Best not to discuss religion in depth on the boards. It's one of the three taboo subjects (along with politics and the Great Pumpkin). I suggest you cut it off now before the mods say something. The Protestant and Catholic interpretations of the Bible are extremely different in spots so youll never end up agreeing on this.
There is nothing wrong with arguing about religion. It's the most important thing in life, so I don't see what's wrong with it. And we are not getting personal. It is calm and under control, a simple discussion.
Religion isn't the most important thing in life for everyone.

What? That quote was written to the Galatians that were still doing the Old Covenant after the New one was Established. So St. Paul wrote that quote in a letter to them to exhort them to adhere to the New Covenant. You can look it up. I don't know, St. Paul may not have felt the need to be more specific since in the days he wrote it there was no other way to interpret it. That verse applies only to those that are not adhering to the New Covenant. It doesn't apply to me because I adhere to the New Covenant like I said.
Another thing. 2 Timothy 3:16-17. We don't need to add things, Paul says everything we need to know is in the Scriptures.
And nobody reading the Bible would have thought of Easter if it weren't for the pagan holidays. They mixed all the pagan holidays and made them "Christian". The first Sunday after the first full moon after the Spring Equinox? Ever wondered where that came from? Or the ideas of eggs and rabbits? They are all pagan things that the Church dubbed "Christian". Paul says in Galatians that we shouldn't observe holidays and seasons and years. That was done in the old covenant, we don't need to observe those things, holidays, the idea that you could keep a day holy (e.g. the Sabbath) is something from the Old Covenant. And (nothing personal here) but Roman Catholics have priests and censors and vestments and all of these things, which were things of the Old Covenant.
I thought eggs and rabbits were related to Easter because of the idea of rebirth.
Rabbits= have lots of offspring Eggs= new animals hatch from them

Well I posted an idea in detail on Brimstone's topic, but it's very complex. I can repost it here or you can look there, but not sure if you'll know how to do it.
Ah, you think a Bible verse doesn't apply to you! Paul seemed disgusted with the idea of keeping "holidays" and festivals and such.
Guys guys guys

I didn't know there were three official taboo subjects.
And I have had one polite semi-political debate (it was a political debate revolving arouns Star Wars that deteriorated into just a Star Wars debate) on here that the mods didn't intervene with, and one that was shut down by the mods before it even really started.
And "The Great Pumpkin"? Is that what we call that subject?

Anyone want to write a Star Wars story or series I could contribute concepts/ideas to? Because I'd like to do that, but I have a lot of writing projects I'm working on ATM, and don't wanna do the actual writing.
If not, we can just discuss how incredibly lazy I am.
Hmm... What idea would you want to base it upon?
Oh, I don't know. Whatever type of story the person is interested in writing I could give some ideas towards.
Mods, why does it take so long for posts to show up? I can see that a lot of people have posted, but I can't see the actual posts for hours later.
It's just the way moderation works here. Unlike the MBs, moderation is not built-in; it's a plugin. Posts say that they are up when they are submitted, not when they are approved.
Ah. That's weird... Thanks for clearing it up, though.

Sometimes it can be reeeeaaally weird. Like this is your only post from today I can see, the others haven't shown up yet, though they should have gotten through moderation at about the same time.

Yup, a very good movie indeed. What I meant was that (slight spoiler hints incoming) I'll never get over what happened at the ending. It's so heartbreaking and perfectly shot. And the shot where the cross is rotated to form an "X".
Definitely a sad ending. But the X was amazing.
EVERY time I see the cross to an X scene I want to cry, despite seeing it over a 100 times.

I'm ALWAYS up for an intense Star Wars discussion.
Bring it on!
Alrighty!
*tries to think of topic*
Do bald alien Jedi Padawans have to wear artificial versions of those dumb braid things? What do you think Phasma looks like? Is she human? Are the Guardians of the Whills full light side, or balanced? If they still exist, does Luke want to end them as well?
Well, Ahsoka did, so I'll say yes.
I think Phasma is human, but she might be severely injured or... actually, now that I think about it, I really want her to be a cyborg for some reason.
I think they are balanced, I think Baze and Chirrut were the last of the true Guardians, and I think Luke wants himself and Rey to become something like the Guardians, instead of the traditional idea of being a Jedi.
Interesting topics! Here's a couple topics of my own to throw into to mix:
Do you think Boba Fett is still alive, and if so, in what media do you think that will be 100% confirmed (It was already hinted at).
What do you expect will happen in the Han Solo movie?
Why is blue milk blue?

OMG OMG OMG I JUST REALIZED NOW THAT WE HAVE 7 DAYS LEFT UNTIL GOTG VOL 2 IS OUT (6 DAYS LEFT FOR THE ADVANCED SCREENING)! SO EXCITED!
Dang, really? It came so fast!
Um, that is false. It comes out May 5th, so that means Thursday May 4th at 7:00 EST in the USA. No idea where he got 7 days:S. That's more than 2 weeks.
