Gay theology (i.e. Mel White, Soulforce) why even try?

[LittleNipper]

FINALLY.

David and Jonathan show the love that two men can have for each other. It shows Jonathan realizing that God had annointed David as the "next" King of Israel and acting accordingly. A man loving another man is quite common in the history of men. Many men will abandon a wife a children, and literally, will die for their male friends.

Gay theology on David and Jonathan is easily countered when sound reasoning is presented against it.

Presenting that the Roman commander was a pedophile or pederast (at best) as a slave owner, asserts and inserts that the rape of another as a beautiful thing to be engaged in is the gay theological position. The entire New Testament rejects that inappropriate position.

What we have "in context" is a Roman (and NOT a Jew/Israelite) that cares deeply for a young person under his authority, that is suffering to the point of death. He should be seen as a Christian before the word Christian was used to describe the followers of Christ Jesus. (They were called Christians first in Antioch.)

Asserting that the Roman in the passage is a man who has sex with boy slaves and that "his faith" is great indeed, is a stretch of the imagination, not to mention that this position supports pederasty/pedophilia and man-boy sex. That position, opposes the reality of the entire New Testament witness on what is proper sexuality "for a Christian."

What about a mother in law and her daughter in law being lesbian lovers (Ruth and Naomi)?

Care to examine the scriptures on them? Or, how about just the modern moral statement in presenting the two ladies as homosexual partners? Naomi went to great depths to get Ruth to marry this sweet guy named Boaz. As can be seen on these very boards, lesbians do not go to any lengths to get their young lovers to marry any man. In fact they claim that that is hate crime to teach that.

I wonder how many people in the Christian world know how GLBT's teach and preach the Bible?

The whole idea of "loving" each other takes on a whole new meaning in Gay theology. Gay theology is close to blasphemy seeing that all of the people concerned in their theology (except the Roman and his sex slave) are in the family tree of Christ Jesus.

If nothing else gay theology certainly crosses the lines of decency and resembles the words spoken to Eve by the Serpent:

"Did God really say?"

CLOSE TO BLASPHEMY? IT IS TOTAL BLATANT BLASPHEMY! NOT AT ALL WORTHY OF THE TERM MEANING "LITTLE CHRISTS."

 

[selfinflikted]

Let's see, if I "dare" to stand against the gay train plowing through society, I am either a closeted gay gay, or a troll, or someone wanting to hurt gays physically.

Maybe you are those things, maybe you aren't. I don't know you, so I can't say. <staff edit>

Man, it seems more and more as you deal with GLBT's that obviously Sodom and Gomorrah was no myth or metaphor.

You've offered no proof that S&G had anything to do with homosexuality, myth or not.

The inhospitality of gay sex adherants is haughtiness defined perfectly. There are more gay, lesbian, pagans and atheists here than there are Christians.

Yes, obviously. This is the section of the forums that is open to all - not just christians. You can leave if you like, and it certainly wouldn't hurt my feelings if you did.

Parasatical plain and simple and for a different purpose than hearing the Gospel preached in truth.

I don't particularly care for "gospel preaching" and I'm sure they have a subforum for that. This is E&M, where we discuss just that.

There is no support for pushing the gay agenda on Christians but that is what is done incessanty by the GLBT culture and its proponents.

Yes, because this group of people are the most vocal. They are the ones pushing for legislation that would, in effect, make us lesser human beings. We are striving for equality, so you can bet we're not going away until we get what we want.

This thread and all the others pushing the gay life proves this.

There is no such thing as a "gay life". This has been illustrated to you repeatedly, yet you keep repeating your lies. I find it funny that, the ones who profess their christianity the loudest are more likely the ones who exhibit the least amount of christian behavior.

People in your camp are demanding that Christians shutup or stay in their Churches . . .

Because laws based on religion have no place in a secular society. Do what you will in your churches, just leave it out of the government.

When Christians stand against sexual behaviors being some kind of new minority classifications, we are labeled as bad people.

Stand against it all you want, but do not try to impose your morals and/or beliefs on others. That's what makes you bad people.

Why can't same-gender sex be opposed?

No one is forcing you to have same-gender sex. Oppose it in your own life, not in the lives of others.

The very anatomy of the human body opposes the gay agenda.

That's odd. I've been having sex with my partner for the last six years (almost, October this year!) and our anatomy hasn't opposed us yet. I'm not sure what you mean here.

Paul's assertion and a modern MD.

I don't care about Paul, and any MD that claims what you have claimed is a quack.

Care to actually debate the premise of this thread?

I've issued a challenge to you in another thread which you have (suprise!) completely ignored. Your whole basis for condemnation of gay people hinges on the alleged condemnation by "god", as recorded in the bible. I do not hold the bible in any higher esteem than I do any of the other myriad religious texts found all over the world. I do not believe your god exists, therefore I do not believe he condemns my life. If you are correct, and god does indeed oppose homosexuality, then show me your god. Show me that he exists, and then maybe I can take the bible a little more seriously.

Baggering me as Lot was isn't debate.

I called you out on your behaviour in these threads. Are you denying what I said? Because, let me tell you, from where I sit you have absolutely no right to take offense at an ad hominemwhen you have done nothing but bad-mouth gays up one side these boards and down the other.

16 for I am not ashamed of the good news of the Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation to every one who is believing, both to Jew first, and to Greek. 17 For the righteousness of God in it is revealed from faith to faith, according as it hath been written, 'And the righteous one by faith shall live,'
18 for revealed is the wrath of God from heaven upon all impiety and unrighteousness of men, holding down the truth in unrighteousness. 19 Because that which is known of God is manifest among them, for God did manifest it to them, 20 for the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world, by the things made being understood, are plainly seen, both His eternal power and Godhead -- to their being inexcusable; 21 because, having known God they did not glorify Him as God, nor gave thanks, but were made vain in their reasonings, and their unintelligent heart was darkened, 22 professing to be wise, they were made fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of fowls, and of quadrupeds, and of reptiles.
24 Wherefore also God did give them up, in the desires of their hearts, to uncleanness, to dishonour their bodies among themselves; 25 who did change the truth of God into a falsehood, and did honour and serve the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed to the ages. Amen.
26 Because of this did God give them up to dishonourable affections, for even their females did change the natural use into that against nature; 27 and in like manner also the males having left the natural use of the female, did burn in their longing toward one another; males with males working shame, and the recompense of their error that was fit, in themselves receiving.
28 And, according as they did not approve of having God in knowledge, God gave them up to a disapproved mind, to do the things not seemly; 29 having been filled with all unrighteousness, whoredom, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil dispositions; whisperers, 30 evil-speakers, God-haters, insulting, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 unintelligent, faithless, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful; 32 who the righteous judgment of God having known -- that those practising such things are worthy of death -- not only do them, but also have delight with those practising them.

[Polycarp_fan]

Maybe you are those things, maybe you aren't. I don't know you, so I can't say. What I can say, based on your posts dealing with the subject is that you are a bigot.

I have reported you use of the word bigot to define my opposition to homosexuality.

You've offered no proof that S&G had anything to do with homosexuality, myth or not.

Men raping men is a homosexual act. Do the math. But I also agree that it was haughtiness and inhospitality and many other sins that had the cry of horro about Sodom and Gomorrah reaching God. Notice that God didn't go into Sodom, but destroyed it from outside of it. Myth or not.

Yes, obviously. This is the section of the forums that is open to all - not just christians. You can leave if you like, and it certainly wouldn't hurt my feelings if you did.

I am not afriad of non or anti-Christians. Hence my nickname. Sometimes thay are hilarious.

That flies in the face of the reality of the founding of the United States. The founders used religion very well in many places in founding this nation.

PART TWO A BIT LATER

<< Romans 1 >>​

This isn't proof of the existence of god at all.

 

[FlamingFemme]

Men raping men is a homosexual act. Do the math.

No, it is not. Rape, regardless of the sex/gender of the person being raped, is about control and power - NOT sex. It is NEVER about sex. Men who rape other men in prison are not doing it because they are gay, it is purely for control and humiliation. Men who victimize and rape women aren't doing it because they think she's hot, they are doing it to control her. Once again, rape is NOT a homosexual, or even a heterosexual act, it's not even a sexual act at all, period. You need to understand that.

 

[Polycarp_fan]

This isn't proof of the existence of god at all.

What created "time?"

0 x 0 = the seen and unseen universe may make sense to an athiest, but this kind of logic is queer to those of us that reason things out.

 

[selfinflikted]

I have reported you use of the word bigot to define my opposition to homosexuality.

That's fine. It won't be the first report against me, and it probably won't be the last. Note though, that despite the many, many derogatory names you've called gays (me), I have not hit the report button once. I couldn't care less if you "oppose" homosexuality, but the nature and tone of all your posts could only be described as pure bigotry. Sorry if that's offensive, but sometimes the truth hurts.

Men raping men is a homosexual act. Do the math.

No, rape is rape. It has absolutely nothing to do with sexual orientation. I still believe that, after all the discussion that has taken place over the past couple of weeks, you have no idea what "sexual orientation" means. I think you read the words that myself and others post, but you don't take the time to try to understand or comprehend what they actually say.

I am not afriad of non or anti-Christians. Hence my nickname. Sometimes thay are hilarious.

And sometimes, "christians" can be even more hilarious.

The perfect place to oppose the ethics and morality of supporting and promoting homosexuality as something a Christian should do. I have the entire New Testament as backup for that.

What you have, is an obvious aversion to people that are different from yourself. That, and a book written by an ancient, superstitious people that sometimes contains bits of wisdom, but at the same time contains a lot of what we would consider today to be quite immoral.

And we Christians are not going away in our opposition to gay sex being promoted.

Actually, you are going away. As the younger generations get older, more and more bigots will be wiped off the face of the earth. It is only a matter of time before the majority of them are gone, and we gain full equal rights and hopefully full on social acceptance. It's happening already, and your "team" is losing the battle.

Same-gender marriage is exclusively "gay life." And so on . . .

No. This is the same thing as saying there is a "gay lifestyle" and a "gay agenda". This is just patently false. The only thing that gays have in common is their sexual orientation. There is no "gay life", "gay lifestyle", or "gay agenda". This has been pointed out ad nauseum.

That flies in the face of the reality of the founding of the United States.

How so?

 

[selfinflikted]

What created "time?"

0 x 0 = the seen and unseen universe may make sense to an athiest, but this kind of logic is queer to those of us that reason things out.

One of the many differences between myself and some christians is that I am perfectly fine answering the question "Where did the universe come from?" with the answer "I don't know." I'm content with that, and have absolutely no need to insert a "god" into the equation anywhere.

And you can dispense with the "0 x 0 = whatever" nonsense. I don't know where you got that, but it is most certainly not what I believe.

If you plan on staying around here, however, I suggest you provide some evidence corroborating that your Biblical interpretation is the sole correct one. Otherwise, you have little hope of convincing anyone. And if you are not here to convince anyone, why are you in a debate forum?

PART TWO:

Stand against it all you want, but do not try to impose your morals and/or beliefs on others. That's what makes you bad people.

Yet it is a "civl right" for you GLBT's to literally force your morals and/or beliefs on everyone. This is why Christians have such a difficulty with the hypocrisy of GLBT culture.

No one is forcing you to have same-gender sex. Oppose it in your own life, not in the lives of others.

Hmm, someone complained about the Heinz ad. I'll bet some of them weren't even Christians.

That's odd. I've been having sex with my partner for the last six years (almost, October this year!) and our anatomy hasn't opposed us yet. I'm not sure what you mean here.

Anatomically, "if" your partner is of the same gender, you can't have "sex." You can act out the form of it, but in all reality, you haven't the right parts in the right place.

I don't care about Paul,

He's not all that imporatnt to my apologia about the inappropriateness of gay sex for Christians. The other Christians writing letters make it very clear to avoide the behavior.

and any MD that claims what you have claimed is a quack.

So we shoud sue protologists for malpractice? What about Dentists? No doctor CAN agree with sex in any place but where sex is biologiaclly designed. It's an oath they take.

I've issued a challenge to you in another thread which you have (suprise!) completely ignored.

It's tough dealing with all of the bagerring I receive here.

Where's yours at? Which thread?

Your whole basis for condemnation of gay people hinges on the alleged condemnation by "god", as recorded in the bible. I do not hold the bible in any higher esteem than I do any of the other myriad religious texts found all over the world. I do not believe your god exists, therefore I do not believe he condemns my life.

That is in keeping with queer atheism. OK. It is NOT in keeping with being a Christians. I have posted that we Christians should FORCE others to be Christians? The New Testament does not support that and neither do I. Pagans can do what they wilteth.

If you are correct, and god does indeed oppose homosexuality, then show me your god.

Is this like "show me your God?" If you can't figure that out with all of the evidence all around you, this humble little Christian has no chance of convincing you. I think far worse about atheism than I do same-gender sex acts. My position is that the writing witness of the Bible does not promote believers in the God shwon in the Bible condones, supports, or promtes "homosexuality." You'll have to get someone more sophisticated to try to trip me up.

Show me that he exists, and then maybe I can take the bible a little more seriously.

You ARE taking the Bible seriously. Very, seriously. Otherwise you wouldn't be here doing what you are doing. When I was an atheist, I never once railed against Christianity and Christians. I just went about my business.

I called you out on your behaviour in these threads. Are you denying what I said?

You are employing gay tactics 101. When all of your feeble attempts to promte homosexuality fails to get us to submit, you finally get around to charging us with some violation. I've been at this opposing gay culture thing for quite some time now. You're very cunning but not surprising at all. Anti-Christians cannot stand a Christian standing up to tham. Hence my nickname Ploycarp fan. Look him up. He was a real person dealing with a version of liberals and progressives (GLBT's and their supporters) of his day.

Because, let me tell you, from where I sit you have absolutely no right to take offense at an ad hominemwhen you have done nothing but bad-mouth gays up one side these boards and down the other.

From where a Pimp sits abstinence programs violates employment "laws."

But they do not violate the New Testament view of ethics and morality.

Irreducible complexity is debunked by biology. Precursors to the human body can be found in other species. If anything, vestigal structures like the coccyx and appendix underscore our links to other species. If you would like to be educated about this topic further, however, let's head over to the CREVO forum on CF, instead of derailing things here.

A Christian's job is not to convince anyone. Did Noah convince his neighbors with his preaching? Did Lot convince his sons-in-law? Look at the various prophets throughout the scriptures. Very few presented a message that brought about repentance. Even the two martyrs in Revelation 20:4 will convert none. Their job is to be witnesses so that the condemned are totally without excuse. JESUS never even said one word to Herod. HIS mere presence was enough.

 

[selfinflikted]

Yet it is a "civl right" for you GLBT's to literally force your morals and/or beliefs on everyone. This is why Christians have such a difficulty with the hypocrisy of GLBT culture.

Sorry, but last time I checked, no one was trying to force you to have a same-sex marriage or have sex with someone of your own gender. This is just a plain silly statement, and you know it. lol.

Hmm, someone complained about the Heinz ad. I'll bet some of them weren't even Christians.

Evidence?

Anatomically, "if" your partner is of the same gender, you can't have "sex."

Another lie. I have sex with my partner on a regular basis. Maybe your definition of sex needs a little revising.

You can act out the form of it, but in all reality, you haven't the right parts in the right place.

Then tell me, what is your definition of sex?

He's not all that imporatnt to my apologia about the inappropriateness of gay sex for Christians. The other Christians writing letters make it very clear to avoide the behavior.

Yes, other christians writings. I asked for you to show me the supposed author of the bible himself. Unless, that is, you can't...

So we shoud sue protologists for malpractice? What about Dentists?

Not sure what a "protologist" is.

Let me give you my definition, so we're clear on this:

If I [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse], and Im not alone in the room, I consider that sex.

No doctor CAN agree with sex in any place but where sex is biologiaclly designed. It's an oath they take.

Sex is more than penis ==> vagina. Hate to break that to you. If that's all you're doing in the bedroom, then I gotta tell ya man, I feel so sorry for you.

It's tough dealing with all of the bagerring I receive here.

You will, of course forgive me if I lol a little bit. I cannot muster a single shred of sympathy for you the way you've talked about homosexuals. In fact, I really dislike you for it.

That is in keeping with queer atheism. OK. It is NOT in keeping with being a Christians. I have posted that we Christians should FORCE others to be Christians? The New Testament does not support that and neither do I. Pagans can do what they wilteth.

Then you can stop ranting about how evil homosexuality is at any point in time. I'll be waiting.

Is this like "show me your God?"

That's what I said...

If you can't figure that out with all of the evidence all around you, this humble little Christian has no chance of convincing you.

Translation: I cannot show you my god.

Funny that, it's just as I suspected. Nice try at side-stepping, by the way.

I think far worse about atheism than I do same-gender sex acts.

And you are free to think whatever you wish. I begrudge you nothing for that.

My position is that the writing witness of the Bible does not promote believers in the God shwon in the Bible condones, supports, or promtes "homosexuality." You'll have to get someone more sophisticated to try to trip me up.

The bible is actually quite silent on homosexuality, I think. Simply because it is not mentioned, does not mean that it is condemned.

You ARE taking the Bible seriously. Very, seriously. Otherwise you wouldn't be here doing what you are doing.

No, it's the christians who take the bible seriously, not me. Otherwise, I'd have probably killed myself by now.

When I was an atheist, I never once railed against Christianity and Christians. I just went about my business.

Because you aren't gay and christians probably didn't pose any threat to you. I can't say the same for me. Unfortunately, I can't understand why christians won't "just go about their business" and leave us gays alone!

You are employing gay tactics 101.

/rolls eyes

When all of your feeble attempts to promte homosexuality fails to get us to submit, you finally get around to charging us with some violation.

So, you believe you haven't been very condescending to gays?

I've been at this opposing gay culture thing for quite some time now. You're very cunning but not surprising at all. Anti-Christians cannot stand a Christian standing up to tham.

Because their position is based in fairy tales, not in reality. That's what makes it so damn frustrating.

From where a Pimp sits abstinence programs violates employment "laws."

But they do not violate the New Testament view of ethics and morality.

I think everyone here will agree with me on the tone and nature of your posts. Don't try to claim innocence now. It's too late for that.

 

[selfinflikted]

Actually, your attitudes and behavior fit the pattern perfectly. You become proof yourself.

Oh Jeez. This is so retarded. Either put up or shut up. Show me god, or admit you can't.

 

[TheManeki]

A Christian's job is not to convince anyone.

Paul would disagree. Perhaps you need to reread his preaching to the Athenians, where he adapted his words to suit his audience by using the words and logic of Greek philosophers to bolster his case. And he certainly got better results than you're getting.

Nip, real life ain't anything like how it's depicted in Chick tracts. If you feel burdened to evangelize, you need to follow in Paul's footsteps, not make some half-heated attempt and then pretend you've done your duty.

 

[LittleNipper]

LittelNipper,

Do I sense a brother (or sister) in here? If you are, you're brave. Very brave.

Better to be killer than maimed...
