Isaiah 51:15-16 and this is not all.Maybe you should start an appropriate thread.

You brought it into this thread.
You said that heaven and earth was a Hebrew merism designating Israel.So I asked exactly where people 2000 years ago called Israel heaven and earth.
You then gave me Is 51:15-16, in which God in essence said that He created the heavens and laid the foundation of the earth and He also called the people of Israel His people.
You really have to twist that to make it say that He called Israel heaven and earth,
Merely so you can justify your belief that heaven and earth has passed away, so that Mark 5 and Luke 15 have been fulfilled thus the old laws are no longer valid.Perhaps you may be thinking too deeply thinker. There seems to be no reality in that logic, or logic in that reality.
But then again, I never claimed to be much of a thinker.Tim

Hi KejonnAhh, because he say he is not serious, I am supposed to believe that his tone is not serious!
I don't think so. Really I do not care if he mentions me!
The picture of the french kiss of two men by itself is a propagation of their agenda, and that is not tongue in cheek, no pun intended!

August 19, 2009 at 12:40 am#141393kejonnParticipantYou just don't get it WJ. The article was “in your face” (as was the picture) because they wanted you to give you what you already accuse them of. It hit upon many of the stereotypes of the fundmantalist Christian view of homosexuals. That you took it seriously says more about you than the writer.

Hi KejonnNo, you don't get it.
The guy projects lies about Christians then, if he thinks that because Christians for instance seeking to protect the sanctity of Marriage is because we hate them.
So like I said, his picture shows his agenda even if he is exagerating the rest!
So think what you will about me too then simply because I find it sick to desire or practice the lifestyle of gays!
I have already claimed I do not hate them, but I hate what they do and resent they would destroy many traditional values that Christians believe in by changing our laws for instance those protecting the sanctity of marriage!

What is the sanctity of marriage? Is it not just the religiosity of marriage you are trying to protect? How does someone else's right to make marriage vows have any effect on yours?Stuart

You're correct in saying that there was no old covenant with the gentiles. But God's new covenant with Israel involved her expanding her tent and including gentiles. So gentiles live under new covenant principles which do not include putting sinners to death.thinker

The bold lettering also does not infer that A = B. Why won't you give me the benefit of the doubt? If a homosexual used similar language and said that he did not mean that christians = persecutors I bet you would take his word for it.Stu is saying that christians = persecutors. Where are you when he does this?

August 20, 2009 at 8:54 am#141532StuParticipantHomosexuals are not necessarily predators. Christians are necessarily persecutors…UNLESS they reject Paul's writing in Romans about homosexuals being worthy of death. Do you reject that?
