Sorry, but you are dead wrong there, Halo.


Erm.. no Im not. (back and forth we go!)




I would like to suggest you get the audio story on DVD by John Bevere, called "Affabel". It is a tremendous account of Judgment Day.

Im extremely sceptical of the charismatic/pentecostal movement that Mr.Bevere is part of, I feel the books etc published seem to increasingly be used as a form of spiritual manipulation. No offense to yourself there of course FA it's just my personal stance.

As you reject the truth of the Word of God, you can only use excuses to position yourself. God sees through that.




Of course you are! Biblically-based works are a terror, aren't they?

This may come as a shock to you, Floatingaxe, but NONE of what you say above can be verified. You can refer to 'the Holy scriptures', 'God's word', 'His truth', etc. etc. but you CANNOT prove that the Bible is any more than the words of men. You ask someone to use the scriptures to PROVE that the scriptures are the truth or false ...now, if that isn't circular reasoning I don't know what is. Do you not realize how silly that is?

I'm not saying that the Bible is not the word of God but I'm not saying that it is either. I just DON'T KNOW whether it's the word of God and neither do you. All I DO know is that God sure didn't write the Bible and there is absolutely no way YOU can prove that He did. At the end of the day all of your scriptural rant is really quite useless and even annoying to some people who don't rely simply on blind faith as you do. They require hard evidence. This does not make them bad people. Understand?

The gospel is offensive to the world.

No, I am proclaiming the Gospel, your antinomism notwithstanding.

I am no antinomian. I recognize the proper use of the Law and its distinction from the Gospel. The Law condemns. The Gospel liberates. Which are you doing?

Also, if we're going to charge one another with various heresies, what's up with the quote from Arius?

In can read the Greek, I am well read on the topic, and homoeroticism is condemned in no uncertain terms. That is a fact, and it is not going away because it makes liberals pout.
So the reason scholars translated arsenokoites as ‘masturbation’ for centuries was because they went as smart as you?

It is not a source of pride or shame. I was simply reporting the results of the quiz.
and just like scoreing as a racist...it is nothing to take pride in

If any one says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen. 1 John 4:20

Ive reponded to this verse so many times till im blue in the face. Homosexual = 20th century word, not possible for it to be a word used in the Bible, especially when previous non 20th century editions indicated mastabation as the sin here.
It is very sad that in order to embrace and glorify prejudice so many people have to reject the truth

Obviously we disagree on this one. I have spoken to many Muslims and Many Eastern Christians about this and without fail they all claim that while the word may be the same, they do not worship the same God.

As for loving our neighbor I'm not sure what the definition of homophobia is, so I obviously cannot comment but the point I was making was even if I disagree with you, which we have established I do, I still have the privilege of loving you. Indeed not only privilege, but responsibility.

May I ask what you find is unloving? Surely disagreeing with you cannot be construed as unloving can it?

Hypocrite? Right. Pentagram speaks volumes.
Que?

Anyhoo...I have spoken no error regarding Christianity.
This entire thread seems to be devoted to people showing you your error. That you can hold your fingers in your ears for so long is staggering. I'd be impressed, if it weren't so childish.

You do not apprehend the true nature of Christianity, so you do not rightly perceive where the error lies.

Oh, I'm afraid they do actually Brennin.

But onwards, the word 'Homosexual' was not coined until the 1820s so it could NOT have been used as a translation of 'Arsenkoites.' It was translated as 'Abusers of themselves', ie masturbation. As for your references Brennin, what were they and are they peer-reviewed?
