You told me that I Was arguing with Jesus. Well, that does seem the direct implication of Jesus' word. We were arguing over whether homosexual sex was sinful or not. How else can I take it, other than you are saying that Jesus is telling me that homosexual sex is fine? Actually, that is not what I am saying - what I am saying is that you shall know an instance - of, in the instance of this discourse, homosexual sex - by its fruits. Such stand the explicit word of Jesus. Furthermore, even if this were applicable in your equivocation to a blanket assertion that the fruits of all instance of homosexual sex are exclusively good, this would not then effectively equivocate to your insinuations that I attempt to assert such as commandment. In closing, a use of your words - Your refusal to delve in and completely grasp the Bible - or, more specifically, your wanton disregard for any commandment or assertion which does not hold to blanket condemnations which you might wish to support - makes it hard for me to get you to understand. Not that I wish to make you conform in any way to Jesus' word - such standing entire between you and Him - merely that I wish that those who choose His word over the condemnations over an age be well recognized their right to follow God thereby. No great thing - unless its service be denied His servant... and even if you threaten another with hell, I shall attempt to avoid the same - knowing such threat not my authority. I will not, however, ignore demands that His servants abandon His commands for yours. In preemption, please spare me a repetition of your prior fallacy of the straw man of your construction - I still have not attempted to assert homosexual sex as an explicit commandment, sir, but merely pointed out that Jesus calls for judgement based on the fruits of a thing itself, in its instance. Fulfillment stand it the fruits of Love, sir, in the being or the bearing? |
