No, I am not talking about a computer.
Consider my figurative use of the word "beast" and think not that my words in my previous post are for you alone, circuitrider. I have other issues with my local church(s). There is acceptance that homosexuality is a sin but an unwillingness to teach truth publicly due to PC concerns.
But I can see how you would presume that I single you out considering that it is you that takes the lead in coming against those you deem "conservative" and lack "modern understanding". Funny how you say you are against censorship but practice a form of censorship yourself, though you would deny it. Figuratively speaking, you have black lines blackening out this and that in your Bible. I have seen it again and again by you. Also, I see a type of bullying by you and others that leads to further censorship. You did it on this very thread, here:
And he said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” ~ Mark 4:9
Yes, now what do you expect that we would hear? So you've not actually said anything.
I understood exactly what my sibling in Christ was saying before you pushed him off your playground. This was condescending and without love. Then comes the pile on - or maybe it is a burial. It is a pattern throughout your section of the playground. So, no one wants to come around. Then you and yours alone have the bullhorn and can say false things like this:
And it will be faster than most people think for nearly everyone but a few small enclaves of conservative Christians whose polity would actually allow them to enforce such views.
Yes, that is false. Sorry brother. I am just making observations here. Black-glass pulpits, playgrounds, beasts, and cherries aside, what does the "True Vine" say about the subject at hand:
“Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”
Thrice I have done this. And twice Christ mentions one man and one woman.... This you and others will ignore, right along with other scriptures DIRECTLY related to homosexuality and the UMC Book of Discipline which states clearly that homosexuality is incompatible with the Christian life style. But I better understand the beast now and know this matters not to you and some. I only come and say this because I do not like the false perception that the UMC believes that homosexuality is NOT a sin - except for the old people awaiting the grave as said before, along with the brown and black Methodists of far away and uncivilized lands.
I am glad you think my art is cute. To me it is worship, like a song, and it is also my horse.
