This makes a whole lot of folks very nervous, but it's really the only way to go. After all, isn't it really the essence of this?: (<--- How do you do that properly?) Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness...

:Bestest: .

It's a hypothetical line that doesn't serve any purpose when imposed on anyone but one's own self. I'm disappointed that you think lust is always sinful, SS. (And here come the surface readers. Tell my wife I love her.) See, there? :IDK: But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by...

Well, you never take me anywhere! Why should I bother?! .

I used to run a 6-axis machining center that cut the fins on turbine engine impellers. :p .

I couldn't help but notice your post history seems to be all from this year. I don't mean to avoid your point at all. But I can't answer for the hypocrites, vipers, and blind guides of the world. And I simply don't have 99% of the objections they have. I believe the tired, old adage that God...

I've never heard of a thread being comparatively about something - lol. Only about stuff and not about stuff. I'm not too good with abstracts and hypotheticals, and my wife says I engage in semantics too much. For instance: "Christians are activating to put a stop to homosexuality" is a bit...

I'll have you know I'm not as gay as people say I am, thank you very much. Chkl: .

Actually, I went by post history. They're all from this year. ;) .

Don't be silly. You're justbeing friendly and coy. :p (And it's both refreshing and appreciated.) I've never seen any reputable, conclusive studies showing that babies are born with sexual inclinations of any kind. Testosterone and estrogen levels are related to all kinds of things, except...

Christ didn't let down the side on morality just because the religious zealots that ran the synagogues of His day were heartless. In fact, He doubled down on it in the Sermon On The Mount. This thread isn't about greed. If you'd like to start one I'd be obliged if you tagged me. I don't have...

That people are convinced of these claims that perversion is an expression of divinely-devised love (like blue eyes?) there can be no doubt. No, I think we'll see that what's actually happening is that your twisted magnifications of what I'm actually saying are in rare form. The term "ill...

By carrying a hate sign? .

There are reasons people give to support that belief. Whether they're wrong or right, whether God hates certain sins more than others or not: Which sins are okay? Which ones should be ignored? Where in the Bible does it say we should wait until we're completely sinless to heed the...

That's probably why we're reminded so often in the NT of the necessity of doing so, despite it seeming to be so obviously intuitive. ;) .

It actually seems kind of stupid to me. Like putting yourself in the least likely place and time to find yourself in a teachable moment. .

I am not trapped in the bonds of sin. I believe Jesus came to set me free. I do fail, but I am without excuse. For there has no temptation taken me but such as is common to man, and God is faithful, who will not suffer me to be tempted above that I am able; but will with the temptation also...

Naturally, I can only answer one objection at a time but, yes, I am sure that Scripture is not contrary to Scripture in the sense that giving gifts does not preclude receiving them. .

We should be compassionate to homosexuals in the same way we should be compassionate to any person who is trapped in the bonds of sin and should encourage them to come to Jesus to find peace and rest for their souls. :) .

There ain't no easy way out. .
