WP4 intro

Why do Christians treat sins such as adultery, abortion, and divorce different than homosexuality. How come homosexuality is held up to such a higher standard than other sins? The bible clearly states that they are all equally a sin. However, many christians get around the sins, for example divorce. Matthew 5:32 says"But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery."  The dominant view of divorce among Christians today is that it is not preferable, but that it is allowed. However, most Christians do not demand that remarried divorcees repent of their adultery and end their sinful and immoral behavior. Most do not cry out through political punditry that remarried divorcees are a threat to the institution of marriage and the family values of our nation. Christian politicians are not lobbying for legislation or constitutional amendments against divorce and remarriage. Isn't divorce a significantly more direct and damaging threat to marriage than homosexuality? Isn't God's Old Testament hate of divorce equivalent to His calling homosexuality an abomination? Adultery and homosexuality seem to be equivalent in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, which says "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God."

being rude is gross

Hi my name is Denise Runge and i go to purdue north central and our assignment is to write about a problem we believe we have in society. I believe a problem we have is that people are just plain mean. I don't understand why people have to be so negative towards others and at times for no certain reason. Being mean is not attractive and hurts people. Being mean can affect people in many different ways. Some people just get over it and move on, but others take it personally. The ones who take it personally take it to another level that sometimes ends in suicide. There have been many cases of bullying resulting in suicide. This seems to be a small issue but has gotten worse. No one should feel the need to take there own life because of someone elses hurtful words.
It is said that people say mean things to you to make themselves feel better, and I believe that. People who are mean to others do it for no particular reason. I sometimes see that people are mean to others just when they are around their friends. Trying to please others has a big impact on some people and those people would do anything they think they're "friends" or the people they are trying to fit in with would think is cool.
