It ultimately boils down to a question of does one believe the Bible to be true or not?
You, SoConPubbie, and in essence parroted by Tax-Chick and Manc, replied: "Stupid question."
I beg to disagree.
Reformation Fan's question cuts straight to the issue at hand and is the core question which must be answered -- by Christians and non-Christians alike.
Sadly too many who call themselves "Christians" yet pick and choose what they want to believe about the Bible, essentially create a god in their image, instead of worshiping the God of the Bible who created us all in His image.
The penchant for creating god in one's own image is part and parcel of evolutionary dogma where man creates himself from slime and evolves into the glimmering self-important godless egotist he becomes.
I contend that this same evolutionary dogma is at the foundation of what is to be found leading to this present day societal reversal which in turn is leading us to a redefining of "marriage" not how God established it but how man chooses to manipulate the term "marriage." Man does this to serve his own lust of convenience, not in any way intended to affirm how God Himself both ordained and designed the institution to be a reflection of His relationship to the Church.
Again sadly there are too many Christians beguiled into a functional infidelity with Christ, who have bought the lie that society's social "scientists" have won the evolutionary argument and they meekly knuckle under to a redefining of "love thy neighbor" as merely "go along to get along" without standing for the Truth found in the Word of God -- even as we are commanded to do in Ephesians 6.
FReegards!
