I read up to about post 400. CCF never said Rudolph was a hero, you twisted what he said to make it sound as though he claimed he was.
He apparently advocates that homosexuality should be made a capital crime, as indeed it used to be in many states, and often in history.
I don't advocate it a capital crime, unless a homosexual uses an underage boy (or girl). All child molestation should warrant the death penalty.
Yeah, that one worked. Disturbing. Thanks for the link. I don't even know what to say. I hope I am taking it wrong. We (and they) have little hope when so many err with acceptance, indifference and/or excuses and then others err by wanting to stone them to death. Where oh where is the true Christian message? I think Alan Keyes articulates it pretty well, and you see what he gets for it. Values have turned upside-down, and we are one confused culture. Sad!
You are absolutely correct. For what it is worth, I have a nephew who is a doctor and he tells me that less than 5% of the doctors in the U.S. will perform an abortion. Being a Christian he refuses to perform the proceedure even though he is well skilled to do so.
Coulter Fan on Eric Rudolph, who bombed abortion clinics and passersby at the Atlanta Olympics:
COLTER FAN: "you'll ask me if I think Rudoplh is a hero because he set off a bomb or two? If someone had assassinated Hitler early on, would you say that person is a criminal or a hero?"
When I asked him if he supported the violence of Eric Rudolph and James Kopp, Coulter Fan stated:
COULTER FAN: "extreme circumstances require extreme actions"
Your interpretation totally overanalyzed what was stated.
There are no "good" sinners or "bad" sinners.....sin is sin. We must humble ourselves as to not think we are any better than another because of "their" sin. The first shall be last and the last shall be first. Pride goeth before the fall.
The topic was homosexuality, so the sin of homosexuality is what applies. If you want to change the topic, then we can change who is guilty and who is innocent in that context. It serves no one to blur the lines on any given sin. Homosexuals are giulty of that sin in deed and in heart. They should pray that God search their hearts and clean their hearts of that sin as with other sins. When they emerge spouting out to the world how wronged they've been, forgive me if I don't believe they've really repented. Stop telling people who are innocent of homosexuality that they need to not be repulsed. It serves no one, not even the homosexual. They need to feel ashamed of that sin, and they need to see how it is particularly harmful to all of society. They should feel bad about their part in it and seek to support the idea that it is wrong, not tame it.
Peace to you.
This text is important for several reasons. It affirms that homosexuals and other unrepentant sinners have no place in God's kingdom (which must include heaven in its meaning). Also, people who come to Christ are expected to change from their past evil behavior and identity by the power of Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Finally, the same term occurs in 1 Timothy 1:8-10 where Paul deals with what is unlawful, ungodly and unholy (using legal, religious and moral categories). This suggests that homosexual behavior is a proper object of restriction by the law, faith, and public morality. --Dr. James B. DeYoung, author of Homosexuality: Contemporary Claims Examined in Light of the Bible and Other Ancient Literature and Law
It is in Europe, and Canada, and of course many radical leftists in the United States are pushing for such measures, which are in place at universities and colleges all over the country through Speech Codes and enforced with Sensitivity Training that has in cases forced students to watch hardcore homosexual pornography, then taping them for any signs of being disgusted (turning their head, closing their eyes, or anything), and and using that to condemn them for their intolerance and so forth.
What you call "passion," the Bible calls lust, sin, and abomination. When you say you can't "criticize," the Bible says you should reproof, correction, and instruction of righteousness. As for those agendas that you see as being more dangerous, I'd be happy to debate just the opposite.
That is horrible. If kids are going to go to universities then they should go to those where this is not happening. They may far and few between but they're out there. Even college on line...there's a few of those too.
Mr. Brightside is a provocateur, and hes a particular bothersome ankle biter. He rejects Moses, the Law, and ultimately God.
ZoeB is clearly versed in the arguments made by radical feminists by intellectual hoaxes such as "Women's Sudies."
I'm absolutely in favor of strengthening Judeo-Christian values, but I realize that in a toxic culture driven by hedonism that it may come as shock to people such as yourself. The Old Testament make up about three-quarters of the bible and Christ said he was here to fulfill that law. -Post 48 to Mr. Brightside
So killing homosexuals and kids who curse their parents would "strengthen Judeo-Christian values. --Mr. Brightside's reply
Can your BS... --DBeers response to Mr. Brightside
I suggest not feeding the trolls... --DBeers advice about Mr Brightside
Christ said, "...'many are called but few are chosen." The problem is that the world is full of sin and you have no understanding of the Law. It is therefore pointless for me to answer that question - perhaps you should try a reading of the Book of Revelation. --My reply to NJ_agent
To assume, in this context, that Jesus suddenly starts rejecting the moral regulations of torah is a little short of astonishing, especially in view of how the section begins ("Think not that I have come to abolish the law. . . . Whosoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments . . ."-vv. 17-18). --My reply to Northeastern_Realist
"For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them."(Book of Romans, Chapter 1, Verses 26-32.)
They are worthy of death, yes. --Post 110
If you don't need man-made laws to carry out your plan, what are you waiting for? Or have you started already? --Mr Brightside's reply to me
Are you saying God was "crazy," are you saying Christ was "crazy," or are you saying Moses was "crazy." I think profaning the Lord is "crazy." Are you going to report to the Romans?
Matthew 5:10-12 - Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. --My Reply
I believe Ward Churchill and a great many college professors in America say things, which are far more of an outrage than what this man has said. --My reply to Awestruck
The only reason it is considered "lunacy," is because the marketing of evil and the selling of corruption has degenerated to such an all time low that homosexuals are being ordained by "christian churches," the homosexual bishop in New Jersey went as far as to suggest Christ was a sodomite, and there was a play in Boston depicting Christ as a queer. That's lunacy! --My reply to Unam Sanctam
You don't understand, because Moses, the gave us God's law and he require a penalty of death for sodomites and he said there blood was upon their head. --Post 151
The Bible command us repeatedly to judge righteously - not hypocritically. The "Judge not" is part of the false doctrine of apostate church's like Rick Warren's Saddleback church. --Search4Truth on Post 152
No one here wants to go out and kill homosexuals! You are taking Coulter Fan out of context. The discussion is... IS IT A CAPITAL OFFENSE TO GOD? And IF it is then God requires THE STATE to be the sword for God's judgment. --ALWAYSWELDING to Mr Brightside
Must I repeat that Moses, in the LAW, said they are to be put to death, must I point out there severity of the sin through the destruction of Sodom, and must I quote the Apostle Paul a third time about how such sinners are worthy of death? Would you then say that we must ban the Bible and Christianity? As for saying I should be reported, I cite Matthew 5:10-12, and I don't believe your serious at all about the faith. --My Post - 160
Frugal questions...you'll no more answer me about your toleration of mass murder (Abortion), but you'll ask me if I think Rudoplh is a hero because he set off a bomb or two? If someone had assassinated Hitler early on, would you say that person is a criminal or a hero? --
I read CCF's comment about Rudolph and I don't think he was calling him a hero. It's a pretty unclear post with some sarcasm, not clear to me anyway. --ALWAYSWELDING to Mr Brightside
This is where I must suffer you...you took my statement out of context - "...but you'll ask me if I think Rudoplh is a hero because he set off a bomb or two?" I didn't declare him a "hero." The point I was driving at was I don't regard him as a hero because he set off a bomb or two - only to wonder in the Mountains of my state, N.C. This is a creation owed entirely unto you...from the forked tongue you created this entire discussion of Rudolph...although you seem content with the mass murder when it is called abortion. --My Reply - Post 292
No, this false. I never said, "that Eric Rudolph is a hero, on par with someone who would have assasinated Hitler." I respond to this tangent with a question...that ended with me asking why he'd ask me if I thought Rudolph was a "hero" because he set off a bomb or two...clear sarcasm while he consistently refuses to deal with the abortion holocaust...although he writes letters to the death camps. --Post 302
This was my reply to the dim bulb - "Frugal questions...you'll no more answer me about your toleration of mass murder (Abortion), but you'll ask me if I think Rudoplh is a hero because he set off a bomb or two? If someone had assassinated Hitler early on, would you say that person is a criminal or a hero?" Of course...he took it out of context, and did a Michael Moore, chopped of the question mark, and started at "I think" as falsely claim that I was calling Rudolph a "hero." What about - "Thou shalt not lie?" --Post 305
No, he asked me if I thought Eric Rudolph as a hero and I responded sarcastically asking him why he'd ask me if I thought he's a hero because he set off a bomb or two...as for Hitler...I keep drawing parallels between abortion and the holocaust...because I view both as mass murder.
As to this, "sound like the Muslim world defending terrorists, in that you fail to condemn the people who preach hate and violence." This is a false analogy...Mr. Brightside, in this instance, sounds more like a liberal decrying Ann Coulter...saying she said we should bomb their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity. Islam is a violent, satanic religion and Muslims won't condemn what they believe in..
I'm just waiting for someone to call me intolerant, LOLOL! --Post 327
Thanks for the ping. It's clear who said what. I wonder if Mr. Brightside is one of the "Brights" - the organization of atheists? Are you, Mr. B?
CCF may be strong medicine, but I can't really disagree with anything he said. The delivery isn't on a silver salver with a lace doily, but that's okay, I don't use them either.
He never advocating killing homosexuals, nor did he call Rudolph a hero.
