in your posts klyd!
If you are saying that the bible says that homosexuality is forbidden and that we in in society should condem it because it is commanded in the bible and THEN you tell me that the bible says "we are delivered from the law" and the "requirements that were against us has been wiped out".
DO WE OBEY THE LAW OR NOT?
In other words you are saying that we dont need to obey the law of God expressed in the bible UNLESS it suits our needs? I suppose YOUR need is to feel superior to homosexuals.. or something sick like that.
Getting back to your posted scritures... YES we were delivered from the law... BUT NOT GODS LAW!!! jesus came to deliver us from the law imposed upon the jews. The man made laws that made religion hard and oppressive!...
Jesus came to bring us BACK to the LAW of GOD not away from it..
Mark10:17-19
The Rich Young Man
17As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
18“Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good–except God alone. 19You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, do not defraud, honor your father and mother.’[a]”
I thought this one especially fitting....
Matthew 15:3-9
3Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?
4For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’
5But you say that if a man says to his father or mother, ‘Whatever help you might otherwise have received from me is a gift devoted to God,’
6he is not to ‘honor his father[c]’ with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition.
7You HYPOCRITES! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you: 8“ ‘These people honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me. 9They worship me in vain;
their teachings are but rules taught by MEN.
So who are you for? God or men?
