Subject: Please explain the following verses... |
Bible Note: I agree that we are ALL sinners, saved by grace. My point was in the classification of a person as a "homosexual", as if they have no choice in the matter, that they were created that way. And I don't think Mary was still a "whore" after she repented and changed her way of living. Was a Paul a murderer after he was called on the road to Damascus? Was Peter a traitor after he turned and repented? Was Mark a coward his whole life? I think the answer is no. We should not be labeled by our sinful acts. If we continue in the same sin after repenting, then we need to question whether or not we really have a new nature, or if our confession was just a mental acknowledgement. I say this in light of I John 3:6-10 and other passages. I mean no disrespect to anyone, in fact I think we do disrespect to ourselves and others by labeling each other, as if we can never change. Hope this clarifies what I was trying to say. Chuck |
