Warning All Churches [Homosexual infiltration]

Over this year, there have been a number of news reports on another movement in the church advocating for the acceptance of homosexual behavior and same-sex relationships. Matthew Vines, an openly homosexual 23-year-old student at Harvard University, posted a video on YouTube of a speech he gave on homosexuality and the Bible. In the talk, he claims repeatedly that God’s Word does not condemn monogamous same-sex relationships.

Now, a recent report from the Christian Post highlighted the amount of compromise happening within the church on this issue. The headline of the article explains, " 50 ‘Hand-Picked’ Christians Trained To Convince Churches To Re-Interpret Scripture’s Gay Boundaries.” Vines apparently hosted a training conference recently in his home state of Kansas for Christians who want to convince their churches to accept same-sex relationships.

You are the one who appears to be arguing for Christ not being God in the flesh. That contradicts Scripture, so please be my guest (just for “grins and giggles” you know).

[papertyger]

This is a common misconception by Catholics as they think equate it with some “private interpretation unauthorized by Scripture, contradictory to Scripture and unverifiable” which is patent nonsense.

Then why is there no universally accepted Protestant doctrine of Baptism?

[JLLH]

Because it is only symbolic and regeneration does not hinge upon it. Most follow Christ’s example (again, found in Scripture, which Catholicism loves to pretend it invented.)

[papertyger]

John 1:1 and Genesis provide answers to any argument for polytheism.

Unfortunately, it seems you can't.

[papertyger]

Ever get tired of that one-trick pony act? Guess when you don’t really have an argument....

As if "Scriptural Tourette's" is an argument....

[JLLH]

Scripture does. That’s my argument. Sorry it’s apparently beyond your comprehension. Sad.

[papertyger]

which from one of your previous posts appears to be something with which you agree on....

remember what I said earlier about the Protestant penchant for accusation?

[JLLH]

Ah, yes, the eternal Catholic hissy fit thrown when Scripture is used. Guess it’s to be expected when one doesn’t know Scripture and cannot answer arguments from a Biblical view. Again, sad, but completely within your power to change.

[JLLH]

See your own words, post 36.

[papertyger]

Actually, Scripture states that believers are given the Holy Spirit for guidance.

Where does it say believers are compelled to follow that guidance?

[narses]

[narses]

“Jesus said to them again, ‘Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.’ And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.’ “

[JLLH]

So.... your position is that the Holy Spirit is an optional buffet item?? The Holy Spirit indwells the believer. No HOly Spirit, no salvation.

[papertyger]

Scripture condemns those who add to it, attempting to create their own authority...

Again, the assumption Scripture is the only authority. Please demonstrate that from Scripture.

[JLLH]

Your pictures in lieu of solid argument are entertaining but really add nothing to the discussion.

[papertyger]

You are the one who appears to be arguing for Christ not being God in the flesh.

Making it personal?

[papertyger]

Because it is only symbolic and regeneration does not hinge upon it.

According to which Protestant denominations? There are others that fully embrace Baptismal Regeneration.

[PeterPrinciple]

Actually, Scripture states that believers are given the Holy Spirit for guidance.

Joh 15:26 “But I will send you the Advocate—the Spirit of truth. He will come to you from the Father and will testify all about Me.

It would appear the Spirit’s major job is to point to Jesus?
I have heard some sermons say if we are talking about the spirit and not Jesus, it ain’t the Spirit.

[papertyger]

Scripture does. That’s my argument. Sorry it’s apparently beyond your comprehension.

So demonstrate it.

[JLLH]

Happy to do so — Here you go:

2 Timothy
Deut. 4:2
Prov. 30:5-6
Rev. 22:18

for starters....
