Why Attending a Homosexual “Wedding” is Unbiblical, Part I: It Is a Contradiction of Biblical Marriage Doctrine

[Theo]

I did quote the entire passage.

[circlecity]

Yet the book of Jude makes it very clear what abomination Ezekiel was referring to. . And, again. God is very concerned with sexual sin. You cannot “surrender your heart” without repentance. Jesus’ very first command in all the synoptic gospels is repent. It is an essential element of faith.

[Theo]

Something is wrong with you, my friend.

Nowhere have I dismissed “sexual sin.”

Nowhere have I dismissed repentance.

Forget it. I don’t have time to waste with people like you.

[NorthMountain]

That is not correct. You quoted verse 49, but left off verse 50, which I supplied.

Quoting more does not change the meaning.

[NorthMountain]

Quoting the whole passage, including the “abomination” part, absolutely DOES change the meaning from what you proposed.

Truncating a Scripture passage is never a good idea.

[Jan_Sobieski]

You can say you are a Christian all you want. If you practice evil, it is a sign you have departed from God and do not have the Holy Spirit of God working in your life. Don’t worry, you are in good company. Falling away seems to be en vogue…

2 Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

[Theo]

“If you practice evil, it is a sign you have departed from God and do not have the Holy Spirit of God working in your life.”

I agree. It could be a sign that you have departed from God.

But obedience does not *earn* your salvation.

I give up on your ever grasping the concept of salvation first, obedience second. It’s not “cheap grace” to understand that Christ is the Savior, not us.
