Jim, Can you please explain when it is permissible to end the life of a child? And please don't use the old "when the life of the mother is at risk" excuse. That is no longer relevant with today's medicine.
I just got into a discussion with a young man on FB over this very issue. He claims to be “well-versed in the Bible” and used the shellfish argument with me as well. Sadly though, this young man does not by his own admission believe in the inerrancy of the Holy Scripture. He said it was “WRITTEN BY MAN IMPERFECTLY TRANSLATING THE WORD OF GOD.” And therefore cannot be trusted. He also sited the story of Sodom and Gomorrah as a parable, not an actual event. He said, “Unless you can find me the scripture that explicitly defines marriage as one man and one woman you will continue to be a bigot who uses religion incorrectly to justify their intolerance.” Interestingly I have heard these same arguments from my Atheist nephew.
I agree with you, Pastor Chuck that 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 is clear about what it is teaching. Why would anyone, especially a pastor, want to exclude gay people from that list, to repent of their sin? Because it is unpopular or they are afraid of being called a bigot, when an eternal soul is at stake? That is not loving or even sensible in light of 1 Corinthians 1:18… how can we who know the truth keep silent?
