Bye, Goddess. Obviously, the OP went over your head. Meh. What more can I say?

READ! Read what you quoted, for crying out loud! I said fall into sin! There are many sins that can condemn us to hell! I added what is taught by Christ! To repent! As a way of correcting the blanket statement of James that all homos are condemned to hell! Don't you understand? Good grief! Why aren't you outraged about adulterers when I raised it up as a MIRROR to James' question? Why do you think I did that? Can you guess? If you're going to engage me....at least, read. Stop trying to reason with your emotions! You're blinded by it, it seems. Keep it in check.

You better read the OP - and try to understand what you read. Btw, speak for yourself. You're giving your own interpretation as to why I created this thread. Cite. Where did I say homosexuals are going straight to hell??

If there is any doubt that Genesis 2 is more than just for mere procreation - Genesis 2 22 And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. 23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. 25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. .......even Jesus referred to it!! Matthew 19 4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, 5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? 6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. Marriage (the union of a male and female), is the "cause" for a man to leave his parents and will cleave to his wife!

Yoooo-hoooooo? Wakey-wakey. I wasn't speaking for Him. I was quoting the words in the Book that He gave to us! Good grief.

I recall how people reacted when soldiers in body bags came home from war, what more when we get the first female casualty? Going off in a place like Mali - it isn't hard to imagine what atrocities they'll be subjected to, should they become POW. These women soldiers ought to be saving the last bullet for themselves - or they should be carrying cyanide pills. NEVER GET CAUGHT ALIVE, should be drummed into their heads!

I'm not God.

Some people said they couldn't help it if they love someone else.....and committed adultery in the process. Why would God create man, so that he can fall in love with someone other than his spouse? Why didn't God create man to be faithful to his spouse? Why would God create man to easily fall into sin.....and then condemn him to hell, if he doesn't repent? Why did God create the sexual act so pleasurable - if it's going to be the pitfall of so many?

No, it's not a contradiction. Yes, I say that the Bible isn't meant to be a science book....but that doesn't mean that just because I'm pointing out science happens to prove some of its statement as facts, that the Bible is therefore, a science book! No, I'm not using it as a science text - not at all! I'm simply pointing to the fact that science shows certain verses in the Bible can be taken literally - that they're supported by science. I'm showing that only the Creator can know details about His creation! Read the snippet that I'm rebutting. My main rebuttal is taken from Genesis itself. I gave a logical responses. You don't have to leave your parents to procreate! Therefore, the creation of male/female is not ONLY for the purpose of procreation! There is more to it than that! It's a marriage, for one - as shown that the woman is referred to as a wife! Check it out. Genesis 2 22 And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. 23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. 25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

Physical performance is important! http://jmvh.org/article/relationship-between-soldiers-service-performance-and-physical-training-volume/ https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/10/151028124001.htm You should read this one below. https://mwi.usma.edu/maintain-standards-physical-fitness-will-always-matter-war/

You're just going to ignore the simple, logical reason why Jesus had to take off His clothes before washing the feet of many disciples? Typical among liberals. Suit yourself.

Who's saying they can't?

Irrelevant!

And if mainstream media had reported how he snubbed the Royals and the delegation of 150 business leaders from Belgium - that would also have an added effect on top of India! If all his prancing around (even in costumes), is supposedly for the sake of trade.......why on earth would he slight them when we're supposed to want to do more trade with other countries?

Well, at least you have an idea how worse it is. Imagine with the standard being lowered - passing the requirement (for women) must be a walk in the park.

Which has got to stop!

He refers to India as his country.

They lowered the standard of physical requirement for women......to accomodate this so-called equality for men and women. Ironic, isn't it? The moron who came up with that - and everyone who bought into it - never even saw the contradiction to this so-called equity.

"Should." IF they pass the SAME STANDARD that's required from men! After all, the hazzards of war does not discriminate! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_combat That's the problem, isn't it? Why is it a different set of standard for women? What happened to equity?

And? Is there something wrong with women joining the fight to protect their own? Would they want ISIS to win and take over? Wouldn't you do the same? "I conducted a survey of around 150 combatants, both men and women. Many of the women, when you'd ask them why they joined, they would sometimes tell you, 'Well, it was because of the Islamic State taking over parts of Iraq and Syria.' And so they were fighting to defend their homelands. http://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2017/06/26/kurdish-women-fight-isis They're not the first, and they wouldn't be the last women warriors to come out to defend their homeland in any way or form! It's a different story when you're defending your homeland in a siege. Anyway, you're missing the point. Sure, any woman can decide to fight - I'm not saying there aren't any. I'm talking about soldiers - real soldiers who work together as a team! When you're part of a platoon! The standard for physical requirements is there for a reason! Someone's life may depend on you.

Weren't they wearing long robes in those days? Use your imagination: In a positive way - with some common sense thrown in. Stop right there. Let's not mesh sexual fantasies with the discussion! http://www.bible-history.com/links.php?cat=39&sub=464&cat_name=Manners+%26+Customs&subcat_name=Men's+Clothing What's wrong with taking it off before you kneel down and start washing the feet of many disciples? Wearing something long, gets in the way, not to mention of it getting wet! Go ahead - try it yourself. Men taking off their clothes in the presence of other men, you automatically associate that with homosexuality too? Boy.....if we go with that kind of thinking - all these male athletes must be all homosexuals since they take showers and parade naked in their bunker rooms!

Nostalgia. Not the uptown funk.....but the old stars are. Glad they put the titles of the movies. The guy(s) who put this together is awesome.

You have to choose where to send women, too.....and, where not to send them. Is it practical to send them to places that look down on women? Like Mali? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_combat It's bad enough to be regarded that way as a woman.....what more, when you come from the west. http://www.newsweek.com/terrorism-africa-mali-al-qaeda-668803
