“It must be noted that it is not biblical for a person to sin habitually and continually as a lifestyle and still be a believer … Grace is a gift from God.” First off, it is particularly odd for you to be making such a statement, for the simple reason that the verse to […]
“When we sin, the Spirit will convict us of sin such that a godly sorrow will result.” This is a reference to 2 Corinthians 7:10-11, which states in full – “For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation and brings no regret, but worldly grief produces death. For see what earnestness this […]
Next, you are kind enough to identify why your theology is so conservatively warped by stating that, “The problem with homosexuality is that it is a lifestyle”, which, of course, it most certainly is not. Indeed, I have already cited over a dozen studies showing quite clearly that homosexual attraction is just as innate (and […]
“We continue to sin from time to time, and we have the Holy Spirit to convict us right away when we do so, and we repent for that sin as well.” Hmmmm … Well, if this is indeed the case, then I must ask you why are you not repenting for the sins you […]
Finally, you claim that, “We live in a world of sin, and we come in contact with people every day who do nothing but sin against God. That is their choice … We don’t condemn them; they condemn themselves” … And yet, my dear, if this were truly the case, then this particular conversation would […]
Scaughdt: Wow! This thread is awesome – AND it has lost all semblance of focus. As such, here is a brief recap of a few still-unrefuted (and still mostly-unaddressed) facts: *Fact: God created homosexuality (i.e. IT IS NOT A “LIFESTYLE”) … Science is repeatedly showing that humans are one of over 1500+ species that have […]
Scaughdt: I think I just realized the primary problem with this thread – and I think I am more than partly to blame … We have been covering so many points and I have been asking so many questions at once, that the VAST majority of them have gone completely unanswered … So let’s just […]
Scaughdt: Well, now it is on to my third major Query … Question #03: Do you believe in a literal reading of Leviticus 18:22 & Leviticus 20:13? This is a pretty important interrogatory, actually, because if you do believe in a straight-forward, non-metaphorical, literal reading of these two verses, then you will have […]
Daniel: I definitely would not [go and hear a homosexual pastor preach] … I would not want a spiritual leader that is ok with desanctifying Holy Matrimony … Why would that be ok??? Lawlessness differs from legalism … The world is trying to erase our ability to know the difference between right and wrong. It […]
Scaughdt: I am curious (I sincerely don’t know what you all believe about this one) – seeing as how roughly 60% of Christians now accept that homosexual love-making is not a sin, does that mean that these worshipers are blaspheming against the seemingly clear prohibitions against that act cited in Leviticus? And how about heterosexual […]
“That being the case, love requires us to condemn every evil, including adultery and homosexuality, while those who tell the guilty that they have no need to repent are guilty of satanic hatred.” Frankly, my dear, there is so much blatantly wrong with this sentence, that I really don’t know where to begin. While […]
