“What was immoral in the Old Testament is still immoral in the New … The New Testament says that homosexuality is a “shameful lust” (Romans 1:26), a “shameful act,” an abandonment of “natural relations” (Romans 1:27), a “wrongdoing” (1 Corinthians 6:9), and “sexual immorality and perversion” (Jude 1:7). Homosexuality carries a “due penalty” (Romans 1:27), […]
“Homosexuality is not the cause of a society’s decline, but it is a symptom of it; it is the result of people making themselves the final authorities.” … Lucy, this statement is so ridiculous that it is almost not worth refuting, and yet I realize that there are still some folks out there who believe […]
“The phrase ‘God gave them over’ means that when we insist on shaking our fists at God, He finally lets us have the perversion we demand. And that is a judgment in itself.” You know Lucy, to a degree, I agree with this sentiment – just like when we shake our fists in selfish […]
“The good news is that homosexuality is not an unpardonable sin. It is forgivable just like greed, theft, and murder are forgivable when we repent and turn to Jesus (Acts 2:38).” No, my dear Lucy, the Truth of the matter is that Jesus himself would loudly & firmly differ with you once again. For […]
“Whereas we were once defined by our sin, being born again (John 3:3) means we are now defined by Jesus and His righteousness (Colossians 3:3).” YES, my Friend! I have experienced this statement to be so very true – and yet only in the context of Jesus’ teachings; only in the context of his […]
“A thief no longer has to define himself as a thief. He is cleansed from his former ways and made new in Christ. A murderer — such as Saul before he became the apostle Paul — is forgiven and conformed to the image of Christ (Galatians 1:13; 1 Corinthians 15:9; Romans 8:29). And [similarly], someone […]
You then repeat yourself again when you state that, “1 Corinthians 6:9–10 includes homosexuals in a list of those who will not have a part in God’s Kingdom. But verse 11 goes on to say, ‘Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name […]
“The truth is that some of the saints in the Corinthian church were former homosexuals. God’s Kingdom is populated by sinners.” Again, my dear Friend, homosexuality might make you uncomfortable because of the limited way Love was taught to you in your childhood, or maybe it makes you uneasy because of the conservative dogma […]
“The New Testament offers good news for everyone struggling with sexual identity. Jesus wants to replace our sinful lifestyles with his righteousness so that we become more like him.” Lucy, the only struggle people have with their sexual identity comes from being judged and condemned by people like you & yours, and the only […]
“Nothing has changed, Scaughdt. God didn’t change his mind on sin … You can’t change it, and I can’t change it … He has spoken and His laws are just! You just don’t know Him … If you did you would know His Love is pure!” (sigh) … My dear Friend, there is so […]
“The most important thing about Jesus, Scaughdt, was his death & resurrection – something you say was false!” Actually, my dear, whether Jesus actually died on the cross or not, Jesus himself made it very clear that neither his death nor his apparent resurrection were even close to the most important thing at all […]
