Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.

These words have been used to forbid divorce

That didn’t work too well


Jesus told the Pharisees that God allowed them divorce because the were a “Stiff Necked” people.

Jesus didn't have to condemn homosexuality. He never condemned prostitution either.

If we look at the story of the Woman at the Well, what did Jesus do? He never condemned. He forgave her of her sins, and told her to "go and sin no more."

That same example is directly applicable to all sinners, whether prostitutes, homosexuals, or whatever.

Go and sin no more.

He condemned it when He handed down the Ten Commandments.

It seems that the Apostle Paul writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit wrote: Romans 1:18-27

For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.

So with that, I am unsure of what you mean.

God is most glorified in saving the worst of sinners.
I thank God He preached to this pig, saved me from my sin, and put a new song in my heart.

Know 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,
1 Corinthians 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
1 Corinthians 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

Great article.. Apologetics Press has many learned bible scholars who write good articles on creation, evolution, bible history, etc. Dave Miller is one and I have his book The Silencing of God. It shows the history of how atheists, politicians have removed God from America’s founding, or is attempting too. The men @the A. Press have degrees in theology and either science or history. Two of them go to church with me and both work for NASA as chemical and nuclear scientists. There seminars on creation vs evolution are very good. We used to go to church with Kyle Butt until we moved. He is one of the best speakers on Bible history. Ping to you sloth, you might want to send this to your ping list.

The person who presumes to claim to be a Christian, and yet supports homosexuality, misunderstands the teachings of Christ...

And I'll add to that, that they also have no understanding of who Christ actually is. Those who suppose that the condemnation of homosexuality came only from the God of the Old Testament are in for a surprise, because Christ is the God of the Old Testament.

Wise course.

But between you and me, he’s ignorant of this -

2 Thes 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

“Are we to suppose that the Son of God condoned using crystal meth because there is not an explicit statement from Jesus’ mouth that says “do not smoke crystal meth?” The idea that silence from Jesus on a subject means He approved of or condoned the practice cannot be substantiated. “

And as is pointed out in the article, the Bible says no fornication, no adultery, ya gotta be married to have sex. Men can’t marry each other, nor can females, so no gay sex. Period. End of discussion.

Jesus said many times that when you see me you see the Father- in other words they are one and the same in there ways of thought.. It can be debated that one of the 3 angles that went to sodom and gomorrah was jesus

Jesus said the only valid reason for divorce is marital infidelity (Matthew 19:8-9).

Turning Sodom into a smoking crater isn’t condemnation?

The stupid argument I get from Lib Christians is that is was the act of "inhospitality" that condemned them. *Snort*
