Not precisely, but it's clear from his teachings that unless people repent of their sins (including fornication, adultery, gay sex sin), and receive him for salvation, they're screwed (Luke 13:3, John 3:36, John 14:6, Acts 4:12, Revelation 21:8, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, etc.).
Don't leave earth without him.
I notice with the gospel extracts Jesus doesn't mention sex.
He never approved of gay marriage either.
Jesus is God. As God, Jesus is the one who gave Moses the Levitical law against gay sexual relations to begin with; and he’s the one who inspires all Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16), including prohibitions against gay sexual relations in Romans 1:26-27 and I Corinthians 6:9-10, etc.
It’s also worth noting that Jesus didn’t mention wife beating or other sins such as pedophilia either, and there are not many folks who would argue he approved of those behaviors. So Jesus was under no obligation to reiterate the moral laws against homosexual sin that already existed, unless there were clarifications to be made.
I'm sure if Jesus was here in flesh today he'd say, gay life is not the way to go. It will be an unwholesome life, and you won't be satisfied, but if it's the only way you can have love then ok. I forgive you for hurting yourself.
<facepalm>
The Apostle John wrote it, and not the Baptist. Which shows what you know about it.
Well that's an interesting split. You have far more respect for a faith that you perceive as being far more intolerant, malicious, and bloodthirsty? Do you value those traits?
You get people in the church who abuse sexuality, sure. Christians are sinners who fall prey to temptation just like everyone else. The point, however, was as a matter of belief.
Well enough. Why - however - would you say that?
Oh yes. Because if there is anything that has been just awesome for America, it's the break up of the family. Children of single parents and children of divorce do awesome.
:shrug: well, again, the most conservative churches on this issue are the ones that are more broadly retaining or growing their membership.
Interesting. So your answer is that you can't know until you've done it. Except that that is not a rational construct at all - it is an experiential one, perhaps, though it seems far more emotional. But shouldn't you be able to explain rational reasons why something is good and why you should act good that would be apparent and available to all, if your claims about the nature of morality and reason are correct?
That's interesting - that's not what I've seen at all. The vast majority of the folks who leave are the ones who were fringe / apathetic to begin with.
^ damn son
:lol: yeah. It's 1 am. He's gonna have to wait until tomorrow. Sorry Phys.
and you accuse others of argument of silence.He never approved of gay marriage either.
and you accuse others of argument of silence.
Ha.
6. Tell me one verse, one single verse, where Jesus explicitly said that being LGBT was a sin, or where he explicitly told a clearly LGBT person to "repent."
See post # 202.
Also - you going to repent if he did? Fact is you don't really care, do you? Nothing - absolutely nothing - is going to put a damper on your parade. And don't try to ever tell us different.
Repent? No thanks, man, there's a reason why they call it the Dark Ages. The Enlightenment is more nearly my style.
I wouldn't call it enlightenment. Regressive Sodom and Gomorrah moralism is about as ancient and 'dark ages' as one can get.
As opposed to the people who thought the sun would explode if they weren't allowed to marry...
People are hurting themselves when they refuse Jesus and the Holy Spirit, who can set them free.
Indeed, inhospitality is a pretty grave sin. Jesus made that pretty clear in Matthew 10:14-15.
I don't whine by principle, don't worry.Hey, you guys like it and use it so much I though I'd heave one back at you. And now you're going to whine?
On a government and legal level it's a dead issue. Socially, it never will be, just like racial issues. America never fully grows out of these tired debates.
OK good night sir. :2wave:
