Sir, you mistake saint Paul for Holy Scripture. It is holy scripture that has authority for Christians, saint Paul not so much.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

ADMIN HAT ON
This thread had a thorough cleaning, perhaps a little heavy handed, but many posts that were too personal, sniping, or just rude have been removed.
DO NOT Make this thread about homosexuality.

Again, Paul *is* the Scripture with respect to the letters he has written that have been incorporated into "the Scriptures." Nobody should say Paul was sinless--he himself admitted his shorcomings, past and present. But his authority to declare doctrine is unquestionable. Apparently we are discouraged from continuing in discussing how the new Pope views these things?

My view is that in discussing Christian doctrine, including discussion of what is allowed/prohibited, one must have a baseline. And for me that baseline is Scripture, including Paul's Scriptures. But we've been discouraged from pursuing anything beyond this on this thread. So I think it wise to bow out now.

The NT is not obsolete. . .the practice of homosexuality is sin (Ro 1:26-27).
Jesus is clear that the sinner is to turn from his sin (Jn 8:11, do not honor man more than God, 1 Sa 2:29),
and the one who does not turn is to be excluded from the fellowship (1 Co 5:13) until he does (2 Co 2:6-8).
