“Handedly” is part of “high handedly” and it’s use is correct, referring to, in this case, the arrogant, arbitrary and unlawful assumption of the right to basically amend the Scriptures, altering what they say or mean.
And I was not accusing you of arrogating the Scripture: rather that is in reference to those who do so, as in the case of “christians” who set aside the demand for repentance because some sin has become socially acceptable. Naturally this mean those who actively do so.
Please don’t think I’m accusing you of stuff, certainly like we are talking about here.
Still, in the case of sexual sins, it is not homosexuality alone we are told to flee, but simply sexual sin. That includes heterosexual adultery and fornication and not just outright perverted acts. Of course Christ said that lust itself was the real issue not to be played with and He equatied it to actual adultery. So I’m hardly surprised that when confronting a worldling about porn they often act just as upset as if I had just encouraged them to be a prude from now on (now, in these licentious times, deemed a negative in every respect).
When someone thinks their illicit sexual escapades are what it means to pursue happiness they really don’t like God’s expectation that we be suitably chaste and pure people.
