You guys are NICER than Jesus

Jesus gave us the example of just looking upon a woman is to commit adultery

To hate a brother is to commit murder

But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Seems Jesus & you have two widly differing set of standards!

Your non practicing Sodomite does he lust in his heart?

BT: How do you know that this is what John had in mind when he made his statement? 

 

David wrote  >  Please agree with me that a homosexual who has only had tendencies but has not acted upon them is NOT a homosexual. 

 

BT: Perhaps if you could restate this, I will have a better idea of whether I agree with you or not. As it appears in its current state, your statement seems to me to be self-referentially incoherent; i.e., a homosexual is not a homosexual.

 

 

David wrote  > Would you consider a man who has experienced promiscuous tendencies but has never acted upon them a fornicator?

 

BT: No, but this is not the point I understood John to be making. Thatnotwithstanding, this point remains: Terry read John's post and immediately thought the worst of the whole group, as demonstrated by the explosiveness of his response; I read John's post and thought the best of those who were that "type" but were not engaging in the sinful activity of their volitions. Only John knows for sure what he meant to insinuate. But the fact remains, it could be read either way, as demonstrated by Terry and myself. Tell me please, What makes Terry's the preferred response for Christians to make? The truth is that there are some who have these tendencies who have not or are no longer acting upon their sexual desires. Whether they have stopped that which was once their lifestyle, or they have never acted upon their desires in the first place, the question remains: Why must they necessarily be filthy, disgusting perverts? I think Paul thought they did not have to be; hence his statement: "And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God."
