It's a long process. And it takes dedication and time to understand God's word. Some verses are easier understood than others but that doesnt mean they dont take meditation or thought.

ok, point taken @Osha19 but it is still evidence for my argument, following the word or god, not what has been infered by wiser men before me

@Eagle aight I'm ready who we helping

Chaz have you taken time to meditate and properly read the bible and those verses you use to counter?

@(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ Hug god ♥

^^

Have you thought deeper into their meanings?

There is no possible way you can tell someone, who dedicates hours of time to meditating on the bible, that they misunderstand what the verse(s) is trying to convey.

I'm just gonna cite that europe fought it's most catastrophic war over doing exataly that

> @(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ Hug god ♥ Find a church that accepts you and, if it matters to you, accepts everyone. Because that’s what Christianity should be; that’s what Jesus wanted🤘🏼.
@Eagle But not just any church, it must be a biblically accurate one. There are many that are not. Such as ones that are basically “Hey, you’re awesome and God will make you happy, rich, and healthy”

but yeah, christianity is super cool

Zoroastrianism isnt a denomination of christianity?

and socratic morals are good

Christianity isnt based off Socrates philosophies!

@CoolGuard @(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ Hug god ♥ yes I completely agree sir. Definitely find a church that bases it’s teachings and sermons off of verses. The Bible is the foundation for our faith.

And Jesus of course!

God never said life would be easy. He said it would be hard, that we would face trials and tribulations

@Osha19 Zoroastrianism is a good 1500 years older than christ, and no, but it has the same moral ideas and ideals

Older than Christ?

ofc its older than christ

@CoolGuard yes my point was to find a church that wouldn’t necessarily preach everything is easy, but instead be accepting and not push someone away for sinning. Being accepting is not the same as misconstruing life to be easy,

Chaz you say you will be open minded but you refute every bits of evidence we give you on numerous levels. because it simply doesnt fit your beliefs. Evidence is NOT something that changes from person to person. It isnt something you infer. There is hard evidence to a lot of the things we argue. But again you refute it all asking for proper evidence. What we give you is proper evidence. You still reject it. This gets tiring and shows that you do not wish to have an open mind on a lot of things. This leads to poor conversations and debates that lead no where.

@Eagle i'm not christian but amen

@Osha19 would you like more bible lines that prove my point?

> also check out zoroastrianism for christian lite
If something is “Christian but-“ then that’s not. Christianity is such that it is only compatible with Christ.

Have you spent hours properly meditated in them? or have you just read them and interpreted them to fit your own beliefs?

I read the literal definintion of the words presented

That is not meditating on the verse and that is an inaccurate interpretation of what the verse is trying to convey than

@chaz @Osha19 you both are right.

Not completely

But points of your arguments are right

@chaz the Leviticus verse for example

Means exactly what you think it does

Eagle you cannot take a verse in the bible and just get a definition from words definitions. Its not a cut clear book.

Homosexuality is a sin.

Based on the teachings of Christianity for thousands of years

But

Jesus preached that all of us sin

For example

Your sin carries as much weight in God’s eyes as a gay man’s
