She means the same thing the sodomites mean when they claim homosexuality is no longer a sin, "cuz that's old testament."

Not so in the NT.

Like I said.

This is EXACTLY why women aren't supposed to be in charge, whether of the family or the nation or the church. Can't see past their own aprons most of the time, subject to histrionics and bouts of hysteria, etc.

Fearmongering and now lying. Good job.

Neither one. You think that because it's old testament, it no longer applies. Same as the "gay affirming" church crowd.

The only fear we need is the fear of God. Which is to hate evil, and every false way. Which includes Enlightenment humanistic egalitarian libertinism, aka muh consteetooshunul rahtz to be a criminal against God and truth and decency and nature itself.

PO please tell me what you meant. What I'm actually asking is if you believe that the scripture verse in Leviticus would no longer be part of the New Testament doctrines.

I live right next door to Wilton Manors Florida

I'll tell everyone this is a problem with the United States of the Empire. The Ecclesia is the frog in the kettle. In time this isn't getting better it will become horrific. To the point of insanity. We 5 full blown homoseual churches. two supposedly Pentecostal (one has a female preacher). This whole thing doesn't go after old people like us, it primarily goes after youth. Strike at the root of the tree and you kill the entire plant.

Are you saying that we are still commanded to stone people for homosexuality? Love the sinner, hate the sin is the NT teaching, isn’t it? Should we be thrilled that gays are being hung anywhere? Is approving of murder our approach to sin?

Easy, me friend.

I'm asking you what you are trying to say? I am under the impression that the only Bible the early church lugged around was the Hebrew Bible Tanakh (with all the books). So, how did they actually see that verse? They actually showed love for sinners by kicking the sinner out of their first century communities put him out of the church 1 Corinthians 5:2, 1 Corinthians 5:13.

[Evang.Benincasa]

Deuteronomy 13:5, Deuteronomy 17:7, Deuteronomy 17:12, Deuteronomy 21:21, Deuteronomy 22:21, and Judges 20:13.

Interpreted by Jesus in Matthew 18:17?

Yes, no, maybe?

Loving people at the expense of what we actually believe is two different things.

Love the person hate the sin.

I can give hypotheticals but there is no skin in the game with a hypothetical.

So, how did the early church deal with the issue of homsexuals in the chruch? Did they wait for them to get an epiphany?
