According to Paul, the Jews' salvation was a type of what we who believe are now experiencing--he relates all of their experiences to Christians' experiences.

Yeah, we're "saved", and, after being "saved", Paul says, we must be careful how we live, or else we will be punished for sinning. The main issue here is how you are defining "saved"--I think it is only partially accurate, according to what we are reading here.

Well, that's what Paul is teaching, isn't it? Isn't this the purport of all of Scripture, as well? Psalm 85 8Let me hear what God the LORD will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints; but let them not turn back to folly.

1 Corinthians 10 (ESV) 1For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers,a that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, 2and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, 3and all ate the same spiritual food, 4and all drank the same spiritual drink. For...

Paul doesn't contradict himself, though he may contradict some of the ways we traditionally have interpreted what he has said--as Peter has warned his writings are difficult to understand. If we find inconsistencies in our understandings of Paul, if he sounds incoherent, therefore, we should...

Which part of what I said were you disagreeing with?

Yes, Paul was speaking to the Church (those "saved from the penalty of sin", as you would put it), telling them these things about what "salvation" and Christianity were about, and how these things worked in Christianity.

Paul's argument is that the "saved" (the Church) must be careful how they live after having been saved, or else they will fall under God's wrath, and not inherit the promise.

In 1 Corinthians 10, the "salvation" of Christians is said to be the anti-type to the deliverance from the house of bondage, and from God's wrath there, which the Jews experienced. 1. The Jews spread the blood of a lamb on the doorposts of their homes, and were spared from God's wrath--we are...

The gays have to not only pervert sexuality, but, hating even their own selves, they even pervert homosexuality, denying its sterility in adopting children to pretend to be what they never can be. It's perversion upon perversion. God can save.

It would be a sin to show compassion to @Arthur81--anyone who knows the Scripture knows there are times when God PROHIBITS compassion, meaning that "compassion" in such cases is faux "compassion", not real compassion (compassion that God commands is the only true compassion)--because he's not...

Oops, you forgot the instruction he had already given on the matter: 1 Corinthians 7 1Now concerning the things about which you wrote, it is good for a man not to touch a woman. 2But because of immoralities, each man is to have his own wife, and each woman is to have her own husband. Each man...

I think he means the fad of "gay christianity".

The gays have a festival where they revel in this very pride.

All healthy relationships are fundamentally friendships. A father and a son are friends. A wife and a husband are friends. A brother and a brother are friends. That is real love. "You are my friends if you do what ever I tell you." The friendship of Jonathan and David, to David's surprise...

"The love of women": love is not sex. Love consists in more than sex. The actual love shared between a man and his wife is not merely sex. Sex can be an act of love, but it is not love. God had supernaturally made their souls one. 1 Samuel 18 1As soon as he had finished speaking to Saul, the...

Irrelevant as to God's Word, which condemns and prohibits the behavior.

All irrelevant to the question of what God says in Scripture about homosexuality.

Again, the Canaanites were destroyed for homosexuality--you cannot change that. Ezekiel explains HOW people, like the Sodomites, get to the point where they're committing that "abomination" (Ezekiel's description of homosexuality)--it BEGINS with being self-centered, self-indulgent, not caring...

We quote the Bible, and the false prophets mischaracterize the Scripture as "the clobber passages". "Woe is me! I'm being clobbered by the bad men who follow Scripture!" No, YOU are violating THE EARTH with your abominations! The losers, the perpetual victims (as a way of deflecting from...
