I guess we should really ask all the christian philanderers that question. But we understand that you pick and choose the sins you like/dislike.
I've asked you before if you can actually back up that accusation, and you never have. I do not pick and choose what I like and dislike. But you continue to lie.
That doesn't seem like something a nice budhist would do.

You're very anti-gay based on certain bible passages, but cannot even admit that the majority men in this country who commit sexual sins (as per the bible) are christian.
You don't need to outright say what is CLEARLY evident in your posts, BF. You seem to believe that you're debating with simpletons.
1 Corinthians 6? I don't think that's where Jesus was alleged to have said that. Moreover, 1 Corinthians was a letter written by Paul. Jesus had nothing to do with it.

I'll just speak my mind. I really don't care!

And finally, 3. homosexuality is not a sin.

You poor 'fundie'. That you require the alleged words of a long-dead author who you never personally knew to do your thinking for you is rather pathetic. By the way, do you keep the Sabbath? That's God's word. It's even one of the ten commandments,
* I like the 'vessel running out of gas' sounds that come from those religious stalwarts who claim obedience to God's word when I ask that question.

And that's really what it comes down to, isn't it? You'd rather have your own ideas over that of a "long-dead author". Because you know better.
That's the same thing Eve desired in the Garden when Satan asked her "You won't surely die, will you?" She wanted to be like God. She thought she knew better.
This is what our culture is. We think we know better than God.

Have I EVER suggested Christians are sinless? No. Of course not. But we are forgiven. And a Christian is one that strives to overcome their sin, not revel in it, even while never truly conquering it.
Yet you seem to believe God is subject to the culture of 2000 years ago, which, as I've pointed out here several times, obviously influenced the author of most of the epistles.
I know, I know, you think God whispered in his ear what to write, and of course we heartily disagree on that point, but I have to say it for others who might be reading here.

Now, that's a great point. Heck, we see the culture of the time influencing the NT compared with the OT.

I actually mean no offense to Paul when I say, "I don't care." It's your persistent 'in-your-face' bleating that Paul's words are God's words and that 'God' (through Paul) hates the gay community as well as the churches that accept (YOUR words) "this demonic practice." It's not Paul's fault that you have deified him and exalted his writings to that of divine status.
Sorry Paul if you're listening.
That said. Yes, on THIS topic anyway, I AM better educated than Paul.

Hmmm ...just a tad overly dramatic, don't you think?

Again, on this topic anyway, we do know better than the Bible authors' God. We know that homosexuality is just another facet of human sexuality. The Bible authors (and their God) would not have known that. You know that too, but you must continue to dig in your heels in order to curry favor with your version of a judgmental and cruel God. Let it go, BF.

Why do you assume (no comment about that word) that your culture is everyone else's culture. You have zero concept of diversity of any type.

Do you even understand what you just wrote?
