What is something the Bible codemns that you do anyway?

The Bible alone idea is kind of self-destructive seeing as Bible alone isn't Biblical. lol Makes perfect sense.

Before I respond to that, let me ask you what your alternative to that notion is?

Asking people what sins they gladly engage in is mocking.

I disagree. And I don't think that Chris' intention was to "mock" sin, so much as find out just how "sinful" the people who frequent these boards are, and just how open they are about admitting them.

If you admit to "indulging" in a sin, you likely don't view it as a sin. And people who don't view something as a sin tend to enjoy mocking those who do. It's a mockfest. Don't worry. I don't let it bug me.

Oh Jesus tittyfucking Christ, just answer the goddamn question! YOU already decided to take the this "off topic" when you decided to bring up "bible alone theology" and accuse people on here of mocking sin. Now that I've questioned your theology and am asking you to explain your position, suddenly the thread going off-topic is of major concern to you?

Fair enough. I'll give you that one. I just wanted to make sure you weren't implicating Chris. Now back to your "bible only" interjection. WHAT exactly do you mean by that and what is the biblically "correct" way (according to you).

My comments weren't off topic since they were on the topic of sin.

The Bible is the biblically correct way but saying that something isn't a sin because it isn't explicitly stated word for word in the Bible, IMO, is incorrect, since the Bible itself makes no mention of "Bible alone" theology. That's all.

BTW: I'd add taking the Lord's name in vain to your list.

Forgiveness Man wrote:I don't see how you get B. Just because people can find it doesn't mean they will. Plenty of people claim to go off of Bible alone. (Although, I'd argue, even they don't. )
