Re: Top Ten Reasons Why GAY MARRIAGE is WRONG!

If God gives us guidance and free will, why did he harden Pharaoh's heart and then punish him for it in Exodus?

Friend, making a man, a man is a gift. Could you imagine if you were a man? Then to waste that gift? Why, come to think of it, that is exactly what Homosexualers do! Interesting, don't you think?

But it does. Just not the answer you wanted to hear.

See friend, when the Devil has started you on the path to damnation, the Truth(r) hurts. You can get God to remove the pain, all you need to do is give yourself to Him.
Praise His Glory!

How do I know you're not the devil trying to recruit me to your cause by posing as a servant of God?

And also, that does not answer why God hardened Pharaoh's heart and then punished him for it

You could ask Him but you will not. Even if God would speak to you, you'd never listen. I guess you are like Moses in a river then, aren't you?

And also, that does not answer why God hardened Pharaoh's heart and then punished him for it

Friend, stuttering is unattractive. The answer never changes, why repeat the question?

Does this make you happy? Here, we see everyone gets a prize!
1 Samuel 6:6
Wherefore then do ye harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? when he had wrought wonderfully among them, did they not let the people go, and they departed?

About 10 years ago I was being told that God was speaking to me, but I never heard the *******. Fact is, you don't have a good and relevant answer to either of those questions that doesn't involve conceding defeat.

I do have the answers, as do you. I can tolerate you trolls only so much.

In a nutshell (you should be able to relate) The Pharaoh was evil. God hurt him by hardening his heart and then punished him for being heartless, so to speak.

Now toddle off. This is not a debate forum. It is for praisie the Perfection of Jesus. Go eat your checkers. We play chess.

Re: Top Ten Reasons Why GAY MARRIAGE is WRONG!

Well why didn't God cut out the middleman and just punish him? Seems a bit unnecessary and sadistic, especially as God's supposed to be all about forgiveness

Look to the fruits of the Good Brother's labors, dear. You'll see naught but the Holy Spirit shining through his every movement.

A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Matthew 7:18-20

And also, that does not answer why God hardened Pharaoh's heart and then punished him for it

For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up,
that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy,
and whom he will he hardeneth
Romans 9:17-18

God showed His Glory through this event, and in turn, many people have been Saved. From a fallible, sinner's perspective, it seems wrong for God to harden a person and then punish the person He has hardened. Biblically speaking, however, rebellion against God is something each of us was born to do (Romans 3:23), and the just penalty for that rebellion is death (Romans 6:23). Therefore, God’s hardening and punishing a person is not unjust; it is actually merciful in comparison to what the person deserves.

Obviously, people were not reading thier Bibles. What better way than to 'lead by example'?
Where does the Bible say God is 'all about forgiveness'? I thin you need to stop taking the pot, friend!

Re: Top Ten Reasons Why GAY MARRIAGE is WRONG!

I understand perfectly well that Pharaoh needed to be punished, but why the hardening business? Seems to me that was just an insurance policy in case the Pharaoh said yes and God didn't get to do any slaughtering

So why ask the question. See friend, your type is exactly the type God complains about and asks us to cull.

2 Corinthians 11:13-15
13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.


What makes you people think you know better than God. Had God done it different, then you'd probably complain about that.

A riddle wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a mystery wrapped in a punchline.

Actually, just an atheist who wonders how so many who call themselves "Christian" get it so very, very wrong.

Very simple. Many so called 'Christians' buy into that fluffy bunny 'God loves everyone, no matter what' mentality. What can you expect from people who read a 'edited for content' Bible.
We know you love Jesus, or else you would not of stuck around so long. All the rest of your cult suffer melt downs then run scared from the Love of God. You'll repent, one day. Mark my words.

Honestly, who cares what you think? It's what JESUS thinks that counts, not your drunken scottish ramblings. Do you fancy that you know more than God? I think not.

Isaiah 55:8-9: For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
