Really? And who is your neighbor?

Assignment: read the last few verses of Matthew 5 and tell me who God cares about.

I would gladly help lift any homosexual out of his/her pit and set them on higher ground; it's a holy and righteous ground paved with Jesus' blood. If they reject that help, they'll die in their sins and go to hell just like any other sinner. You can't help someone who doesn't think he/she needs help.

So, you are beyond help?

Just who ARE these "practicing homosexuals" you speak of? What does a person have to do to be a "practicing homosexual" as opposed to simply being a "person" who happens to be attracted to the same sex? Can you tell the difference by looking at them?

I don't follow a syncretistic belief-system of love and hate.

Funny how you become an evangelical and your loved ones become enemies of everything you now stand for. Drob, would never consider this to be true, he thinks i make this stuff up. The amount of Calvinists and evangelicals suffering under the belief that their loved ones are hell bound is at epidemic level

How have I condemned anyone by saying the words they speak are of their own interpretation and not those of Jesus?

Quit projecting your own personality onto others. If you read Romans 2:1 then you would know why all the sins listed in Romans chapter one----are yours. Mine, too, mind you.

But just as you like to remind "others" about being a hypocrite, I do enjoy returning the favor to you!

Yeah, another fundamentalist poster who has sort of disappeared rejected the idea that Jesus was using hyperbole when He said
Quote:
"If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters--yes, even his own life--he cannot be My disciple."
Luke 14:26
I couldn't get that poster to respond to exactly how much he hated his family, but the point is the vast majority of fundamentalists just "read the words" in the Bible without ever contemplating them or how they might have been understood in the day in which they were written.
