Re: I'm not going to flame...

How did homosexuality get brought into this? (That was a rhetorical question, just so everyone knows.)

True Christian "logic" at its finest: muddying simple matters since its inception.

Sweetie,

will it help if I put it in bold and colorful writing?

EVERYTHING THAT THE BIBLE SAYS IS THE WORD OF JESUS BECAUSE JESUS IS THE SAME PERSON AS GOD WHO INSPIRED (PRACTICALLY DICTATED) THE ENTIRE BIBLE.

I really hope that helps, sweetie. I will pray for your soul.

Don't be silly. True Christian™ logic is never muddy. It's Divinely Inspired, which means if it doesn't make sense, that's the fault of fallible human minds. We can't hope to understand how or why God does what He does (Isaiah 55:8-9), but we can comprehend the consequences of refusing to believe anyway (John 3:18; Revelation 20:15).

I hope that helps.

Re: I'm not going to flame...

My dear confused child, I understand that logic is not something you're good at (all of us women lack these complex thinking skills), but I will try to be patient and explain to you things step by step:

1. All of the Bible is the Word fixed that for ya of God, not just the bits Jesus said. It seems to be you who are confused, madam. No one said that the Bible was not the Word of God, nor that only that which Jesus Himself said is important. It just so happens that we were having a discussion whose subject was confined exclusively to Things Jesus Said. Witch Hammer quoted a passage which was not something Jesus said, and I simply pointed that out.

2. As Brother Miller kindly explained to you, Jesus Himself clearly supported Old Testament laws. I didn't say that He didn't. Just that the quoted passage from Leviticus was not something Jesus said. We were discussing Jesus' mouthwords - literal words coming out of a literal mouth - and that particular passage was not directly quoting something Jesus said. Why couldn't [Jesus be] the one who inspired writing the Old Testament in the first place. By True Christian non-logic, yes, sure, Jesus could certainly have been the one who inspired that passage from Leviticus, but the fact remains that it is not quoting Him. It is not something Jesus said and Witch Hammer and I were discussing things Jesus said.

3. Therefore, the Old Testament laws are still valid - which is why we do not wear mixed fabrics, for example (Leviticus 19:19, Deuteronomy 22:11). Never did anyone imply that Old Testament laws were invalid. Thanks for playing!

However, if you really want to see an excerpt from the New Testament condemning homosexuality [...]

Re: I'm not going to flame...

Wow! That is some next-level logical gymnastics right there! I applaud you!



We were talking about something Jesus may or may not have said (had to do with hugs). Witch Hammer quoted from Leviticus, which does not contains things Jesus himself explicitly said (in the traditional sense of using one's mouth the make sounds). I didn't say that Christians aren't to follow the Old Testament, just that it doesn't fall into the category of "Things Jesus Said" - unless you accept WH's logical loop-de-loops, that is.

2. As Brother Miller kindly explained to you, Jesus Himself clearly supported Old Testament laws. Why couldn't he - as Brother Witch Hammer brilliantly explained, Jesus (who is the same God as the Father and the Holy Spirit - don't try to understand how that works, your female brain is way too simple for that) is the one who inspired writing the Old Testament in the first place.

However, if you really want to see an excerpt from the New Testament condemning homosexuality, here you go, sweetie - this is just one out of several:

Romans 1:18-32
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

I understand that this is a long passage and it might be hard to comprehend, but I have underlined the most relevant bits. You're welcome, dear.

Re: I'm not going to flame...

Didn't Jesus say something along the lines of "hug thy neighbour"?

No. You're getting mixed up with Brokeback Mountain, my dear. The Bible is the big leather bound tome and the other is a DVD espousing sodomy and paving your way to Hells's flames. This site is becoming more heathen-like by the passing minute.

Re: I'm not going to flame...

Girl, Jesus had existed for an eternity before He impregnated His own mother so that she could give birth to Him so that He could die for us so that we could forever praise Him for making salvation less complicated. He is alpha & omega!

Not sure your point as True Christians follow all laws of the Bible.

Re: I'm not going to flame...

Hmm... I'm pretty sure that's from Leviticus, which is from the Old Testament, so named because it was written before Jesus lived. Kinda thinking He didn't actually say that, but I see where you're going.

Matthew 5:17 --- Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

Re: I'm not going to flame...

No, temptress, he said something like, "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them".

Aww, did you get attached? I know it's hard to let the n00bs go, but we must. This place is a bit of an acquired taste and not everyone can stomach it.
