The 'gay vs the Bible' debate......

Don't stop there read the rest of the chapter

 

So, if I leave out a GD or covet I don't remember becasue I had too much to drink, I'm going south?

I don't think that you have to give God a collated list of your sins. Lumping them all into one basket will do fine.

 

You need to read the rest of that chapter.

 

True but you still have to have an understanding of what is sin and what isn't

 

That's an interesting discussion. I can't remember exactly now, but I think that you and I stopped last time discussing a similar topic, namely when sex was immoral, or bad... I had posted another article about the evolution of the term "abomination" which placed it in a similar historical context as this article, but also expounded on the ideas that promiscuity and devotion (or worship) of the pleasures of the flesh took one further from God, and therefore was (insert negative term here). To me, that argument, while making sense, also de-emphasized whether you're connecting the leg bone to the thigh bone (okay, crappy euphanism), which opens the door for the voracity of monogomous homosexuality, if such a thing exists.

 

The King James Version 1611 is probably the version most used today. It was translated from the Textus Receptus.

The history of the Textus Receptus is complicated. Try a google search when you have the time.

 

Gal 3:12-14 God no longer deals with us based on how well we keep a long list of rules but by faith in Jesus, we were redeemed from the curse of the law so that the blessing of Abraham may come on the gentiles through their faith in Jesus.

 

And you can still live your life a brazen sinner, telling everyone who will listen that you don't care - as long as you are honest with God. It's not like He's asking for references.

 

I don't agree at all with the pastor's inferrence that sex during menstruation is against Mosaic law because it doesn't produce offspring. I believe it has everything to do with the blood involved. The OT takes blood very seriously (it's one of the more important sacrifices). That's little more than an educated guess on my part, though. I have yet to find a clear-cut reason why the Law deemed sex during menstruation "unclean".

 

There has to be a desire for repentance. When you accept Christ you have to see yourself as a sinner. If you do not think that your sin is really a sin then you can not ask forgiveness for it. It would be the same as a person who habitually steals. They could not accept Christ unless they realized that stealing was a sin and had a desire to stop it.

As far as outward apperances towards others I suppose you are right to some degree but anyone who accepts Christ will be convicted for sins they commit and will not be able to live a carefree life of sin any more.
