No it won't. Their "seminar" will preach what their itching ears want to hear.
I noticed (several years ago) that when you put "Homosexuality and Bible" into Google's search engine, the top articles that appeared all argued that the Bible didn't condemn homosexuality at all.
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Seems pretty straightforward to me.
They've brought it onto themselves.
Deny God and God recompenses you for such denial.
There are consequences for actions.
They may as well have a mark on their forehead or hand, as it were.
All - Please read Dennis Prager’s article: “Why Judaism (and then Christianity) Rejected Homosexuality.” Great and enlightening article.
For better understanding of scripture, participants will look at writings of ancient scrolls though the influences of Middle Eastern traditions, Hebrew traditions, Greek and Roman traditions and early Christian situations. …So “better understanding of scripture” comes from the examples of what happens when scripture is rejected?
It's the way of Leftism...
Oh look, man trying to be God again... How’s that working for us?
Last I remember, God destroyed the sodomites at the city of Sodom for a reason. And it had nothing to do with a “lack of hospitality.”
To quote Obozo:
“Just words.”
;-)
It DOESN'T?????
That's news to me! I think it's also news to tens of millions of Christians over the course of the last 2000 years.
From the beginning, man has allowed himself to question the authority of God:
Genesis 3:1 (NIV2011)
1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”
Did God really say it? Did He? Really? Are you sure? Let me tempt you to believe that you can decide for yourself what is right and wrong. Eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and you can be like God.
Bears repeating.
Wrong, wrong, wrong!
See verse 26 above, to wit..."for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature".
A whole bunch of truth in that statement....
You are correct. It's the translation of the Greek word "pornea" - which means any improper or unlawful sexual practice. We get the English word pornography from it. Christ condemned it in both the books of Matthew and Mark and to a Jewish audience. Such an audience would have immediately understood that it included homosexual conduct.
There is a gay “christian” Matthew Vines who goes around giving these same lectures. Dr. James White has a 5 hour program on his “Alpha & Omega” website where he just eviscerates every argument the Vines’ tries to offer. Vines refuses to debate Dr. White because he knows he would get destroyed.
This is probably how the pastor finds new hook-ups.
Episcopal, Methodist, and of late, Lutheran - All have become false churches teaching false doctrine.
Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
“One would think that no reasonable person could misinterpret them. But then, we’re not living in an age of reason.”
There you go. These people are not reasonable and operate under a very strong, satanic delusion.
