What do you mean? What is different about the "lust" as you sneeringly put it of LGBTs as opposed to that of heterosexuals? What makes you think it is any different at all? Myabe your relationship is primarily motivated by lust, but those of most hets and most homos is not.
That was to point out the non-Christ honoring idea of homosexuals coupling. I still wouldn't treat them any different than the heterosexual couple. People are people. I'm kinda point out error with two homosexuals just as I would with heterosexuals.
It can be motivated by whatever they choose. Love on. But when those acts that God says are to not take place start taking place, they will be called sin just as His Word says they are.
Ah, so then you are saying the loving relatio nships of LGBT couples are just as good as those of heterosexual couples, then?
Then perhaps the best course of action for you is to cease exercising judgment against LGBTs as you have in your posts here.
That's your decision. If there's a coworker marying someone of the same gender you will then be contributing just as much for the office gift as you would if they were heterosexual and marrying then?
You don't "have" to tell the LGBTs that either. To do so is conscious decision which is at essence an antisocial act.
Wow... that's an extremely narrow way of looking at things. How about living a celibate life and glorifying God in happiness and love???
You mean, trivialise the lust they feel for each other?
How're you going to do that? Just wag your finger at same gender couples holding hands?
I don't have to. God hasn't given a prohibition against loving anyone.
Then perhaps the best course of action is for you to cease pushing that lie that I have exercised judgment against LGBTS. I have spoken to the ACTS. So once again, either put up proof or retract your lie.
Nope. Heterosexuals can enter a God ordained marriage covenant. Homosexuals cannot. So don't plan on seeing me endorse anything that GOD does not.
In accordance with God's Word, I do. Read your Bible.
18 When I say to a wicked man, 'You will surely die,' and you do not warn him or speak out to dissuade him from his evil ways in order to save his life, that wicked man will die for [a] his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. 19 But if you do warn the wicked man and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his evil ways, he will die for his sin; but you will have saved yourself.
20 "Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and does evil, and I put a stumbling block before him, he will die. Since you did not warn him, he will die for his sin. The righteous things he did will not be remembered, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. 21 But if you do warn the righteous man not to sin and he does not sin, he will surely live because he took warning, and you will have saved yourself." Ezekiel 3:18-21
2 Timothy 3:16
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
2 Timothy 4:2
Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encouragewith great patience and careful instruction.
So I don't know what it is that YOU think God has called us to correct and rebuke if not sin.
By doing as God commands. Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encouragewith great patience and careful instruction 2 Timothy 4:2
So if you take issue with me correcting wrong behavior as it presents itself, take your complaint to God in prayer.
Take it to God in prayer. Every sin invoves an ACT because every sin is an ACT of disobedience.
Ah, so you have changed your position.
Such "acts" are private matters which are not your concern.
You are incapable of knowing what God endorses or not. He doesn't endorse political candidates either BTW.
You cannot determine another's qualifications for marriage.
None of these passages are applicable to the subject matter.
It is not your place to seek to have "wrong behavior" presented to yourself.
Surely others' relationships are not of your concern.
I pray for your reconciliation and deliverance from the judging of others. I pray you learn to look in the mirror and not out the window.
If a husband is beating his wife inside the home, is it my concern?
It is not your place to involve yourself in others' struggles.
You are not qualified to judge others as you do here.
If a husband and wife are engaging in BSDM inside the home, is it your concern?
What about if they are engaging in "Christian domestic discipline?" Is that your concern?
I don't encourage people to discipline themselves in accordance with anything but the FULL COUNSEL of GOD's WORD.
Zaac, would you say that being a Bible fanatic reduces one's ability to see the bigger picture since they view the world through a narrow 'black and white' lens? Would you say that being a Bible fanatic creates a situation where one might be led to disengage their God-given reasoning abilities by replacing same with 'religious words'? Would you say that being a Bible fanatic might be fraught with danger since it becomes a form of mind control?
Would you say that you're a Bible fanatic, Zaac?
I would say that being called a Bible fanatic is a compliment. It is the Word of God. And like the Psalmist, I love God's Word.
What I would say is that folks who don't stand on God's Word as given in His Holy Bible are always confused and constantly trying to justify sin for one cause or another.
Life is so much simpler when you trust God and the Word He has given in His Holy Bible as absolute.
The problem is that the 'negatives' I mentioned also apply to Bible fanatics.
It is NOT a compliment, Zaac. And, you know what? . . .I feel that I was prompted by God to post what I posted.
Do you consider your holier-than-thou attitude to be "loving your neighbor"? Your self-righteousness isn't for the good of others, it's only for yourself.36"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" 37Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'[c] 40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments. Matthew 22:36-40
If I love my neighbor as myself, why would I concern myself with my struggles while not concerning myself with my neighbor's struggles? Do you ever say anything that is in accordance with God's Word, or are all your responses based in emotion?
2Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases? 3Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life!
You aren't a Saint.1 Cor. 6:2-3
