I would love to see you and some of these other homophobes witness to Ellen DeGeneres.

So go on her show.

LOL.
I would weep at seeing the power in Mitspa's witnessing to her on TV.

Is the word "homosexual" in the King James Version?

Hint: No, it's not.

Oh goody, you can read Greek. Please point me to a word in the Septuagint that is the exact equivalent of homosexual/homosexuality.

Former president Jimmy Carter recently said that he believes that Jesus approves of gay marriage. He could be right and you homophobes could be wrong. Jimmy Carter would probably get banned if he posted that on this thread. Lol. I could see banning Obama for saying that. But Jimmy Carter? He's a devout Baptist.
Yes, there are "Hints" (Dogs)

and Carter does not read his Bible, well:

"Rev 22:15 Without are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one that loveth and maketh a lie..."

Rev 22:15 But outside the city will be dogs, witches, immoral people, murderers, idol worshipers, and everyone who loves to tell lies and do wrong.

If your a "sinner" you need to get saved and Gods grace will give you power over sin...If your a believer, you have Gods grace and power over sin...

Ro 6:18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
Thanks for choosing Paul´s evangelism... I chose to preach Jesus´ teachings instead, and He clearly said: "Do not sin".

Joh 5:14 Later, Jesus met the man in the temple and told him, "You are now well. But don't sin anymore or something worse might happen to you."

Joh 8:11 "No sir," the woman answered. Then Jesus told her, "I am not going to accuse you either. You may go now, but don't sin anymore."

Do you not accept Pauls epistles as Gods very Word?

I don't get it? you sin therefore we should now approve more sin? Stop approving sin and you might find you have more power over sin by Gods grace. God gives grace to the humble and resist the proud...those who promote and excuse sin, are in pride...like gay pride..they will never be delivered from sins power and many will suffer the greatest judgment of all... so its not a game to play, Its a God to fear and obey.
I never said anyone should approve more sin. What I said was it was no worse than my addiction to doritos. You're free to disagree with me, that's fine, but that doesn't make either of us right or wrong. It simply means we choose to believe slightly different in things is all.

aRE YOU SERIOUS? have you read the bible...and even for a believer ...this sin of sexual perversions is the only sin that a believer can commit against their body...not eating doritios ...and if your over eating...go to God and ask for the grace to overcome...but don't use it as an excuse to promote wickedness and the destruction of our society.

The international peer-reviewed scholarly journal on addictive behaviors and disorders since 1976 states:

"Addiction is bondage to the rule of a substance, activity, or state of mind, which then becomes the center of life, defending itself from the truth so that even bad consequences don't bring repentance, and leading to estrangement from God."

You could put homosexual before addiction in the above statement and it would be entirely accurate from a biblical perspective for the unrepentant homosexual with the caveat that, do to the realities of God's interaction and human will, some homosexuals choose to repent and are saved and pursue sanctification from sexual immorality with God (ending their estrangement from God).

But if you put eating Doritos in front of it, the statement fails.

Firstly, eating Doritos is not a sin much less a sin that gradients with the gravity that homosexuality does. Secondly, a taste for Doritos never estranges one from God or brings His holy judgment on those who eat Doritos much less a society that exchanges "the truth of God for a lie." Thirdly, a taste for Doritos does not approach the addictive power of homosexuality on those ensnared in the transgression. Etc...

You are wrong, your assertion is false.

I recommend this article by Michael Horton, professor of theology and apologetics at Westminster Seminary, who explains that Jesus and his apostles taught that God's intention in marriage is for a man to leave his parents and join himself to one woman (Matt. 5:27-32; 19:3-6).

Furthermore, the New Testament clearly teaches that homosexuality is immoral (Rom. 1:26-27; 1 Cor. 6:9-10; 1 Tim. 1:10) and that those who embrace a sexually immoral lifestyle will not inherit Christ's kingdom (Gal. 5:19-21; 6:7-9; Eph 5:5; 1 Thes. 4:2-8) with Paul's unusual compound arsenokoitēs specifically meaning "those who practice homosexuality."

The prohibition against homosexuality is not like OT prohibitions against eating shellfish or pork chops that distinguished Israel visibly from the nations as a theocratic nation which foreshadowed Christ which are now obsolete since the reality (Christ himself) has arrived proclaiming the gospel with it's power to restore repentant sinners to God.

Additions to homosexual behaviors is not akin to eating Doritos. You need to grow up and get some sense about you.

@Mizp@ No doubt you enjoy being "seated" in a place God and His Son only belong. Buy one game where you can play that Inquisitive role you love to play. ;)

Im seated with Christ and have the authority of Gods Word to reprove the evil works of darkness...

Eph 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
12 For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.
13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light

1Co 6:2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

If you "truelly" are seated with God, or the Lord Jesus, poke (or pray) so His kingdom come.

Your "authority" is limited to the rights your own constitution has limited your private rights and, remember you´re a subject of the US citizenship and own state.

Ask Paul a lawyer, if you wanted to sue me with those void legalisms.

Just for reading:

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights





I love this:

Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty.

And the Constitution does not limit his authority to reprove.

I don't see nothing there about a special right to be a sexual deviant...or to make others approve your sinful actions?

Do I have to assume your question as an inspired holy question?

:eek:
Why not just answer ...since you brought the issue up and seem to be claiming some standing in the truth of Christ?

Just prove it as true when any person -whoever they are- goes out on a public demonstration.

If that "authority" had a real VISIBLE power no State will be approving a SIN God dispproves, except by USA´s laws.

Make a pool of "empowered" ppl to change US laws... Then I will believe your´re entitled enough with such power.


By the way, did the LORD Jesus ever claimed such an authority before Pilate, as He was bragging like you?
