That is a creepy yet defining statement "for our times."
OBVIOUSLY, there are any number of scriptures (teachings from 2000+ years ago) that would not be applicable for we today of our particular culture. It really DOES stand to reason, Polycarp_fan, come on! The 'creepy' thing is that you would seem to prefer a culture that commands you 'not to seethe a kid in its mother's milk (Deuteronomy 14:21)'. You know, I can't remember the last time that I was tempted to boil a kid in its mother's milk.
Not marriage though. Also, gay sex "for believers" was opposed for good reasons by the Apostles.
You know what? You keep saying the same thing over and over again as to the Apostles apparently having debated this particular issue among themselves and having decreed that it ('gay' sex) is a grave sin. There is NO such evidence in the scriptures that such a debate EVER took place and CERTAINLY NOT in regard to the main gist of this subforum which refers NOT to sexual promiscuity but to one's inate sexual orientation and, much of the time, committed 'gay' relationships. If anything, there are one or two scriptures made by one or two individuals that COULD be making reference to certain aspects of same-sex sex but the facts are that NO ONE KNOWS precisely WHAT they mean! They are speculative and CERTAINLY open to interpretation. You are using deception here, Polycarp_fan, to bolster your own agenda.
Agenda? Hmmm ...where have I heard that word before ...?
The world and its ways has embraced gay sex, the world and its ways does not trump the Church on anything.
While I realize that this IS a subforum that concerns itself with homosexuality, would you say that you're overly obsessed with this issue, Polycarp_fan? Would you say that the so-called 'other' abominations to God, such as lying, profaning the Sabbath, etc. etc. are FAR less 'grave' than what you believe homosexuality to be? You really do appear to have an unhealthy focus on one's sexual preferences and I can't help but wonder why. I'll go out on a limb here and say that it has NOTHING to do with the Bible. Am I correct?
Jesus and the Apostles disagree with your position on many things that have now been forced into the Church, that they fought against and gave their lives for.
Such as having discarded the Creation Sabbath and replaced it with a RCC 'holy' day', for instance?
Jesus said that there would be people that would alter the faith for personal feelings and false teachings "Wolves in sheep's clothing, NOT sparing the flock." The Apostles expounded on that reality. It was the cause for their writing what they did.
Do you know that what you stated above has NOTHING to do with homosexuality? Not to mention the fact that you persistently tend to give the scriptures your own personal slant and make then say what YOU want them to say. If anything, I would suggest that you be careful how fanatical you become on this issue. A 'wolf in sheep's clothing' would more aptly describe a malicious person in a harmless or benevolent disguise. This is NOT a homosexual. Nor is it someone who is defending another for a sexual orientation that they never asked for.
Be careful what you post, Polycarp_fan, or it could come back to bite you.
