Do Homosexuals Think They Can Get a Free Pass from God?

P.S. It is not an assertion. Quantrill literally believes to the words of the Bible. He just quoted what the Bible says.
I personally do not know how else one can belive in what the Bible says rather than literally.

 

Amen to that brother.

I don't believe the bible is the literal word of god. I believe the word of god is infallible yet I believe the bible was written by the fallible hands of man. Thus, I believe man has corrupted the bible- its the only way I can make sense of some parts of the text. To each his own I guess.

 

Indeed. But in some way one has to provide some grounds or arguments for one's belief. And in some way a belief wich has great contradictions within itself does not sound as a sound to me.

I don't think any living man can make all sense of all parts.

 

ABSOLUTELY!!!! It basically states that within the Bible. That “evil” runs this Earth and no man is pure and that is why Jesus died on the Cross because no man can live up to God’s standards of living and we will ALL sin. Thus, if we all sin, then the word of God can be corrupt due to “free will” that God has given us.

 

An interesting point, my friend. Being that man has free will, he can choose with virtue or choose with corruption. Of course it's not complete free agency, as you pointed out, because we're inclined toward sinfulness. Though the Bible has many individual contributors, it was by 3 different church counsils that the canon was decided. Many candidates were considered for canonicity, but, as you pointed out, corruption is possible. So those works were not included. Your paradigm points out the problem but fails to see that men can rise above their savage nature when lead by the Holy Spirit. Because men can be corrupt doesn't mean they're always corrupt.

 

Agreed. Sometimes I think people spend to much time trying to make sense of it. Personally, I find that constantly asking myself "What would Jesus do?" helps me more than my bible studies do. JC was a righteous dude!
