A number of years ago America's foremost Christian evangelist Billy Graham was interviewed by Hugh Downs on the current affairs program 20/20. Barbara Walters used to be on it. Hugh wanted to ask Billy about the pressing issues of the day. Abortion, homosexuality, etc. So He asked Mr. Graham is homosexuality a sin? - Billy Graham responded, "Well I would say it is - it is No worse than anything else". (I will add fornication, adultery, etc.) Mr. Downs then asked him - if your child came to you and said they were "gay" would you dis - own them? To which Mr. Graham said - No I would probably Love them More. I do not believe in labels to begin with, but sometimes we use a word - "gay" to describe what we are discussing. My former neighbour when I mentioned this - she said it was Nice Billy would Love them more - but felt that was because he thought they needed to be "fixed". Better to have a compassionate response than what has been displayed by some evangelists, ministers in the past. "Love thy Neighbour", "Do Unto Others, what You Would Have Done to You", "Thou Shall Not Judge", "Judge Not Lest You Be Judged ". "Thou Shall Not Kill", Etc. In the Bible - 11 Samuel 2 Verse 26 - "I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful passing the love of women. 1 Samuel 18 Verse 1 - "The soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Johnathan loved him as his own soul." Verse 3 "Then Jonathan and David made a covenant" - 1 Samuel 21 - "David bowed himself 3 times and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded". Lets remember David had a number of wives (Something most people in the western world do not do today) and yet was held in High Esteem in God's eyes. So regardless of Peoples opinions, thoughts, feelings, and interpretations - has not "Mainstream" Christianity maintained that having an inclination, was not a sin - just do not act on it. We do not see people practicing that - what you do see is people making assumptions, judging, because someone does not meet some "macho"/feminine cultural stereotype - that they are "gay" - name calling in the school yard, because someone is sensitive, has different interests, etc. Wow Human Beings are Messesd Up! A result of the Fall in the Garden Of Eden - if we are going to believe the Bible!

The fact that repentance and a turning away from "the" lifestyle and all sexual sins outlined in Leviticus 18 and others remains. The Lord is being patient with us and is giving us time to choose him and to walk with the Holy Spirit who does indeed have the power to let us overcome our deviances.

In Leviticus 18 it speaks of sex during menstruation being forbidden. Does that still count as a sin or are we free to ignore that as it does not suit us?

Hello, are you married? My wife's menstrual days are now behind, but while it was going on, she would be down for maybe a day or two and would not have the energy to have intimate relations. Generally speaking, the female body is going through a lot and needs rest & recuperation. It is only an act of love towards her not to approach her during her period. The things outlined in Lv. 18 is God's way of saying "don't hurt yourself or your neighbor, especially your wife." He made it a law for the JEWS as a special blessing so that they could stay healthy and light of all that was going on around them. And also because He knew people had a rebellious nature and needed the rod. What do you think?

This is what Christians believe about the Bible: If God commaned something unethical, it doesn't apply to them in the new covenant. If God commanded something "ethical", then it applies to them in the new covenant. In brief, Christians will always cherry pick passages. I'm Christian btw.

Scripture does not distinguish categories of laws. The entire mosaic law has been annulled Eph 2.15. "Written code" is not how we obey God Rom 7.6. We obey God by the fruit of the spirit, developing a character that imitates Christ's self-sacrificial love, against which there is no law Gal 5. love satisfies ALL God's commands Rom 13.9. BTW that means that a same-secs relationship characterized by mutual respect, kindness, faithfulness, sincerity and so on is loving, and thus according to scripture obeys God.

The Law indeed has some difficult passages which need addressing and so will I do. The Law was presented to the recently taken out of slavery Israelites, whom might I add, were not the greatest of followers or the most faithful (for example in exodus 32:1-6, in which, after Moses left for just a few days, they Immediately turned to worshipping random idols and other gods after seeing the literal Sea being split in half). Had God given a perfect Law, what would they have done? Would they have accepted it and kept it? No, Israel struggled and defiled the Law even when it was shifted to fit to what they could accomplish with their hard hearts, as shown all over the OT, for example in Judges. The reason stoning, such a harsh punishment is employed, is because they had Just gotten out of Egypt, the same society that had the Pharaoh's wife be killed if he ever died and killed slaves, which Israelites were, for the Slightest of things. Had God given them correct punishment, they would not have taken the Law seriously and they would definitely not keep it. The Law is also not perfect, outside of its punishment, when it comes to the actual Law, for example with allowing "slavery" or more accurately debt-paying servitude which that itself isn't great either since until the servant payed his debt, he was as property, even if he was to be treated humanly, as we see with Laws such as exodus 21:26, or verses such as 21:20, though both of them imperfect, because of the hard heartness of Isreal. These things are shown, both from the overall tone of God and the way Israel is portrayed all over the OT but also explicitly stated in Matthew 19:7-8, wherein, Jesus, after being questioned about divorce, points out that the only reason Moses and God allowed for it was because of the stubbornness and hardness in heart of Isreal. That it was not meant to be so morally, for what God has put together in the holy bond of marriage is not to be torn apart by man Unless a good reason is given such as sexual immorality in the marriage (I.e. if the man or woman abuses each other and forcing them to have intercourse, if one cheats on the other etc etc.). It is also shown in Numbers 27:1-11, wherein it is deliberately shown in action, with Isreal essentially demanding a king and though God states that it is not right and that they have disgraced him in this way, he still allows it due to Isreal's stubbornness, so that they can at least follow the Law and God under a human king. The Law was made up of three parts;The 10 commandments (moral Law), the ritual law (sacrifices and such for the washing of sin) and the 'government' law. The only perfect part of the Law are indeed the 10 commandments.

It didn't say "put men who are attracted to men to death", it said "put men who lie with a male a womanly bed to death". We don't have that concept anymore so people think it's about homxoesuality. Regardless of what Leviticus actually meant (it's disputed), we no longer follow it Eph 2.15, it's not how we obey God Rom 7.6, and risks angering God to impose it Acts 15.10.

The question in this video is a good illustration of the fundamental misunderstanding of the Bible that many (most) people have. And sometimes anti-Christ cherry picks certain topics in an attempt to cast God with negative stereotypes. The Bible is written in two sections, the Old Contract and the New Contract (Old Testament and New Testament). Under the Old Contract people were under the law - the penalty for breaking some of those laws was death (similar to what many countries have today for murderers). Putting people to death in the Old Contract times was a portrayal of what was required of a person that did not have God’s grace (grace = unmerited, unearned favor). But under the New Contract that was put in place when Jesus the Christ died, the contract states that if a person believes in Jesus the Christ and the plan of redemption that He carried out, then that person won’t be condemned to hell - and under the New Contract there is no concept of the Church/believers putting people to death for any sin. Every human that has ever walked the face of the earth (other than Jesus) has been/is a sinner. Every one of us must acknowledge that sin and turn from it (repent). It doesn’t matter if the sin feels natural or not. Call out to God and ask for His forgiveness - this life is a one shot deal - there are no do overs - once you lie down and take your last breath your destiny is sealed so a wise person does not put off seeking God.

Yes God is merciful but when we dont repent and show tolerance toward homosexuality , that time wait how judgment can start from you not from homosexuals.

I believe that the punishment of the law apply but only to true God-led states(only the state of ANCIENT Israel has ever truly followed God),and the only change the messiah brought to the punishments of the law is that if people confess faith in the messiah and repent they get a second chance (as with the example of the adulteress who the messiah saved from stoning by the pharisees),notice how in the example of the adulteress in the end he told her "sin no more",meaning if she had sinned more she should have been rightly punished, that's why I only believe in only a second chance ON THIS SUBJECT on other subjects I believe as the messiah said that we should forgive 77x7 times.

Curt hi it is obvious to two groups of people (a) those who don't think much about what they are reading in the Bible and (b) those who pick and choose verses to suit themselves. It seems that texts on homosexuality are universal yet a prohibition on having sex during menstruation (just three verses away) was only for the people of Israel four thousand years ago. Hypocrisy. The texts on incest still apply but not the ban on lending money at interest. Hypocrisy. The ban on elders having tattoos is upheld but still more verses are ignored. Hypocrisy.

Jimmy B. I do appreciate you taking time and trouble to write down an account but I still have questions and some of your points seem wrong to me. Am I right in thinking that the New Covenant started with Jesus' resurrection rather than with his birth. So the Gospels still lie in the Old Covenant, right? I agree with much you say about the fulfilment of the Law. You express that well. I notice that Paul's letters dominate your theology and I would ask that you be wary of that - it's a classic sign of fundamentalism to take Paul literally but take Jesus figuratively. So tattoos are now OK? Many Christians would disagree with you on that. The 10 Commandments - I am sure that you are at Church like me every Sunday - but do you observe that day of the week by doing nothing - no work, no shopping etc. The Sermon on the Mount is largely ignored in Christian Churches as it is felt that Jesus set impossible standards which we have no chance of attaining. I am still unclear - the prohibition of male to male sexual contact - still in force or not? the ban on couples having sex during the woman's menstruation (3 verses away from the above verse) - still in force or not? the ban on lending money at interest - still in force or not? Regards, DAVID
@davidkennedy62517 жыл бұрын
You have posted a lot for me to think on here. You must both think and type fast. Jesus and Paul do teach different things. On wealth and possessions Jesus is far more radical than is Paul. Jesus tells the rich young man to sell all he has and give the money to the poor and he speaks in the Sermon on the Mount about not taking a wage and living by faith 'Do not worry'. In the parable of Dives and Lazarus, the rich man goes to hell for his callous indifference to need; Matthew 25:31-46 makes the same point. Jesus talks about the camel through the eye of a needle and about worshipping riches in Heaven not Earth. He wants us to get as far from materialism as we can. Paul says we should be content whether we are poor or rich and the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. So in 21st century UK and USA we ignore Jesus' teaching on this - he could have saved his breath for all the notice we take of him - and we cling to Paul's teaching saying 'I know I am rich but I am content and I don't love money. Jesus and Paul also differ on homosexuality. Jesus says nothing directly - it does not seem a big issue to him. But Paul sees it as a serious sin and as a major issue. I find Romans 1 very hard to read but there is no denying his anger. The Gospels are a transition stage - very well reasoned. I have learned something profound tonight. The 'ask Pastor John' videos are hit and miss = sometimes wise, other times, well, not so wise! . Bestiality is prohibited only in the OT - no mention of it in the New. Is that OK now? I still don't understand why we follow the Law on male homosexual behaviour, incest, bestiality, loving your neighbour but we don't on tattoos, usury, sex during menstruation, Jubilee social justice etc. It is picking and choosing however you say it. The question is whether the picking and choosing is on consistent Biblical principles or is it just to suit us? I know what my experience is. "Now, therefore, why are you putting God to the test by placing a yoke on the neck of the disciples that neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?" That sounds a bit like the traditional understanding of the Christian life for a homosexual person - lifelong celibacy. It's grim, desperate, depressing, isolating, lonely, tedious, repressive - unbearable or as near to unbearable as you can get. Blessings, David

I see a lot of people who want to interpret and reinterpret the scriptures to suit their earthly desires. The coming and death of Jesus did not abolish sin as far as I can tell, that is my clear opinion. To know Jesus and to love Jesus and to strive to be like him leaves no room to just ignore Gods law and say it is totally obsolete and abolished now, I can go do whatever I want that makes me feel good. It is to to show us nobody can live under such harsh laws and that God understands and has mercy. He is giving us chance after chance after chance to come to him. You can't expect to pick and choose what is and what isn't an abomination, as far as I am told it is an abomination and he will deal with it. You can only expect that God loves you enough to not put you to death immediately for your sins that he will give you a little more time to figure out how repulsive the sin is to him. He never said, awe screw it just do whatever I changed my mind about what is good and what is bad. At least to the best of my knowledge. If you can clearly show me evidence in full context, then I might just subscribe to this point of view. No, we are not to kill homosexuals, it is up to God to decide their punishment but I am not seeing ANYWHERE that he is now just cool with it and you can just waltz up to heavens gate wearing a tu tu and lipstick and expect him to open the door. I have a lot of friends and family that have chosen homosexuality and I don't want to see them killed I still love and cherish them therefore I pray for them, and keep fighting Satan wherever I see him. You can show them the error of their ways and stand by their side but be careful condoning stuff that you have no right to condone. At the same time be careful not to condemn things you have no right to condemn. We are all on this ride together and we are all stained with sin , when you recognize your sin don't look to find scripture to justify your sin, you already know. It is imprinted on your heart and the fact that you are digging to justify it should make it clear you have an inherent knowledge of truth and sometimes you just don't like the rules cause it is not thrilling. If you really need an adrenaline rush to feel the thrill then ride a roller coaster or something but don't be deceived and worst of all don't be your own deceiver.

the reason for the clear warning in any of God s 4 books are for the people to think on how severe the punishment of the hell fire can be if they insist on the big sins so they may dont commit it. you have to accept that act is a sin in the eyes of God so they have to repent. Im only here to read comments on how people are realy good on hiding the truth on the homosexuality matter. you seem to understand this. because we are not judgers the very first rule of God is to obey the laws of the country you live in. but you have to know the sins. but people close their eyes to the warnings.even the things Jesus said from his blessed lips.they love to interpret it to something else. I also came across lot of christian think Jesus died for all of their sins majority of you think that way. But I asked priests if God was so loving and caring why did he destroyed people before us for their sins. the same sins are so normal right now. like homosexuality. loan on interest. sex without mariage. İs God bipolar to destroy people then let people kill his son or prophet to wash the sins of people that are living right now.despite he is the only divine creator a being outside of time the all knowing. I also asked why the first 300 years christianity did not had the consept of trinity. who are the heretics are now the early christians or now. they believed Jesus was messiah and prophet and what about the christians rushed to the arabian peninsula when they heard of last prophet is now has the last testament. they knew it from scriptures. what are the scriptures they are talking about. I ll not trust people interpret words of their savior despite its cleary there for everyone. and not even question the first 300 years of christianity when they were beliving Jesus to be prophet. gospel is hogwash watered down with how God loves everyone. that is not true. he destroyed people before us to know how severe the punishment is and to be sign for the mankind. and you know that.Quran has scientific signs no human kind knew look at how god describes human embryo in quran 6. century man could knew this? the true stories of the prophets look at prophets in quran vs bible, and the antichrist how will he emerge how can we know that this mans is the falsemessiah is thought is islam . I have yet met a christian that knows who is the antichrists is .or how to differentiate him. there are lot issues mate and noone of it is answered because many of the church fathers speculated on something about Jesus s words. then others thought his speculations are Jesus s exact word so now they speculated on top of those speculations. the first 300 years of christianity is same as islam. and there are no room for the change. we will not get a nother prophet. except that Jesus will return some day in time of need to fight the antichrist but that makes large chunk of people heretics who will save them before or after Jesus. Quran 5.116. And behold! Allah will say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Did you say unto men, worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allah.?" He will say: "Glory to Thee! never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, You would indeed have known it. You know what is in my heart, You I know not what is in Thine. For You know in full all that is hidden. 5.117. "Never said I to them aught except what Thou didst command me to say, to wit, 'worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord'; and I was a witness over them whilst I dwelt amongst them; when Thou didst take me up Thou was the Watcher over them, and Thou art a witness to all things. 5.118. "If Thou dost punish them, they are Thy servant: If Thou dost forgive them, Thou art the Exalted in power, the Wise." 5.119. Allah will say: "This is a day on which the truthful will profit from their truth: theirs are gardens, with rivers flowing beneath,- their eternal Home: Allah well-pleased with them, and they with Allah. That is the great salvation, (the fulfilment of all desires). 5.120.

If you study Islam you will notice it does have in common slavery and killing gays just like the Bible but there is no child murder. The prophet Muhammad went as far as saying to treat your slaves like brothers by feeding them clothing them and one of the best deeds a man can do is to free a slave. There are dozens of hadiths that say that freeing slaves is an expiation to sins. The reason why slavery exists is to force hostile populations to live side by side with muslims and see how they act, pray etc. Also an explanation I have found is that some people are slaves as God wants to test them. Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “They are your brothers whom Allah has put under your authority, so if Allah has put a person’s brother under his authority, let him feed him from what he eats and clothe him from what he wears, and let him not overburden him with work, and if he does overburden him with work, then let him help him.” Narrated by al-Bukhari (6050)

If that law as well as the rest of the laws lasted only for a time, then the Bible gives no basis for objective moral values. The pastor does some hand waving with his analogy, but the problem still remains. For example, if one is stoned in ancient times for working on a Saturday, but currently one is not stoned for working on a Saturday, that is an example of an "absolute moral truth" not being absolute at all. Laws that change overtime are neither absolute nor sensible.

Well if the one who makes the law decides to change it, then the law can change. The law is not the center focus of the Bible, but the maker of the law is. Only Jesus has the authority to redefine the law because he is God and he proves that through his life and work in the fulfillment of prophecies.

@@SteveTheWizard Why can't you understand? If moral truths change overtime, they are not absolute and therefore not objective. If God says: "Stone all the adulterers!" in ancient Israel, and then later Jesus says: "No, let the one who is without sin cast the first stone! (in other words, don't stone her at all)", that is not an objective law. The apologetic of claiming Jesus fulfills the law may work for the sacrificial system, but when God decides to do a full u-turn on quite a few things in the new testament, that simply shows relative morality.

The morality hasn't changed, simply the punishment for the crime has changed. There always has been an objective moral law that hasn't changed. Even before it was revealed to humanity sin was still sin, but the proper punishment (earthly or heavenly) for those sins has changed as God is the ultimate judge of those things. He can change the punishment without changing the law and still have an unchanging moral law.

This could've been answered very simply because in 1 Corinthians 13:9-10 it states "For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away." With this in mind, Leviticus 20:13 should be compared with Romans 6:23 keeping in mind Isaiah 33:22. In basic summary, no Christian should stone a gay person because the wages of sin is death. That death is both spiritual and physical separation from God knowing He is the lawgiver, king, and judge. Yet to further add Christ also said, "Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye." Why? "Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good." (Romans 12:10-21) How? "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." (Matthew 22:37-40) "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets." (Matthew 7:12) "My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; and ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts? Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats? Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called? If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: but if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all." (James 2:1-10) respect of persons = partiality; God doesn't play favorites

Well essentially, you have to listen to the morals, not the ritual Law, which Jesus ended by being the eternal sacrifice or the government Law. The Law was presented to the recently taken out of slavery Israelites, whom might I add, were not the greatest of followers or the most faithful (for example in exodus 32:1-6, in which, after Moses left for just a few days, they Immediately turned to worshipping random idols and other gods after seeing the literal Sea being split in half). Had God given a perfect Law, what would they have done? Would they have accepted it and kept it? No, Israel struggled and defiled the Law even when it was shifted to fit to what they could accomplish with their hard hearts, as shown all over the OT, for example in Judges. The reason stoning, such a harsh punishment is employed, is because they had Just gotten out of Egypt, the same society that had the Pharaoh's wife be killed if he ever died and killed slaves, which Israelites were, for the Slightest of things. Had God given them correct punishment, they would not have taken the Law seriously and they would definitely not keep it. The Law is also not perfect, outside of its punishment, when it comes to the actual Law, for example with allowing "slavery" or more accurately debt-paying servitude which that itself isn't great either since until the servant payed his debt, he was as property, even if he was to be treated humanly, as we see with Laws such as exodus 21:26, or verses such as 21:20, though both of them imperfect, because of the hard heartness of Isreal. These things are shown, both from the overall tone of God and the way Israel is portrayed all over the OT but also explicitly stated in Matthew 19:7-8, wherein, Jesus, after being questioned about divorce, points out that the only reason Moses and God allowed for it was because of the stubbornness and hardness in heart of Isreal. That it was not meant to be so morally, for what God has put together in the holy bond of marriage is not to be torn apart by man Unless a good reason is given such as sexual immorality in the marriage (I.e. if the man or woman abuses each other and forcing them to have intercourse, if one cheats on the other etc etc.). It is also shown in Numbers 27:1-11, wherein it is deliberately shown in action, with Isreal essentially demanding a king and though God states that it is not right and that they have disgraced him in this way, he still allows it due to Isreal's stubbornness, so that they can at least follow the Law and God under a human king. The Law was made up of three parts;The 10 commandments and general moral instructions (moral Law), the ritual law (sacrifices and such for the washing of sin) and the 'government' law. The only perfect part of the Law is the moral Law.

Contemporan Poet exactly it does not make sense, but people have to understand that the Bible has been written and re-written hundreds of times into several languages. Historically, the Bible was also compiled years after it was written. The scrolls that make up the Bible were scattered around the world and found in their original language years later, therefore there are bound to be some inconsistencies in the book that gave rise to a whole religion. Personally, I can’t blindly follow whatever the Bible or any religion entirely says because there is no guarantee of everything being God’s word. The Ten Commandments and the Book of David seem to be the texts with most integrity. To be honest, I believe that following the Ten Commandments is probably the best guide to living life. If you take life at it’s core people are bound to make mistakes, but it doesn’t mean that because you do something sinful in life that you becomes bad person forever. I, personally, do not think being queer is a sin and I don’t know whether God thinks of homosexuality as a sin or not only God knows. I do know, however that people suffer tremendously with being queer for many reasons. Furthermore, regardless of who people love, I know that what matters the most is the goodness found within people.

These are two very different audiences in two very different contexts and that's why you see differences in the commands.

*"Doesn’t the Bible Tell Christians to Put Homosexuals to Death?"* No. The Bible tells Christians that they cannot practice homosexuality, themselves, however the punishment for homosexuality is not death but, rather, exclusion from the Kingdom of God. It is true that God told the ancient Israelites to put homosexuals to death. However, that theocratic punishment applied only to those living under Israel's then theocratic government.

The Bible does tell Christians to put homosexuals to death, and for most of their history Christians happily obliged, often going the extra mile of torturing homosexuals to death.
@smeatonlighthouse43844 жыл бұрын
No it most definitely does not tell us to do that. It is a stinking practice, but the Christian is a New Testament person who is saved by Grace which is the totally undeserved favour of God bestowed on the sinner. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, completely changed how God deals with sin - note, not God's opinion or hatred of the act of homosexuality which never will change. The Son has revealed God the Father as a God of Love, who is willing to save all who come unto God by Christ Jesus. The saved individual becomes a 'new creation' in Christ Jesus and all will be changed. The homosexual practice will cease because there will be power from the Holy Spirit to reject this unseemly practice.

Sounds like a recipe for virtually any interpretation of the bible. A tortuous exercise of logic, IMO. The author makes an interpretation that favors his current humanitarian views.

This is complete nonsense. Leviticus doesn't qualify its laws. Leviticus doesn't say "Until Jesus is born this is a law, but after he's born you don't have to pay attention to any of these laws." In the analogy this guy gives, the military guidelines specifically say that certain rules should be used in specific instances. If you have to try this hard to explain away the plain language of your holy book, maybe it isn't as divinely inspired as you think it is.

If theyre gay, in our 'church', and refuse to repent of those sins we are to: John 7:24 24 Stop judging by outward appearances, and start judging justly 1 Corinthians 5:11-13 11 But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people. 12 What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? 13 God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked person from among you." 2 John 9-11 9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. 10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. Titus 1:9-13 9 He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it. 10 For there are many rebellious people, full of meaningless talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision group. 11 They must be silenced, because they are disrupting whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach-and that for the sake of dishonest gain. 12 One of Crete’s own prophets has said it: “Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons.” 13 This saying is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith Timothy 5:20 20 As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all, so that the rest may stand in fear. Romans 16:17-18 17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. 18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple. Acts 20:28-30 28 Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. 29 I know that after I leave, wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. 30 Even from your own number, men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them. 2 Timothy 4:2-4 2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables

I’m not saying that we should surround ourselves with sinners and be content. But in this world you will face those who are lost, who know not what they do. They need to be aware that we walk by faith and not by sight. The moment you judge another man for his sin, is the moment you will be judged for you’re sin as well-for no man is perfect. We all sin. Therefore love one another as Christ Jesus loves as well as those we desire to persecute.

Ask the police and the courts. They are the ones in place to execute criminals. If they don't see homosexuality as a crime now then there is nothing you can do. You don't even understand what a law is. You think they were just vigilante killers running around? It specifically says there must be two or three consistent witnesses to prove a crime and the executions were public after the judge pronounced the sentence, not private killing parties. If the Bible became law, then you would deliver those homosexuals to the judges. But if it was found that you don't have any evidence of their act and you are the only accuser then YOU would yourself be executed as a false accuser in God's law. But you can't even read the whole chapter and compare verses. Any lawyer and judge does that with government law, they don't just take one law and use only that. Laws are understood in relation to other laws. Your little joke just shows how dumb you are.

But God so loves us such that He came down in the person of Jesus, live a righteous life but then paid the pentaly of all our sins upon the cross. If we place our trust and hope in Jesus's goodness on our behalf, then we will not get what we deserve because the fine was paid by Jesus.

Its not up to any of us to convert anyone, we can only introduce and help people. The conviction and conversion is God alone. Suffice to say the young man and his family never bothered turning up to church again. very sad.

No God does not change. When people made animal sacrifices in order to wash away their sins, God looked forward in time to the blood of Jesus. The animals never really did anything they were only an arrow pointing to things to come. The old testimate was imperfect because it was looking forward to Jesus, and since Jesus had not yet come some things were different. The law was given to us to show that we needed a saviour. It was impossible to follow all the commands, and God knew this. He was showing his people that they needed something else. Jesus came and brought the perfect system meaning that many aspects of the old are unneeded. Now we only follow laws that are repeated in the new testament. The jews do not believe Jesus was the messiah therefore they missed the whole point of the law and they still follow old testament commands. Jews are not Christians because they are missing the Christ part.

For he who is serving Messiah in these matters is well-pleasing to Elohim and approved by men. So, then, let us pursue the matters of peace and the matters for building up one another. Do not destroy the work of Elohim for the sake of food. All indeed are clean, but evil to that man who eats so as to cause stumbling.

But in Mathew 5: 17 it states “Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.” This means that the law in the Old Testament wasn’t complete and in the New Testament it becomes fulfilled with the will of God and so it never changed but it became fulfilled sorry if this doesn’t help you and I really hope you can become connected in his word

Let me expose you real quick. God taught through love and it is said that when he would preach he would do so in a soft,Welcoming way so that way his followers could feel the love he has for them. So when the bible says "they shall be put to death, there blood is upon them" that is not the way of God or how he would preach. Who talks like that? It sounds so inhumane.

Even more so then these other two, who exactly do you know has heard the voice of God at any time? He has given us his word through others and that so we might recieve it ourselves. Where then did you hear God's voice so you could judge exactly how he sounded? Of softness of voice is the point then surely John Piper is God to you because I have heard no hardness in his speech. If you judge by the appearance you will only appear to be right. Judge righteous judgement and you will be right.

All religious myths are narrow minded. There isn't anything broadminded about believing that your own soul is holy, while other souls are evil, or that your own soul is sin-free, while other souls are loaded with sin. Only human animals suffer from such grandiose delusions. If humans went extinct, other forms of life would carry on suffering, as they did before humans and their religious mythologies ever polluted planet earth. The religious word "sin" hurts many humans. If we replaced the religious word "sin," with the non-religious word "behavior," it would keep us grounded. Humans would no longer believe that a god existed that was spying and judging their every move and thought. I suggest that we should be taught as children that we are whole, just as we are, and that, concerning how we treat others, the onus is on us.

You have missed the part where we start out unholy and by no means of ourselves have been redeemed by God's own Son, who loved us and gave his own life for us. If some other man gave e their life for you, you would thank him, but because it is God you reject him to justify yourself in darkness having seen nothing of your own soul. That which we see we have seen by faith and that not of ourselves it is the gift of God. The same gift I have you can gave if you would recieve that you are wicked and without ability to do or judge rightly unto repentance. But you would not hear me save by the grace of my Father.

Not really, as Chirst said, he came to fulfil the Law not to abolish it. The covenant is done, yes but the moral side of the Law cannot be done away with, objective morality does not change. Well essentially, you have to listen to the morals, not the ritual Law, which Jesus ended by being the eternal sacrifice or the government Law. The Law was presented to the recently taken out of slavery Israelites, whom might I add, were not the greatest of followers or the most faithful (for example in exodus 32:1-6, in which, after Moses left for just a few days, they Immediately turned to worshipping random idols and other gods after seeing the literal Sea being split in half). Had God given a perfect Law, what would they have done? Would they have accepted it and kept it? No, Israel struggled and defiled the Law even when it was shifted to fit to what they could accomplish with their hard hearts, as shown all over the OT, for example in Judges. The reason stoning, such a harsh punishment is employed, is because they had Just gotten out of Egypt, the same society that had the Pharaoh's wife be killed if he ever died and killed slaves, which Israelites were, for the Slightest of things. Had God given them correct punishment, they would not have taken the Law seriously and they would definitely not keep it. The Law is also not perfect, outside of its punishment, when it comes to the actual Law, for example with allowing "slavery" or more accurately debt-paying servitude which that itself isn't great either since until the servant payed his debt, he was as property, even if he was to be treated humanly, as we see with Laws such as exodus 21:26, or verses such as 21:20, though both of them imperfect, because of the hard heartness of Isreal. These things are shown, both from the overall tone of God and the way Israel is portrayed all over the OT but also explicitly stated in Matthew 19:7-8, wherein, Jesus, after being questioned about divorce, points out that the only reason Moses and God allowed for it was because of the stubbornness and hardness in heart of Isreal. That it was not meant to be so morally, for what God has put together in the holy bond of marriage is not to be torn apart by man Unless a good reason is given such as sexual immorality in the marriage (I.e. if the man or woman abuses each other and forcing them to have intercourse, if one cheats on the other etc etc.). It is also shown in Numbers 27:1-11, wherein it is deliberately shown in action, with Isreal essentially demanding a king and though God states that it is not right and that they have disgraced him in this way, he still allows it due to Isreal's stubbornness, so that they can at least follow the Law and God under a human king. The Law was made up of three parts;The 10 commandments and general moral instructions (moral Law), the ritual law (sacrifices and such for the washing of sin) and the 'government' law. The only perfect part of the Law is the moral Law.

@@MusicalRaichu Genesis has no moral instructions from what I remember, what you described were the deuteronomical books(books of Moses), not the Law. I was speaking about the contents of the Law, not the books it is in. Also Jesus clearly stated that the Law is not abolished. Paul also made it clear that "just because we are not under Law but under grace does that mean we are free to sin? Of course not!". The moral part of the Law remains because what is moral and just remains as moral and just.

@@stmp4160 There is no "moral part" of the Torah. It's all or nothing (James 2.10). There are plenty of rules in there that we now see as immoral, some so illegal they'll land you in jail. Mosaic law is outdated. Jesus said he did not dissolve the law (Mat 5.17). It still exists and stands as foundational scripture. However, the old covenant with its stipulations has been annulled (Eph 2.15). It is no longer in force. We no longer obey God by following moral rules (Rom 7.6). Rules have limitations (Mat 5.21ff). Doing good and not harm has priority over rules (Mat 12.1-12). Instead we obey God by developing a kind, caring character (Gal 5).
