What is your "moral" compass? whatever feels good to you? Then try to get others to approve your behavior?

Why are you deflecting my question? Can you please answer it so we can have a fruitful discussion? :(

I'll answer yours though. My moral compass is the Holy Spirit. I accept the bible to be the word of God and I have the Spirit of Christ within me that convicts truth in me and informs me of right from wrong. However, I'm just one out of 300+ million Americans. I would be naive to expect all 300+ million to have the same beliefs and moral compass as me. I am a Christian and a champion of liberty.

If God allows His children to sin (via free will) and we all agree God clearly does not promote sin, why do you claim the government allowing gay marriages in all states is promoting gay marriage?

Either God promotes sin because He allows us free win to sin (if we abuse it) and the Supreme Court is promoting gay marriage, or both allow for it, but neither are promoting it.

comparing God to the supreme court as if they are equals or on the same level

If I understand, you're saying that because the Supreme Court ruled to recognize gay marriage, it is simultaneously going to make more people "turn gay" for future generations?

The fact gay people will get civilly married isn't the sin, it's their homosexuality that is the sin. Had the Supreme Court NOT ruled to recognize gay marriage in all the states, guess what... gay people would still be practicing homosexuality. You have to be naive to believe otherwise.

Twisting God's creation, marriage, is sinning. Gay parents have been proven to make their adopted/surrogate children more likely gay. A culture more accepting of gays and gay marriage means more gays. Didnt think you needed me to hold your hand.

You dont hold the Bible as your moral compass or the word of God if you think gay marriage is acceptable

Um, when did I say "God and the Supreme Court are the same"? I'm debunking the PREMISE that "allowing" does not EQUATE to "promoting." What better example could I give to debunk such a faulty premise than by using our Almighty Father in Heaven?! lol

Now Sub this is a biblical principal that you might not understand...but Christ does not call us to go out and find the sin in sinners...but He does call us to uphold and promote what is good and to be good citizens, and never promote or encourage evil in any way. Now a good Christian is a good citizen that desires the best for our society and the children of our society. As citizens and as Christians we have ever right and responsibility to defend the moral standards of our society.

Im not muddying them together. JackH is an OEC obsessed believer in a false God that condones gay marriage. I was making the point that his lack of actual faith was a great argument against OEC.

I said I have this theory that lesbianism is not sinful behavior.

Someone presented this theory to me and I am evaluating it.

I wanted to run this by some of you, but I can see that would likely be an exercise in futility.

You YECs have your head too far in the sand to even get past the fact that the world is older than 6,000 years, there was no global flood around 4400 years ago, and dinosaurs did not coexist with humans.

Why argue this stuff on a Christian forum then? There are others like you, who twist the Word to suit their desires. Go discuss such nonsense with them.

For us here, Romans 1:24-32 speak very clearly, and without doubt, that these unnatural relations are truly sinful.
Jude 1:7 continues in making this clear.

There is no excuse for such sin. Only the possibility of repentance unto forgiveness, but not excuse.

I didn't say I believed it.

Actually, I was having a difficult time refuting it so I asked you for help, but you didn't help me.

Not very Christian of you, brother.

I can prove that I believe that homosexuality is sinful behavior.

Bet me.

Those are exactly the verses that the individual who tried to convince me that lesbianism isn't sinful behavior cited, with her interpretation.

Do you believe that fallen angels came to earth and seduced human women as some say Genesis 6 says?

Romans 1 refutes it very clearly.
There is no "hard time" unless you don't have access to the Scriptures...
but seeing as you are posting on the internet...
you have access to Biblegateway, Biblehub, and and extensive list of other free online Bible sites, each with multiple versions and lexicons and concordances and alternate rendering lists.

The rendering of Gen 6 has NOTHING to do with the application of Jude 1, unless a person is trying to discredit the entire book as fabricated.

There is a simplicity to this debate.
You either are for,
or against
the Word.
Because the Greek is clear. The Hebrew is clear. And the English is clear.
Oh unbeliever! look and live!
This matter is not really about gay rights, it is about having Faith in the revealed Word of God.

Will you only take the parts of the Word that benefit you, and make you feel good, and throw the rest away?!?
REPENTANCE is turning your mind TO God, and AWAY from yourself.
Instead, you are trying to turn God into what you believe He should be.

This is from the commentary in my NKJV Nelson Study Bible on Jude, verse 6:

Some think that these angels are the "the sons of God" of Gen. 6:2 who took on human form and married women before the Flood.

And how does that affect verse 7, or Romans 1:24-32?

I'm waiting to hear an explanation as to how any homosexuality can be considered righteous, before the weight of Romans 1:24-32
And how Jude 1:6 affects Jude 1:7-8 if taken literally.
