I'm not sure who these Christians are that "condone" homosexuality.
I don't condone it. Neither would I try to say (as if I had the authority to do so
) that homosexuals are "going to Hell".... any more than I would say that an alcoholic is "going to Hell". Or, a liar.... or a prideful, self-righteous person...
When a person is saved, do they immediately stop sinning? Or is it more of a gradual, lifetime effort to become more like Christ on a day by day basis?
When Jesus told the woman at the well to "go, and sin no more"... do you think she never sinned again? That she never "slipped up"?
I believe the Word is pretty clear that homosexuality is a sin.... but, it's just a sin.... it's not THE sin.

It seemed a rather moot point... what was gained in its presentation? "Jesus didn't mention homosexuality." Yeah, and? ... Still waiting. VVhats the significance of that? Oh okay, just arguing for argument's sake? Okay, awesome.
Jesus, the Father, and the Holy Spirit are of one accord. They don't contradict one another, if God deems something evil, neither Son nor Holy Spirit will come in disagreement. That one or the other didn't say anything on it is irrelevant, and that one did is significant.

I agree that the Trinity is always in agreement (Magenta does as well). This was never the issue at hand, until you made it so, which is why I called it silly.
I disagreed with your simplification of Christ being God; 'Men, inspired by Holy Spirit, wrote against homosexuality, therefore Jesus condemns homosexuality'

The point is that Magenta's point is moot. It means nothing, and adds no value to the conversation. This is like me entering this conversation and saying, "Chocolate milk is sweet." Thanks for the input, back on topic. lol
(Interestingly enough, "moot" actually means "debatable")
Still on with that? I think you should put me on ignore, you can't hold a common conversation without playing victim and trying to instigate trouble.

I don't know what you're talking about. Magenta has been on the war path this last week and is exceptionally defensive to the degree of defamation, insinuating and flat out saying I am attacking her. I am not. I have even requested she private message me what assumptions I have made in order for me to correct them. She didn't. She is now being an instigator, any comment and she goes off. She needs to put me on ignore if she can't handle regular, common, conversation or take a break from CC. It isn't healthy and causes strife.
I have nothing against you, but if you wish to add me to ignore you are free to do so.

Sorry man, I don't have time for this drama.
I read through the thread from the beginning.
Her comments made sense to me -- especially within the context of everything else that was said.
People wanna pick fights and then pick sides.
I choose the side of the one who shows the most fruits of the spirit.
