Just curious and I ask this of a lot of "christians"..... why do you believe you are an authority on "god's" word? Because the spectrum of justifications and beliefs are wide and it's difficult to pinpoint who to believe what the actual message is and apply it to current day problems. Just curious.
Temptation is never sin. Proof: Jesus was tempted, and yet did not sin.
Even homosexual temptation is not sin unless the person gives in in their mind and decides they will do it. At that moment they have failed the temptation, and have sinned in their heart irregardless of whether the actual sin in the real comes true or not.
I only know what I know, and I've only read what I've read. I am not perfect and I am sometimes wrong. I encourage anyone to read for themselves and decide for themselves. I can certainly disagree with others and they can disagree with me.
I actually agree with you here. I often see Christians teaching something that the bible itself specifically and clearly teaches otherwise. Again, I encourage anyone to open up the bible and see what it says for themselves. There are a lot of things like "all sins are the same" that people say that as Ethan suggested above, are merely incorrect notions that have no actual place in scripture and scripture never teaches...
If you lust after a woman in your heart, and don't act on that lust, that's still a sin isn't it? A sin of the mind?
As a man speaketh with his mouth, so is he. It's not what goes into a man's mouth that defiles but what comes out. We don't need dirty talk on here. We love you Clay, but clean it up.
Yeah…I think you missed my point, because you just reiterated it. Either that or you’re just adding to it in agreement.
I'm a wondering if it's OK to say this is causing my head to hurt.
Snowflakes and Global Warming.
I'm also wondering if it's Ok to say that I'm confused....

That’s a good question, but it’s not very relevant. When considering the entirety of the Bible, it cannot concluded in good faith that homosexual acts are not sinful (assuming a belief, as the Bible teaches, that the Bible is true and God doesn’t change). The Bible is so unequivocal about this issue that any other conclusion is clear evidence that someone has an ulterior motive and is a false teacher.
Of course there was a time when being born with an X and a Y chromosome and a penis meant you were male. So if we’re basing things on the post-modern concept of “truth” you could say the Bible says homosexuality is good and cisgenderism is sin. But that wouldn’t make it truth. Let’s just stick to reality.
chances are your DI encountered a person or two who was gay, or maybe even liked to wear dresses. Whether the DI knew this, or not, is unclear.
As for the rest of it, well change is never easy and there are always some who resist. There was a time when captain kirk kissing lieutenant uhura was considered borderline scandalous to the point where NBC executives, worried about the response, ordered two versions of the scene be shot. One with and one without a kiss.
Now days we wouldn't even bat an eye, though i do know a mixed race family here in town who have had a good ol' boy or two try to lecture them about the mixing of the races, so maybe things are moving fast enough.
