I think you would enjoy the article, "Why We (Christians) Shoot Our Wounded." LOL (I'll send it to you if you like.)Those who refuse to repent are the only sinners that should be ejected from church.
When someone is caught in adultery their spouse will make that person sorry. But if not they should be ejected.
Luke 16:18 KJV
[18] Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
Tecarta BibleThis is commonly practiced in the churches everyday. But no one has a problem with it.
Leviticus 20:10 KJV
[10] And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
Tecarta BibleThis under the same attitude as you have with homosexuals, requires death. As per God?
Hi Grace, hi Grace, I would also like to add, that under this theology any man who has looked Upon another man’s wife with Lust and his heart is also to be rejected.
Agree.. There are not big sins and little sin... James says - if we live by the law we must keep it ALL.
10 "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. "
Yet we seem to want it both ways! ie:-
Such as, "His sins are much worse than my small sin"
Reading through the thread one thing does stand out...the Law is being changed as we speak to promote a false sense of peace. Didn’t He say it would be? If the government gives you its seal of approval ...then you are approved. It is false peace when the only approval that frees is His. Don’t hate the person though...mourn for them. they are being drawn into a trap that offers peace but is far from it.
I think it is quite a bit to ask.....”give up you sexuality so that my friends and I can feel comfortable”
Iforrest, are you ready to become vegetarian so that SDAs will feel comfortable? And the weak will not stray?
I'm not a SDA, what they do in their congregations is their business.
No one is claiming they are not a sinner under the Law. No one is trying to keep the law. But though we are not under the law, we know God does not want us to steal. We know God does not want us to murder. We know God does not want us to commit adultery. None of that changes, though we are not under the law.
The same is true with homosexuality. We know it is wrong. It is sin. It is a gross sin. It is an abomination before God. It is itself a judgement from God as I explained already as Scripture says. It is the second giving up of God to a God rejecting people.
Quaker man wants you to believe God has changed his mind, or we just didn't really understand what God was saying concerning homosexuality. It is ok as long as you don't sodomize each other. It is ok as long as you just love each other as man and man. You can get your giggles all kinds of ways, just don't sodomize each other. Go ahead and marry.
Don't let him dazzle you with his bs...

Great answer! Secular homosexuals feel the same way about us and wonder why we are stopping them from living their lives
I say guilty is a lie, spoken by a murderer and a thief.Good verses all. You are confusing adultery and divorce. Divorce was explained in (Deut. 24:1-4)
Adultery of the man and woman is explained in (Lev. 20:10) where both were to die.
(Luke 16:18) is not isolated from (Matt. 5:32) where there is a reason one can divorce, which is fornication. (Matt. 19:1-9) says the same.
From this we definitely see Gods mind concerning divorce.
Concerning the death penalty, if you have paid attention, you will see that I said we don't kill queers today because we are not under the law. But that does not change God's attitude toward homosexuality. Same is true with divorce. We don't kill the adulterers because we are not under the Law. But we know God's mind concerning divorce. I believe it completely.
So, my question to you is, do you believe this is God's view of divorce. Or do you want to say it is ok, like quaker man says homosexuality is acceptable to God. Understand there is reason to divorce. There is no reason to being a queer except rejecting God. Only in the mind of the quaker man.
What say you?

I was talking to a young bloke who had been in Jail and he was saying to me what goes on in the Jails and he claimed not to be a poofter, but I said any man that has sex with another man is guilty of sodomy and sodomy is a homosexual act and their for one is what's called a poofter in Australia. he thought that it meant one was wimpy or a pansy, but no, it's anyone who does degenerate sexual acts with the same sex.Hey Reggie,
You sure have a way with words
Very colourful.
I don’t think we can lump them all together like that.
You are describing the drags of society ...perverts, but we have them in every level and walk of life.
I mean , I had one uncle who “tried it on “ with my two brothers and all my male cousins.
Yet I had 4 other uncles who were all quite normal, it’s not- “one size fits all” .
I for sure don’t have all the answers ...
I actually don’t believe that those rapist in the prisons are homosexuals...they just use the weaker men as a woman. I believe they actually rape the homosexuals more than the straight guys.
That’s what I have heard anyway ...but , I know nothing. Neither do I understand it all! lol
The reason they only pick homosexuality is because they think it’s the only one that doesn’t pertain to them, but they forget to quickly that if their guilty of one their guilty of all!What I am not getting...(under the New Covenant) ..how homosexuals are held up as the most abominable. Sin is sin is it not?
According to most who post in this thread....God hates the Homosexuals ...BUT what about -the lier , the adulterer , ( those married after divorce) the glutton, the gossiper... why is homosexuality picked out from all the rest ?
Does He not hate all these too? I know lots of lying Christians who bend the truth. Cheat on taxes etc etc...
I mean, if we are talking about who is" in" and who is "out"...what about
Rev 21
8 "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."
I see this list...yet I don't see you, ladycross, Taken, etc etc warning about these, and how terrible they are and how much God hates them...and they should be driven out of the neighbourhood far away from the rest of us. etc etc..
See what I mean? This thread does not make any sense.
Seems pretty clear to me... anyone who divorces their spouse and remarries commits adultery.Good verses all. You are confusing adultery and divorce. Divorce was explained in (Deut. 24:1-4)

I hope this isn’t you mr stranger. Having another mans wife.Seems pretty clear to me... anyone who divorces their spouse and remarries commits adultery.
Just because God establishes all authority doesn't mean that authority is good. He will place wicked rulers over the unrighteous.
Seems pretty clear to me... anyone who divorces their spouse and remarries commits adultery.
Don't quite know what you mean when you say 'the law is being changed as we speak'.
Any change, of our no longer being under the law but under grace, is a change of God's laws. It is not a change from God's laws to mans laws.
If one is a queer, are you saying God approves because our government approves?
