First off RLT, I appreciate your response. Second, if I ever used the word "homosexuality" in my posts, which I doubt; I'd want to refresh my memory in what context I used the word. To give definition as to what I am talking about, I go to an English dictionary: The definition of...

You are using the shallow and misleading approach I've read called "spoof texting", because you don't understand any of the verses you give. You are doing what most gay-hating Bible thumpers do, sidestep the examination of each single verse in order to arrive at your bigoted conclusion. Your...

Your reply is typical of too many people claiming to know the Bible. I see the absence of any exposition of the verse in question, 2 Sam. 1:26. You're making a baseless editorial style response that does not effect Bible believers. I couldn't care less what you think is "mentally ill or evil"...

One verse alone answers your question or statement. The love of Jonathan and David in the OT has been praised and admired for centuries. It is this one verse alone that I have not ever seen explained away or refuted - "I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan; greatly beloved were you...

There are definite rules for biblical interpretation and a couple of articles illustrate this well: From an article found in the 1952 RSV, "Method and Procedure of Revision": "A recent speaker has told of a project to issue 'a theologically conservative translation of the Bible.' Doubtless this...

If all you can do is post links to web sites making your case, apparently you cannot express your own thoughts based on study of the Holy Bible.

If I showed you in the Hebrew of the OT where a male's love for his male friend included sexual feelings, you would merely deny it like most bigots do. I'm speaking of individuals who are married with children.

Your post is misleading because if anyone posts scripture to refute what you say about homosexuality they will be banned. Post any scripture to refute your side, instead of explaining why the interpretation of the particular scriptures is incorrect, they merely ban the poster. The gay haters...

This is my last post on Christianity Board, and I'm sure that will please many if not most here. I've just today realized why I am finding this forum so divorced from the name it claims. I thought all on these forums for Christians only, were actually holding to the Christian faith. I see...

The Merriam-Webster I quoted is the current version for today! There can be NO truth stated when each and everyone in a group can redefine the use of words to suit their own purpose rather than using standard definitions. That is absolutely absurd!

Did I set the standard, or did God's word set the standard? No, I am certainly not in the habit of using such gutter talk! When I think of the Presidency, I can't help but think of a government of the people, by the people and for the people.

From the Merriam-Webster - fuck 1 of 2 verb ˈfək fucked; fucking; fucks intransitive verb 1 usually obscene : COPULATE 2 usually vulgar : MESS sense 3 —used with with transitive verb 1 usually obscene : to engage in coitus with —sometimes used interjectionally with an object (such as a...

A man is a homosexual male by his desire, whether he acts upon that desire or not. From the Merriam-Webster: "Usage of Sodomy The word sodomy has a long history of use in reference to culturally stigmatized sex acts, and often specifically to sex acts between people of the same sex. In...

WOW! That is the reasoning that has invited the world into the present day churches, and the reason the west is in the sad shape we're in today! So, we are to adopt the word filth of the world in order to relate to them? I don't find the scripture anywhere teaching that.

I do try to use the biblical instructions with some common sense also. I know a mother whose husband has deserted her, or is incapacitated in some way; and other such situations call for the mother/wife to take the role of leadership and breadwinner. I value understand the woman who is put...

No, I do not use the phrase "born again Christian" I let the words or life of the professor give me an idea their spiritual state. If I were to use any phrasing similar, I maybe would say I am a "Christian which means I was born from above" and then the first grace in my new born state is faith...

I do not know how anyone of any education would use "sodomy" and "homosexuality" as if they are synonyms, they are NOT.

I frankly tire of replying to so much ignorance. I've expressed my biblical view on male on male sexual sin in that thread, on homosexuality. I am not going to rehash it here. No fundamentalist/evangelical yet has found a verse applying to a Christian believer that condemns a male to male...

BJJ, I agree completely. Trump making a big point of DeSantis being disloyal to himself because he helped DeSantis in his campaign, I find is narcissistic. The loyalty is to be to the nation, not to the person of Donald Trump. I voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020 but he turned me off initially...
