1 | Homosexual are picked on in the church? | Lev 20:13 | journey_me | 177341 | ||
No, that's not what I'm missing. I feel that's what everyone else is missing. Are you saying that change is instant once you've been saved. That the next day you will not sin or have the same thoughts you had before. What I am saying is that It's a spiritual change, but it takes a lot more for the flesh to catch up. You have to ask God to work on you and help you every step of the way. We don't know a person's heart, only God does, and that is why we should not pass judgment. I believe if someone is truly saved that they will come through the inflictions, but I think God has a timeline for each person, yet we often want to rush or tell people where they should be without knowing or understanding what they came through. |

2 | Homosexual are picked on in the church? | Lev 20:13 | Hank | 177354 | ||
journey_me: Where in Scripture does it say that God has "a time line for each person?" I surely do not see any scriptural support for your soteriological/sanctification argument that seems to be saying that the born-again believer needs time for the flesh to "catch up." ...... How then should we think about a situation involving a robber who said he was saved on Sunday and held up a bank on Monday? Is anything wrong with this picture? Did the robber simply need more time for his flesh to catch up with the regeneration of his spirit? Is this what Scripture teaches? If you choose to reply to this post, please back up your opinions with Scripture. Otherwise, we may as well rename this web site to "Non-Biblical Opinion Forum." ..... One final question. Why, in view of how forcefully Scripture condemns homosexuality, are you arguing from the other side of the fence? If you are trying to convince the rest of us that there is any such reality as an unpenitent PRACTICING homosexual Christian, you're barking up the wrong tree and may as well change the subject or move on. We on Study Bible Forum do not dispense solace to anyone who champions opinions that are not firmly grounded in God's word. --Hank | ||||||
