The extraordinary efforts prohomosexual apologists engage in trying to negate the Biblical condemnation of homosexual relations and even find sanction for the same, reveals what even many "Christians" fail to see: that Scripture, as the wholly inspired word of God and substantive body of Truth, is the supreme transcendent doctrinal basis against homosexual relations.
Thus, as with the temptation of the Lord in Mt. 4, the devil seeks to employ its authority in order to deceive, but whom the Lord soundly reproved by the same source. So must true Christians who are born again by this word of Truth.
In it we see that God created man and women as uniquely compatible and complimentary, and only joined them together in marriage (Gn. 2:24) - as the Lord Jesus specified in Mt. 19:4-6 - leaving all other human sexual relations to be fornication, and only condemns homosexual relations wherever they are manifestly dealt with,
An extensive examination and refutation of prohomosexual apologetic can be see here , by the grace of God.
That said, we have all been deceived by sin, and their is room at the cross for all who will come to the Lord Jesus in repentant faith, trusting the only Divine Son sent by the Father to save them on his account, by His sinless shed blood.
To God be the glory.

Liberal God is whatever is fashionable among the ruling class.
Without faith it is impossible to please God. Fallen man cannot understand the things of God because they are SPIRITUALLY discerned. Scripture is not a western scientific textbook explaining all things. We don’t start with man, in all his sinful foibles, and work towards understanding God. We start with GOD.
“This only have I found: God created mankind upright, but they have gone in search of many schemes.”—Ecclesiastes 7:29
This kind of thing (God as “transgender”) is just so hawg-stupid. God is beyond gender, both linguistic gender and social “gender.” God is beyond sex, our biological reproductive dimorphism. God is beyond all our dopey categories.
It’s a sign you’ve invented your God when He hates the same people you hate.
Just because a masculine term was used by the Hebrews to describe God does not mean He is male. English speakers seem to forget about this every time. For instance, the Spanish word for “table” is “la mesa” (feminine term), but a table isn’t a female. God is not trans-gender, God is non-gender because their is only one God and He is neither male or female.
Does anyone believe that the All-Powerful, the Creator of Heaven and Earth, the Alpha and Omega, is in any way a sexual being??? Why would God need to reproduce? Absent any such biological imperative, why would He need to be sexual?
We refer to the Deity in the masculine out of tradition, but I highly doubt God has ANY definable “gender.” A being that can create the universe ex nihilo can also probably be any gender He chooses, or none at all.
What a ridiculous issue!
Some people will go to any lengths to rationalize or excuse their sin.
God is not amused.
Fluke shot ;-).
U haz a gift, lol.
Help yourself to a Guinness and a kitten!
Much appreciated, thanx! :)
I agree that God is beyond sex, but I have often thought of Wisdom as being the female manifestation of God.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that in a poetic sense, as long as one recognizes that figurative languages says something about one aspect of the indescribable reality, rather than saying everything about a perfectly comprehensible reality.
I am speaking figuratively; when I mentioned this at a choir practice, the women readily agreed. :-)
I’m sure that’s true. I don’t see how any reasonable person could disagree that Wisdom is sometimes presented, poetically, in Scripture and Tradition, as a feminine element in God’s Being.
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. (Romans 1:21-23)
We are in the Romans 1 age now. Fireworks at 11.
The author isn’t exactly displaying a good grasp of Judaism.
