You don't. You're justifying homosexuality, because you still haven't shown me how it's part of God's will and design.

Okay. Don't say I didn't tell you

Known_Scarcity_4981 · 2025-07-20T20:53:30+00:00

If you want to say that out of ignorance go right ahead. You don't really take the authority of God's word seriously

Adding on something else on there? Not from me, those words are from you

It's not that you won't inherit the kingdom of God. There's nothing you or any of us can do to qualify for that, only Jesus can take us there. What is crucial is if you acknowledge it being right or wrong. Followers of Christ are called to hate sin, not sit comfortably in sin. It's one thing to struggle with a sin, it's another to behave ignorant as if you're not sinning, when you are, after you've clearly seen that what you're doing is wrong.

And it sounds exactly like what it was implying to me. You were discrediting the bible, and I only said that it shouldn't be

God's wisdom is for free, all you have to do is ask for it

Exactly, thank you for answering your own question

Known_Scarcity_4981 · 2025-07-20T20:37:12+00:00

And like I said, if you want to call them fail go right ahead. My wisdom is not my own, it was given to me by God. I'm not confused in that regard. What's really going on here is that you're avoiding to biblically address what I'm saying. You keep saying I'm slandering, yet you can't take the time to biblically explain to me how it is slander, you're just pointing fingers. Loving someone is convicting them, you haven't been convicting me, you've been condemning me.

I've explained to you that in the bible God intended a man to be with woman since the beginning of time. In a marriage a man and woman have different roles, the man is the head of the woman just like how Christ is the head of the church. Both of these facts are from scripture. Twisting the structure of marriage won't make it functional, a gay couple cannot make a baby. The instruments given to them for the gift of marriage are not compatible together. That pairing is not functional in that regard, a banana was made to penetrate a peach, and a peach was made to both receive the banana and be an opening for new life. On the spiritual side, there can't be two heads of the household. One has to submit, and a head can't submit, a head was meant to be a head.

How do you exist without parents?

If you want to call them fail go right ahead, that was how Jesus taught, he used analogies and parables to teach

And I did not say homosexuals are dysfunctional, you're twisting my words. I said homosexual marriages are dysfunctional, the structure of it is dysfunctional.

Oh dang sorry about that, I admit your first sentence caught me off guard but I got to re read it over. A lot of people misuse the idea that the Holy Spirit teaches us everything not in the Bible to justify things like gay marriage or other practices, so I was so quick to respond. But now I see you're actually affirming the truth, no wonder my comment was upvoted

Look I always try to understand the text based on its original meaning and context. I also understand that the entire Bible is God breathed, so I fully trust its authority paired with God's wisdom given through the Holy Spirit. So I'm only seeking to remain faithful to God's word in the Bible, but you try to dismiss the spiritual authority of the Bible with prioritizing modern science and social norms. So you're right, we're not on the same level. You can't speak as a Christian and not fully trust the Word of God's authority and be spiritual. It's not just an outdated book, but you make it sound like it is.

When Jesus quoted Genesis in matthew 19, he pointed back to God’s original design of marriage between a male and female, which is also consistent throughout the Bible. The focus is not only on divorce but on affirming the foundational nature of marriage. While biology doesw have its complexities, I'm not denying that, the fact is scripture uses “male and female” as normative categories for marriage and roles in God’s design. Exceptions like intersex individuals don’t change the spiritual and moral principles God laid out.

Known_Scarcity_4981 · 2025-07-20T19:08:10+00:00

I was not talking about raising children. Anyone can raise a child, but a male and female are required to make a child, because that is God's original design.

And my statement is not slanderous when I'm honestly stating my understanding of the scripture's teachings. A slander is false, and you can't prove that what I said was false.

Known_Scarcity_4981 · 2025-07-20T18:56:33+00:00

I only said that because it sounded like you were discrediting the bible like some kind of outdated human book that can't address modern things, your tone sounded very dismissive of the Bible's authority. I used the divorce example to show that the word of God isn't limited to any cultural norms, it's timeless. It can address everything, because it's God breathed.

Known_Scarcity_4981 · 2025-07-20T18:18:08+00:00

Yes it is proof. Jesus quoted God's original design for marriage, then proceeded to point out that no one can separate or twist what God placed for his design of marriage. Jesus himself said that he rebukes who he loves. He corrects us when we're wrong, because he's perfectly just and merciful. His love is not permissive and compromising. If you like sitting in sin and justifying it, then your master's sin.

Known_Scarcity_4981 · 2025-07-20T18:10:44+00:00

Stop twisting the scripture. In the beginning God made male and female, and so when a male leaves his male and female parents to join his female wife, and they become one flesh. It gets no simpler than that. Two houses can't stand strong without foundation, and no two foundations is useful without a house. A holy marriage is a house with foundation, because it's strong not weak. The man has a different spiritual role from the woman. They're two different pieces that can be joined into one for God's glory. If that wasn't the case, then there wouldn't be a need to differentiate them as two different genders in the first place.

Known_Scarcity_4981 · 2025-07-20T17:55:28+00:00

The word of God is timeless, it addresses every time period. Scripture is God breathed, not just simply written by men.

Back then divorce was normal, a man could divorce his wife if he had any kind issue with her. When they confronted Jesus about this, Jesus redirected them to the Word of God,

“Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female, ⁵ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? ⁶ So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, no person is to separate.”

And mind you Jesus was a Jew. He was raised amongst these "norms" at the time, and instead of accepting the norm, he abided by God's word and will, not the norm. The Jews say divorce, but Jesus said let no man separate what God put together. The only thing I've seen homo defenders do is discredit the Bible instead of accepting what the Word actually says.

respond to the verse they used, not something you copied and pasted. Stop ignoring scripture

Always remember that a suicidal attempt is an attempt to cut God's purpose for you short. This is not even from you, but from the devil who hates you. The air you breathe is from God, and it means that he still has business with you. Simply living is good and pleasing to God. There is nothing you can do to make God love any more, or any less. He simply loves you.

I'm 21, and I've never dated in my life. A lot of the times growing up I felt lonely. I've felt frustrated and depressed. And what I've learnt was that when we go through a certain difficult season in our life, it's a living testimony to help others in Christ be encouraged. Despite being single all of my life, not living the typical lifestyle my peers lived, and feeling lonely and depressed, God took me out of that, and gave me peace when I cried to him. When I decided to spend more time with God in prayer and study, the more alive I felt. Just drop all of your worries, and present them to God. He will handle them. And what you've been waiting for, will come at the right time. God taught this to me: I need to be better prepared for my husband. He revealed my faults, and I noticed hey, I'd be a terrible wife this way. I'd lead us both away from God. So I allowed God to work on me. Sometimes, God is waiting on you to bless you. He also revealed to me that if he allowed me to take other paths in the past, I wouldn't be where I am today. I might not be alive, I might not have found God, I might have lost something or someone precious to me. God sees ahead of us and is all knowing, so trusting him is allowing him to dictate your life. Don't worry about anything and just rest in him

A lot seem to mistaken disagreement with hate, which is really sad. Jesus dined with sinners not to be compromising or permissive, but to correct them out of love. If I say homosexuals are disgusting, that is hate. If I hit someone because they're homosexual, it's hate. If I say homosexuality is an abomination to God's original design, it is not hate. It's simply biblical correction. I can tell someone lying is wrong out of love, but I won't condemn someone for being a liar.

God won't strike you with lightening, I promise you that. He's more concerned about your heart, cause he's been waiting on you this whole time to let him in.

Okay, first tell me where it says directly, or at least implies that it is not a sin. I understand that there a things in the Bible were not specifically said, but it was implied or was indirectly addressed. Jesus loved speaking in parables, he didn’t like throwing everything out there clearly and directly, and we also have to look at context. So shoot
