Dear Hugiboo (et. al):
Why can't you reply to MY thread? (Look it up!) I USE MY REAL NAME--and real
grammar, you wimp(s)!
I know the Bible prohibits out-of-wedlock relations--Though non-practicing,
I
retain some of my Catholic influences (and arguments), and I have come to
augment them with REASONING!
Oddly enough, however, the Bible also condemns men passing judgment.
So, here's looking at you. :>)
I mean no harm, just want a discourse.
Harris

Christians have not existed for over 2000 years.
Sex outside of marriage is not prohibited Biblically. That some
Christians believe that sex outside of marriage is wrong just shows
that they do not follow the Bible.
When is it you think Christianity started? And how would you explain
the many sources that say that Christians have existed for over 2000
years? The Bible is not God. Christians do not simply follow the
Bible, they follow God. The Bible is God's word, so we use it as a
rule of faith, but the Bible is not the only thing necessary for a
Christian. If this were the case, there would not be over 30000
different denominations of Christians (among the Christians who think
the Bible is all that is necessary, incidentally).
