1 | Knowing gay minister unequally yoked? | Bible general Archive 4 | quvmoh | 203998 | ||
The Bible comes right out and describes homosexuality as being wrong in Genesis, Leviticus, and in Romans. I think there's a couple of other places where it's described as wrong also. So the issue about being a Christian and being Gay should be self evident. Being a minister and being gay only makes it worse. As for unequally yoked, I'm not sure of the scripture reference off the top of my head, but I'm sure that its in reference to a believer being married to a non believer. I'll respond more later when I have time to sit down and confirm. Quvmoh |

2 | Knowing gay minister unequally yoked? | Bible general Archive 4 | Tamara Brewington | 204018 | ||
Dear Quvmoh, Yeah I agree whole heartedly that the Bible condemns homosexuality out right and the qualifications for a minister/ overseer are the husband of one wife... The issue was most definetely self evident, although I wonder just how evident it is to the professor, he says he is just now getting ready to tell this minister that he is in rebellion against God. Gotta wonder why that would take three years to say... As to the verse about being unequally yoked; II Corininthians 6:14-16 Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? Or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever? Or what agreement has the temple of God with idols? The context is any relationship, not just marriage. Paul of course tells us in another passage this; I Corinthians 5:9--11 I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with immoral people; I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolators, for then you would have to go out of the world. But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler - not even to eat with such a one. Somehow this professor thinks he will win this man by hanging out with him and being his friend. And after three years of heated face to face and email discussion the professor has not taken it to the church (although they may not be in the same church), or taken a second brother with him to confront this man on his sin; Mathew 8:15,16 If your borther sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother. But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every fact may be confirmed. God bless and thanks for your reply, Tamara | ||||||
