I think it is more important to care what God says about it in His Book.
Amen!
BUMP
I think that's why such men as Moore, Wright and Arnold are there. I'm quite confident they'll speak of what God says in His book.
Besides, God wrote two "books," so to speak: the Book of Scripture and the Book of Nature. He is the Author of both, and --- rightly interpreted --- they will not contradict each other. Therefore there are natural reasons why a traditional, observant Taoist, Hindu or Confucianist will agree with Jews and Christians in abhorring homosexual vice. They've been around long enough to have observed that it wreaks havoc with the family and undermines the foundations of human happiness.
As I understand it, the Muslims would have, by their own choice, little to contribute to such a symposium, since they do not believe that there is such a thing as "human nature" per se: something that we all have in common. (Nor, of course, do their recognize universal human rights.) They took a philosophical turn some 1,000 years ago to assert that the only things worth knowing are in the Koran. Sola Korana.
Publishers report that more foreign-language books are translated into Spanish every year, than have been translated into Arabic since the time of Muhammad.
They just, in point of principle, are not interested in listening to what other people think, desire, value, reject, or know by experience.
There may be individual Muslims who do not fit this pattern, but they are outliers. They are the ones whose heads ISIS wants on pikes.
Are you saying that everybody should read the Bible, but nobody should write or speak about it?
Who cares a whit about what ANY mere man says about marriage!
The only question and answer that counts is this:
What does Almighty God and the Word of God have to say about marriage?
That is the ONLY answer that counts and that is the ONLY thing that should be taught and followed. Everything else is utter folly!
I thank God that He had mercy upon me, delivered me out of Roman Catholicism and saved my soul by grace alone, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ alone; totally apart from works!
I sincerely pray that God would take the ongoing, doctrinally fallacious, statements being made by their "pope" and open the eyes of millions of Roman Catholics to the truth regarding the "pope" and their "church". I pray with all my heart that they may truly "see Jesus" and come to saving faith in Him and in Him alone before it is eternally too late.
