Subject: Homosexuality: Is Bible Too Harsh? |
Bible Note: Say keep reading 1 Cor 6:9, 10 AND 11. This says that because we were washed and sanctified in Christ Jesus name, that we were justified before God. I interpret this to mean that God outlawed this scene. The gay scene is heavily on promiscuos sex. But through Christ Jesus, we are allowed to love another of the same sex. That is love, not lust, in the passion of God. I believe God is love and love, being committed and focused, is not to be condemmed. I still however am trying to figure out what the word "inherit" means in this passage. That it wasnt just bestowed upon us, that we must go through the process to sanctify our selves in Jesus. |
