I suppose you are right, but I still cannot grasp why discussing what the Bible and the Ecumenical Creeds teach as foundational to the Christian faith should be banned. It comes down to the key question, was Jesus the Christ Yahweh or was he not? Was he God or was he a creation of God? To see...

In Genesis, the last verse of chapter one reads: "God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day." (Gen 1:31 NRSV) I take that to include man, whom the One God of infinite perfections, would only create righteous...

I'm scratching my head wondering why you need to ask that question after all that I have posted. What more can I say? Jesus the Christ is Fully God as well as fully man, inseparable, one Christ.

Ronald, you wrote "He suffered temptation in His humanity" I understood you to be separating the humanity away from the Divine. If I misunderstand you, I apologize. I had in mind various statements being made through this thread and if I read more into your words, again, I do apologize...

The anointed one in the OT, the Messiah was to be Yahweh... and the anointed one in the NT, the Christ is also Yahweh which proves the Deity of Christ. The Son of Man and the Son of God are one Christ, indivisible.

Hobie, several weeks ago when I saw what I assumed was a new poster, who happens to be Chinese, I replied to a few of his posts. I do not remember any links, but I do remember recognizing his posts were artificial and mechanical sounding so I stopped spending time on him. When I say mechanical...

You're a brave man, Steve! hahaha... I wonder how long it will be before someone calls either you or your friend gay?

I will expand on what I have first mentioned earlier: Examining the love of Jonathan for David, starting in 1 Sam. 18:3 the Hebrew word is 'ahabah and you find that word is first used of Jacob's love for Rachel, a female/male romantic love. When following the word, when used of creaturely...

To those who like to use Hebrew or Jewish words, how will you react when I show that in the Hebrew the love between Jonathan and David had a homoerotic content? The various verses are clear enough in the English, but undeniable in the Hebrew. I admit, I just learned about this recently. To...

I find it amusing that some think using Jewish words is somehow more spiritually attuned to God, contrasted with English speaking people. It makes me think of the Jehovah's Witnesses who are superstitious about the name "Jehovah". I am an American English speaker, and not a Jew, and I will use...

Why not take the time to study fornication in the scriptures and see if there is any way you can apply that to homosexuality. The scriptures disprove your point clearly. The Greek the many translations translate as some form of homosexual, arsenokoites, is without question distinguished from...

Steven, you made a good point with "Christians that come out of a gay lifestyle say that the same-sex attraction never goes away." The claims you read about the ex-gays who went from gay orientation to being straight are very misleading. As you point out, they came out of a "gay lifestyle" but...

Taken, thank you for so clearly proving my point. In your long post you did not quote one single verse that states that any and all sex outside of the marriage of man with woman is sin. Your argument is theological construction based on the perfection of the created order, similar to...

David, where is that "very clear and precise scripture" that states any sex outside of marriage of man with woman, is sin. You made the claim, now prove it. The best you can do is cobble together verses to make a theological construction, based on your fallible, human reasoning. That is the...

A very obvious passage that bears on this question is one we use to prove that Jesus Christ is Yahweh, I forgot it in previous post, I include it here: "In that day shall Jehovah defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house...

I don't see what sort of "Deity of Christ" you teach, having earlier written: "GOD, does not DIE, yet Jesus DIED.. .. on the Cross., and rose again." Therefore, according to you, Jesus was not God Almighty, Jehovah or Yahweh. The Jehovah's Witnesses teach a sort of divinity in Jesus. "We...

Dear readers of this thread. Most posters are pushing the heresy of kenosis, which removes the Diety from the person of Jesus Christ. It is in oppostion to biblical doctrine and explained so in the Athanasian Creed. I'll quote from "Got Questions", which has a good article on this: "There...

"...but we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, even the wisdom that hath been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds unto our glory: which none of the rulers of this world hath known: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory: but as it is written, Things...

You are not in accord with the Bible, nor with the ecumenical creeds based on the Bible. See the preceding post of the Athanasian Creed and supporting scripture. You cannot divide the Christ into two, the human and the Divine. He is one Christ.

Can you give a verse or passage that states that sex outside of marriage of man and woman is sin? Or, is that teaching a theological construction, which involves the conclusion of fallible men.
