Subject: homosexuality |
Bible Note: Hello Doc, I don't see Jesus pointing out a particular sin to any of these people...Pilate maybe, but I think that is a stretch. - The lady at well, he mentions facts from her life, but not once tells (much less tries to prove) that it is sin - The paralytic, he doesn't mention one sin - The adulterous woman, he doesn't bring up the adultery the Pharisees (religious leaders again) bring it up. He says he doesn't condemn her and tells her to "sin no more" just like he did with the paralytic. - Not sure what sin he proved to the magistrate - Chorazon, Bethsaida, and Capernaum are not people so it would apply anyway. However, he still points out no individual sin. He just points out that they are sinners. Which is what I have suggested. - Herod, not realy sure how this verse applies - Pilate is the closest thing I see here. Anyway, this is getting us nowhere. The homosexual man has plenty of sin in his life, you don't have to attack any individual sin. His whole life is sin just like yours or mine before we were saved. You don't have to try to prove to him that this, in particular, is sin. Lastly, I didn't say he is saved, but he will indeed one day be saved (Rom 5:18). The point of converting people to Christ is not to save them from torture but to conform them to the image of Christ (Rom 8:29). I tell people about Jesus not to get them out of hell, but that they may return the love that has been bestowed upon them (1 John 4:18-19). This is why the criticism is not a logical fallacy ;) (I had to look that up as well as a couple from your earlier notes!) Nick |
