Holy Jebus,

If that’s what’s god paradise is all about, then he just lost one of his flock for ever.

I ain’t going to paradise to see others denied because they are gay, sorry G”D.

Okay,

So you believe, just as I do, but you do in a different context.

If you are truly as you claim to be:

“God and Christians love you, and we’re reaching out to you right now.”

then you would accept what Tesla coil is, even if he did and still does something that “is wrong” you would forgive him till the end and accept him into paradise(love your worst enemy or God loves the sinner and forgives them).

But that’s not my G”D, the God I believe in is someone carrying for compassion and that people treat each other in a fair and grown up way, that’s my believe.

All I’m going to reply to this is a simple quote, from Jesus himself.

Not everyone who says to Me, `Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.

You can’t do “buffet-style” Christianity. Pick what you want, ignore the rest. This thread has been filled with examples of where the Bible clearly says that Homosexuality is wrong. Ignore them at your own peril.

No. You’re playing “buffet-style” in this case – he’s not. There is a world of difference, and I hope you recognize that. Since you claim to be a Christian, I’m going to point thisout, and be very blunt with you – what you are saying is antithetical to what the Bible teaches.

But He said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it.”

If you are truly as you claim to be:

“God and Christians love you, and we’re reaching out to you right now.”

then you would accept what Tesla coil is, even if he did and still does something that “is wrong” you would forgive him till the end and accept him into paradise(love your worst enemy or God loves the sinner and forgives them).

You’re mixing apples and oranges. He, as a person, is not wholly defined by a single type of action. it may very well affect much of what he does, but he, himself, is not “homosexual”. I, for example, am not “Electronics Technician” – I DO the work, but that does NOT make me WHO I am. It’s just what I DO. Don’t label, don’t turn people into labels. Tesla, I’m sure, is a nice guy, plays mechwarrior well, is a good friend, and is also wellspoken. Those are only parts of who he his. He is not “homosexual”. Homosexuality is an action, and a lifestyle, not the person himself. Ever.

I’m sure we’d get along just fine face to face, as I got along just fine with my ex mother in law. It has been awkward at times, but that’s life. I don’t identify action with person. Have you ever lied? Do I then call you “liar”, not by your name? Identify you with lying for the rest of the time I know you? No, I understand that this happens to be a failing you had – and very may continue to have – but I’m not going to judge you for it, and have a conniption about the fact that you lied. Homosexuality is a sin. In the Bible. I live by that book, and follow it as best as my human frailties allow me. Nowhere in that book does it say that I am bound to condemn, to persecute, or to turn my back on someone because he is homosexual. I AM, however, bound to point out sin where it stands, and attempt to get people to turn from it.

But that’s not my G”D, the God I believe in is someone carrying for compassion and that people treat each other in a fair and grown up way, that’s my believe.

That’s also looking completely past every other aspect of God – such as His Holiness, His Justice, and His Wrath. There is Grace, Mercy, and Love, sure – but there is also the need fo the former, just as much as the latter. God is not all daisies and rosebuds, and children skipping along in a line chattering nursery rhymes. There is also God’s awesome, sovereign, and holy requirement that dictates His Judgement of sin. Do not make the mistake of seeing only the Mercy, when Justice is required for Him to be merciful at all. With no Justice, how can there be mercy, if there is nothing to be merciful of? THAT is the pitfall the majority of “name it and claim it” televangelists fall into. God is not all Mercy. He is also Justice – but most of all, He is absolutely, entirely, Holy – and holiness cannot allow sin in it’s presence. Jesus died to cleanse us of sin – but, remember what John said?

REPENT, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!


Ok, here I fix the error of my last post. Still, though, I think I was a bit overdramatic. I think it was all right, though. Any suggestions on how I can improve the next exchange?
