"wrong reasons" being the operative term there.

well hell finti, give him the answer before he can think of it. Shit, who's side are you on?
😂 I didnt want him to start stuttering

we Christians serve others, not ourselves for Jesus command us to do this to all people believers or not.

and your so called reward for that is?

when Jesus comes back he has many rewards with him for anything good we have done. We don't do it for rewards, but only for jesus.

if you just did it for jesus you then comming to heaven or not aint all that important then

not exactly that is the final reward.

well if there is a reward then that is the motivation

in some ways yes.

then

I guess we all are more or less self serving
still stands

homosexuality is called a sin that is sadly true, but you know what's funny is that the church breaks that rule too I mean when priest go around ****ing little boys I'd call that a sin and illegal, homosexuals are now being picked on becuase some damn book says that it's wrong.. urg pisses me off everytime I think about it, but yes homosexuality is considered a sin in the eyes of a church that is corrupt.

wouldnt compare that of pedophilia to homosexuality though

Yes, it is wrong to generalise in such a fashion, a misconception that insults a group of people who are doing nothing what so ever wrong. Plenty of heterosexual people commit acts of child abuse and so forth, but that doesn't ever seem to lead to people condemning straight people. Although there is something to be said for the Church to avoid throwing stone in glass houses.

And as to the whole living for Jesus thing, I have always wondered what happened to the people before Jesus? What happened to all the people who didn't know to repent before the Catholic faith popped up?

Motivation for every Christian...

You can live like the devil as long as you believe...taking heaven away from earth and making it in the sky.

That would be very strange if that happened. It would go like this, so God created the heavens and the earth and so God said to Adam, it isn't good for you to be alone so God created another man and Adam named him Steve for he is just like me. the end

It wouldn't suprise me.With as much as woman where supressed during the reformation,i'm suprised they didn't make being datory.It does say in the Bible that it is good for a man to have nothing to do with a woman.

some do have it genetically. but some don't and are fat for no reason and don't exercise like they should. gluttony is fat for it says in the bible. he will eventually if don't do what is right. he will give them time to do what is right or he has no choice but to punish. these people have choices to be fat or not and some want to be and some don't.

So since gluttony is a sin,does that me if a fat person repents, God will magicly make them skinny like he makes gay people straight?I think not.Will all fat people go to hell now because they didn't manage to lose weight?this couldn't apply to the gays and not apply to the overweight.

I wanted 2 know what yall thought about gay people. (An no I'm not gay I just have no problems)

I think its a sin.

"Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve"

yeah but too bad Adam and Eve never even existed, creationism is wrong in so many ways, Evoloution makes perfect sense, creationism is just a glorified fairy tale

wouldnt compare that of pedophilia to homosexuality though

sorry about that I didn't mean to come across like that 😮 no I got angry and started typing what first came into my head, withouth thinking.

Hey everyone and once again thanks for all of your opinions when I started this thread I had no idea how much attention I would receive thanks for all of your IM's and please continue to disscuss what you feel.
