@cazzie Which one of the 10 Commandments say fall in love with the same sex? But whether or not you are in love or not has no bearing on sexual immorality. You do know what the Bible say about that and how it done, being the expert theologian you are?
You know the Bible so well, I am sure you found that one, lurve count don’t make correct anything.
@Darth_Algar The 10 Commandments say nothing about homosexuality. More importantly neither does Jesus Christ.
The 10 Commandments say nothing about sexing up your sister or brother or anyone of any age, and Christ did not either, so I guess you are saying anything not mentioned by Christ or the Commandments has a green light? See how easy it is to make the Bible say anything out of context? But getting back to the question, surely if you know the Bible as well as you seem to claim, does the Bible mention anything about homosexuality and if so, what does your Bible say, and what do the other Bibles say?
@bossob Who’s right and who’s wrong is in the heart of the believer. Discourse in this setting will enlighten no one.
Yeah…..keep believing that and see how that works for you once you stop breathing for good.
@LostInParadise Do you follow everything in the Old Testament?
Maybe you should bone up as to what Covenant those who are Believers of Christ are under, then you would not make such a gaff like that question.
@dabbler The only passages in “The Bible” about homosexuality are in the Old Testament.
I see you were asleep in class too…
@syz Your version of Christianity.
My version is God’s version But you and the rest can duck, dodge and hide all you want. So far no one has reconciled same-sex couples and the Bible and a Christian faith based on Jesus, if so, pull out the scripture and prove me wrong? Oh…..none of you can’t because there is no truth to be found.
SavoirFaire Make your choice, @Hypocrisy_Central.
When you complete those you chose or add those you conveniently skipped over.
@Judi How can you claim to be Christian as you sit there typing in your mixed fiber underwear?
As I said to another, if you have to ask that, then you really do not know the Bible. I can answer but before I know if I am speaking with someone with a house on the Rock, or a house on sand, do you know which Covenant Believers live under and how it differs from that which that rule was made?
@Apparently_Im_The_Grumpy_One I harbor no ill will toward gay people. I think they are wrong but it’s not my place to judge that.
I have no ill-will towards gays, I don’t believe it is their fault directly, just staying there and not being delivered. Those who claim to be of Christ, that would put them in the family, and the Bible clearly gives Believers the authority to judge the fruit of other members, those gays who are not in the family are judge by the law already, and God will do that Himself when He finally pulls the plug on this cracker barrel. After another people have strung out enough rope to hang themselves on, I am going to put it to them in a way they either have to put up, or shut up, and that is with righteous authority.
I apologize @Hypocrisy_Central if I caused a derailment here.
How can there be? No one ever got on the road because they knew they could not drive the limit, and the road is quite narrow and curvy and few find it. They have done nothing to show how one can be a gay Christian and be in-line with God, they have tried to make every excuse under the sun because that is all they have.
@Pachy Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
Luke 6:37–42; Romans 14:1–12
Soundbites only count in politics and those lurve hunting. Out of context it seems to say what people in the wrong want it to say. Who was He speaking to and why was He speaking to them in that manner? Don’t answer, you don’t know, and you will further confuse people. But….going off how you are trying to frame it, I am willing to be judged by the standard of the Bible so I guess that is the measure I will use when making any judgement on anyone else. If you don’t know the measuring standard of the Bible then you can’t comment on how I do it.
@Pied_Pfeffer I plan to get to that and see what it says.
@Dutchess_III Apparently they expect God to make allowances for them.
People are going to make bonehead decisions; if we were capable on being perfect we would not need Christ. As people popularly like to use, you do not know what was in their heart. Do you know if they repented of their action? If one repents (you DO know what that is, right?) that is one thing, to live openly in sin making no attempt to repent is another.
@keobooks It stuck in my head so much that when I first heard that most Christians believed that gay people couldn’t be Christians, it deeply confused me.
Not quite true, gay people can be Christian if they are not in a same-sex union and celibate. If not, they are no different than any other fornicator, I guess the gay leaning church Bible allows fornication too.
I assumed that the paragraph above was true, but that many Christians wanted to be justified in their personal disgust of homosexuality, that they allowed themselves to think a biblically incorrect thought.
Who is that? Doesn’t fit me, don’t know any Believer it does, though there may be some that do.
