Next, we have a passage that is not as frequently heard, and yet one that is used to bash homosexuals nonetheless. It reads: “This means understanding 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 — […]
There is indeed one verse in the book of Jude that does seem to condemn homosexuality. It reads: “Likewise, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which, in the same manner as they, indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural lust, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.” (Jude 1:7) … […]
You subsequently noted that “the Bible is the final authority on sin and its consequences”, and to this I say – Fair enough, my Friend. And yet if this is truly the case, then why are you yourself denying what the Bible itself says about sin and its consequences? *Whatever happened to us reaping only […]
You then ask: “What does the Bible really say about homosexuals?”, and you attempt to answer that question yourself by restating that “The Bible consistently tells us that homosexual activity is a sin (Genesis 19:1-13; Leviticus 18:22; Romans 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9).” … My dear Lucy, first of all, it would help this conversation immensely […]
You then specifically call upon Romans 1:26-27, noting your personal belief that it “teaches specifically that those who fall into homosexuality do so as a result of denying and disobeying God” … My dear Friend, as I have already explained to you & yours on many occasions, this passage of Romans A) speaks only to […]
“I will speak of the Love that God has for them, and I will not be unkind to them in any way. They are free to live however they want.” First of all, Lucy, it doesn’t matter if you are gently stroking someone’s head while you are slitting their throat; you are still murdering […]
“[Homosexuals] simply have a choice to make: to live for themselves or to live for for Christ”, and I would agree with you on this point 100% — for everyone, not only for homosexuals. Of course, what you still fail to realize is the most important word in this very sentence – namely, the word […]
“I have not condemned them or anyone, I only speak the words of the Bible” … And to this I would simply state the obvious (as I have already done on numerous occasions beforehand) – that you most certainly have condemned homosexuals, Lucy; and that you most certainly do continue to do so! You […]
“Take it up with God [as] He has the say on all sin.” Well my Friend, if you are correct and God does turn out to be the ignorant bigot that Leviticus claims Him to be, then you better believe I most certainly will take it up with Him at the next available opportunity! […]
“I know you don’t like that, but that’s [just] the way it is!” Frankly, my Friend, I still find it absolutely astounding that you can sincerely claim to have an objective knowledge of the “true meaning” of the Scriptures (and even the very nature of God Himself) – knowledge that neither the most well-studied scholar […]
“If you knew Him you could understand someone so holy cannot have sin in his presence.” Goodness gracious, Lucy! If your God is so “holy” that he cannot abide sin in His presence, then he is not very holy at all! Indeed, for you to say that God can only have perfection in His […]
