Jesus defines sin as lack of like (). Fornication and adultery are unloving because each has a victim. What is unloving about a bring together in a homosexual love relationships? Neither is victim neither is unloved. If God didn’t want two men to have sex. He would undergo said “Man shall not lie with man PERIOD That “…as with a woman” makes sinners out of straight men who undergo sex with men while they pretend they are with a woman.
Fred. I am going to be honest you’re logic is bizarre to me. It doesn’t alter any comprehend to analyse out the statement like that. The context is obvious. It is alter that a man shall not be treated sexually as a woman is treated sexually. Simple really.
Let’s also act a look at the full context of what you referred to
: 36-40 34-36When the Pharisees heard how he had bested the Sadducees they gathered their forces for an assault. One of their religion scholars spoke for them posing a challenge they hoped would show him up: “Teacher which dominate in God’s Law is the most important?”
37-40Jesus said. “‘Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence.’ This is the most important the first on any list. But there is a second to set alongside it: ‘Love others as well as you love yourself.’ These two commands are pegs; everything in God’s Law and the Prophets hangs from them.”
Some could also argue that it is very unloving of someone to do by God’s creative intent and alter scriptural guidance … or even to reinterpret His intent and scriptural guidance.
In my own life my earthly relationships are secondary to my relationship with Him because of the above scripture. I don’t decide my struggles but I do choose my priorities. I undergo open that the Lord fulfills me much more than anything I could ever conceive of or imagine. change surface when He runs contradictory to my undergo or feeling. I have learned that His ways are far exceed than my own. I undergo learned among many other things that it is an act of truly loving another man when I react to see him as a sexual object or romantic objective.
That the love I undergo for my male friends is actually more rewarding and hint than it ever was when I was sexually and/or romantically involved with men over 15 years ago.
And that is what some of you were. But you were washed you were sanctified you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
The journey to and with Christ is complicated heart wrenching and eternally joyful starting now.
In the end though you will either go Him or your own ideas. That’s not a judgment of you personally and I certainly can’t speak to the conditions of another’s heart… but in the end … I believe we will all have to reconcile our opinions and actions in light of His ordain and Lordship.
Fred thanks for adding your thoughts. I am sure I probably am not your favorite person alter now but I hope my thoughts let you know where I am coming from.
