Their definition of love is an abomination to us, and our definition of love is an abomination to them--darkness and light have no fellowship, flesh is contrary to spirit, their god hates God.

This thread isn't about how to deal with it, it's merely establishing the Biblical view on the issue.

Christianity teaches it.

In what way did I fail to explain how Christ defined the "ACT" of respect there? Just like you cherry pick the Bible words that suit you, and end up giving false impressions of the Bible, you cherry picked my words and gave the false impression I somehow came up short. I specified the way in...

You're obviously unacquainted with, and uninterested in, Christianity--I tried explaining it to you, you brushed it off. Again, you're here for one reason, and one reason only: you're not here to discuss anything, you're here to try to cause Christians to accept sodomy. You're not open to the facts.

The Christians had the internal fortitude that having a clear conscience affords. How do I know Christians have a clear conscience? Peter tells you: "water baptism is an appeal to God for a clear conscience". You don't think God cleanses the conscience through baptism? Paul also said, "my...

They gave us the ignore button because they knew people would arrive at points of strong disagreement--they literally made the forum for people like myself.

If it doesn't mean what I say I think it means--eternal life is a harvest reaped in due time by those who do not grow weary in doing good to all men--you're free to tell everyone what the true meaning is.

See? It's exactly as I said--he wants to smuggle homosexuality into Christianity! Just as everything else I've said is true. When Christians were "rejected" by society, in ancient Rome, they didn't commit suicide, because their consciences were clear, because they weren't committing...

This issue is exceedingly simple to understand--these people pretending not to understand want to give the impression there is obscurity as a front to smuggle sodomy into Christianity. Nope, not happening!

If not, then how do you reconcile the fact that Christ both upholds the Law and countermands the Law? Both of those are facts--He upholds the Law AND cancels some Laws. That's literally why He had to clarify He WAS NOT coming to do away with Torah--because He DID remove some laws (He says vows...

An honest person sees inconsistency, and makes inquiry as to how to reconcile and restore coherence--you, on the other hand, are just throwing verses away, and attacking people who raise those verses to point out your incoherence to help you restore coherence. You're not being helpful.

The Torah principle that He upholds is "respect God"--the Law said "Respect God--keep your vows", Christ says "Respect God--don't even make a vow. Humble yourself."

Yeah, by ignoring the immediately following teaching that contradicts your "takeaway" from those words, you most certainly are misrepresenting those words.

You misinterpret Jesus, bc He immediately called making and keeping vows, a Torah Law, "of the evil one", saying, instead, "let your 'yes' be yes and your 'no' be no--anything beyond this [eg, making vows] is of the evil one." James echoes Jesus's teaching--"make no vow at all". Your...

Actually already answered this in multiple ways. I'm going to go ahead and block you because you are wasting my time pretending to converse when you're really just rejecting God's Word.

Not interested in your opinions. You had your chance to say something true, and you decided to reject God's Word. Thanks.

LOL Apparently, no Protestant on this forum likes this passage of Scripture so far.

What I know is eternal life is a harvest reaped in due time by doers of good who do not faint in doing good to all men but persist in it. That is the witness of both Scripture and the most ancient, original, forms of Christianity--your new idea has no historical or Biblical root. Again, please...
