 We both were rejected on Usenet and so as the scriptures command have moved on. Matthew 10:14 (New International Version) 14If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town. John  |

			[QUOTE=jeremyp]I have a question, 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	I'm not a scholar, but I do get into arguments about homosexuality and christianity on other boards. It seems like Pervy has put together a pretty strong case for his point of view. In fact, in the context of the debate, he has Bible John dead in the water, it's almost embarrassing. I admit I should have mentioned that I needed more time in this debate. But I will also add that sicne you are not saved, you cannot see homosexuality as a saved person would.  |

 Shot my quiver empty heh? Some bias. 2 Cor 2:6ff Wisdom From the Spirit 6We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 7No, we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. 8None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him"[b]— 10but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. 11For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. 13This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.[c] 14The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment: 16"For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?"[d] But we have the mind of Christ.

			Message to Bible John: Why do you assume that the Bible speaks for God regarding homosexuality? Are you not aware that the book of Revelation admits that tampering with the texts is possible? You don't by any chance 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	have any practical arguments against homosexuality, do you?  |
