So by having a New Covenant. It makes the Old Testament (which includes Leviticus 18:22) is superseded by God himself in the form of Jesus and is therefore null and void?

I have no objections to civil partnerships, but since we have been examining God’s Word so intently tonight, marriage is between one man and one woman. Anything else isn’t marriage. You might call it civil partnership, fine. But it’s not marriage.

The book allows for grey areas. It's not a black and white morality, from my reading of it.

Jesus fulfilled the Old Covenant, He did not render it null and void

Fulfilling it does make it null and void because it no longer applies.

I wouldn't force churches to have same-sex marriages but I think it's right for it to exist through secular means (registry office).

It shows human beings to be a work in progress in my view.

No if it was null and void He would not have Instructed us to follow God’s Commandments.

I agree with you.

This is my issue. Grey areas; there's too much of that that makes it the word of the Lord. I don't object to people being Christian - I just don't see any convincing evidence for a God and that doesn't make me atheist, I just don't know what the source of existence is. But use of interpretations to subjugate others is wrong.

Well, you are in the dark like I was for many years. I was a bad person and still am a bad person. But it allows you to forgive yourself and others.

Nor do I object to your faith. I just see no reason to believe God exists. I feel there's more to the source of all existence than we can ever understand.

Maybe not 'ever.'

Though religion and the ability to forgive are not mutually exclusive to my mind.

That's what it's all about, as, the song says.

Lol.

Bradley, don’t you agree that sounds like God? We can never under and the source of all existence - God - but there is a source. Call it God or Intelligent Design but we were created, not a coincidence or a consequence of something born of nothing?

I am in no way qualified enough to even hazard a guess.

I even forgave Adolf Hitler and Osama Bin Laden.

I see the point in that. They're dead, history can't change and only looking forward, while learning from the past, helps.

No they are not dead at all. Ye must be born again.. John 3.16 points to the possibility of reincarnation.. Not sure if Jayda fransen would agree, and I know my pastor father doesn't. But Carl Jung, who considered himself a Christian did believe in reincarnation. But that doesn't mean hell does not exist either. I largely arrived at Christianity thru Carl Jung.
