Just because someone tells you something is wrong it doesn't mean you believe it is. Christians believe God gave us free will to decide things for ourselves. So basically we believe God did say what is right and wrong but gave us the option to change our views on right and wrong if we wanted.

So basically we believe God did say what is right and wrong but gave us the option to change our views on right and wrong if we wanted.So god tells you what's right and wrong, good and evil, and you're allowed to say, "Nope, I've just decided that indiscriminately killing people is fine, therefore I shouldn't go to hell for it."That certainly is an entirely new way to look at the Bible. I think I like it much more now that I can decide what is true in it and what isn't. I'll start with that funny Jesus walking on water story...
I think this time you've misunderstood. He means to say that with free will, humans can view good and evil differently. Though, Christians believe what the bible says is the truth. Therefore, respective to each human, good and evil are subjective, but relative to christianity it is not.

Just to make sure I'm on the right page: the Bible is the only real truth concerning good and evil, but people may be mistaken or confused about what that truth is, yes?

Some Satanists use the tag to show their self-glorification and don't even believe in Satan whatsoever.That IS what about 98% of Satanists are. The only people that believe in 'satan' and consider themselves 'satanists' are devil worshippers and don't exactly adhere to the basic ideas of satanism. That being surrounding the left hand path which is the opposite of deity worship.

Mmm...And what about the things that the Bible has no official word on?

Talk to 'Dan, then; I'm sure he knows his stuff much more than I do about Satanism, anyways.

Best Admin: jrgp, he's like the forum mom and a pet dog rolled into one.
Got the scripture Levitius 18:22You shalt not lie with a man as a woman(puttting a man in a womans place... woman in a mans place). It is an abomination.Also geo those are good deeds, even with religious they are good deeds. With religion they just are good deeds in the name of a higher being.
