Flash forward nearly a couple thousand years, and God the Son still abhors sin - but He shows His mercy: 'Go and Sin nor more' is what He told the woman caught in adultery.
So it was good for Manny to highlight the heinousness of the sin of homosexuality - but He also should have highlighted that God is merciful. God the Son, Lord Jesus, came to save sinners. The time to repent is now. If not, there will be a final accounting for those willful sinners that will make the stonings of the Old Testament seem like mild wedgies.
Good comment. Manny missed the oportunity to point to Christ as saviour. That, is what he did wrong.
This is the true gospel that saves.
People have been engaging in bible muddle for centuries, and this was even an American practice.
What kind of galls me is that some of the founders who called for draconian punishments on homosexual adulterers also had chattel slaves... amounting to kidnaping which was also a capital crime under Old Testament law.
The older I get, the more versed in the scriptures I get, and the more I reflect, the more I really see what a morass of hypocrisy we arose in, and that’s just plain truth... the liberals didn’t invent this, they only cruelly exploited the situation.
This also explains why Donald Trump is such a sensation. He is wrong sometimes, but he tends to be anti-lying and anti-hypocrisy. He’s a citizen upstart, you see, with his own independent ideas and not all are in lockstep with the political set and their own fantasy ideal country.
There’s only one true answer and that is a wholehearted embrace of Jesus in New Testament principles.
