btw,
the title of this thread isn't
how should god treat homosexuals
its
how should the christian church treat homosexuals....

easy answer really, the way christians would like to be treated by any fellow human being...with respect

as a follower of christ or one who is a part of the church, what credit is it to you if you only respect those that respect you?

I have answered once, it does not bother me one way or the other but as this thread is a bible debate it bothers God because it is a sin...:)

Here it is again:



I even said this afterwords:



Now, instead of addressing any of this, or offering any clarifications as I requested, you're just giving a lot of evasive non-answers like these:









If I didn't already think you were hiding something, I'd think you were hiding something.

And another evasive answer.


How can a request for clarification be "rubbish"?

Unless of course I had it right in the first place and there's nothing to clarify.

so me stating that the word of God says homosexuality is a sin makes me judgemental...how??...:)

was Jesus or Paul or any of the disciples judgemental when they told people to turn from sin...:)

Because you are stating an opinion about what you think the word of God says about homosexuality, and you are presuming to tell others who you think God will save, or won't. That is a judgement, and one that you have neither the right nor the authority to make.

Neither Jesus nor Paul said it was a sin to be a homosexual.

the word of God says it is a sin, Jesus cannot contradict the word of God the two are in harmony with each other...:)

About what? As far as the particulars you and I were talking about, you haven't even explained your stance. :shrug:

You just suddenly decided to stop talking about it.

read back to when you first started to twist my words, you will find my original stance there and I remain with that stance...:)

I just did, and it looks like in most cases you make a one-line response to posts that bring up multiple points.

In a case like that, how is anyone supposed to know which point you're responding to? That basically leaves it up to the reader to have to guess which point you're responding to. I already acknowledged that, under the circumstances, I may have guessed wrong so I asked for clarification. All that got me was a another dismissive, hyper-defensive, non-answer.

If you'd rather not talk about the points I touched on, just say so.

No need to start accusing me of "twisting you words" just because you've decided you'd rather not talk about the things I brought up.
