They do? That's not what Jesus said. As between your opinion of what He meant in His parables and His own, I prefer His, thanks.
By their fruit you will know them. Both have eternal life, one to "the kingdom of heaven" and one to eternal hell. OK, then, the believer and those that do as believers do.
"If anything defines the evangelical Christian lifestyle today, it is the desire to replace American democracy with a vaguely defined theocracy in which they alone get to say what people may and may not do, all the while performing the acts they publicly condemn in secret hypocritically."
Can't argue with truth when you finally present it. But, the liberal version of Christian power is that non and anti Christians get to be called Christians and that they get to perfom their sins in public and get cheered on by everyone or else.
Two can play at that game. If that doesn't define you and your Christian friends, consider that maybe what you have to say doesn't define all gay people either.
Obviously, there are Christians that don't act like Christians PER JESUS and, under the surface, are not Christians and likewise, obviously, there are many people caught up in gay life that really are not what they say they are. We have them in our churches.
Yeah. According to you. Including grace or forgiveness or mercy. May He who is our Judge judge you as you judge others.
Liberal theology wipes away grace and forgiveness and replaces it with a new definition of anything goes. If one does not repent, there is no forgiveness of sins. Is that NOT in your theology???
You must have posted this in the wrong place. Because I specifically said I was opposed to wanton sin and sinning,
By redefining it. Calling a baseball bat a toothpick. And then gathering around the teachers to give itching ears what they want to hear. 2000-years of Christian opposition to homosexuality and you think your new movement is going to rule now?
"Look," say the parents as the marching band goes by "my child is the only one in step."
This newly (re) named "LGBT" thing has been here before.
. . . in another post, and spelled out the idea that the "clobber passages" condemn abominable sins in this one. Or is it that this would not fit your desire to twist my words to fit your own lies?
Clobber passages is becoming a factoid. In fact, the entire "Christian movement" we call Apostolic Christianity stands against 21st century liberalism as a matter of prophecy. Or is prophecy old hat as well?
No, DRD4him teaches it exactly opposite the way Jesus and I do.
Prove that. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," has no secular political connotation to it. It does not encourage the licensing of pagan ways and calling them Christian so as to not insult the anti Christian crowd.
Wrong, wrong, and wrong. And I am not even going to bother to refute them.
You can't.
Except to note that a church that shuts out "LGBT" people is also shutting out their Creator and Redeemer.
True, but the church that celebrates sin is one that is just as bad. The same
powers and principalities are at work in them both.
Nice bunch of generalizations. Let's see, there are several gay and Lesbian people posting in this thread. Please name which of them have threatened legal action against you or Phinehas or anyone else who has posted in opposition to them.
Let's see, you do this very thing below . . .
Listen, I can recommend a good remedial Reading for Content class; you apparently need one.
Yet it is you that can't understand the concepts plainly spelled out in the new testament. You have to use new words in place of authentic meanings to get your political power dominating Christians.
This is true. Now, would you be aware of the percentage of 'out' gay people who engage in seducing children and youth, compared to the number of 'good Christians' with a secret letch for kids who do? I think you'll be very surprised at the numbers.
I don't see a difference. I see homosexuality as antithetical to the Gospel. A wolf in sheep's clothing as opposed to a wolf that has discarded the disguise? By their fruit is it not written?
First, this has been soundly refuted, demonstrated to be a slippery slope fallacy, more times even than arsenokoites has been parsed for meaning here.
Refuted??? The liberal positions have been driven back to where they come from sir.The slippery slope is a fact that cannot be hidden. From Moses to John on Patmos, the slippery slope is preached as a warning to God's people of where are enemies are the most lethal. Anytime you wish to debate that please point me to where you want the testing done???? Especially arsenokoitai which is literally a refutation of Paul of the historic LGBT/Humansim/Liberalism movement.
Second, I can give you a concrete refutation: all the major pro-gay lobbying groups and Pride parade organizers have universally denied NAMBLA the right to participate. Why do you think that is?
Out wolves are a terrible thing.
The next time you identify "we Christians" in a way that implies liberal Christians are not Christians, expect to be reported, with a request for an infraction to be imposed if not a ban.
"Implies?" Implies?
History forgotten? And such recent history?
Nice bunch of generalizations. Let's see, there are several gay and Lesbian people posting in this thread. Please name which of them have threatened legal action against you or Phinehas or anyone else who has posted in opposition to them.
We don't get to see our accusers here at CF, nor are we allowed to defend against the chrages we are saddled with. And assuming guilt is not a Christian thing to do. You must judge the truth by what a person says and does.
But you just threatened me.
