that's the other thing - too often you go for the easy cheap shot instead on contributing anything of substance
Easy - just keep being yourself, :loser:

Crow said:Robin, people basically damn themselves, and it's not by their behavior. It's because they do not accept Christ as savior.
God has given us the knowledge that engaging in homosexual sex is evil. This is why I am wondering that Dave can discern that promiscuous sex is evil, but cannot discern whether homosexual sex is evil or not.
Crow said:No, Dave, it makes perfect sense. God does not want us to be hypocritical in our judgements. If we condemn someone who is doing the same things we do, we condemn ourselves.
Also, one who is themselves caught up in a particular form of wickedness cannot clearly recognize the same act in others as evil. A child molester often not see what he is doing as wrong. He often believes that he is doing something loving, and that the child is benefiting from his attentions.
In the same way, someone who is sexually promiscuous does not see that they are harming anyone else, so how can they make a judgement? They have already judged their own behavior to be tolerable, so they will not see others doing the same thing as transgressing.
Now how do you reconcile this with the manner in which God tells us that we should judge?Dave Miller said:Someone who has experienced the damage of promiscuity is in the best

LH is in a great position for describing how homosexuality affects a family,
and I appreciate his witness in this regard.

To imply that, somehow and in some way, the RCs approve of homosexual behavior as a matter of church policy is simply insane.
By the way, Beanieboy sure would like some social approval for homosexual behavior since he happens to be homosexual. Funny how that works.

Does that make heterosexual sex evil?
Why is it that so many heteroesexual men brag about how many women they've been with? Isn't that "evil"?
Does that make heterosexuality evil?
Most towns have (and always have had) stripper bars. Men go watch women strip.
Does that make heterosexuality evil?
You're seeking approval, all the time. That's why you're so polite and seek to 'justify' your sin, by making appeals aimed at Christians who don't understand The Word of God as well as they ought to. No church needs to approve you te enter Heaven, but God does. He does not approve of sin. He gave us The Way (Jesus) out of sin, and if you don't avail yourself of His Help, that is not God's fault. It is no one's but your own.beanieboy said:I don't need approval.
And approval from the RC church?
I wasn't aware that the RC church was God incarnate.

Crow said:Homosexual sex is condemned by God in and of itself. I'm sure you have read that. It doesn't need to be promiscuous to be wicked.
Heterosexual sex is condemned if it occurs outside of marriage. Heterosexual promiscuity is not OK. It is evil too.
The animal kingdom is off-limits too. That also is in and of itself wrong, whether one is faithful to Lassie or cheats with Fifi and Spot. Promiscuity isn't what makes it an issue.

beanieboy said:And that is the point.
If you are going to say: Homosexuality is wrong because of promiscuity, I can point out the same is true of heterosexuality.
So, you have to argue that homosexuality, itself, even in a committed relationship, is wrong. Using promiscuity as a point is something that heterosexuals do as well. (Girls Gone Wild, anyone?)
onchiki, a simple yes or no answer is all I want here. When a Christian has first removed the plank from his own eye and therefore is no longer a hypocrite, is he then allowed to judge his brother according to Matthew 7:1-5? Yes, or no?onchiki said:lighthouse :baby sorry I missed you! I was busy de MOTING my eye thanks for the advice. Now that I can see clearly I still say......YE SHALL NOT JUDGE LEST YE BE JUDGED THYSELF!!! :ha:

Also, aren't you judging us? And doesn't that make you a hypocrite since you don't think people should judge?
Crow said:Homosexuality is wrong. In and of itself. And? You have no argument with me there.
Dave might argue with you--he seems to think that if it isn't promiscuous it's acceptable.
