God Will Judge America

There is a big difference here. Being homosexual is a sin, an abomination in the eyes of our Heavenly Father. Being black isn't a sin.

Not being a Christian is a sin, too. Yet India and China remain remarkably free of God's judgement. You'd think a couple of billion non Christians would upset God more than a few thousand secular same sex weddings.

I'm sure all those lost souls do upset our Heavenly Father. But willful disobedience and turning ones back on God to spit in his face and preform one of the most detestable sins is something he will not accept.

Uh-huh. Which is of course why all those other countries with legalised same sex marriage are today nothing but smoking craters.

Those people who supported slavery were obviously misled and did not love their brother as they should have. Same sex marriage on the other hand is a thing that is detestable in God's sight.

Homosexuality is genetic.

Lying is also detestable. You don't see Christians getting their undies in a bundle over lying.

God warned that in the last days scoffers and mockers would come. But as it was in the days of Noah the flood came and they were all destroyed.

Always a good stand by when you can't refute an argument.

So, whenever there are scoffers, it must be the last days?

Some folks are all about hellfire and damnation FOR EVERYBODY ELSE.

Sad,

There is nothing here to refute as you've made no argument.

Homosexuality is an abominable sin and the scriptures clearly state that. I can list scriptures if you'd like but I'm sure you wouldn't like that.

The scripture stating that the world will be destroyed by fire has already been posted.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of all wisdom. There will be hellfire and damnation for everyone who refuses to repent and believe the gospel. So yes we should fear him and not scoff and mock as if it is a joke when abominable sins are committed.

People have been talking like this since humans could speak; meanwhile, the world goes on.....

That's exactly what the scriptures said the scoffers would say: 2 Peter 3:3-4

Yeah, written 2000 years ago! Thanks for making my point for me.

So you expose yourself as someone who scoffs the second coming of Christ.

Scoff? Too strong a word, but I know folks like you love to use harsh language on people that disagree with them.

Since you do not believe the creeds that Christ will come again you shouldn't be posting in this section of the forum.

Many early and influential Christians spiritualized Jesus coming.

 

[Steve Petersen]

Didn't realize that believing in an immanent and literal return of Jesus was a requirement of this forum. Many early and influential Christians spiritualized Jesus coming. Got any vitriol for them?

Well it is. You must be a Nicene Creed professing Christian to post here. The creed clearly states:

"And ascended into heaven,
And sitteth on the right hand of the Father.
And he shall come again with glory to judge both the quick and the dead:
Whose kingdom shall have no end."

Hmmm....some of these Nicene Creed Christians apparently don't live up to YOUR definition of Christian:

Orthodox layman Alexander Kalomiros explains the original Church's position regarding the Second Coming in River of Fire andAgainst False Union, stating that those who contend that Christ will reign on earth for a thousand years "do not wait for Christ, but for the Antichrist." The idea of Jesus returning to this earth as a king is a heretical concept to the Church, equated to "the expectations of the Jews who wanted the Messiah to be an earthly King." The Church instead teaches that which it has taught since the beginning—Christ will not return to earth, rather the Kingdom of Heaven, the New Jerusalem, will be established through the Resurrection of the dead.
