So if God doesn’t correct everyone else’s religious beliefs, that according to you are wrong, why would he bother correcting the belief that homosexuality is wrong? Why not correct other people’s religious beliefs too?
They will not because they are fighting against themselves. They are trying to deny something about their own nature.
I am going to take a stab in the dark and say that you can provide absolutely no evidence for this. Am I correct?
Actually, I said homosexuality, not loving, monogamous, homosexual relationship (let’s call it LMHR).
Perhaps I missed it, but you havent responded to my post above. And I actually played along (one of the few) with your hypothetical.
I still wouldn’t consider Paul a Jew. He said that the law causes death and the new covenant brings life. That doesn’t sound too Jewish. He also didn’t follow Jewish dietary laws. Other than through his birth, how was he Jewish while writing his letters?
Or so you think it does. Just because the Bible as we know it today has things that might not be as they seem doesn’t mean that there is no Christian God. Does this mean that if creation didn’t happen as it did in Genesis that God cannot exist?
Although this is extremely tangental to the argument, the Jewish community considers the offspring of a Jewish person to be Jewish.
If you noticed in the first post, I was fine with the church teaching on casual sex. Thus, when I say homosexuality, I mean long term monogamous relationships much like heterosexual marriages. Your issues with homosexuality are present in heterosexuals that sleep around as well. So I am limiting the discussion to marriage type relationships.
And what if the Church is right? Have you ever considered *that? *
What if you are in fact disobeying God by not agreeing with homosexuality? What then? Your whole argument is based on the fact that homosexuality is wrong according to God…I am saying what if its not.
Absolutely not. That is like saying we should start inserting gasoline through the tailpipe of a pickup to fuel the engine. The point stands.
Nope! For starters, I know my own sense of what is right and wrong was influenced by my parents mostly! Also, other authority figures that have helped raise me over the years like teachers, aunts, uncles and the like. I’ve seen it in lots of other people as well. If you ever see someone do a good deed, ask them why. They might give a quick response, “it’s the right thing to do.” I would challenge you to really press them. Ask them why…what makes them think so, how do they know. It will end up going to either religion, or how they were raised. Try it out!
What if gravity does not exist? What if air is imaginary? What if you are just a figment of my imagination made up in a drug induced coma that stems from a methamphetamine overdose I had three years ago?
No I don’t just think that, the Christian God HAS revealed it through Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition and the Magisterium, all three sources from which our knowledge of God comes are in agreement.
