You should try my God. He is loving and wants everyone to go to heaven. Not willing that any should perish, but wants all to come to repentance.
Oh look! Another ray of sunshine is upon us. If you're going to praise God as you do, you better start imitating His love for others, which you clearly don't.

Again, my Lady, I apologize for not expressing myself clearly.

I should have said: I understand we all get upset; sometimes I even feel like choking someone through the computer screen . . .

That would have prevented any hiccup on our part. But like a true family, you and I are stronger now than we were an hour ago. That's grace, that's love, that's the power of Christ!

No issues brother. Just a little war weary here. Too much talking smack around here. Like I said,you've always been a gentleman.

Yes -- it's your fault.
I would get mad, too, if someone completely disregarded what I had said after I tried to be as specific as possible with clarification -- and then they continued by almost acting purposefully stubborn -- and then questioned my faith -- essentially turning a very small matter into a very large, personal, and riduculous strawman argument.

It's almost as if more of you enjoy "being right" and "correcting wrong" (as you see it) -- than you do "encouraging" and taking care with your words towards others.

ok dude,

She does it all the time, Why do you think people called her out on it? SOme people have a reputation, and they suffer for it..

Your new here, You should not assume things..

And no. she did not have the right to get mad, All she had to do was explain why she said it to begin with (I know I myself asked her that, and she did not answer until long after I asked.


as for what happened.

Post 16..


With all due respect Magenta - Jesus did mention homosexuality. The Holy Spirit inspired the Scriptures. The Holy Spirit is God. Jesus is also God. Thus, Scripture is from Jesus as well as from the Father.

And so, Jesus condemned homosexuality in the Bible.

What he said was perfectly ok. And what he said was right,, The argument should have stopped right there.

All she had to do was say, yes your right, But I did not mean that I meant on earth.

THEN we could have gotten to why she said it in the first place.

But no. With her, it never is that easy.


Jesus Christ, the eternal second person of the Godhead, also known as the Son of God, Who manifested as a human being and walked this world for over thirty years, Whose deeds and acts were documented in the gospel accounts, is not recorded as having said one word about homosexuality.
Where did she admit that he was right? but he misunderstood her

Where did she say, You misunderstood me? This is what I meant?

Where did she say, I am sorry, i did not mean that?

She did what she always does, Got mad. Did not prove him wrong, Did not do a thing to settle the argument down.

And because of it, We have now spent two days arguing over nonsense.

As I said, SHE HAS A HABIT OF DOING THESE THINGS..

Please show me where you have been specific about your pov. And not the "semantics" posts either. Why do you not believe God can speak as well from heaven, as on earth? And why do you believe it has to be audible and not silent?
He wants to be right,leave him to it.

While I agree on some of your points there are others I disagree with. No one is taking one persons comments and picking them apart for entertainment. When we say the God of the OT says homosexuality is an abomination,and Jesus of the NT is in complete agreement with God the Father that should be the end of the subject. We all know that God/Jesus are one and are in complete agreement. But we have a poster that is insisting that Jesus didn't speak the words out of His own mouth so He didn't agree with the Father. This is false doctrine and false teaching. Of course God/Jesus are in perfect agreement.Yet this poster refuses to admit this. And this poster knows better. And so round and round we go. It certainly isn't for entertainments sake,I assure you. There is no reason for this. But when someone is propagating false doctrine Im not about to let that pass. The God of the OT is Jesus of the NT in that they are separate but One.They are in complete agreement at all times. People act like the God of the OT was a hateful,vengeful,murderer but Jesus in the NT was a pacifist,all love, totally ok with sin and particularly homosexuality. Im just not going to let that nonsense pass.I don't care who posts it.
You're on a witch hunt, but there is no witch. For, you misunderstood the 'poster's' post and then tried to get them to agree to your own words.

No, you want to be right at all costs. I didn't misunderstand Magenta at all. Like I said,there is no peaceful in you "peaceful warrior" just warrior as I have seen. As EG said,Magenta does this every time the subject of homosexuality comes up. She's known for it. But if you want to back that horse I leave you to it. And that is a saying,not calling her a horse folks.

I agree... unless you are homosexual, none of the beliefs of any of the posters has anything to do with your salvation. Let's agree to disagree.

Those that think that homosexuals are bound for hell can live with their beliefs. Those of us that think homosexuals are sinners just like the rest of us, and need the cleansing power of Jesus' blood, and the grace of God, can live with those beliefs.

What matters is how we love each other, and how we love the lost.

You can't have church unity if you don't understand doctrine and what the Word teaches. If you dont understand the importance of this you will be carried away by every false doctrine that comes along. Its important and it matters. The church didn't have unity just for the sake of saying they were unified. They knew the Word,they knew doctrine.If they were in error they were corrected.
It is not an error to say that Jesus did not speak about homosexuality while on Earth.
It's an error to take this statement to mean that Jesus condones homosexuality.

Ahh!! Ok! There is the crux of the matter for me. If you say Jesus didn't speak the words out of His mouth but He definitely disagreed with homosexuality thats one thing. My point all along has been that even though Jesus didn't speak the words out of His mouth He is in agreement with God on the subject. Is that clearing anything up?

Thank you.

I think she was not willing to admit where he was right (or where they agreed) -- because he interrupted a conversation with a challenge. Essentially -- saying she's wrong.

I wonder if Budman had simply said:

Magenta, You're right--Jesus did not speak specifically about homosexuality while on earth. In fact, there is no record of him talking about homosexuality at all. However, homosexuality is discussed in the bible. And, since we know that the bible is God's Word... And, since we know that Jesus is God... we can actually say that Jesus speaks against homosexuality.

This both shows that Magenta's POV is understood, as well as presents a more important issue.

You're right -- I do want to be right at all costs. But only if I'm right.
