You are adding a lot that is not in scripture. Sounds like what you imagine it to all mean after reading it. The problem is, all that is written does not occur in the world, for "The kingdom of God does not come with observation." Luke 17:20 ...In order to know the actual truth, all scripture...

I have gay friends too, not a problem. But that doesn't mean we consider the lesser of two evils as a way to walk the Christian walk. We still need to be prepared to answer the subject as Jesus might, to be honest, and stand against all such evil when the situation calls for it.

Well, sure...but that is not what the sign is about.

It wasn't my intention to suggest that it was just a matter of obedience. But rather a deviation from God's command for mankind to portray His intentions for mankind, as being one with God ask Christ with the church. Similar roles are given for men to portray the Head of the church, and for...

Homosexuality is certainly among the most grievous of sins, more than most, because it is directly against God. But, what I was hoping to convey, is that sins are the same to God in one respect (that being a death sentence), but different in the judgment. As for us, we do look at them different...

Your rejection of "the two become one"--the mystery of marriage made clear by Paul, is your problem, and between you and God. Meanwhile, I have stated it, not out of context at all, but correctly, just as Paul did.

We cannot say that such things are right, okay, or that there is nothing wrong with it. Those leaders will answer to God. But do consider, that one sin does not rank as more than another. Each is sin, for which it is appointed once for men to die. Therefore, if we witness sin (as in...

The popular reasoning is that "it is a process." Which is not even biblical, but rather logical for people to gravitate to. So many develop a rationale that they are not speaking against the scriptures, and assume the words are meant a different way. That happens a lot with scripture. The...

Indeed, the scriptures are a word from God or from His servants whom He sends, but reading them makes for different possibilities. "To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life." 2 Corinthians 2:16 This is the nature of interpretations.

Of course it is all that and more. But the main thing that it is, is the revelation of Jesus Christ and the accounts of the fall, God's judgement, mercy, and His plan for salvation, wherein we see repetitions of the evils of men and His judgements, that relate to our own. As for what is most...

You go on and on...which is not necessary. "The two become one" (which I have said already), meaning that as the body and bride of Christ, not only have we been raised up with Him, but we are One with Him, and therefore One with the Father (as they are One)...and therefore, yes, as you say...

If you want to make a case for the dead or death, that is certainly possible, but that is not the end. You are also going in circles with your rationale. Correct me if I have misunderstood what you are saying, but it would appear that you start out saying that dead is dead and the dead are...

I shouldn't take you seriously...so I'll pretend I don't already know...in which case my answer would be: "Yes, if He'll have me." ;) But seriously, in addition to everything else I have quoted, Paul said "for me to live is Christ." Double check with Paul and see if he really meant something so...

Aunty, Much of your post information is in error, even though that does not appear to be the topic, but rather "why do people pray for the dead?" I don't know the history of the doctrine, but I can imagine it came as a result of realizing that our Savior is not limited by time. I would not...

You are answering the question yourself...and you still don't see it. If..."Christ and the Father are one" as you just said...and...we are Christ's body...come on now...what should that tell you? Should that tell you that Jesus and His body are not one? Does that make any sense at all? I mean...

I've read them. If you have a point, make it. Your move.

Tell that to Jesus when you see Him. Tell Him He should have known better than to think He could build His church by the same means as Peter knew He was the Christ. Maybe you should do a word study on it. Obviously you could use the lesson. :rolleyes:

Name calling. Just another example of un-Christian love. More bad fruit.

Explain that.

Perhaps nothing. But you asked about the daggers coming out when we were discussing the quenching of the Spirit.
