Did a little Googling of Mr. Adam Smith. Both the Vante and Eller School of Business web sites where this tool "teaches" are "down for maintenance". Apparently after Mr. Smith posted this to YouTube it almost immediately began getting negative reaction so he tried to pull it, but alas it had already gone viral. I hope his bosses are really happy with the notoriety he has brought there way.

 

The guy got fired after his video went viral. What's that old saying? Better to remain silent and be thought a fool then to speak out and remove all doubt.

I was taught that God's intention of sex is for reproduction only so wouldn't having sex for recreation even though you're married be a sin if we are talking 'God's intention?'

 

 

Who taught you that?

2 things from this thread.

 

1 - I don't think anyone is shocked by Mr Christy's stance but the amount of "outrage" is a bit extreme.

 

2 - I sin A LOT!!!

So you're friends with Betty?

It would be outside what God intends, which is one man & one woman (Genesis 2). The Bible uses marriage as an illustration of Christ's relationship to the church (the church is called the bride of Christ, for example). The Bible also instructs us to keep the marriage bed pure (somewhere in the book of Hebrews). So the plan is one man, one woman, one lifetime.

 

Of course, humans eventually went their own way, so when Moses comes along & God gives the Law, there is an allowance for divorce in there. If a husband found there to be something indecent about his wife, he could write her a bill of divorce. Something "indecent" meant unfaithfulness, but humans watered that down over time.

 

A handful watered marriage down even more when they took multiple wives. King Solomon was the main man involved in doing this, along with some other Israelite kings. They did this for political purposes & God seemed to overlook it in Solomon's case. But in the New Testament Jesus & the New Testament writers restored the original ideal of one man, one woman, one lifetime.

 

Sorry for the Sunday School lesson, but that's the best way I can answer.

Thank you for the answer. Informative.

 

One other quick question, does this make pornography a sin from a viewer standpoint?

The wife is not...

Thank you for the answer. Informative.

 

One other quick question, does this make pornography a sin from a viewer standpoint?

 

Yes. I don't see how it could be anything but that, especially when Jesus stated that adultery wasn't just an act, but the thought that led to the act. He said that thinking about someone sexually is the same as actually being with them sexually.

 

And after he said that, I'm sure there was a collective, predominantly male groan in his audience.

What is pornography?

...so if it's just for "educational purposes".

What is pornography?

 

I can't provide you with a definition of what it is, but I know it when I see it.

What are those anti gay groups? Do they do anything other than being anti gay? Have you reviewed their 990 forms?

 

No. The Internet told me.

Who taught you that?

 

I can't remember. I spent my childhood in a Catholic school M-F, Catholic church on Saturday night and Baptist church Sunday morning. Actively involved in all three as an altar boy, had first communion, confirmation, CYO, Wednesday night service and sang in the choir. I'm sure that belief I posted came from someone from my youth.

TB&G posted it about 3-4 pages ago and it sparked another 2-3 pages of discussion.

 

I'm telling you...whoever started this thread is a genius. Should probably get an award or something(in our case a tee shirt maybe) Call it a Preppy or something you know? Greatest Thread of the Year Award. Best Poster of the Year. Kind of like the Oscars or Grammys. The Preppys. Whoever started this thread would get my vote. Freaking genius. Mensa.

 

 

Just don't give him any silly math riddles. Could be his kryptonite.

So I went to Florence today with the goal of a)getting a grilled chicken sandwich and b)seeing if the kissing was going on. Parking lot prevented me from even coming close.

I'm sure FKY can guarantee beyond a shadow of the doubt that all of the customers were liberal Democrats.
