Rimi...you misunderstood the point of my post I think, my friend.
I am sick of these stupid polls about what do we think of BeanieBoy....they are inane nonsense, because most people know what everyone else thinks of him by now, and are just disgusting in keeping it all going.
Okay. Homosexuality is condemned by God and is an abomination and those who practice homosexual behaviour will ,as far as I can tell from the Bible, end up in hell as opposed to all the 'Christlike' Christians.
For Pete's sake...where is the joy in all of this castigating of someone who has been on this board for quite a while now and does not seem to be in the mood to leave or accept God in the way that Christians do. He will be judged by God alone in the end...but not before everyone who has it in their minds to make the most of this situation by making it into a great game of being the least Christlike as possible at times.
Personally, I find this type of thread disgusting...wipe the dust from your sandals and move on...but then again, there is far more enjoyment in doing this to another person who is not as you want them to be, or God wants them to be, isn't there? Difference is, that God would still love BeanieBoy, wanting him to repent and turn to Him, but not hound him like this in a forum situation where all are welcome, but you better beware of the hounds who will not give up...instead of just closing it to the type of people that they do not want here.
Re the point made by
Crow :...and other Christians are our teachers in correctly interpreting the scriptures and judging rightly, not you.
I would not say that Beanie Boy is correct everytime in interpreting scripture, or judging rightly, but wasn't it missed by those who were in the past, the teachers of scripture, that Jesus would come as He did, as a man...albeit for their own purpose?... and Christians differ so much in interpretation of some biblical matters [ though homosexuality as an abomination is correct].
BeanieBoy was a professed follower when younger, though some doubt it, so may well know scripture well enough to do what he does. I don't personally have Divine insight to whether he is truthful, and I cannot see into his heart, but there is One who both can and will when the time is right. I am willing to let God do that then, rather than me do it here on TOL.
I've had my spew, so there it is. Go for it. I cannot see that anyone is going to get anything good out of this type of stuff...Christlike good, anyways.
