:Laughingoutloud: At 41:47 of your own video, the guy admits "...if you focus on Scripture and tradition, you're going to come out with a more Conservative understanding of various moral issues, including same sex relations; if you look at reason and experience, you're going to come out with a...

From the beginning of Christianity, we've been unanimous on sexual ethics. These Johnny Come Latelies are irrelevant--we've known about their coming for a long time. 2 Timothy 4 2For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for...

1. I believe the same--one must act as if what they say they believe is what they actually believe. 2. The Bible refers to past-tense salvation (eg, 1 Co 10; Ep 2), current ongoing salvation (eg, 2 Cor 2:15), and future tense salvation (Ro 5)--none of these nullifies the other, they're all true.

Yeah, there's even a word for it : "fornication". Under the Law of Moses, fornicators were put to death.

Anyone who doesn't know the Scriptures condemn homosexuality, and that it only condones heterosexual marital sex--and, in the New Covenant, where God gets His way, between one man and one woman, as it was in Genesis--and nothing else, just doesn't want to know. The information is there.

Off topic, as noted. There are basically two sides you can take in this discussion : 1) You are saved by grace through faith, and you do not work for salvation--you do good works because you are saved. 2) You are saved by grace through faith, and God expects you to walk in faith afterward...

Jesus was a Jew. What does the Torah say? Many issues were in dispute then, but homosexuality being an abomination wasn't disputed. That's something new.

I've heard lots of arguments for and against the idea of Jesus's divinity, and I find many of them, on either side, convincing--eg, no man has seen God at any time, yet many have seen Jesus, so how can Jesus be God? Whether Jesus is divine or not, He will make clear, and I will believe whatever...

In the OT Scriptures, God is "husband" to His people; in the NT Scriptures, Jesus is "husband" to God's people. How can that be unless Jesus is God? However, you're not to hijack threads. The discussion here is not necessarily the definition of "obey" (eg, whether believing Jesus is God...

So you're saying you're on topic bc you're agreeing with the OP (we must walk in faith to be saved, ultimately), and you're adding that part of walking in faith is believing that Jesus is not God?

BTW That avatar is funny lol I'm pro 2A so I'm not laughing "at" it, it's just funny.

The topic is not whether Jesus is God. Why don't you start your own thread on that topic? Why do you have to crash someone else's thread and take it off the rails? Why do you have to be disorderly?

Yup... "Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure." Php 2:12,13 They say "God does the...

Every scholar knows and understands this self-evident fact, but the people here aren't well read. Romans 2:17 You call yourself a Jew Romans 4:1 Abraham our forefather according to the flesh Romans 7:1 Brothers (for I speak to those who know the Law), From chapter 2 through chapter 11, Paul is...

Also, yes, God saves us by grace through faith, but that salvation is comparable to the Jews' from Egypt--after having been saved, they sinned, so they fell under God's wrath and didn't inherit the Promise, and this happened to them to warn us what will happen to us if we also live in sin after...

Everything the Bible says comes from the Holy Spirit, every spirit that contradicts the Holy Spirit ("Has God said...?") is from an unholy desire. Simple.

The confusion between salvation by faith or salvation by works seems, to me, to be resolved in the statements 1. "God's righteousness is revealed from faith to faith" (Ro 1:17), 2. "let every man be fully convinced in his own mind" (Ro 14:5) 3. "whatever is not of faith is sin" (Ro 14:23)...

I've heard some Jews who eventually believed were jealous that they could sense the presence of God with the Christians very strongly all of the time, but only very faintly with the Jews, and only on the high holy day (Yom Kippur).

LOL YOU were the one who was correcting someone else for saying we were Christ's children!

I have read that adoption worked differently back in ancient Rome--ie, it was one's own children that one "adopted" when they came of age.
