1 | i do believe..but this troubles me | Rom 1:27 | BradK | 116505 | ||
ptgard05, In further response, you’ve received a couple very good bits of scriptural advice. Here’s what I would say in clarification of my previous post. Consider that Jesus said in John 17:17, “Thy Word is Truth”. He is also referred to as “the Way, the Truth, and the Life..” (John 14:6). The validity of these statements are proven by His resurrection! Without the resurrection, nothing Jesus said, or did would have carried any real weight. The resurrection is the crux upon which the whole of Christianity and our faith rest ( 1 Cor. 15:17). Contrast this to politically correct Culture and even medical science. Neither are truth! God’s Word is TRUTH. Do we believe God or do we believe man? This is the question you have to answer. Now, lets look at the argument of Paul in Romans 1 where he is giving the results of Gentile guilt. In Rom 1:24-25 he says, “Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged THE TRUTH OF GOD for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather then the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.” Verse 26 and 27 very specifically define what vile passions are. There is no doubt or wiggle room here. This CLEARLY defines sexually deviant, i.e. Homosexual behavior. “Men… burned in their lust for one another” can describe nothing else- if we’re honest. Concluding, it says in verse 28, “And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do the things which are not fitting.” The problem is this: Man’s sinful nature. Paul concludes, ALL are guilty before God in Romans 3- “There is none righteous, no not one;…”, and “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” God did not create man homosexual for the purpose of condemning him. Man in his sinfulness chooses to disobey God (Rom. 7:20). We’re not sinners because we sin, we sin because we are sinners! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Ok bradK....are you supposing that there is no truth to be found anywhere outside of the Bible? Of course there are truths outside of the Bible, the Bible is the Ultimate Truth, but there are others outside. Such as mathmatical theorms and postulates....they are true. Also, in medical science there are some true things. So, don't say that the Bible is the ONLY truth, b/c its not, it is the ULTIMATE truth, but not the only. | ||||||

ptgard05, Well, I have to wonder if you read or considered anything I said:-) I'm reasonably intelligent and nobody is claiming that there is no "truth" out side of scripture- but that's not the question- is it? I'm not really interested in playing Cat and Mouse or 20 questions, ptgard, nor am I into futile exercises in mental gymnastics. When you get around to dealing with the question at hand let me know. Going off on rabbit trails is neither edifying nor productive. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

This was not a "rabbit trail" as you try to describe it. It was merely a point.... you were insinuating that the Bible was the only truth. I was just pointing out that it was not the only truth, just the basis for all truths. | ||||||
