You and everyone else has run away once I started referring to actual scripture.
We are to "Judge all things" oddly is not anywhere in scripture.
I happen to be very conservative "to scripture" and as a result
not all that conservative at all socially.
I'm happy to show conservatives the error of what has been preached
from the pulpit, but not actually supported by scripture.
Sexual orientation and gender bologna rules are both historical blips
not supported by scripture. Paul also had some mistakes telling
women to shut up, the length of hair and head coverings.
No one that I am aware of has 'run away'. I have a job and don't have as much 'time' as I would like to spend here.
The 'truth is' that it is 'you' that has failed to even admit that scripture exists except as 'you' determine it. For to say that Paul's words are 'mistakes' is to say that your position is that scripture is what 'you want it to be' instead of what we are offered.
In the OT, long before the New, it was given in instruction that homosexuality is not only a 'sin', but outright abomination to God Himself. Guess not only Paul made mistakes when delivering God's Word, but so too was Moses a major 'blunderer'?
It doesn't take a 'rocket scientist' to recognize that homosexuality is utterly 'contrary' to nature itself. From the beginning of the Bible we are informed of the proper 'order' of God's 'creation'. A man and woman become 'as one' in marriage. They have children as is God's will, (yet many now days seem to believe it should be 'their own will').
Two men or two women 'cannot' become as 'one' in marriage regardless of the 'laws of men'. They certainly cannot consummate a righteous marriage according to God's will for the simple fact that it takes a male and a female to 'do so'. The whole 'sexual agenda' as inserted into 'creation' was for 'procreation' not 'recreation'. While God inserted 'pleasure' into the equation doesn't mean that we are to allow ourselves to 'burn' in our lusts for that pleasure. The act of sex was designed for 'one purpose': procreation. Talk around the issue all you like, ignorance is the only manner in which anyone would even attempt to offer any alternative answer. We are not to allow 'anything' concerning the flesh to rule over our spirit. We are commanded to 'overcome' the flesh.
Sir, you are anything 'but' conservative in any way. You are about as 'liberal' as anyone I have ever encountered.
When I read what you offer the closest person that I can associate with what you offer was Alister Crowley. "Do what thou wilt shall be all the law". That is the message that I have gathered from your comments.
You have proven yourself unworthy of any semblance of 'trust' as concerns the Bible over and over again. Anyone that would offer that Paul's words were merely 'blunders' or 'mistakes' or whatever other than the 'truth' is what I would consider 'anti Christ'. For if you do not believe in Paul, how could you possibly believe in Christ, (place one's faith there)?
Paul didn't simply offer opinion. On many occasion he stated openly and clearly that the words he offered are the 'commandments of God'.
But it seems that you don't 'like' some of the 'commandments' of God as delivered by Paul, (and Moses), so you choose to discredit the messengers that delivered the messages that 'you don't like'. I guess it would be tempting and quite nice to travel through the pages of scripture and disregard any that don't match what 'you want to believe' or practice. The only problem with that is that there is no relationship possible with the 'true God' through such understanding. You can't do it your way and then call on God and expect Him to hear you. He does not listen to the prayers of those that are unrepentant, (how many that died in the 'flood' do you suppose may have been on their knees praying when the water came?).
You, sir, seem to be little other than a 'part' of the homosexual agenda and the feminist agenda as well. And you do not gain your insight through scripture as you claim. For scripture does not contain such agendas when takes as a whole as it is offered.
Blessings,
MEC
Paul didn't tell women to 'shut up', he told them that when they are 'in the Church', (gathering), to remain 'silent'.
