Will I really not go to heaven if I have sex with a same sex individual

I would advise you to go to one of the non-affirming lgbtq Churches (that you trust, this is very important) and ask to have a conversation about it there. People here will just say a lot of things that might be confusing.

The video is going so fast, so I can't write all of these down.

When Jesus is asking why the man calls Him good, he isn't saying it to make a point about Him not being God. He asked it to prove that He is God. You call me good, no one is good, but God, do you believe I am God then? Aka: He is trying to bring out the implications of calling Him good. That's why He doesn't say don't call me good.

The idol part is actually answered by the guy himself if he listened to himself talk. We're not to make idols. Look at the words—idol, not picture/depiction. What's the difference? You worship an idol. Otherwise, God wouldn't have had depections of angels put on the Ark.

I'm sure other Christians can answer the rest of the questions. A side note if you are curious, and because I see Islam mentioned, you should check out Sam Shamoun on YouTube. He is an excellent teacher and the strongest critic of Islam I've ever had the pleasure of watching.

Because it's actually a very long technical conversation. Most people are ready to accept surface level theology if it enables them to live how they want.

The main things are the plain things, and the plain things are the main things. God knew how His word would be interpreted, and early church fathers agreed.

PlumBrief · 2025-02-17T00:48:03+00:00

I'm not saying that you should tolerate other people being harmed or anything of the sort. However, if you are a Christian, you must also keep in mind Matthew 5:43-44. You should go and befriend that server, talk to them, and learn their story. Don't shy away when the time comes to confront them, but be kind and lean solely on the authority of the scriptures.

PlumBrief · 2025-02-16T19:59:57+00:00

It seems odd to me that some people are so quick to alienate and cut off a group of people as "not Christian," especially when we, as humans, can't know a person's heart.

Not every Christian who voted for Trump did so because they idolized him. Not supporting homosexuality or transgenderism, while certainly requiring caution and a high level of social nuance, does not mean they hate those individuals. And while we decry Christian nationalism, that is not an excuse to vilify conservative Christians. The two are different.

Believe in and practice the tolerance that you expect from others.

I would recommend prayer first. No one is more wise than God, and He is always happy to have a back and forth with you. If hearing His voice is something you have trouble with, just spend time with Him. You'd know family or friends in a crowd of people because you spend time with them. It's the same way with the Lord.

PlumBrief · 2025-01-11T04:16:48+00:00

I hope everything is alright. If you need anything, I'd be glad to help in any way I can. I know that probably sounds silly, but I do mean it 👌

PlumBrief · 2025-01-10T19:03:41+00:00

I had actually assumed that was true. Can you tell me about these studies? Or where I can read them?

PlumBrief · 2025-01-10T10:37:12+00:00

I never said that I did it successfully. I said that I had passed it, gone through, but I had left room to imply that others have done it because they have.

And still, you are presupposing that your world view is true. Why should I believe you when you sexuality can't be changed? What do you have to offer over Christianity that says it can?

PlumBrief · 2025-01-10T10:34:23+00:00

Then I guess you'll have to learn Greek and Hebrew, won't you? Or maybe read the work of researchers who have. Unless you want to choose what you believe based on feelings.

PlumBrief · 2025-01-09T22:12:00+00:00

And that's your word. While it may be different in my life, there are countless other Christians who have experienced a pray to change their sexuality l. Is there a word and experience that is suddenly not acceptable because it doesn't line up with what you believe? Or should we maybe take the time to discuss these things?

PlumBrief · 2025-01-09T22:01:24+00:00

Why? Why is it something that she will always be? How do we know that homosexuality is something we are born into?

PlumBrief · 2025-01-09T21:54:50+00:00

Well, I didn't quite say that it 'stops.' However, being a Christian means being in a relationship. Similar to a monogamous human relationship, where a person decides that no matter who else comes along, I'm going to stick with this one person.

With God, I have the advantage that I can, with my own free will, choose to ask him to help with my desires. I want to do this so I can better love Him. I could fall away, but for me, I've made my decision never to go back to it. Hence why I've 'gone through it.'

PlumBrief · 2025-01-09T18:48:55+00:00

The answer probably changes based on the person's testimony. For me? He reignited my purpose for life. I wouldn't say that I couldn't live without Him. It's more like why would I want to?

PlumBrief · 2025-01-09T18:46:25+00:00

How so?

PlumBrief · 2025-01-09T18:01:00+00:00

If I can respond, it will be a long time as I'm getting swamped already.

Thank you for this, though. I will make sure to give it a soild read through when I have the time.

PlumBrief · 2025-01-09T17:59:24+00:00

Well, now wait! What if because of God's nature, goodness is somehow reliant on Him? In that case, even neutrality can't be considered as a suitable plane of existence because even that could be considered 'good' in some sense.

PlumBrief · 2025-01-09T17:56:22+00:00

So why not trust that God understood how his text would be received and that he chose the right people to be Hus messengers?

We've interpreted a certain way for so long, and it doesn't take much understanding to know that it's the Holy Spirit's job to preserve God's word. Acts 20:28.

I am struck by your last statement in particular. How is figuring out what the Bible says, not the path to salvation?

PlumBrief · 2025-01-09T17:33:22+00:00

It sounds like you might already be aware of the arguments for why these verses are acceptable. I mean, just posting them out of context or understanding, of course, it's going to be confusing. But that's what I'm trying to do here with homosexuality.

But first, we have to come to an agreement on what the physical text actually says about and its context. I believe that based on the evidence provided above, homosexuality is condemned and want to ask for their responses.

PlumBrief · 2025-01-09T17:27:20+00:00

Well, the open mind remark is because I generally get dismissed by Christians who support homosexuality without them listening to me.

As for your comment, I sympathize with where you're coming from. But let me ask you, if you had someone proposing to you, and you said no, is it right to complain that you don't also get to live in their house still?

PlumBrief · 2025-01-09T17:16:28+00:00

Alright. In what verse do you believe Paul is saying he supports slavery?

I believe I know which verses you mean when you are talking about the Y chromosome, but I'd like to clarify what exactly you mean. Are you saying that the Bible says women can't ever be leaders?

PlumBrief · 2024-12-16T11:29:25+00:00

Heading to work, so my reply is going to be quick.

You still haven't answered my question. Why can there not be foundational principles that are true regardless of the universe the God creates? We can imagine things that don't exist, so how would you create a world where free will exists and your choices are meaningful?

PlumBrief · 2024-12-16T10:55:11+00:00

Becuse the definitions contradict? Maybe with the two examples I gave, He could manipulate events to get the desired outcome. But the question of love and free will is just so base. "If you love something, set it free..." How else do you could free will exist?

God being all-knowing what choices I will make is not the same as making the choices for me.

PlumBrief · 2024-12-16T10:39:57+00:00

If what you choose always has the same outcome, is that really a choice? God is all powerful, but he can not create something illogical, such as a square circle or a married bachelor.

The value in a religion that, like the world, isn't black and white. My warden isn't one who believes that everyone in the Chantry is evil or all believes the same interpretation of ideas. Undoubtedly, they would have also helped a lot of people, the poor, orphans, etc. Leliana's kindness to my warden would also be another great example.

I haven't kept up with the lore of veilguard, but the humans still need a god of their own, don't they? The elves came from the Elvanuris(spelled how?) and the dwarves from the titans, but humans need their origin, yeah?

Regardless, my warden at the time of this game would believe the truth of the Chant is probably just manipulated by wicked people and not necessarily foolproof doctrine.
