” Or do we have to be bound by a set of rules that are discriminatory and obsolete?”
Wow, so now the sin called out by God is discriminatory and obsolete. People just don’t think before they spew forth liberal vomit.
I would think that the good Reverend DeLong would have read the Book...especially I Corinthians 6:9 and others in the Old and New Books that deal with homosexuals.
I can only conclude that Ms. DeLong does not believe the Book. She chooses to ignore the parts that she does not like and teaches that things that go against God is really O.K. because she says so......and because she says so, its O.K. to ignore some parts of the Word.
...anyway, Ms DeLong has put herself up as a "teacher" therefore is in grave danger of "receiving the heavier judgment".....as per James 3:1.
May God have mercy upon her and her "students"....
Don’t read the same book as I do. My Book (Bible) tells me things will get pretty hot one day for her/it.
This sums up all you ever need to win this argument, or any other about "inclusion" or "tolerance" when it is worshiped as an idol instead of Jesus Christ:
1) Christ never condemned humans as worthless, he loved them, even the money lenders, but...
2) Christ always, always condemned sin.
3) Sin doesn't change...what was a sin two thousand years ago is still a sin, even if you put lipstick on it and call it a "life choice".
4) Christ is the definition of "inclusion"...He wants to save EVERYONE from their sins by remaking them new in Him.
5) But after seeking Him, becoming His follower means you admit your sins before God, and try to repent from them. It doesn't mean you pretend your sins are fine with God, and then go on to seduce others that they should be proud to sin in the same way you do.
Someone please remind this faux-pastor that Christ warned that for those who tempt His children into sinning, it would be better for a millstone to be tied around their necks and be thrown into the sea than what awaits them in the hereafter.
As an aside, I have long thought that Kaukauna cheese was a Hawaiian name.
These people are luke warm and God will spit them out of His mouth. You can tell this by their reluctance to reprimand this formal heretic.
These people would rather sell their souls to participate in abominable sin and worry about judgment as if it is somehow a sixties love fest rather than the “Day of the Lord.”
Matthew 24:44-51
44 Wherefore be you also ready, because at what hour you know not the Son of man will come. 45 Who, do you think, is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has appointed over his family, to give them meat in season? 46 Blessed is that servant, whom when his lord shall come he shall find so doing. 47 Amen I say to you: he shall place him over all his goods. 48 But if that evil servant shall say in his heart: My lord is long a coming: 49 And shall begin to strike his fellow servants and shall eat and drink with drunkards: 50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day that he hopes not and at an hour that he knows not: 51 And shall separate him and appoint his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
