Bible Note: Hank said: “The plain truth of the matter is that you are looking for, and perhaps think you have found, ways to explain away what Scripture clearly states “ This is completely untrue. I was brought up believing as I was told: that the Bible is against it. I accepted that it was wrong, however I never understood why. And it was only after deeply studying the issue, mostly through reading the bible trying to find out what it actually says about it, that I came to the conclusions I now have. I started with the conviction that it was wrong and I was looking for the proof and found none. Why is it that the position against it always comes to “The Bible clearly says...”. Like somehow I have to just take your word for it that it's clear. When the reason I don't think it is is because I could not find the proof I wanted to find. I could not find the reason why. If it were really as bad as it's made out to be, the reason should be clear. (kinda like with murder or thievery) Anyways, I don't want a heated debate about this. I was merely sharing my beliefs on the subject. Or is that not allowed? |
