Theology 201 Guidelines
This is the forum to discuss the spectrum of views within Christianity on God's foreknowledge and election such as Calvinism, Arminianism, Molinism, Open Theism, Process Theism, Restrictivism, and Inclusivism, Christian Universalism and what these all are about anyway. Who is saved and when is/was their salvation certain? How does God exercise His sovereignty and how powerful is He? Is God timeless and immutable? Does a triune God help better understand God's love for mankind?
While this area is for the discussion of these doctrines within historic Christianity, all theists interested in discussing these areas within the presuppositions of and respect for the Christian framework are welcome to participate here. This is not the area for debate between nontheists and theists, additionally, there may be some topics that within the Moderator's discretion fall so outside the bounds of mainstream evangelical doctrine that may be more appropriately placed within Comparative Religions 101 Nontheists seeking only theistic participation only in a manner that does not seek to undermine the faith of others are also welcome - but we ask that Moderator approval be obtained beforehand.
Atheists are welcome to discuss and debate these issues in the Apologetics 301 or General Theistics 101 forum without such restrictions. Theists who wish to discuss these issues outside the parameters of orthodox Christian doctrine are invited to Unorthodox Theology 201.
Remember, our forum rules apply here as well. If you haven't read them now would be a good time.

Did Jesus have sexual desires?

Originally posted by Sparko View Postfriendship. Shared interests. But there is no "attraction" to them as I was using the word. I am speaking of sexual attraction and you know it. There is a desire in you for the opposite sex. You are attracted to women and when you see one that fits your idea of beauty or other criteria, you want to get to know her, to date her, maybe even eventually to marry her if you fall in love. Or you can feel that attraction and decide "no, I am not ready for a relationship, so I will be celibate and not seek out a girlfriend"
And that drive, that attraction is different from what you feel for your male friends. Because it is a SEXUAL drive.
At this point you are evading and dodging pretty consistently, and trying to deflect everything back at me that I bring up to get you to see what I am saying. That pretty much tells me that you know you are wrong but won't admit it. Thanks for playing.

You prove with every dodge that you know you are wrong. Just admit it already.

My job is done here. Your ad homs and deflections show you do not have an answer and yet do not want to admit you are wrong. So you are acting like a child.
If that is what you want then: "neener, neener. you lose, you loser!"

Originally posted by Sparko View PostOK you seem really "retarded" when it comes to sex or romance. I don't mean "stupid" I mean "held back, naive, uneducated" and I am wasting my time with you. I have explained myself clearly and everyone reading this thread understands what I said, and actually agrees with me. So I am not going to bother with your nonsense any longer if you won't deal with the issue in an adult manner and even attempt to understand what others including me have been saying. Not. Worth. My. Time. buh-bye.Last edited by KingsGambit; 05-18-2016, 06:46 PM.

Originally posted by Darfius View Post"Everyone agrees with me" being your measure of truth validates my claims about the atmosphere here pretty splendidly. Just a reminder, you are supposed to try and become like Jesus, not make Him more like you to feel better about being • Edited by a Moderator • Carry on.Last edited by KingsGambit; 05-18-2016, 06:47 PM.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
