WHAT DID JESUS CHRIST OR HIS BONAFIDE, ORDAINED APOSTLES SAY CONDEMNING HOMOSEXUALITY?
=======
Who are you to say who was bonified and who is not? Were you there. You have no proof to your accusation of Paul. and that that you use is so far out of context if is utter foolishness.
He was given the right hand of fellowship from Peter and the elders in Jerusalem, Peter called him a beloved brother.
If you destroy the scriptures you can make it say anything you like. If you like the gospels then here is one for you. "Then Judas went an hanged himself...go and do like wise" both of these are scriptures. so the Bible teaches suicide and it tells you David Wadsworth to kill yourself.
Jesus said that those who were not his would be cast into outer darkness and gnashing their teeth. It cross reference with it in the Book of Revelation(Paul was dead when this book was written) and it referese to the same outer darkness in Rev. 22:15, "outside are dogs, sorcerers, and sexually immoral and murderers....." the OT says that anyone caught practicing sexual immorality was to be put to death." Homosexuality is considered sexual immorality. and God finds it abominable. In Genesis is says about Soddom and Gammorah, " all the men young and old in Soddom surrounded the house and cried out "where are the MEN who came to you this night? Bring them out that we may know them." this term Know them is a reference to sexual intimance in other words they wanted to have sex with them. If we proceed further we can see it is true. "Lot pleaded with them not to do this wickedness (sexual assult on strangers), and gave them his two virgin daughters to have SEX with. so the intent of these men was to rape the two men in Lots house, but they still wanted these men (who were angels) so they were struck with blindness to protect Lot. Well we all know the end Soddom and Gammorah was destroyed because of its wickedness which included it sexual immorality.
so Paul never taught anything that God did not already teach. But DW teaches things that God did not teach.
Now Christians are to love homosexuals but it never says to love the sin of homosexuality. If people are preaching against it they might be wrong in their appraoch and doing more harm than good in winning Homosexuals to the Truth in Christ. All True Chrisitians need to be graceful when dealing with those who practice sexual sin.
