I didn’t claim it was true. I was simply pointing out if he actually read it, he would know the answer to it. Most of he questions could be answered if he had a basic knowledge of the Bible. They’re elementary questions that indicate he has no knowledge of the subject matter. The reason for that is because he isn’t interested in learning, just trolling.
Well, you should tell Paul. He listed a lot of sins and then said, "such were some of you, but you have been washed." When you are saved you receive a new nature. The bible says that. The old becomes new. The default setting is heterosexuality and when you are born again, you are repaired and set back into that default setting. Go argue with God.
Galatians 6, in its immediate context, has Paul talking about restoring a sinning believer to a right walk with God and fellowship with the church, not specifically restoring someone to a leadership position or the pulpit.
The Greek word translated restore (katartizō) carries the idea of mending, repairing, or putting something back into proper condition, like setting a broken bone or repairing a torn net. The focus is on the person's spiritual condition.
People have misused this book of the bible for years to put disqualified men back into the ministry. The qualifications are simple. He's violated them and disqualified himself. Restoring him to a right relationship with God is a good thing. Using this text to restore him to a ministry that he's disqualified for is wrong.
@ashpraxis_ At least you've admitted your opinion is irrelevant. I also have it on good authority that the bible is the word of God and it's pure. That makes your opinion about it, once again, irrelevant.
@VioletQuinnX Children are not punishments. Your perspective is trash. There is a 100% effective way to not get pregnant though. It’s called abstinence. If you’re not ready to have a child don’t have sex and you won’t have one.
It appears you didn’t use your thinker. You’re conflating two entirely different issues. Opposing abortion does not mean supporting rape, and believing an unborn child has a right to life doesn’t mean supporting the circumstances of their conception.
Nobody is arguing that rape is acceptable or that children who become pregnant shouldn’t receive appropriate medical care. You’re attacking a position no one made instead of addressing the actual disagreement: whether an innocent unborn child should lose their right to life because of the crime committed by their father.
You can condemn rape, protect children, and recognize the humanity of unborn children simultaneously. Those positions aren’t mutually exclusive.
@mal4ch1te@God_Questioner It doesn’t matter if you believe the tweet or not. It would still be murder if men did it and we would still be working on abolishing it. Who gets abortions is irrelevant when determining the morality of it.
