That was yesterday. This is today.

These boogersnots are already welcome in some churches. Why can’t they let the SBC be?

[bgill]

Sure, right after we remove murder from the sin list.

[miserare]

Like...did you look crosseyed at your mother-iin-law? But wait... say ten Hail Marys and you are off the hook!😜🙀

between Jesus and John “the disciple whom Jesus loved”.

They can't tell the difference between agape and eros, or is everything about (weird, kinky) sex with them?

Because they can't let any affront to their self-righteousness to unchallenged.

I have really strong friends/allies from the SBC who have worked together with us Catholics over the years on these life/family issues. I love them. They have my maximum respect.

Homosexuality, in the sense of being so attracted isn’t a sin. It’s the behavior that is a sin. It’s often the behavior that caused the attraction that was a sin - albeit often originally as a victim.

queers and trannies are hell bound

[Neoliberalnot]

Perhaps the male rimmers and coprophiles should stop calling normal people that are disgusted by fecal obsession homophobes.

[DannyTN]

Oh I agree with you.

If one focuses only on the law or a list of sins, they’ve missed the whole purpose of what God is trying to do, which is to redeem us.

But to change the activities that scripture points out as sin, to placate someone’s lustful desires, would be dishonest. And doing so isn’t likely to get that person any closer to recognizing that they need Jesus.

And that the person want’s us to be dishonest about what scripture calls sin, doesn’t indicate a desire to repent, but rather to avoid conviction.

I’ll bet it doesn’t happen

But they won’t ask Muslims to change THEIR beliefs.

[shanover]

We have to admit that most American institutions and growing segments of society are now infiltrated. It was all by design and we allowed ourselves to be lied to.

But they won’t ask Muslims to change THEIR beliefs.

Would be interesting watching these fops protest in front of a busy mosque making the same demands of their koran beliefs.

Are they talking about homosexuality, or identifying oneself as homosexual, or homosexual activity? The notion of someone being homosexual is a modern thing. When the Bible was written there were no homosexuals, there was only homosexual acts. That is what God condemns.

[ealgeone]

2359 Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection.

That's about the biggest bunch of nothing I've read.

A call to chastity?? No appeal to repent??

Inner freedom?? Sounds like a bunch of New Age feel goodism.

No wonder the RCC has a homosexual problem in its midst.

You should have just appealed to Romans 1 or any other of the passages that deal with this issue.

But, as with all things Roman Catholic, it is not surprising not to find an appeal to the Word.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Everybody needs to repent, of course: each and every one of us. But in this document, I think homosexual (n.) is used as a category of persons with a preponderant homosexual tendency ---a temptation pattern --- not necessarily an active sodomite who is out there acting on lust in thought, word and deed.

One doesn't have to repent of an unchosen homosexual attraction, any more than one has to repent for an unchosen attraction toward intellectual pride, material wealth or another man's wife/ Note the word "unchosen." In other words, I'm talking about temptation, and temptation is not a sin per se. It's an innate weakness which inclines one towards particular sins. These innate weaknesses are consequences of Original Sin, and they afflict everybody, albeit in different ways, because we all bear a damaged human nature.

So we all face lifetime struggles against innate tendencies. I sure do. That's why we need grace from God, and mercy.

A call to chastity is a call to repent unchastity, if you have been guilty of that sin.

LGBT advocates (as distinguished from people who merely feel same-sex attractions) -- are highly offended by the Catechism's description of the tendency itself as "objectively disordered," and the acts themselves as "intrinsically disordered" and of "grave depravity."

This is not New Age feel-goodism. This is objective moral truth.

[Mrs. Don-o]

The teaching of the Catechism is based on Scripture. The particular Scriptures cited are Gen 191-29; Rom 124-27; 1 Cor 6:10; 1 Tim 1:10.

I apologize for not including the Scriptures cited in this paragraph.

[Mrs. Don-o]

The particular Scriptures cited are Gen 1:91-29; Rom 1:24-27; 1 Cor 6:10; 1 Tim 1:10.

Sorry for the typos in the previous post.
