“I can tell you that the great prophet Jeremiah said that this is the exact opposite of what we should do. Our hearts are wicked and who can understand such a thing without assistance?” How nice of you to mention Jeremiah, my Friend … I know I have quoted the following very important passage […]
You then appeal to everyone reading this thread to “hold on to their faith in Jesus”, and I would second that call wholeheartedly – as long as those folks are willing to listen to what Jesus says about following him, and not to you & yours … Again, let all who wish to do so […]
“The apostle Paul reminds us that none of us can stand before a Holy God unless we are washed by the blood of Jesus.” Well, if I am to sincerely follow Jesus Christ and consciously remain “humble as a young child” (see Matthew 18:4), then I must admit that this statement might end up […]
“All of the disciples of Jesus agreed and said that we should confess our sins to one another and repent.” My dear Friend, the word “repent” that you read in your Bible (the word that you have been incorrectly taught calls for an intellectual remorse for wrongdoings &/or a verbal confession of sins) is […]
“God will grant us forgiveness if we forgive others. We forgive others so that our hearts are not poisoned. We forgive ourselves so that we can continuously focus our eyes on the cross.” This is a bold statement, my Friend, and yet you neglect to note or mention the three following fundamental Truths tied […]
You then refer to a long slough of verses – all of which actually proving my point in this discussion (which is actually Jesus’ point, of course) – namely, that if you truly want to walk The Way of Christ, and that if you truly want to be sincere in your Love and “Love your […]
“My intent, as much as you refuse to believe otherwise, is not to bash gay people or condemn them, but rather to stand for biblical truth” My dear Friend, your true intent is for you to know and you alone. Of course, regardless of what you are intending by bashing homosexuals, you most definitely are […]
The first verse you mention is Romans 1:20-28, a “Clobber Passage” extremely popular among conservative Christians who claim biblical support for their personal prejudice against gays. I have already illuminated the true significance of this seemingly wicked passage many times before in this thread, and yet I am going to explain it to you now […]
Then you reference 1 Timothy 1:9-11, a passage which says in large part that – “the law is laid down not for the innocent but for the lawless and disobedient; for the godless and the sinful, for the unholy and the profane — for those who kill their father or mother, for murderers, fornicators, sodomites, […]
Thereafter you move along to 1 Corinthians 5:11, which reads – “But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother or sister who is sexually immoral or greedy, or who is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or robber. Do not even eat with such a one.” […]
You then also reference Hebrews 13:4, which reads – “Let marriage be held in honor by all, and let the marriage bed be kept undefiled; for God will judge fornicators and adulterers.” … While this verse which does indeed clearly prohibit those who fornicate outside the bounds of marriage, and yet this too has no […]
