Great point! It needs to be understood. Of course, the dualists have to pretend that Jehovah is not synonymous with the Father and is not a different being from Jesus. This is why they are forced to abuse language, like parse synonyms, being and person. It is absurd to suppose that someone who...

OMG! We all do. I'm not talking theory, I'm talking practice. Or are you prepared to say that now you are perfect?

Great! How is it different? In one instance, men marry. In the other instance, men marry.

Wrong. What you knew is wrong. It is about how to respond to those who don't believe because of the Bible's support for homosexuality in a marriage among men while condemning it in other places. Rather than try to make me the subject, why not stick to the subject of the OP?

Not quite. I good translation uses capital LORD, who alone is God. Jesus is never referred to as capital LORD.

I guess you don't know Scripture well referencing one of the most anti-trinitarian verses in a book filled with anti-trinitarian verses. Note the parsing of Jesus from God. Note how the verse does not identify Jesus as being the LORD God but one of many lords in Scripture.

Get real and practical. Get out of this theoretical standard that is impossible to achieve in practice. Too obtuse. Other than Jesus, no one always walks perfectly with God all the time.

Finally! Someone who gets me.

Much love! I hate that!! :p

IMO, the pivot point is habitual. Yes, I know I still sin but also know it is diminishing as my walk with Christ goes on.

I nominate this for post of the year. It works on so many levels. :D

This is one of the reasons I believe in purgatory. 'God's speed' is closer to ALAP than immediately. Clearly, people die before they are fully sanctified, cup fully cleaned.

The apostle Paul was not addressing the question of this thread, which is Biblically supported gay marriage, where men comprise the Bride and Wife in the marriage to Christ.

I meant 'you' in the plural sense. Many obtuse replies, avoiding the apparent contradictions that keep people from believing.

It is necessary to have marriage?

One advantage to not using the word LORD is that it avoids the pretend confusion with lord. Jesus is a lord among many in the Bible and the lord for his followers. Yet, there is only one LORD God, who is none of these lords.

The Bible, when it speaks of men being a Bride and Wife in a marriage. Haven’t you paid attention to anything I’ve written? These obtuse ‘conversations’ go in circles. Who’s on 1st? Prohibition against homosexuality. What’s on 2nd? Men compromising the Bride and Wife in a marriage. I don’t...

Everything is more than it’s defining characteristic. You cannot tell people to only have sex in marriage then deny marriage involves sex. And men being the bride to another man is gay marriage, confined in Scripture. What do we say to this who don’t believe on this basis?

I meant Symbolically advocate for the SIN of homosexuality?

Not an answer to my question. Moreover, this thread is not about heaven or spirits.
