Bible Note: Hi, Fox! Again, I find that you are seeking to accommodate Scripture to your personal wants and desire... from your logic it could be said that domestic violence is a prudent Christian behavior since Scripture has nothing explicit against it... it could also be claimed that craking a few vials of crack-cocaine and inviting friend, families and acquaintances to partake of the banquet also falls within good Christian conduct... What don't you understand from these passages?: 24Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen. 26Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. (Romans 1:24-26) EVEN THEIR WOMEN EXCHANGED NATURAL RELATIONS FOR UNNATURAL ONES. IN THE SAME WAY THE MEN ALSO ABANDONED NATURAL RELATIONS WITH WOMEN AND WERE INFLAMED WITH LUST FOR ONE ANOTHER. MEN COMMITTED INDECENT ACTS WITH OTHER MEN, AND RECEIVED IN THEMSELVES THE DUE PENALTY FOR THEIR PERVERSION. Anyone and everyone has the right to choose to ignore God, to choose to reject God, to choose to disobey God! No one has the right to disobey God, reject God or ignore God and demand to be accepted as he/she is! God will not be moved to bring such a peson into His Realm... those who claim that they are Christian and reject the Word of God or choose to ignore it or choose to transgress it, they are calling upon themselves the WRATH of God not His LOVE. So please do not deceive yourself, God will not accept you (or any of us) on your own terms: choose life in order that you may live! God Bless! Angel |
