The historical and patristic Christian worldview is black and white. Good and evil, right and wrong. It was never tempered with arguements such as "but it feels so right" or "I could really feel the spirit move me". Read the case of the Cathars at Albi. They even called themselves "Bonnes Chritians", literally, good christians. Their elders were called Prefecti, or The Perfect, because they so humbly followed what they preached. And what they preached was forbidding of marriage and childbirth, acceptance of fornication, and forced ritualistic suicide. This cult was condemned by the Church and rightful expunged from Europe. However, many revisionist Christians are looking at the Albigensians as an example of "persecuted Christians who were just doing what the spirit led them to do", which in plain terms, was openly defy the the teachings of Christ.I disagree, our worldview is inferior and has been slowly degrading over time.
9Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
Sure God can. That doesn't mean you don't interpret it yourself, though.So you are saying you don't believe in the Holy Spirit's interpretation? You don't believe that God can open our eyes and the scriptures to them?
You'll kindly refrain from putting words into my mouth from this point forward. My manner will be far less cordial the next time it happens.If I were you, only awknowledging the matereal and not the spiritual of the bible
Why not? o you eat shellfish? Do you wear underwear with elastic and cotton in it?Even if one accepts the lie that the Law doesn't matter anymore, it still doesn't constitute a valid argument as to how that equates with God blessing homosexual acts.
Care to place a small wager? $10 says he's wearing undies right nowYeah, I'm really curious now to find out if Full_Moon follows those laws or not.
But you do that anyway. Unless you have somehow developed the ability to read books with your eyes closed. And without the use of language. But since you can do neither of these things, you are forced to acknowledge that despite how much it may injure your position, you interpret the Bible every time you pick it up.
(following my interpretation)But you do that anyway

14However, I admit that I worship the God of our fathers as a follower of the Way, which they call a sect. I believe everything that agrees with the Law and that is written in the Prophets, 15and I have the same hope in God as these men, that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked. 16So I strive always to keep my conscience clear before God and man.
Are you under the law, and which law are you under?You guys are hilarious. Are you saying if I don't adhere to all levitical laws then I am a hypocrite for quoting Jesus and calling them all valid?
In order to adhere to all the laws I would have to be perfect in understanding and deed. I am neither perfect in understanding nor deed.
So why do you ask if I adhere to all the laws? Must I perfectly love my neighbor in order to repeat God's command that we do so?
Must I be perfect in order to repeat God's command that we are to be perfect?
Why do you ask me if I follow all the law?
But I will quote Paul in my answer, Acts 24
Shall finding a speck of dirt on my underpants justify your sins?
If you find one fault with me, does that nullify God's righteousness?
The Law is good.
Well, pretty much, yeah... if you don't adhere to Levitical law, who are you to criticise anyone else for not adhering to Levitical law... in fact, thats a pretty good definition of what a hypocrit is!You guys are hilarious. Are you saying if I don't adhere to all levitical laws then I am a hypocrite for quoting Jesus and calling them all valid?
I'd take that bet if I weren't relatively sure that I'd come out $10 poorer on the other side.Care to place a small wager? $10 says he's wearing undies right now

Well, its just you seem pretty affronted when we criticise your evil, underpant wearing behaviour, yet at the same time, see nothing wrong with criticising the homosexual behaviour of others...Do you see me denying the goodness and validity of the law?
When people say "the law"Do you think Christians are bound by the Law?
