The disgrace comes from passing out judgments on others: "Crucify him, Crucify him!"

And yet YOU sin. And when called out on your sins you turn your head and refuse to listen.

What's up with that?

This thread is about homosexuality, not my personal sins.

I don't judge anyone here. I've said many times on these threads that if living a gay life makes you happy then you should have ever right to pursue it with the free will God gave us. But I'm still going to believe that homosexuality is sin.

Your personal sins have a LOT to do with homosexuality.

Exactly! You want to cast stones while you ignore Jesus's instructions.

Want to be a good Christian? Drop the rock from your hand and live a life that reflects Christ.

Then, change the subject and move on with your life.
And don't forget to be at peace with all men?

The thing that makes it even funnier is that the person he's trying to pull that with this time is a moderator.

I think he knew Mensaguy is a mod, and just tried to see how hard he could push. How thoroughly disingenuous.

I respect apologists that are straight forward a lot more, even if I disagree with them. There are a few, very few, like that on here. And good for them. I can think of a couple of christians, one mormon and one muslim of the top of my head that I would include in that group. They are genuine, make good arguments and never resort to the personal. They also don't avoid hard questions, but deal with them head on.

As a good friend of mine said, "That's a mensch".

Good grief, jeffbase40, have you looked in the mirror lately? The guy who answers a question with a question if he responds at all?

Tee hee.. you're too funny.

And yet you resort to the personal many times even making disgusting false comments about me having gay sex. I even seem to recall you admitting that you enjoy mocking Christians. I have no respect for such tactics.
