Yeah but you made a blanket statement. "Lust is sinful.. it is a damaging emotion." Why, then, is lust for your wife/husband/anyone a sin?you can lust after your husband or wife.

Fair enough, but I'm forever being told that all humans will sin, we are born sinners and that it's not possible to not sin etc.Uhhh... I think that the line of thinking is that whilst being human and being tempted is perfectly natural and excusable, giving into these temptations is your fault, as at no point are you forced to do so.
Well I think it's less "we're born with sin" and more "it's a statistical impossiblity that we can evade temptation all our lives".Fair enough, but I'm forever being told that all humans will sin, we are born sinners and that it's not possible to not sin etc.
Granted, this is used to further the argument we need to accept Christ, not to support my argument, but still...
Or so you've been told.no sin is victimless they all offend God
God has a plan for her.Yes because SHE in particular is VERY VERY important.
no sin is victimless they all offend God
Prove it.yes because he created us and he loves us
Hahaha. Translation: "I am going to call into question the basis of biological sciences because I don't like it!"no. it is false
Oh really?the evidence is there for God too.
Did you even look at the videos I linked you to?What evidence? Old bones? I heard a great thing the other day. God created adam and eve as adult's who says he did not also create the earth mature?
oh my fucking godthe evidence is there for God too.

SEEE SCIENCE MAKES US TAKE FOR GRANTED IRRATIONAL THINGS TOO. IT IS THE SAME AS RELIGION!... No, Emy. The evidence for it is there, we make judgements based on evidence.
Just because you're wilfully ignorant of something does not modify the fact that it is real.
For example, the bible says that pi is equal to 3, but we really know that pi is irrational.
Do christians use different circles? No. They don't.
Evolution is a fact. Unless you have anything half decent to dispute it other than NO LOL I think I'll side with the peer-reviewed OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE part of the argument.
Were you at KYCK? Or another one? Just out of curiosity...will later on 3 other people are on the net and it will take forever to load and i am about to go to bed cos i have been at Katoomba all weekend for a convention... which was awesome?
Or he got bored and wanted to watch something funny...yes because he created us and he loves us
This is true. it is entirely possible to be a christian as well as an evolutionist (a fact that I think a lot of people tend to forget sometimes).Evolution and God are not mutually exclusive concepts. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar who is misrepresenting everything.
After thinking about this question, I think it may be far deeper reaching in its consequences than you may have expected. Not only that, but there is a huge amount of background knowledge in Christian doctrine that goes into addressing such an issue. As well as this, it has been a debated (as if anything hasn't been) issue over the history of the church. I fear that I will raise more questions than I will answer. Nevertheless lets jump in and have a look at some of the issues we are dealing with.1) If each new soul created by God is an individual, unique and seperate entity to it's parent, how is original sin passed on? I was under the impression that the modern belief is that genetics guide physical and psychological development but has nothing to do with the creation of a transcendant soul which is entirely in God's domain.
This question ties into the doctrine of creation fairly heavily. Opinions vary, but in my brief studies of the doctrine of creation, the issue of Gods conservation of the world come up fairly regularly. That is to say that God created the world (which includes all of reality) and is responsible for it being sustained moment by moment. Without his will to sustain his creation, it would cease to exist - it relies upon him for existence.2) For children born out of wedlock, would not God's actions in creating them make Him an accessory to adultery and bastardry?
While I appreciate your humble gallantry, it should be made abundantly clear that I too am tainted by my own beliefs in some senses. Logic allows us to rise to common ground, but still, our experiences do impact many subconscious beliefs. Again, I would like to re-affirm my inadequacies in tackling topics such as these properly - I feel as though I should have a doctorate in theology to address these topics adequately. Nevertheless, it's all part of the learning experience eh?I'm sure I could have come up with some sort of theological or biblical explanation to explain them, but it would no doubt have been tinged and tainted by my own beliefs, so I was after your interpretations.
