Why does 1 Corinthians 6:9 say that homosexuals will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven?

[ATraveller]

And that will be its downfall…

The Mainline Protestants are following your advice of disobeying God and they’re on the path to extinction. Evangelicals aren’t and they are stable. If the Catholic Church wants to die off, then follow the Mainliners’ lead.

I think he’s referencing the deceased daredevil Evel Knievel, but I can’t find any links between him and NE.

And for 2000 years it still remains a mystery to the Church.

not really, there is a great deal that the church knows and teaches about Revelation. Have you read any Catholic books on Revelation?

 

[vsedriver]

And if the Church failed to recognise the connections that is not my problem.

why would the church bother with ‘connections’ that don’t mean anything?

Sorry, just to be clear, are you saying repentant chaste people with SSA fo to hell?

He seems to think that that is what the Church teaches, which couldn’t be further form the truth. Sadly, that is the popular narrative shoved down the throats of people ignorant of the Church’s actual teaching. They actually think it’s true because it’s all they’ve heard; sadly, even when confronted with what the Church actually teaches, they don’t tend to listen because it doesn’t suit their narrative.

 

[2towers]

That is saying that there is a sin that is unforgivable which is heresy, at least in the Catholic Church, which is all that matters, at least to me.

I take that to mean that for 2000 years the Book of Revelation has remained a mystery to YOU.

Of course that would be true because you were AWL (as in AWOL without the OUT) the last 2000 years. You might want to make up for that absence by studying the Church Fathers and the commentators instead of taking a fresh stab at it based upon the mistaken assumption that it HAS remained a mystery until you came along to reveal the true meaning to the world.

What happens to repentant chaste paedophiles (people with CA - Child Attraction)?

If the Church has solved Revelation then surely you only need one book with the explanation?

They were never in limbo to begin with, babies go straight to heaven like it or not.

This doesn’t make sense. If all babies go straight to heaven then the most loving and kind thing a person could do is abort or kill a newborn.

 

[JasonL69]

Jason, that is SO trolling. Are you sure you don’t have a bridge somewhere with your name on it?

For the record, I found the book interesting because before Newton became known for mathematics he was the Royal Geometer. This meant he was responsible for setting the standards of weights and measures in the kingdom.

Newton became closely involved with a young Swiss mathematician called Nicholas Fatio de Duillier. He suggested they share a room together. The relationship broke down and Newton had a nervous breakdown.

He was never caught like Da Vinci and Turing, two other gay genii in our history. Were it not for Turing you wouldn’t be seeing this now.

Turing was prosecuted for homosexual acts, prescribed drugs to cure him and then committed suicide.

Where did those laws come from, originally?

In the UK the laws outlawing homosexual activity were reversed in 1967. In the secular world it is considered progress. Where sits the Catholic?

 

[JasonL69]

why would the church bother with ‘connections’ that don’t mean anything?

Oh, but in Revelation this connection is key and connects to the opening phrase ‘The Revelation of Jesus Christ’.

What does ‘Revelation’ mean?

1. a surprising and previously unknown fact that has been disclosed to others.
2. the (divine or supernatural) disclosure to humans of something relating to human existence

I said that if you couldn’t accept my opening mathematical connection there was no point in continuing. So I won’t.

LGBT and SSA are different according to Church teaching, or at least Courage which is Church sponsored.

Here you see a video from the Catholic Phoenix Diocese that equates an LGBT parade with a snake.

you mean like the church only needs one book to explain St. Paul’s letters?

No, there are many well written books by Catholic scholars and even Catholic clergy that explains Revelation.

Revelation is one book and it was written by John.

 

[ProdglArchitect]

Wow… talk about missing the point entirely…

There have been dozens upon dozens of books written by Catholic authors delving into Revelations. Your assertion that a book as complicated, historically and symbolically rich, and as important as Revelation could be explain in a single volume is… well… the word I’d use is asinine.

Spend some time reading good Catholic literature, it’ll help you out with these issues.

One of the revelations in Revelation is that John actually wrote the Pauline epistles.

The seven letters to the seven churches are reminiscent of Paul’s letters, no?
Ephesus (Revelation 2:1-7) - the church known for having laboured hard and not fainted, and separating themselves from the wicked; admonished for having forsaken its first love (2:4)
Smyrna (Revelation 2:8-11) - the church admired for its tribulation and poverty; forecast to suffer persecution (2:10)
Pergamum (Revelation 2:12-17) - the church located at ‘Satan’s seat’; needed to repent of allowing false teachers (2:16)
Thyatira (Revelation 2:18-29) - the church known for its charity, whose “latter works are greater than the former”; held the teachings of a false prophetess (2:20)
Sardis (Revelation 3:1-6) - the church that has a good name; cautioned to fortify itself and return to God through repentance (3:2-3)
Philadelphia (Revelation 3:7-13) - the church steadfast in faith, that had kept God’s word and endured patiently (3:10)
Laodicea, near Denizli (see Laodicean Church) (Revelation 3:14-22) - the church that was lukewarm and insipid (to God) (3:16)

If you speak Latin you will see in the first letters of the names of the churches form the word EPISTOLA which means LETTER.
The remaining two first letters are SP{ for SAUL/PAUL.

Quite the coincidence, huh?

The first letters are EPSTL SP, leaving from EPISTOLA ----- A IO which is ‘BY ME’.

John admits he wrote the Pauline epistles. It’s an ancient code form. In this case Roman world, Roman code.

no kidding. I never said it wasn’t.

 

[JasonL69]

Revelation is a book of logic and not metaphysics. It is a key that unlocks hence the ‘I am the door that once open cannot be shut’ phrase, the gates as well as the keys of Abaddon.

I could go on but you will dismiss everything I say because ‘that’s not what it means’.

Thing is, following this course I’ve solved the whole thing. But again you won’t believe me.

I might as well tell you that the conclusion is the identity of the Jewish and Muslim Mashiach/Mahdi (Messiah): where and when he will be born with his name. And so the ‘Revelation of Jesus Christ’ becomes apparent, if you get my drift.
