Gene,

Pervert has more negative connotations than it did in the 1700’s as that particular passage implies anyone that sins has a perverted mind, i.e. pretty much everyone.

Gay pride is a celebration of sin and unbelievers have been doing that since the fall. Some of our holidays have such traditions.

Actually not human being except Jesus would be on my Christmas card list if I was to judge them by their human failings. I could even send myself a card.

Actually I understood that the small board of astronomers were trying to find a definition of planet that would not include so many planetary bodies they decided were not planets…[Read more]

I seemed to have missed this earlier.

Hello, Kerwin,

I have no trouble with the notion that God can experience temptation. I could put no faith in a God who didn’t experience temptation. Such a God would never understand us who do feel temptations.

After the Council of Chalcedon, in 451, classical christology centered on the d…

Hoghead,

If you think it is relevant then please share what you have learned about sexual orientation.

All I know is Scripture defines homosexuality as the action or the fantasy. I am not even sure if it would actually call an individual who had homosexual fantasy a homosexual as the sin would be of the mind and the flesh. I think that at…[Read more]

I am a computer science major and I believe t8 may be in the field. I am still working on my degree but I have computer science related courses in Junior Colleges so long that a lot of what I have learned is obsolete. It seems that for the most part I avoid liberal arts courses and such that are more heavy in political correctness and…[Read more]

Hoghead1,

Who knows what political correct garbage you were taught in your university as I have been taught some as well. They just want to make us elites.:) I expect you to know more about but why did you fail to know that they used an unscientific method to determine that homosexuality was not a mental disease. They could have done by…[Read more]

Hoghead,

Psychologists still study it though not as a mental illness. It is under sexual orientation and according to them has nothing to do with actual sexual activity as for example a gay man could have sex with a woman and self identify as gay if only to himself. I am not even sure they have to engage in sex with a partner of the same sex. It…[Read more]

Hoghead1,

I could choose to mess with you but instead I will point out that your answer tells me things about you that you probably do not want to reveal as you want to look perfect.

By the way you also falsely accuse your neighbor by sticking to that stance. It is really a sin you need to overcome. To do so you need to confess that and any…[Read more]

Hoghead,

I am a slave to my imagination though thankful not to the degree of one of my uncles as I can function at an acceptable level. I imagine many and I hope do not exist and some are outright libel.

A human may believe is Thor but that does not mean the god of thunder exists.

A male may believe he a brother but that doe not mean he…[Read more]

Hoghead,

Modern psychology is hogwash as science is not a democratic process. Any time I see suppose practitioners voting on something or having a board decide it I winch. In short certain psychologists chose not to label homosexuality a mental disease because they voted on it and played political games with it. No self respecting scientist…[Read more]

Hoghead and T8,

Hello, t8,

Well, then the question becomes: Why find them so objectionable? Also, are you saying you have deep-seated homosexual impulses you are continually struggling to keep repressed? If so , better see a therapist. Bad for your psychical economy to have to expend so much energy in your defense system. Also, if you…

AndrewAd,

What kind of goofy statement is that? people overcome it without even being consciously aware of it? is that your convoluted excuse for not consciously overcoming it?

You are letting your lack of knowledge show though I should have said think as opposed to the more vague believe.

My wording is to some point based on confidence that…[Read more]

Technically the statement faith in God is evidence of God is a logical fallacy and thus a broken claim.

Obviously the correct understanding is not broken so the words of Scripture that are being applied need to be looked at deeper.

Hoghead1,

It is also used to change the topic here when one is uncomfortable.

Hoghead1,

They are not if you look at it from the other person’s point of view. I have seen very little real flaming on this board and most of one can take as flaming is a way to disagree with the words of that one’s argument. Sometimes the spirit of the words state “I do not believe what you say”. Nick for example often voices is disbelieve…[Read more]

hoghead1,

Defamation of the character of the author of an argument or their source(s) is a fallacy.

Not every thing is defamation.

For example calling the witch of Endor a witch does defame her character. Calling a Pharisee a viper does not defame his character though he may believe it does and respond with calling the speaker demon possessed.…[Read more]

hoghead1,

That may be the rule of modern theology but I doubt it as reducing an absurdity is acceptable as is attacking the soundness or validity of an argument. Otherwise debate becomes vain as the rules reduce its purpose to nothing.

Attack on the person is a fallacy unless it is related in some way to the argument being way. Creditably is…[Read more]

t8,

I believe everyone is homosexual to some point because it is a desire of the flesh but they find it so objectionable that they overcome without be consciously aware. There is possibly a genetic factor in the strength of the desire and the inability to suppress it in certain individuals but that can clearly be controlled by some. There is…[Read more]

Hoghead1,

I have to disagree as Lexicons are considered an authority of Koine Greek and Hebrew languages. Biblehub.com like most cites use one compiled from multiple Lexicons that are considered authoritative in the field. Like any work of research it does have it flaws due to various reason though the largest one I find is its poor format as…[Read more]
