You are arguing about interpretation
Correct?
There’s a verse in Romans, I forget what exact one it is
I agree with eagle of course we should accept gay people
yes. But merely reading a verse without context is not reading a verse.
What chaz was arguing was that homosexuality is not a sin
But it basically talks about how the different beliefs in Christianity. Should be accepted because we are all brothers and sisters in Christ
A good analogy I know is: Trust Jesus like you would a parachute. You’re going to have to jump into eternity, but you don’t know when. Have Jesus like a parachute and you know that when the jump comes, you will be alright.
So if one Christian believes homosexuality Isn’t a sin, then you should accept their beliefs and mind your own
The analogy used had to do with scripture
When two Christians interpret scripture different
It’s basically saying
Accept the person even if they have a different interpretation
That’s not me being mushy
That’s what Jesus asked us to do
Yes I accept chaz and I know he has a different interpretation but that does not mean his interpretation is not open to criticism nor is mine
Actually it does
It says clearly in Romans that you shouldn’t criticize that person based on interpretation
I’ll go fetch the verse
@Eagle thx for your help
im not saying I dont accept them
Im saying both of our interpretations are open to criticism I’m sure Chaz is a nice guy and we probably agree on other things but neither of our interpretations should be shielded from good criticism
Please understand that is never something I try to do intentionally. i can understand why you think I am not accepting them ofc but that is not where my moral compas stands.

**“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 stands against criticism based on differences in interpretation
I didn’t put it
I just copied it from the followers of Christ
no, everything you have said, in general
I gotcha
Eagle. I understand where you are coming from. but it still does not deter what I said about Chaz refuting every bit of evidence we give him on any topic we have discussed with him
@CoolGuard sure but im gonna be busy im having a day out eith my mother
oh boy what now
