Jesus to the woman at the well "Go and sin no more."
In this passage we see that sinners (and their sins) are condemned, but sinners who have repented and quit their sins can receive Salvation.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
Finally, as Christians, we are held accountable for warning sinners of the consequence of their sin.
Ezekiel 3:18 When I say to a wicked person, 'You will surely die,' and you do not warn them or speak out to dissuade them from their evil ways in order to save their life, that wicked person will die for their sin, and I will hold you accountable for their blood.
Scripture actually teaches very clearly that there is a difference in sins. I say unto you that there is a sin not unto death and you shall pray for that man and his sin shall be forgiven him.
You use (abuse) the word of God and have no place even mentioning Him because your father is the father of lies and a murderer from the beginning.
God makes a distinction between a sinner and a wicked or evil man. God sees sodomy as wicked and calls it an abomination and in fact devotes the first chapter of Romans to those wicked people. If you are not a Sodomite you are guilty by association and advocation .
Is it possible for a Sodomite to repent? Certainly ., But then that man of woman would no longer be a Sodomite but would be a born again child of God and free from the sin that they repented for. \\
You are a thief and a liar who is trying to snare good men with your deceit.
You deny Christ , you deny his power to free us and forgive us. You want men to believe that they are helpless in their bondage but the Christ of God is the Power of God unto salvation from sin. Not salvation in sin but from. I want you to know this. If there is anything that God hates worse than a Sodomite it is a person that trys to lead his sheep astray with deceit and lies.
You are come here as an angel of light and you are a two fold child of Hell. Go back to your hole.
God bless the rest. Steve
Your false gospel will send people straight to Hell and that makes you a very dangerous person to anyone that will be deceived by you. It is why I am being so harsh in condemning your lies and deceit.
You are mixing up a wild concoction of sinning saints and repentance with out change and calling yourself a child of God but you are denying a change that is so powerful that it keeps you from sin and washes you if you do sin.
I say unto you little children that you sin not. but , if any man does sin we have a propitiation with God the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.
That does not allow you to be a despicable Sodomite or a thief , or a liar, or a murderer or an adulterer and still go to Heaven
That stated, the church has a debt to the Spirit in how we have historically treated gay people. We have scapegoated them for our own depravity as much and as long as everyone else. That is wrong. Christians should be better than that and we should atone by changing our behavior.
Great discussion thanks for your participation.
LOL! This entire thread is full of judgemental posts. I like how one guy basically says, "Go f**K yourself evil, hell-bound sinner!! P.S. God bless you." LMAO!!!
Sorry, but you all seem to misunderstand the difference between judging a sinner and calling a sin, a sin.
I can't sit here and tell someone they are going to hell. I can't see what's in their heart, only God can make that call. BUT I can say that something they are doing is considered a sin by God!! HUGE DIFFERENCE!!!
Just because you point out a sin in someone's life does not automatically equate to "judging" them!
"Uncle Fester??? LMAO"
It's Uncle Fester shedding light on our wicked ways.
Whitey is the same person as Uncle Fester.
Ezekiel 3:18 When I say to a wicked person, 'You will surely die,' and you do not warn them or speak out to dissuade them from their evil ways in order to save their life, that wicked person will die for their sin, and I will hold you accountable for their blood.
Yep. It's happened to me before and I'm sure it will happen again. I lean on the experience and knowledge of those who are wiser than I. When I am doing something sinful, without my knowledge in some cases, I welcome the words of others. I seem to remember reading that in the Bible that we are supposed to help each other. Matter of fact, most of Paul's writings revolve around him offering support and reproof of fellow Christians.
WTF? are you done?
On the same line Jesus says in John 7:24 "Judge not according to the appearance but judge righteous judgement."
Boy Howdy...confused is the non-clinical term, but it fits
Talk about wasted bandwidth...
So none of you covet, lie, murder, commit adultery, and a host of other sins? But it's the gays that are going to hell alone? I'm confused
That is sad., SAtan is the author of confusion. You have a hard taskmaster. He will use you, abuse you and then murder you so you can spend eternity in Hell. If I were you I would stop worrying so much about all the other lost souls that you have no answer for and repent and call upon God to forgive you and make Jesus your Lord. Then the confusion would go away and you could see clearly.
Butttttttttttt, you are not going to do that are you??
Since you seem Hell bent on preaching another Jesus and another gospel I will not say God bless you. That would be a sin and I would become a partaker of your mess.
God bless the rest of you. Steve
You all know me, I can handle polite, sane, logical religious discussions, but dadgum, I get so sick of these guys that completely ignore a logical response and continue to spew their uneducated, logically devoid crud!!

"Incorrect beliefs regarding Christianity" would have been better wording.
Fairly certain you knew what I meant, but just couldn't resist jumping on it.
