Goverment*
True
Are there any Bible verses proving my point
Maybe abt free will perhaps?
The bible does say you can not listen to the government if they trying to take your reilgon away
Proverbs 31:8-9
This does
kinda
True. But I’m talking abt losing jobs
“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.”
That’s good. Then he’s gonna say that conservatives are being treated completely fairly
Oh well
So verses about how talking about one's belief shouldn't cause them to lose their job?
Ig you can never rly win with a lib can you
That and just that freedom of speech is a God given right
The bible says the rich shall give to the poor, but it also saying you shouldn't force them its their choice and God will judge them
I mean God gave us mouths so
Nice come back 😆
Lol facts
Ok. Thanks y’all. This is prolly enough to argue with
Nazareth sounds so badass
Here’s a verse that I always view when I’m sad. I’m sure that it can cheer you guys up too: Do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Quran 39:53
mashallah
didn't mohammed just make allah up?
idk man i wouldn't trust someone that married and raped children but that's just me, you do you though.
And then there's the whole thing about killing anyone who doesn't believe in allah
@JT Schmidt (AR) an additional point to make could relate back to why we have free will. God doesn't want robots, He wants us to be able to make decisions and choose to love Him.
But with free will, man will inevitably choose to do wrong, and society gets corrupted (look to the days of Noah, and of Lot, for example). So if we were not within the right to speak what we want, a corrupted society could easily ban Christianity's teachings and words, making so we can't share the Gospel, which Jesus commanded us to do.
In fact, that's what happened in Jesus' day. The Apostles were all hunted down and killed (besides 1, who was exiled on an island) for what they were teaching/saying. If God didn't give us the right to speak what we want, then why would He have told the Apostles and others to share the word of Jesus when teaching it could get them killed?
A point could be made about that being different because it's a command from God, so that it doesn't count. But look back again to the time of Jesus. When Jesus was spoken against, He didn't tell them not to speak as such, He instead talked about God, verses in the Bible, and who He was and what He was there to do (along with a few others).
Holy crap.
Dude thanks so much
The only times *(that I remember off the top of head, at least, I may be wrong)* where words caused consequences were either because of them being disrespectful to parents, authority, and God Himself
True
At least I think thts true
Dang @CoolGuard you have a lot of biblical knowledge. I look up to you
Thanks, but I'm a sinful man like everyone else. And I don't read the Bible or pray nearly as much as I should. I give credit for anything like that which I say to the Holy Spirit.
Don't look up to me, look up to God, without Him I'm nothing. *(also literally because He created me and everything else, so without Him I wouldn't exist :) )*
Do you go to church?
I was before the Corona lock downs
Ahh. Where at? If I may ask
I was going to a United Methodist church, but I'm not sure I really agree with all of it, so I was recently looking into to Independent Baptist churches to maybe try
2 main problems I had was that I actually can't name a time the pastor preached about sin at all other than the "we're all sinners." and when asked a question about gay marriage, it seemed like he went out of his way to not give a direct answer, which as a pastor he should
I’m part of a system of churches around the world. We’re kinda Christianity but a different “branch” of it ig. It was formed in the 70s or 80s when a few ppl from a traditional church of Christ started seeing that not all of their teaching were from the Bible. So they started a meeting church that values certain things more and is a bit different.
