So, stumbled upon this on the blog of a supposed theologian of the day (if you want to know who you can e-mail me…I cannot in good conscious link his blog here):
If you are one who thinks that homosexual sex is sinful, can you please explain to me WHY a gay or lesbian person who is in a long-term, monogamous relationship would not be able to wholeheartedly follow Christ?
My only stipulation is this: You may not quote one of the six verses in scripture that mentions homosexuality. Instead, you must use theological and/or philosophical arguments to attempt to convince me that when you have genital contact with someone of your own gender, it somehow inhibits your relationship with Christ.
Did you catch the way he steers the debate away from God’s revealed Word to man’s quite fallible attempts at philosophical theology (which is what theology without the Bible ends up being).
If I were to respond, which would in reality be quite pointless, I’d simply have to say, “Sir, I do not accept your terms. The Bible is our ultimate guide in all matters of faith and practice not man’s most recent attempts at rational philosophy. Also, if you insist upon this type of approach please remove any mention of Christian to whatever religion you are following.”
Satan’s oldest trick (found in Genesis 3) “God did not really say“….
