steel and then tempered with the Holy Spirit, personally. I shall then put on my white cross and batwing helmet, and ride you down as a Teutonic Knight, you Heretic!

Reminds me trying to argue with my roommate about the Bible and belief structures when he approaches it like a fundie Protestant and I approach it as a Liberal Catholic. I use a different bible, have a vastly different tradition, and was much more deeply embedded than him. I'm an agnostic and he's an atheist, but still.

Anyways, Pastor Dave, I have a question for you. You brought up Hebrews 13:4, which says "Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge" Awesome! But the problem is it does little to address the original question. See, being a whore means trading some sort of goods or services in exchange for sex. And adultery means at least one person in the relationship is married. But what the original question is talking about is premarital and (I'm assuming) with no thought to any kind of payment. Your verse did mention marriage is honorable, but it said nothing at all about premarriage. If you could address that, please, I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Earlier this morning, a couple pages ago, I brought this up. Looking back, there are no question marks there. Mea Culpa. But we can fix that right now. How does Hebrews 13:4 (which you brought up and I'm using your quote text for) deal with premarital sex?

I'd prefer to have my sword made of steel and then tempered with the Holy Spirit, personally. I shall then put on my white cross and batwing helmet, and ride you down as a Teutonic Knight, you Heretic!

Reminds me trying to argue with my roommate about the Bible and belief structures when he approaches it like a fundie Protestant and I approach it as a Liberal Catholic. I use a different bible, have a vastly different tradition, and was much more deeply embedded than him. I'm an agnostic and he's an atheist, but still. Though he's also one of those people who believes all his opinions to be facts and all his assumed knowledge to be facts.
It's true because it is the true written word of the Lord, It's all right there, just open your eyes and heart. My opinions are not opinions, they are a truth that you will one day be faced with.

That is circular logic. Circular Logic. CIRCULAR LOGIC. Stop being like a snake devouring its own tail.

Some English guys who decided it'd be nice if divorce was a little more liberal are the deciding factors of who the written word of the lord is! Anglicans are barely Protestants! They separated because the King wanted more power! Yet they are the ones to write the true written word of the Lord? 1611 years after Jesus? This doesn't make sense theologically nor does it make sense logically.

I'm sorry to get aggressive, but your stupidity is making me angry.

How do you know its true? It has literally 1611 years removal from Jesus. It's in a completely foreign language and was translated from the Greek (Not Aramaic) bibles. One thing that really lends Catholics credibility on this subject is because they tend to admit that most of the books were written after the fact and most weren't eyewitness.

If Satan can't get you to deny or doubt the Scriptures, then he'll try to confuse you concerning “which Bible” to use. The 1611 King James Bible is God's inspired, infallible, inerrant, impeccable and preserved Words of God. That's what it is. We have God's inspired Words in the English-speaking language, without error. I fully realize that most King James Bibles published today are based upon the 1769 Oxford text (an edition of the 1611 version). The authorized 1611 King James Version has never been revised, only edited. The main purpose of the 1762 and 1769 editions was the standardization of spelling. This in no way altered the meaning or preservation or inspiration of the 1611 King James Bible. We can trust our 1611 King James Bible.
The false prophets who say that the King James Bible is not inerrant, also embrace the modern corrupt versions (such as the New International Version) as being God's Word too. They view all Bibles as being inferior and inerrant; but anyone with a brain can see that all of the modern Bible versions ATTACK the deity of Jesus Christ. As for your second question I am a Independent fundamentalist Baptist that proudly brandishes the sword of the Lord.

You're a troll.  This is proof right here.  This is the exact over top wording that trolls who are trying to emulate fundies use.

Anyways, Pastor Dave, I have a question for you. You brought up Hebrews 13:4, which says "Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge" Awesome! But the problem is it does little to address the original question. See, being a whore means trading some sort of goods or services in exchange for sex. And adultery means at least one person in the relationship is married. But what the original question is talking about is premarital and (I'm assuming) with no thought to any kind of payment. Your verse did mention marriage is honorable, but it said nothing at all about premarriage. If you could address that, please, I'd like to hear your thoughts.
Quote
Mariage is honorable in all, and the bed vndefiled: but whoremongers, and adulterers God will iudge.
Marriage is the ONLY honorable institution where sex can take place. Outside of a holy union of a Man and a Woman it is debaucherous fornication which is a sin. God will judge those who indulge in pre-marital sex just as he judges whoremongers and adulterers. This is what this passage means.

Earlier this morning, a couple pages ago, I brought this up. Looking back, there are no question marks there. Mea Culpa. But we can fix that right now. How does Hebrews 13:4 (which you brought up and I'm using your quote text for) deal with premarital sex?

Whoremongering is actually the chasing or use of whores.  This does not detract from or change the original question or point in any fashion.

That's not what it says. It says the marriage bed is honorably in all. If you're married to each other, go nuts. It says whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. So buying and selling sex is out. As is cheating on one's spouse. It doesn't say a damn thing about sex where two people aren't married and who aren't paying. Marriage is honorable in all. Not Only marriage is honorable. Stop putting words in God's mouth.

Hold up. Are you implying that we drove your child into drugs and premarital sex? Direct question and I want a direct answer right fast.

There are two (2) direct questions in the quote above.  This was posted prior to your last return to the threads.  I expect that these will be answered in some fashion.

According to board rules, which you are expected to know prior to posting, when asked a direct question, you must answer.  While you may not have actually read the board rules (nor the bible, if your current postings are any indication), this rule has now been pointed out at least three (3) times for you.

I require answers to these questions, and I am completely open in the fact that I am attempting to nail you down on a few things prior to debating you in earnest (namely, whether you are for real or if you are just a troll who thinks they are clever).

The rule as you are speaking of states:

Quote
Address the points given by others in as civil a manner as you can (i.e. with a minimum of flaming).
Address questions given to you, either by answering them or saying why you won't (such as "I don't know," "I'm not comfortable answering that," "it's personal and I don't feel it's your business," etc.).

Which he has violated as well as a few other rules.

These are the "don't be a dick" rules:

Quote
Don't be a dick.

    Do not make personal attacks outside of Flame & Burn.
    Do not make racist, sexist, or other attacks against a person's genetic or formative traits, or for their creed or beliefs.
    Keep name-calling to a minimum outside Flame & Burn.
    Do not make accusations about another person and call them facts without being able to back it up.
    Do not make a second account.
    Do not share your account.
    Address the points given by others in as civil a manner as you can (i.e. with a minimum of flaming).
    Address questions given to you, either by answering them or saying why you won't (such as "I don't know," "I'm not comfortable answering that," "it's personal and I don't feel it's your business," etc.).
    Do not persist on a point or question that another has said they won't address.
    Do not flame someone for ignorance on a topic or about another person's actions or posting habits.
    Do not make posts, or start a thread, with the intent to bait someone into a potentially rules violating response.
    If a discussion is spiralling out of control or rapidly derailing, either start a new thread on the topic (in Flame & Burn if necessary) or use PMs.
    Do not bring outside arguments with other users to the forum.
    When making a post, make sure to give an explanation or description of linked content, and to provide your own thoughts on said linked content. (Simply saying "Discuss," or similar is not acceptable, but asking for clarification on the content is permissible.)

Looking back on the thread, he has violated at least 8 of these rules. As for now, I can either move this to F&B, P&W or just lock the thread.

So here is a problem for you. Which came first, the chicken or the egg. Now considering that the egg needs to be kept warm. And the parents have to take car of it. You know that the chicken has to be first. Which poses a huge problem for evolution. Because if the first chicken was born without an egg. Then why did reproduction using eggs start? Because survival of the fittest doe not apply because eggs can be eaten by other animals. And natural selection does not make sense about eggs. Through what process were eggs determined the better way? And why would egg reproduction start anyway? -ikester7579

Yes your Bible and link to the Creation Museum are duly noted.

Now, I am asking you for scientific evidence that Creationism is true. A peer reviewed article or something would be nice.

EDIT: Actually I won't even go that far because no such article exists. How about your own personal (scientific) arguments in favor of Creationism.

Let me clarify this, PastorDave. I want your own personal reasons as to why you support Creationism and disbelieve evolution. That is, without you simply replying with a Bible quote or a general link to the main page of a Creation site.

I'm just looking for specifics here and I find your answers to be vague and overbroad.

Pastor. The Ouroboros is a warning, not a symbol you should accept and make your own.

This is your animal symbol: (http://beacondeacon.com/ichthus.gif) A fish swims forwards, seeking out food and trying to work with the current. It adjusts and can swim.

This is what you actually are acting like: (http://ktismatics.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/ouroboros.jpg) A symbol of unchanging, self consumption. It's a powerful symbol, but a warning as well. A snake is much more powerful when not eating itself.

He made a board that modeled after this one that went by the name of Atheists Say the Scariest Things, but the only ones that even posted on it were a few of us.

In many societies around this planet, women are considered unmarriageable if they are virgins!
One example is the Polynesian where a man cannot wed his lady unless she is pregnant.
In Guam, girls seeking potential mates do their level best to get laid and even advertise for temporary mates to do the job.
Zulu women have to produce an offspring to their future mates to prove they are capable of producing more.
Unfortunately the Church has sought to control our lives from conception to (and often beyond) the grave to maintain their power.
As to the origin of the marriage ceremony itself - this came from the Babylonian heirachy to show their plebicite their new concubines. The ceremony included a 7 day bacchanalian orgy which, for some obscure reason, was omitted from the Abrahamic books.
In any case, people marry each other. The Church is merely a witness.

I'm not sure if that would have worked. Some people do keep claiming that the KJV is the original one.

Then again if you believe that God is omnipotent and omnipresent (and sometimes a dick) then I suppose the fact that KJV version is newer than the hebrew version doesn't really matter.



LOL I gave them dirty jews the wrong version and then went to the future and gave the REAL bible to the british so that they could give it to the americans because they are my true children and blessed nation.

I can guess on how our good pastor got the idea of coming here:

A thread was posted on the 14th that mentioned FSTDT a few posts on (http://evolutionfairytale.com/forum//index.php?showtopic=5271)


Quote
In fact FSDT is dedicated to ripping on religious people... Is there such a thing for ripping on atheists?

Quote
Truth is truth, honesty is honesty and fairness is fairness. And by the way I went over to the FSTDT forums (never been there before but thanks for the "you people"-type remarks) and read a few topics and while there is 4-chan type rudeness that is common anywhere there is not intense censorship, the only "ripping" I saw in my albeit brief sampling was fierce ripping on peoples' ideas, not them personally. Which there is nothing wrong with.

You mustn't have looked very hard at FSTDT, (or not at all) since the entire site is one ad hominem after another, (which by the way are logical fallacies).

I think I saw someone claim once that the reason the KJV Bible is the most accurate English translation, and thus the true word of God, is because they believed God guided the translators into writing a completely-faithful-to-the-original English Bible.

OK, then why can't it be assumed that that every time someone re-translates the Bible, they're guided by God? Because the KJV sounds prettier? God speaks only in Elizabethan now?
