This is going to be a difficult post to make, because as personal as I've gotten in many posts, this will be the most personal of them all. It's mostly in response to the recent post on homosexuality, which for whatever reason seems to bring out the worst in us. We are a gay-obsessed society, and the truth is that isn't just limited to Christians

Would you clarify for me what you mean with "terminal heart issue"? I'm not sure I understand that.

In a better grounded theological discussion, he would probably say "unrepentant state of mortal sin."

[lordhellebore]

That would be a phrase I understand, thank you.

Thank you for clarifying. Of course, your arument only works if one regards homosexuality as something sinful in the first place - and yes, I realise that this is precisely what you're addressing here. I do see the reason for your concern.

And actually, I was asking that question because I did not understand the way you phrased things - not because I wanted to know whether or not you regarded me "saved". God is the only one whose opinion truly matters, although I admit to getting hurt and frustrated at times with other Christians.

And I know you get hurt and frustrated by me specifically.

But I didn't say that! Actually, I tried to say the opposite in my last comment. Maybe I'm too tired to communicate tonight :/

[lordhellebore]

Oh, all right. Thank you, then, I do appreciate it.

First, there is a difference between someone seeking to justify his behavior by distorting scripture in an attempt to prove something is not a sin[...]So... what about those of us who genuinely do not believe that Paul was referring to consenting and committed relationships between same-sex adults in his descriptions about homosexuality... who aren't ourselves struggling with (or enjoying) same-sex attraction whatsoever

And I don't see any scripture supporting the Rapture. I mean, people have showed me the verses, but to me they definitely don't say that, and yet to other people they do. I would certainly not accuse someone of believing in the Rapture only for self-serving reasons

[sybbis]

But I'm not disagreeing with scripture, in point of fact. I think scripture agrees with me just fine. *You* don't agree that scripture and I agree
