“You don’t believe St. Augustine in the 4th century? He stated the teaching of the faith, it hasn’t changed.”
Well, since I’m not a Calvinist, I obviously disagree with St Auggie in a few places.
Deut 25 says:
“And if the man does not wish to take his brother’s wife, then his brother’s wife shall go up to the gate to the elders and say, ‘My husband’s brother refuses to perpetuate his brother’s name in Israel; he will not perform the duty of a husband’s brother to me.’ 8 Then the elders of his city shall call him and speak to him, and if he persists, saying, ‘I do not wish to take her,’ 9 then his brother’s wife shall go up to him in the presence of the elders and pull his sandal off his foot and spit in his face. And she shall answer and say, ‘So shall it be done to the man who does not build up his brother’s house.’ 10 And the name of his house shall be called in Israel, ‘The house of him who had his sandal pulled off.’”
Do you see where that is different from having sex with your sister-in-law on the pretense of creating an heir, while making sure there will be none?
If God killed everyone who ‘spilled their seed’, very few teen boys would make it to adulthood - and those that did would be homosexuals...

You won’t be serious, you’re making fun of St. Augustine.
Disagree, ponder, the Southern Baptist leader, he’s just not sure yet, should we do as God has commanded? Reverend Mohler’s writing is ridiculous. Fifty years now, seeing the fruit of the Pill and other forms of Birth Control.
“teen boys”... God is the judge, I can’t say, a fact about the young people today, bad catechesis. Who has taught them masturbation is a sin? There are two deaths, physical and spiritual. Lose your life, do not lose your soul.
Oh yes, the times, sodomy isn’t a sin any longer. We get to pick between two pro-sodomites for President in November. Is it HAARP and/or divine judgment that DC is dark right now?
God knows what is best, yes, believe the faith,
