Please answer the questions.

Why did Jesus not find favor in the Pharisee?
He wasn't being dishonest. He wasn't committing several sins.
He obeyed the laws.
He even thanked God he wasn't like other sinners.
Why did he not find favor in God?
Because he was judging a repentant man, and was full of pride, which are both sins. He was being very dishonest.

What do you mean he's misunderstood? Does he thing homosexuality is a sin or not? If he does not think it's a sin, then he is making a grave mistake in scriptural interpretation.

Then there must be some standard to go by.


And God told us to judge rightly.

Christ gave us the standard, know a tree by the fruit it bears.

And a good tree bears the fruits of peace, love, kindness, gentleness, and
self control.

Wjy is it that the "good trees" at this site are teh wiccans, the buddhists,
the athiests, and only a couple of us Christians?

I believe he considers homosexuality a sin.

What's your excuse?

Hmmmm...well, being sarcastic is more fun. On the other hand I don't pretend to be conversing with an almighty deity who gives me a free pass to act like an inhumane degrading jerk. You do. Hence, the difference.

How's the job searching going?

Dave is misunderstood.
No, he's not. I have seen him post exactly what he believes on the subject of homosexuality. Apparently, he's even performed some "marriages."

Why was Jesus persecuted by the very teachers of the law?
Why were they always trying to entrap their own Savior?
Why were Pharisees, those called rabbi, so rejecting of God made flesh?

same idea :(

"He" thinks that the real enemy is promiscuity, and that's the context
Paul had in mind.

"He" also thinks that H is a behavioral anomally in the modern context but
one that harms no one, unlike a presdisposition for children or animals.

"He" also thinks that in the OT, eating shrimp was called an abomination,
so the use of that word is greatly over rated.

"He" also thinks that we are called to love one another, and share God's love
with others, and trust that the Holy Spirit will convict and uplift whom the
Holy Spirit chooses, its not our job to condemn others.

You say your father was a homosexual. Is he going to hell? Should he have been sent directly to hell when he was a practicing homosexual?

Would you expect or at least hope that a homosexual that you bring to Christ would repent of the behavior?

No, he is not going to hell. He has been set free by the Lord, our God. And he should have been prosecuted, if he were found out. But that wouldn't have happened in this country, in the eighties. Thank God he found God, and turned from his wicked ways!

I just witness to my own experience. The Holy Spirit does the leading.

I would hope that first, this person accepts who she or he is, for their strengths and
weakness, because repentence and healing is possible only from a position
of acceptance and truth.

I would hope that second, they realize they have infinite worth in the eyes of
God, no matter what their sexual orientation is.

I would hope that third, they would turn away from any destructive or hurtful
behaviors in which they are used to participating, be it promiscuity, alcohol,
overeating, abuse, whatever.

And finally, I would hope that they pray and follow the lead of the Holy Spirit,
whichever direction that may take them. If that leads them to remain faithful to
a lifetime partner, or leads them to change and to give up the people they've
been associated with, either way.

Ultimately, I hope for them an eternity of joy in fellowship with God through
Christ.

Is that supposed to be an excuse for a false accusation?
It wasn't an accusation. That was why I used that word, because I did not want to falsely accuse him. And he confronted it, and it is taken care of. Get over yourself.
