Freddie’s religion

If the Bible is literally the word of God, and God is infallible, then Fred is now in Hell receiving his punishment for homosexual acts. How does that fit with your 'faith'?

Holly I don’t believe in organized religion I do believe their is a loving kind just God who created man just the way he wanted them. I got enough of organized religion as a youth being catholic I had no choice but to participate and repent to a man. I do believe there is one God he created us all we didn’t just evolve. He created us with love not hate. However I don’t believe he is handing out sentences to hell for homosexuality because he created man in the image he wanted them.

I don’t want to push God off on anyone but I do have respect for those that practice within organized religion as long as they don’t try to sway my views on gay men and women and it being an abomination I heard that enough in my youth.

My God teaches me to love everyone we shall not judge others but we do don’t we.

Earlier you said " there is a God one God and heaven and he has a son named Jesus Christ and they are on entity . He died for mans sins"

So clearly you believe in Christianity and clearly you're basing those beliefs on the Bible. So it looks like you're doing what most Christians do when faced with the fact that, in terms of what it teaches, the Bible is full of contradictions. But it's also meant to be the word of God. So how can Christians cherry pick the bits they like and ignore the rest? If the Bible is treated as a kind of non supernatural self help book that's fine, but it's hard to reconcile a belief in supernatural beings with cherry picking. You either believe its the word of God and homosexuality is sinful or you opt for a wishy washy "I'm spiritual" approach. I have more respect for the fire and brimstone believers than I do for the cherry pickers.

I’ll get out my virtual popcorn for this one

I don’t have have denominational beliefs if that what your asking. I pray to the same God as christiians do yes because there is only one God. I just don’t agree with some of their rules when it comes to the New Testament teachings.Which I’m not real familiar with because like I told you I was taught from Old Testament teachings growing up.

You don't agree with the bits you don't like amounts to pick 'n' mix religion. Think about it for a second: the Bible is the word of God ... except when God says something you don't like. Is that it?

I don’t believe what I was taught is what I’m telling you. How could a loving God create a man or Woman with perfection and then turn around and condem them to hell for creating them the very way he wanted them. So What I was taught in the Catholic Church I don’t believe I don’t think homosexuality is a sin. How could it be?

I don’t have denominational beliefs I have my own faith and the pray to the same God as Christians he hears me the same as he does them.God is not a God of fear he is a God of love and compassion.

God created perfection he didn’t creat sin. So no Freddie isn’t in hell and he didn’t need to repent to for being gay. Maybe for other matters between him and God but not that.

Sadly for me Holly, if Freddie didn't confess his sins and accept Jesus into his heart, believing that Jesus died on the cross to save him from those sins, then he will be in hell. I earnestly hope that is not the case. Just as I hope that is not the case for anyone. The critical part is, accepting Jesus, and doing our best to follow Him.

@Chevyman -- I'm asking you if you believe the Bible is the word of God. If so, there are consequences of that, aren't there? You seem to believe in the Bible and believe in the existence of 2 supernatural beings, God and Jesus, but only to the extent that their teachings don't contradict your own personal beliefs. Is that correct?

I’m pushing no one to accept God that’s your buisness between you and him. Just because you don’t believe in him doesn’t make you a bad person. But I do believe he exists and will continue too.The only thing that bothered me is the conversation about Freddie being in hell because he was gay and didn’t repent for his sin. I know this is wrong it’s my opinion and I stand by it. Even against my own family I stand by this subject matter so I got no problem doing it here.

Yes I believe in God and Jesus. Man makes those assumptions they misunderstand the Bible.
