All are true. Obey the government, even as Jesus did and went to the cross.
Thank you. Two more passages explaining that The Father works his will through secular government
are on my list...and that last one is really the clincher!

In quoting (1 Peter 2:13-16), are you saying, because the U.S. law supports and declares homosexuality as good and right, that God supports and declares homosexuality as good and right?
Are you saying if a woman has a husband that’s a fornicator and she divorces him then it’s ok for her to Marry another?
As to the other question, I don’t practice it myself because it’s a sin detestable in the sight of God as is all sin, but I’m guilty of it because I’m a sinner.
As for accepting mans laws, New Testament scripture is very clear. Doesn’t say in my opinion, we are to practice them all.
Do you pay taxes, Jesus observed that law?
I’ll see if I can clarify, any Alleged, self proclaimed Christian telling people their rejected of Christ because their a sinner, is a liar, murderer, and a thief( the spirit of Antichrist.
That is not what I’m saying but you can’t hear anything for the bullseye you have placed on the back of every homosexual. You can’t deny Romans 13:1-2
[1] Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. [2] Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
So are you saying man has changed the ordinance of God? If so, wouldn’t disagree in that is what I meant by the laws are changing. Do not mean this to be condemning but in hope of the work of the life-giving Spirit: if you will notice gay marriage as acceptable by the government receiving its seal of approval promotes vanity and pride which is maybe what you despise so much about it. That it is then paraded on television and celebrated. As is women who gain the governments seal of approval to abort a child at any stage of pregnancy. It promotes not less vanity and corruption but more. Those are not the only laws being changed but now even family law is changing to promote error. How do you know it is not God’s will for the world to be taken in a snare?
If they cuffed you and brought you into the court and convicted you as being an homosexual and condemned you under the law. Would you stand there with your mouth shut and bear His suffering...to partake of His shame and humiliation? Or would your pride be too big. You may argue that was only for Him but you’ll have to fully ignore “My sheep Hear My voice and follow Me.” And “And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.”
Still we are not to hate the person but the bondage they are held in. The world promises false peace. He gives real peace. In no way are you easy to be intreated...why would any homosexual come ask about your God...your God is hate. As the love and peace movement and getting stoned and loving-up on everyone accomplished nothing so does the white pointing hats and lynchings. Neither does your phobias accomplish anything.
He said to submit. Jeremiah 13:18 Say unto the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves, sit down: for your principalities shall come down, even the crown of your glory.
He said the principalities we are speaking of is coming down and a new government is being put in place...His. We are to have patience and do what He said which you seem to spit on as it appears weak and therefore to you vile.
What I am not getting...(under the New Covenant) ..how homosexuals are held up as the most abominable. Sin is sin is it not?
According to most who post in this thread....God hates the Homosexuals ...BUT what about -the lier , the adulterer , ( those married after divorce) the glutton, the gossiper... why is homosexuality picked out from all the rest ?
Does He not hate all these too? I know lots of lying Christians who bend the truth. Cheat on taxes etc etc...
I mean, if we are talking about who is" in" and who is "out"...what about
Rev 21
8 "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."
I see this list...yet I don't see you, ladycross, Taken, etc etc warning about these, and how terrible they are and how much God hates them...and they should be driven out of the neighbourhood far away from the rest of us. etc etc..
See what I mean? This thread does not make any sense.
Things will not "make sense", until meaning, understanding and applicability is revealed.
And numerous people have DIFFERENT meanings, understandings and applicabilities.
Thus the Conversation becomes a quagmire.
For example: Sin, Christian, Saved, Born Again, Converted, Second Coming, Rapture, etc. Are not words ALL meant, understood or applied the SAME by ALL People.
And WITHOUT each individual EXPLAINING what those terms MEAN TO THEM, yet repeatedly USING those terms, the Conversation between two, not knowing what the other thinks things MEAN, can QUICKLY turn confrontational.
Yet if every person Explains what those terms mean to them, in every situation, Others Complain, their post is too long.
Simply put from MY meaning, understanding, application to ME.
Sin is hearing of God and then Disbelief in God.
Sin is hearing of Jesus and then Disbelief in Jesus.
Sin is hearing of Christ and then Disbelief in Christ.
Sin is hearing of the HS and then Disbelief in the HS.
That simple.
Sin is Standing Against, Disbelief In, Thee Lord God Almighty.
And Sin IS ONLY Forgiven "BY" God.
(Sin is NOT being mean, lying, cheating, corruption....BETWEEN man and man)
That APPLIES to me, A GENTILE.
What (APPLIED/APPLIES) to the Tribes of ISRAEL (was/is) Different.
Sin to ISRAEL, was governed UNDER LAWS.
Steal a goat, food, money, a man....a sin.
Cheat a man out of his property...a sin.
Lie to your neighbor, wife, kids, etc...a sin.
Mix fabrics...a sin.
Marry outside of Israel...a sin.
Not provide for your family...a sin.
Not teach your family about God...a sin.
Not work...a sin.
Not set time for prayer / worship God...a sin.
Not rest your fields...a sin.
Not offer animals blood unto God...a sin.
Not observe feasts / festivals...a sin.
On, and on and on..SINS according to "LAW"
Violate A LAW, then there were Consequences that God directed and man wrote and man informed the men of their tribe.
NONE of that Applied to a Gentile....unless and until A GENTILE AGREED to assimilate and LIVE AS an ISRAEL agreed to LIVE by such Laws.
I said (APPLIED/APPLIES}, pertaining to ISRAEL TRIBES...because, the FACT is Jesus fulfilled the Law, which MEANS once the LAW was "accomplished", the penal laws that were the laws of "negative consequences" for violating the Law, BECAME MOOT.
The thing about A LAW is;
1) A Postive Law, Directs.
2) A Negative Law, Prohibits or is the method for doling out a Negative Consequence for disobedience of the Postivie Law.
It is the PENAL LAW (Negative LAW), that is the "FORCE POWER" to do something, when a Positive Law in disobeyed.
IOW, once a Positive LAW is fuliflled, the FORCE POWER (Penal Law) becomes MOOT...
The Force and Effect, no longer Stands.
As in what I listed in Examples...
LIKE...
It was a Positive LAW, that ISRAEL Tribesmen were Required to yearly take their PURE Animal and present it in the Temple Court, for that animal to be the persons SIN OFFERING.
To FAIL to do so, WAS A SIN, and meant that their years sins would not be forgiven.
But ONCE Jesus OFFERED HIS PURE BLOOD...
THAT Requirement, ie THAT LAW was fulfilled.
And the Consequence for NOT bringing a pure Animal to the Temple for a SIN Offering, Became MOOT, (ie no longer necessary).
And there was no Consequence FOR NOT bringing an Animal to be Offered.
And THOSE THINGS...(By and THROUGH Mosaic LAWS) were GIVEN to ISRAEL TO DO...NOT Gentiles.
When Jesus Arrived ON EARTH...and then Jesus was REVEALED, He IS the Christ Messiah....
It was ISRAEL first notified, and taught, The Messiah they had been Waiting For....HAS ARRIVED...Your Laws are Fulfilled...Your Penal Consequences are WITHOUT Force and Effect....Salvation Has Come unto Them...ONCE and Forever and For All "believing, trusting & accepting" generations...
YEAH...some believed, Awe...some didn't.
AND THEN; Enter Saul / Paul...
Salvation...Of NOT ONLY ISRAEL ... BUT Gentiles ALSO.
Gentiles? Gentiles who do not Believe IN God? Huh? Correct.
Israel had been IN Faith to God...and being INTRODUCED to their Messiah Savior.
Gentiles were being INTRODUCED TO Israels Messiah Savior AND To Israels God.
You are familiar....INDIVIDUAL MEN, each deciding and choosing WHAT THEY BELIEVE and are WILLIG TO ACCEPT.
In Ancient days and to this day.
Some Israel accepting God and Christ Jesus, some not.
Some Gentiles accepting Christ Jesus and God, some not.
ISRAEL was given a "CAVEAT".
1) Accept Christ Jesus, become Forgiven All Sins NOW, Have your soul restored and SAVED from a future Destruction, Have your spirit born again, to ever lasting life, BY the everylasting SEED of God....Awesome!!
OR
2) Continue UNDER THE LAW....BTW, EVERY part of the LAW.....and let's see AT THe END of your Natural Life...."IF" you were Obedient UNDER the LAW and worthy of Salvation and Ever Lasting Life.....(Like your forefathers, WHO became saints)....
OR (Like your forefathers, WHO ignored Gods LAWS, and adopted mens laws, men's traditions, men's ideas of right and wrong, following Idols and other gods)....and Became Separated from Thee Lord God Almighty forever.)
ISRAEL TODAY, is a combination...Some remain under the Law (since Jesus gave a CAVEAT...He fulfilled the Law, and Israel can accept that....OR Israel can remain UNDER the Law, (according to the Caveat...the law was fulfilled, BUT NOT DESTROYED) which requires them to be UNDER ALL of the LAW. (And that is a feat, since they have NO Temple IN Jerusalem, Which Thee Temple, expressly IN Jerusalem, WAS THEE designated place FOR Animal Sacrifice, "FOR" their forgiveness of "yearly" sins.)
And SOME of ISRAEL TODAY has Become Converted...calling themselves;
Messanic Jews.......(not Christians).
A Christian IN Scripture is what one man NOT following Jesus' teachings, CALLED another man WHO WAS following Jesus' teachings.
Today, Christian, can mean, a follower....or a Converted man. Christian is used interchangeably, even though there is a Distinct difference between a Follower and a Converted man.
And that lends to confusion in a conversation, when two people do not express the exact meaning of how they use the term Christian.
I am a Gentile.
My Sin was not, is not against people, as According to Mosaic LAW.
I was NOT Under the Law, nor Agreed to Be subjected to their Laws.
My Sin was being naturally born Against God, Against Christ Jesus.
My Sin would be hearing of God, hearing of Christ Jesus and NOT believing In Him.
My Sin of Disbelief Continued, Until I decided to to Confess my Belief, and COMMIT my Life TO thee Christ Lord Jesus.
ONCE I DID THAT, I became "MADE" a new Creature, BY the Power of God.
ONCE I became "MADE" a new Creature, the OLD DIED.
ONCE THE OLD WAS DEAD, the OLD which SUBMITTED to Christ the Lord Jesus, COULD no long DECIDE to REJECT GOD...IT IS DEAD.
The DEAD know nothing. The DEAD do not make decisions and choices.
And THAT is the premise of OSAS.
Once a Conversion is MADE, the old is dead and the new has Forever life with God.
(And THIS is also WHY, the distinction between simply a Follower (who CAN QUIT believing at any time) and a Converted man (who is forever with God)...is so important for men to distinguish, especially when conversing on an open forum.)
And now simply giving MY understanding, becomes lengthy, but without knowing the understanding of every person one converses with....it simply becomes page after page of spit arguing.
Glory to God,
Taken
Thank you.
What an excellent post this is. Yay!!
I usually get lost half way through your ( VERY) long post....but I read every word of this one, right to the end. ;)
I like your breakdown of definitions...very good points. :cool:
Thank you very much....H.
Most people seeking same sex relations prefer to have just one sex partner in their lifetime, as God intended. God is opposed to one night orgies as well as "orgies" spread over decades. I say "God" but people have the same "dislike" for sharing multiple intimacies....and biology has the same "dislike" of people sharing fluids every which way.
Pedophiles are considered immature criminals in that they feel they cannot have sex with adults. So celibacy has created the problem for priests, but that is no excuse for abuse of others.
Nonsense most homosexuals have many partners and are up for sex with anyone at a drop of a hat.
Pedo's are totally Satanic and should be shot on sight !
Nonsense many Roman Catholic Priest being celibacy is not a problem at all and I know 3 of them who are my relations, two are left now and they are in their 90's now and I know them well as we talk about anything till the cows come home and they sure as hell don't like Sodomites or tolerate any of that rubbish or all the new age filth peddled about nowadays that's for sure.
In the last year ?That's just not the case. The active gays are somewhat more active than you....for sure. But they really don't get much encouragement to marry so many of them never do. Who should we blame for that?
And don't forget. Because it annoys you, gays are not welcome in your neighborhood, so they are less likely to settle down due to your good influence? hey?

Oh ! why do you make out such nonsense like that as to my family, fact is that such is not true at all, your a Satanist and I know such by your works.I don't really blame the celibacy rule for the high numbers of pedophiles/priests in your family. It is just an easy place for the Pedo's to hide out.
I'm not in favor of shooting priests on sight, but I have had similar thoughts about those who have been found guilty. Likely your relatives are fully aware of the problem. My dad informed me about the "little boys" problem 40 years ago because the was a sheet metal worker on the roof with a birds eye view. We will just have to imagine that priests think God can't see pedophiles as well as my dad working on the church roof.
I just have to remind myself that we are all as guilty as any Pedeophile.
I don't really blame the celibacy rule for the high numbers of pedophiles/priests in your family.
Can a person take full responsibility for their action when the sin nature is the rulership from within ?
When people believe no one can live above all sin, then which one is OK to do ? do we get to choose ?
So how far can a person go to condemn another person for the sinful flesh, if they have sinful flesh also ?
If you believe you are born with a sin nature.
Then maybe that is how some can justify Homosexuality as equal to any other sin.
Lived across the street from two sodomites who preached the lifelong partnership, more faithful than heteros lie.Nonsense most homosexuals have many partners and are up for sex with anyone at a drop of a hat.
Not all homosexuals are the same type, not to mention their are ones who live together for a long time but they also play dicky birds etc with whoever something like swingers and the two faithful types are in the minority by far.
Pedo's are totally Satanic and should be shot on sight !
