ah no. Actually, Israel is Israel. NT ecclesia= church... is actually the church. Not Israel. I agree that Chistians are called a people in the New Testament. That does not transform them into Israel, though. Even in the NewTestament, Israel is still Israel. If you're a gentile believer... and...

this is not how it works. You've made a positive claim about sex outside marriage purportedly always being wrong... so the onus is on you to provide some sort of evidence for it. I mean proof that every single type of extra-marital sex is indeed fornication

look I am neutral to that one. I just let it stay there. I happen to be straight, but if I had a different view on the matter... this is how I would be treated on this board: post #17 says that everyone disagreeing with mainstream interpretation on that passage... "is just looking for an excuse...

according to you. Again, no Bible to back this up.

well that's according to you and your reading of said passage. I'm neutral with regard to that one. But those who hold a different view on that matter (or that passage) are not allowed to present their views here. These are the community standards of CF. It simply does not make sense to debate...

no she just had sex and it was ok, I think. Exodus 20:14 does not mention "exclusivity". I don't find it in there.

so you're basically saying: all sex besides marriage is adultery because it violates sexual exclusivity. You're reading this into it, I think. Yes, a man shall be joined to his wife. But I don't see anything about exclusivity here. Remember Tamar who had sex without wedlock in Genesis 38:18. She...

I'm neutral to whether or not homosexuality is sin. For a simple reason: 1) If I thought it is sin... I would join the ranks of those who currently post derogatory remarks against gays and lesbians comparing them to rapists, for instance... 2) If I thought it was not sin ... this would...

quite off topic here... but since you brought the issue up: I think Israel is Israel. The church is the church. Don't mess them up. Your passage is talking about Issac's spiritual descendants... who says he has but one line of (spiritual) descent. It's conjecture, I think.

but you do it all the time, it seems... * Headers in soccer: Players who reported the most headings had the poorest performance on functional tasks known to be affected by brain injury, the authors note. The effect on memory was “borderline,” however, they add. see here LINK * heterosexual...

so, the moment a tissue starts bleeding more and and more germs get spread... a particular activity is prohibited by nature? Can't believe it.

In the Bible, every mentioned dream comes directly from God (or other higher forces). Psychologist Andy Thomson provides another explanation: the brain makes them itself. I'm sure this explanation makes great sense. Bible makes great sense also. In my opinion, you are left with two perfect...

Had to think about your post for while... You cite homosexuality in one line with addiction... Actually, you're posting in a thread highly charged with homophobic remarks. We've seen homosexuals being under the suspicion of being possessed by demons, post #84. We've also seen the claim of...

This is child abuse you're talking about or alluding to. This thread, however, is about homosexuality. Stay on topic? quote abriged. I'm quite surprised to read this here. Many people from within Christianity say quite the opposite... I'm not quite sure about this, though. I'm rather...

Arguing from a human standpoint, choosing to not know something can make great sense. Even if had the opportunity I would prefer to not know everything. This is just my personal preference. But again, this is not the topic of the thread, I think. There is a difference between mass extinction...

God willingly not knowing all. If He actually chose to not know all, is not a matter of discussion in this thread, though. I know from experience that these sorts of discussions can be endless. all will die, BTW. Henoch did not. Jesus resurrected. That's something. During the flood, God chose...

honestly, I don't support God's all-time omnicience. I agree with @dcalling, your discussion partner from the other thread. There is no Bible verse that indicated that God always was omniscient. God has the power to know all, though. However, knowing that 99% of my fellow brothers and sisters...

It's a thread about homosexuality. Other posters used these kinds of wording, too. Did you know? Homosexuals can't reply giving their view on the matter.* Speaking about them using these sorts of disparaging remarks when they can't express their views freely... is like beating people who can't...

You' re quoting it. Here, the translation your dictionary uses is flawed, in my opinion. The word means what it means: men lying in bed with men, see link above. The word says what it says. The rest is pure conjecture such as "degenerate" or "pervert", in contrast... BTW I still stay neutral to...

No. It's a flawed one. Literal would be good. The word you translated as "Sodomite" literally means "men who bed with men", see here LINK. Sodom isn't mentioned in this word. Sodom has to do with rape. It's a story of attempted rape (Genesis 19:5) that did not stop until the angels used...
