Since Jesus said it is and burned Sodom alive.

1 Corinthians 6
9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites,

How does a Christian not know the scriptures?
When they're not one.

But TM knows. He/she just doesn't like what God said.

Goading and flaming? Isn't that what you just did? Interesting

I'll take the hit.

Someone that promoted a sin God calls abomination isn't here to change God's mind. They're here to attack God,his word,the faith,and advance all sins.

Those who defend them calling evil good and good evil,are either their second account or are false when identifying as in Christ.
A gay,anti-Bible,anti-Jesus,anti-God, person. Calling evil good is Satanic.Period.

There are rules in any Christian forum against promoting sin.
Report them. Whomever they are.

I really don't think there's much use in reporting people unless it's REALLY bad. Gotta have thick skin!

I forgive you. lol

Thick skin is not a problem.

Apostasy is.


But you're probably right. Sin defenders are known by their posts.God will make them give account for every word.

It would be irresponsible of me to engage them and therein invite their fallen nature to further condemn themselves in replies.

That's some encounter attitude youve got going for you.

I've gotten used to this kind of passive-aggressive harassment.

Some folks think that "Encounter Team" means "Door Mat Team." Sorry to disappoint.

I still like your avatar, tho.

 

[BarneyFife]

I forgive you. lol

That's awfully charitable of you.

Just because you're offended doesn't mean you're right.

No passive aggressive behavior on my part. I never imagined encounter team was defined as defending a abominable sin promotor while belittling Christians.


Thanks for the avatar compliment.

 

[Wrangler]

since when is being LGBT a sin?

Since before the beginning of time. Sounds like you don’t know homosexuality is a sin according to the Bible

But I'm not offended. And I'm often wrong.

And you're welcome.

Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. Ezk 16:49

Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. Ezk 16:49

Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. (Jude 1:7)​

Is it hateful or is it fair to ask if you've ever read this?

It seems to me that taking Ezekiel 16:49 as a conclusive, comprehensive statement of the reason Sodom was destroyed could not be very accurate.

You'll notice, by the way, that the fire that consumed Sodom is not still burning. It would seem that the word "eternal" in Scripture, in its various forms, does not always indicate perpetuity but sometimes merely finality. Sodom has never been rebuilt.

This is, of course, a very controversial view and, strangely enough, loathed with seething by many Christians, as we'll soon likely discover.

There is a tendency for folks to see God as threatening when they are not seeking after Him, which is understandable to an extent.

But the Bible as a whole speaks more to the eagerness of God to have his children reconciled to Himself.

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29:11)​

Unfortunately, far too many Christians emphasize the former view. It is a form of idolatry and superstition instituted by the medieval church which, if cherished for too long, can drive a Christian right out of the arms of the One they claim to serve and, so very sadly, bars even more skeptics from the peace that passes understanding.

Strange that someone would detest the idea that the ones who ultimately reject God's love are destined to suffer only commensurate with the evil they've actually perpetrated when the judgment is set. A man named Edward Fudge made this his life's study. I started a thread about the subject a few years ago. It was closed down, not for being against forum rules in premise, but for participant's nastiness and being derailed by anti-cultists after 999 posts.

Of course, when one yields and commits their case to Christ, they suffer no executive judgment whatsoever.

I'm afraid trying to make a hypothetical, legal distinction between tempting thoughts and indulgent ones only clouds the issue. After all, Jesus cleared that up pretty well in The Sermon On The Mount, didn't He?
