Pope Francis clarifies comments on homosexuality: “One must consider the circumstances.”

... every sexual act outside of marriage is a sin. Of course, one must also consider the circumstances, which may decrease or eliminate fault.

There he goes again with that "dicernment" to commit sin.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Not your yob, Poop.

In a televised interview, where we spoke with natural and conversational language, it is understandable that there would not be such precise definitions.

You are not some guy sitting on a barstool, you are a shepherd.

If you are not prepared to speak of such matters with precise language, then perhaps it is better to not speak at all.

[grame]

So they are adopting the ‘everything is relative’ doctrine now?

[painter]

BUMP!

As the Apostle Paul said, we have two natures - one flesh, and one spirit. He described the daily battle he had with the flesh inclination, and said in Romans, 7:19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

Anyone that has watched their dogs see their animal behaviors, and thus see the things that that they do that are similar to themselves. So, is it a sin to do what an animal does? No, that is his nature. So Paul admonished us to seek after that spiritual nature that we all possess. To stay mired in your animal nature seems to be a sin to me, I I personally do not believe that God Created us to stay as animals. He did create us with two natures, so that we would have a choice, where animals do not. So, is it a sin? If you define a sin as rebelling against God’s wishes for us, then I suppose it is. But homosexuality is not elevated beyond gossip, envy, gluttony, etc., or any other act of rebellion against God. They are all evil in God’s eye in my humble opinion. Likewise, to encourage animal behavior is a sin I believe, and ultimately we will be judged on that.

Not true. Not all sins are the same. Some are worse than others and result in a greater judgement. Thinking a lustful thought is not the same as committing adultery. Having a murderous thought is not the same as genocide. Sodomy is the result of being “given over” by God to demonic spirits because of continued transgressing rebellion.

Romans 1: 26 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: 27 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.

I really hope people wake up and realize that the satanic rc church has nothing to do with being a believer. One world religion coming.

[Jan_Sobieski]

Saints, what we are witnessing today in Christian Churches of all denominations is “The Great Bundling” of Matthew 13. Countries, Churches, and every one of us must decide how we’re bundled. Will we go along with Sodomy like Lot’s wife, sons, and sons in Law? Or will we stand against Sodomy to the last? Those who go along are bundled for judgment. Those who stand with Jesus are bundling for Escape (like Lot)…

Matthew 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

OK, Popey, what about rampant homosexuality within the Vatican?

Breaking your oath with your god? Is that not a crime?

You gonna split such hairs when facing the first Pope?

I don’t really give a flip so long as consulting ADULTS are involved and no oath breakers are involved. But, YOU should.

[Spok]

The Pope has sold out.

[slapshot]

RCINC looking to increase revenues (those 700$/hr defense attorneys fees add up)

RCINC is the oldest most profitable multinational corporation on the planet. Also the most hypocritical- preach open borders while Vatican is surrounded by 40’ high walls.

[hoagy62]

Okay Frankie, here’s the deal. Does the Bible say that it is wrong? If so, then it is WRONG. End of discussion. Do not argue with the inerrant Word of Almighty God.

[Delta 21]

I don’t think Jesus had to clarify any of the statements he made with, “well their could be special circumstances” or “you took what I said out of context”. Did He?

[Bob434]

the pope and some of his ilk seem hell-bent on normalizing homosexuality - even glorifying it and coddling it- despite what God’s word has to say about it- They are creating a god in their own image- because they certainly aren’t servign the God of the bible

[GrumpyOldGuy]

ANTI pope. Not the pope. Never has been, never will be.

[SaxxonWoods]

Thanks. The title is all one needs to know. Out to lunch before he gets started. Though I do want to know if he begins to look at “circumstances” regarding adultery and murder.

Just as a philosophical matter of course.

[Trump_Triumphant]

Francis the talking mule puts his hoof in his mouth again.

[Secret Agent Man]

I think that statement applies to getting rid of the pope as well.
