he said homosexuality is not a sin. The bible states that it is. That is adding and taking away from the holy book.

Hm. True

@corny🌽🌽 it explains not to criticize based on differences in faith

Which verse was it

Leviticus. About Homosexuality

It was upstairs

Are you talking about my verse or the homosexuality verse?

@corny🌽🌽

Y'all are quoting the Old Testament?

There's your problem

Smh

**“Accept other believers who are weak in faith, and don’t argue with them about what they think is right or wrong.** For instance, one person believes it’s all right to eat anything. But another believer with a sensitive conscience will eat only vegetables. Those who feel free to eat anything must not look down on those who don’t. And those who don’t eat certain foods must not condemn those who do, for God has accepted them. Who are you to condemn someone else’s servants? Their own master will judge whether they stand or fall. And with the Lord’s help, they will stand and receive his approval.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭14:1-4‬ ‭NLT‬‬

This is what i quoted @corny🌽🌽

I kinda stepped between a debate on scripture between @Osha19 and @chaz

What a tricky verse

I swear the one thing I learn about and its disregarded. Does no one care about this verse?

curse*

The verse seems to be dealing with a Christian's personal interpretation of Scripture. I think what Paul was saying can be also put in the context of a [fictional] verse reading "eat well to glorify God". One might take that as be vegetarian, one might take that as eat whatever you want in moderation. Both are following God's Word, just in different manners.

It is not saying to give pardon to all interpretations.

If someone were to eat poorly purposefully, if the Bible were to command health, that would not be permissible.

@corny🌽🌽 the heading of the verse was “The Dangers of Criticism”

Those were man made headings

Paul didn't have any headings.

Moving on.

@corny🌽🌽 this is correct.

@Eagle Ok.

@corny🌽🌽 the verse reads to me just as don’t criticize for differences in interpretation of faith.

I know

And that's what I said

@corny🌽🌽 alright I gotta go to class now

Interpret what is set in stone however you please, but make sure you follow it

@Eagle Ok

@corny🌽🌽 you have a good day sir👏

👌

@Osha19 In the context of your verse, that relates to taking what is out of stone out of context and manipulating it. The Bible is not hard to understand, as you also said, as it was preached to poor men and dregs, not rich men and kings. It was universal and laconic. It is straightforward. So if anyone were to take these simple teachings and not follow them or add to them unnecessarily, damnation is invoked.

Such as thinking Matthew 16:18 establishes episcopalism

There is deeper meaning to a lot of the verses. And books for that matter. it has taken years for people to properly understand Revelations. and we don't even understand it in its entireity

Meh Revelations probably isn't even canonical

nvrm.. I have school work to do. I've already spent an hour on this and I do want to have some freetime tonight.. have a good one.

Mhm
