Make the truth go away ?,

How about these bible verses one for you calling out sin in others

Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her

For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.

Would you like to tell me what particular 'sins' you think I commit that you think I am 'demanding' people to approve / condone / promote / embrace'? .

And why would I want you to appease me? I would love it if you actually followed the teachings of Christ. His strongest message was about love and developing empathy for others. A worthy message.

I would also love it if people like you actually read the Bible in it's original historical and cultural context and stopped abusing it to support prejudices against gay and lesbian people or anyone else you don't approve of.

But I don't actually 'demand' that you study the Biblical texts honestly or follow the teachings of Christ. That's your choice.

You are perfectly entitled to disagree with me and try to support your views. I will of course continue to point out the issues of cherry picking biblical verses out of context, the less than scholarly dishonest interpretations, and the hypocrisy of those particular Christians who use their religious beliefs to harm others.

He doesn't need to. It's already been determined that he's going to heaven as a reward for his faith, and you will burn in hell for eternity for your disbelief.

No doubt you'd have the same feeling about this:There is such a thing as righteous anger
Psalm 5:5 The arrogant cannot stand in your presence. You hate all who do wrong;

Proverbs 8:13 To fear the Lord is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech.


Sexual immorality of all types is evil behavior ... and since Jesus is God, he judged homosexuality detestable \ perversion.

And do note: Proverbs 8:13 does not speak to the person themselves, but what they do.

And the double-minded \ unstable will twist it as normal and use scripture to discredit the very same source that it came from. No doubt it's all the 100% Bible believers that Psalm 5:5 and Proverbs 8:13 that God has in mind.
He continually judged the spirit of the Pharisee while in the company of those you disapprove of.

It is the stone throwers that are offended, not those who follow the example of Jesus.
I'm not offended. I actually find it rather sad.

God didn't say that there is a difference between the two "who do such" vs "those who approve".
How does that address my post at all?

Your argument is that sexual immorality is not sinful, and whoever disagrees receives judgment from you. Yes, you demand agreement, and when you don't get it, you go after the poster and accuse them for being unloving, and you claim they are not following teachings of Jesus. You do it with practically every post.

You think you show love towards people by condoning their sins, and concealing the truth from them, but you have no idea you are only keeping them away from the light, and by doing so you are only doing the bidding of the devil.
