Your responses in this thread exhibit just how totally ignorant you are about the psychology research on homosexuality and the biblical statements on male on male sexual sins. It is amazing how massive the response is on this topic here, but you don't see such vitriol shown on fornication in...

When you reply to my post of 2 Samuel 1:26, I'll gladly give you a full exposition of Rom 1:26, 27. Do you think quoting Rom.1:27 without explaining in detail what that has to do with two males in a loving gay relationship today means anything at all? I'll give you a hint, notice the words...

Would a Baptist minister who is also a psychologist, go to "Rentboy" for a travel companion? Would a minister go through Rentboy so he could witness to him about his sin of homosexuality, as they travel? This is the problem with all the gay bashing by so-called Christians. I am referring to...

No I am not, but I am beginning to think there is evidence of persons on here with latent homosexuality that they are fighting against or struggling over. When people are so adamant in their argument on this topic, and are unable to exegete and prove the verses they throw about actually mean...

You are the one being evasive by not addressing the question, and repeatedly asking "Are you gay?" Using the argument against the man, is typical of someone who is unable to answer reasonably in an debate.

It has become quite clear, you do go your "own way". "Those who are unspiritual do not receive the gifts of God’s Spirit, for they are foolishness to them, and they are unable to understand them because they are spiritually discerned." (1Cor 2:14 NRSV) "One's own interpretation", means without...

Apparently you know nothing about the many attributes of God. I wrote "attributes" and that is what I meant.

Shouldn't we study real reasoning from the scriptures themselves for the answers? Individual opinions and superficial study of Bible verses don't prove very much. David in describing Jonathan's love in his lament after the death of Jonathan - "I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan...

Tony: In your OP your wrote: "Works alone are not sufficient, you need faith as well." Your English composition is stating that justification is a joint effort, works plus faith. That is false. In your OP you wrote: "Works are necessary; just don't boast about it". That is false. In your...

Your posts have been so jumbled it is hard to know what you believe. Do you believe in justification by faith alone, solely on the merit of Jesus Christ? Or, do you add "works" in order to be justified? Are you a do-it-yourself, free-lance theologian, or do you identify with any denomination...

But are you applying the correct meaning in the proper places?

Tony, Abraham's words showed him to be already a righteous person, it proved his claim to be right with God. This is what I meant by you confusing the meanings of "justify". One meaning is to show or give evidence to support that you have REAL saving faith, and the other meaning is of God's...

St SteVen, you can presume to be more righteous than how God has described himself and his acts in the scriptures he gave us, but I'll stick with what the word of God clearly states. You would do well to study the attributes of God. He indeed loves his elect with an everlasting love; but he...

Tony, did you immigrate to Canada and English is your second language, or were you born in Canada and learned English from a child? In my first reply to you, I was inclined to believe you are a bit confused in your English. It was my hope you did not mean to teach a justification that is...

I apologize for placing my reply in this thread. I was meaning it for the Thread titled "Does God care more for himself than he cares for us?"

Tony, you wrote: "G1344-justify appears 39 times. It is used generally to mean to render righteous." "render" is usually thought "to cause to be or become : MAKE"; at least that is how I take your meaning in the context of your OP. That is the definition of "sanctification", that is not...

In seeking the truth of God's word, we come across passages that on the surface may seem to contradict other passages of scripture. It has been the respected way to deal with such a circumstance, as is contained in the Westminster Confession of Faith - "Chapter 1, paragraph 9 - The infallible...

David, I was curious about that term in the Bible "strong drink" and checked some Bible dictionaries recently to see what that is. It is not distilled spirits for that did not exist then. It seems to be a drink fermented from items other than grapes. Maybe that produced a stronger fermented...

Tony, you are confusing the meanings of "justify". God justifies us, which means he declares us righteous and this in Christ. From the Merriam-Webster on this use of justify - justify verb : to judge, regard, or treat as righteous and worthy of salvation God justifies with his forgiveness...

The Merriam-Webster the world noun 1 : the earth and all the people and things on it He is famous throughout the world. They sailed around the world. The product is shipped halfway around/across the world. The island was cut off from the rest of the world. They want to see/travel the world. 2 ...
