No, it's the claim of Scripture that we are all, by nature, the children of wrath (Ephesians 2:3). .

Some folks are not interested in merely doing their part or the least that they can do. .

I think because protest demonstrations are not the way of Jesus. .

Agreed There are genetic factors that cause various propensities to evil. The default human condition at birth is not holiness, even where the awareness of correct morality is present at a very early age. Over-simplifying problems with proof texts doesn't solve them. People need Jesus...

Contrary to the claims being made, the matter of "sexual orientation" being fixed at birth or at any other time is not a settled matter in the scientific community at large. Not even close. The validity of the push to accept a person's view of their own sexual identity cannot be demonstrated...

Pragmatically speaking, except for the most extraordinary cases of early puberty, I can't see how an 8-year-old could possibly be in violation of the command for a man to abstain from lying with a man, as with a woman—even in his heart, as per the Sermon On The Mount. Also, legally speaking, a...

Co This is rank sophistry. Lots of folks believe homosexuality is wrong without going out and killing a homosexual, without even having to exert any conscious energy toward restraint. His death was the result of his parents acting on the demonic fear and hatred in their unregenerate hearts...

I'm not taking sides in this high school debate jockeying that's going on but are the facts involving the Gabriel case going to change the determination of whether homosexuality is wrong or right? .

Sorry this took so long. Had to take a couple of days off. You're much too kind. You're also very welcome. From ourselves. We "do always resist the Holy Ghost." :cool: I try not to upset the status quo but I seem to have some curse on me. :I know: Perhaps later I assume that...

This is a point at which I think we are definitely kindred spirits, SS. It's pretty much all I care about. I understand that that's got to be hard to take coming from a dyed-in-the-wool denominationalist like me but it's a hill I'm willing to die on. I think one thing that's definitely at play...

You betcha, Pal. ;) .

That's really nice of you to say, SS, but it does make me wonder why we couldn't just skip the gnat-straining. Surely you know what I mean. If I were a federal prosecutor, I'd rather get the guy who has the diamond smuggling habit than the kid who just barely knows that lifting a candy bar is a...

No, I just don't know where the master list of "heavy hitters" is located. And so I figured there must be more than the few who are listed in Hebrews 11, especially since verse 32 seems to be somewhat open-ended. Silly me. I should assumed the argument from silence. .

Believe it or not, I took that into account and gave it it's due consideration. .

And I'd really like to visit your planet someday. Especially if you can't see anything wrong with your wildly erroneous hermeneutic here. We get it—you hate the eternal security doctrine. .

Your incredulity and prejudice is truly staggering. I've been listening to Colby Martin for over 2 hours now. .

The basic human tendency to compassion and sympathy are often understandably exploited by the advocates of LGBT, but it's just another unfortunate equivocation. When God said that men shouldn't make idols and bow down to and worship them, He didn't mean that if the idolaters were mistreated for...

I don't think it is, SS, and frankly, I can't imagine how a short video could overturn the sinfulness of perversion. I've read and heard countless objections to the traditional interpretation of Leviticus 18 and Romans 1 and it always amounts to over-complicating something that is quite simple...

Solomon wrote that, at the height of his backsliding, he kept no delightful thing away from his eyes. We have been ushered into a global culture of virtual kingship where we can gaze upon anything we desire. Couple this with the fact that powerful and authoritative actors can manipulate factual...

Sounds like a good title for a thread. To be fair, this one is about the ethical/moral value of homosexuality. Extreme views are bound to emerge. .
