Re: Jesus Christ and Homosexuality
tooold4thisstuff wrote:PS. Over and over in scripture we read where sexual immorality is sinful. We read in Romans 1 where God left the people and they turned
to homosexuality and destroyed their standing with Him and with each other. The story of Sodom and the references about it in the N/T further
illustrate God's opinion toward sexual sin.
We also read where sexual immorality is serious because it is a sin against the temple of the Holy Spirit ( our body ). It's a sin we don't
commit alone, we drag others into it.
When one asserts that scripture isn't clear on this matter, they illustrate how very much they need to sincerely read the Bible and not only pull out a passage here and there to support their opinions.
The Bible is clear on this topic.
According to the Bible there are TWO Gods..... "the god of this world" or false God (law/flesh) and the one true God (liberty and spirit).
THE DEVIL IS A GOD.... (according to the Bible)
Adam gave the devil this power over the world. (Through knowledge of good and evil comes LAW.....) Law led to the original sin for without law there is no sin. The devil imposed guilt from law upon them. Well meaning people are doing the same today to homosexuals and people who do not fit their own standards of law.
Apparently some have denied Christ Jesus for idolatry (GOD/MAN Jesus Christ is not God.) too and they worship the same God of law through this trinity.
Lucifer is the GOD (theos) of this world and the God of law (not faith). Apparently you both need to read the Bible instead of your pamphlets that teach hate and division. The old testament men and women were reckoned righteous by faith not by law.
Have you even considered once that you might be wrong and I (a humble homosexual before God) might be right? I have considered I might be wrong but the word confirms clearly I am right. (BTW Kate I already knew you were quoting Paul) Paul is not a contradiction but he uses words cleverly to make implications that he dose not always solidify with literal words.
Except...... when he says, "there is neither male nor female" but all are one in Christ Jesus.
So am I a male or a female in God's eyes? (YOU ARE NOT READING THE WORD WITH UNDERSTANDING REASON)
2Co 4:4
In whom the
god of this world hath blinded [law] the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
Comment:
The God of this world.. this is the "god" of law and flesh.
This God has blinded well meaning people minds from the glorious gospel of Christ for the law instead.
This law was fulfilled in Christ Jesus but it seems they are trying to fulfill it again today also anyway. So Christ Jesus' works were not enough to free us from sin?
By faith alone.....
Peace with God and yourself.
Our disagreements should not come before the love we have toward one another.
