The "workable solution" has always been "repent" and "deny yourself taken up your cross and follow Christ". Christianity never changed, only the ideas/demands of unbelievers like yourself have changed. Men who lay with men can and must repent just as all sinners. It's not complicated. Either you...

What, you didn't like my commentary? Lol

Isn't it "homophobic" for them to pretend to be heterosexual--for them to pretend to be fertile, to be able to bear children, when the very nature of their union is infertility? It's actually self-hateful for them to not embrace their sterility, and pretend to be something they're not. Why not...

God permitted things before (eg, "any cause" divorce under Torah) that He now wants done away with. Polygamy was one of them. His standard was one man and one woman in the beginning, and He restored that standard.

Because leaders are examples for others to follow, it quickly gets the people on the same page with God.

It's not a coincidence that homosexuality is not celebrated in Scripture, and heterosexual marriage is--and when homosexuality is mentioned, it's always negatively. You can try to do your little tap dance rearranging chairs on the titanic, but it's always mentioned in a negative light. I don't...

What if someone always had attraction to married women? Should he come out as "adulterous Christian"? No, just repent and deny himself like Christ says. Same with homosexuality.

Polygamy had been permitted as a concession, but it wasn't God's ideal, and, since leaders are to be emulated, leaders were to live by the newly restored Genesis standard of one man one wife.

I mean, let them come alongside, and explain the Scripture in a better way for me to help me, and if I have objections, or concerns ("How come it doesn't seem to make sense with this over here?"), then explain things so that I have nothing to be concerned about. Thanks

I really prefer to just follow the words in Scripture, and, if people want to help me understand it better, have them correct me to improve me. It happens only rarely that people are respectful that way. Everyone needs help sometime--if someone sees I need help, let them help, but they're mostly...

You may arrive at an error without it being "preconceived", but that just means there are different sorts of errors.

It becomes apparent that it is "preconceived" as you read Scripture and you discover it doesn't fit in with the totality of what is being said.

@Keiw See "Abiding In Christ Necessary For Eternal Life" They brought their arguments--a singular one of the users on their side, who chimed in toward the end of the discussion, was actually respectful, but the rest were not--and, by the end, because they could not defend their ignorance in the...

That is basically my line of reasoning--the other side does well to trust God as Savior, but, in the process, they also discount and wave away certain doctrines of that same God, which thing I see as being completely unreasonable and unjustifiable. I've spoken with many of them at length, and...

Real science WOULD be able to detect an aberration--"I observe this man is, contrary to design, inserting his penis into another man's anus! Something has gone terribly wrong with him!" The issue is with the scientists--they themselves cannot be trusted with adjudicating anything, having had...

The Sword cuts both ways--the devil was trying for the longest time to deceive me about this, but God's Word saves, makes the devil's lies apparent. "Defilement!" Once God lets us call it what it is, then there is rest in the truth.

God, being our Creator, knows what we are, and what is best for us. Leviticus 18 20You shall not have intercourse with your neighbor’s wife, to be defiled with her. Culture (ie, "reason" and "experience"--the "sand" upon which the Johnny-Come-Lately false "Christians" build their houses) will...

It just shows the sexual ethic of God--even under Torah, which was imperfect--which was transmitted through Jesus and His Apostles to the rest of the disciples. Ephesians 5 3But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints. Unmarried...

The "proof of her virginity" referred to would have been the sheet on which she would have bled after her first sexual encounter with her husband--without this, and barring any other explanation, it was assumed she had actually been guilty of fornication, pre-marital sex, and would have been...

:Laughingoutloud: Has anyone seen the debates on this issue? The gays get torn to shreds. They don't even debate this stuff anymore--not as widely as it used to be debated a few years back. They've already been publicly humiliated. Examples:
