Wait til God gets hold of him.

If threats are all he knows about God, then the buggery chains cannot be cut. Because they are idolatry of hostility.

Or can I put it differently? They’ve seen hell and they like it. If they were cast into flames with Satan at this point, it would be with a being viewed as a friend, not an enemy. “On some have mercy mixed with fear.”

Christian missionaries often are sent on paths that incur diseases. That alone does not define sin.

You're missing the point. Disease is not the focus of the argument. The "equality" movement labels Christians as bigots who hate. Christ followers hate all LGBT - that is their message. Every day is OPPOSITE DAY with liberals. They always accuse the messenger of what they are guilty of. Sodomy produces disease - 100% accurate. The equality movement always gets to change the argument. The Christ message is life. The equality movement cloaks their message in "love" and peace when in fact they are promoting a culture of death and disease. Get them to defend that they are promoting a deathstyle not a lifestyle. When they change the subject get them back on point. They cannot defend male on male sex. They lose every time.

There is a pastor in CA who was raised by hetero professors. While growing up, both parents decided they were homosexual and divorced to fulfil their longings. They taught their son to hate Christians.

Eventually, he was introduced to Jesus and eventually became a pastor.

His parents were horrified.

But he was able to show the love of Christ to his parents, and both are now Christians, if I recall correctly, and they abstain from their homosexuality.

He wrote a book. Will post it in a later reply.

Well, it’s a sin, just like stealing. Not sure, why do Gays want the Church to change?

Gays are notorious drama queens.

Homos make up the only organized group of sinners that want to destroy the church.

Murderers? Stealers? Nope, they don’t do that.

There will be a lot of people who will be thrown into the fire if they don’t repent.

8 “But cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars—their fate is in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”

But self righteous attitudes are never, ever conducive to people repenting. At the very LEAST they will lose reward; if not saved they too will undergo that same fire.

Are you so sure? Where did you obtain your data? A modern flare-up does not equate to historical integrity problems with the church.

Anyone who chooses not to believe will be lost for eternity.

And many will choose to be self righteous, not passing on a genuine word of saving faith. Some of those won’t believe at all and be damned as described; others will barely believe and have a scanty reward.

Only God knows a person’s heart and what he/she thinks. It’s best to work out our own salvation and pray for the others.

So flinging around generalities about damnation might not be such a peachy keen thing after all?

It’s in the BOOK. That’s the way it will be. Yes and no, never maybe.

And if you just “pray for the others” without a witness of SALVATIONAL LOVE, you may be sinning badly against God just the same.

Yes, it’s in the BOOK therefore I can use its threats against you too. As one gives out, one gets. That’s in the BOOK too.

I’m trying to figure out your beef. What is it?
