You keep saying the issue is “my interpretation,” but you have not shown a single verse I used out of context. Not one. Pointing to Scripture and quoting it plainly is not the same thing as twisting it.It is your interpretations of the scripture you are justifying. It is your interpretations I am questioning.
You are conflating your interpretations with the scriptures working from the premise that your views of the scriptures are infallible/ inerrant.
If sin is abhorrent to you...then don't sin by your conflagration.
When God says, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil” ~Isaiah 5:20, that is not my interpretation. That is His warning.
When God says rulers are supposed to “punish evil and protect the innocent” ~Romans 13:3–4, that is not my interpretation. That is His design for government.
When God calls the shedding of innocent blood sin ~Exodus 20:13, and calls same-sex acts against His created order ~Romans 1:26–27, that is not my interpretation. That is His Word, spoken clearly.
You can label these verses “my interpretations,” but you have not shown how the plain reading is wrong. You are simply rejecting what they say. And that is the real issue.
When someone does not like the truth Scripture gives, they claim the problem is “interpretation.” That avoids dealing with what God actually said.
You also warned me not to sin while confronting sin. Scripture already addresses that. It tells us to “judge with righteous judgment” ~John 7:24 and to “reprove the works of darkness” ~Ephesians 5:11. Obeying those commands is not sin. Ignoring them is.
So if you want to challenge what I’ve said, then address the verses themselves. Show from Scripture where I misused any of them. If you cannot, then the problem is not my view. The problem is that the Word of God is confronting yours.
Scripture says: someone who openly supports sin should not assume they are walking with Christ. The Bible never gives assurance to someone who treats sin lightly.
