I've finally openly proclaimed my Universlaism on my Blog

[davo]

Davo,

Your charge of “eisegesis” is nothing but a light-weight lazy cop-out on your part because you cannot stomach the 3 points given, let alone deal with them.

Hardly. There isn’t a single instance in the Bible of homosexuality being spoken of in anything but negative terms.

Hmmm… if you didn’t have such a plank in your own eye you’d see the 3 points given are indeed wholly negative… for the reasons stated.

Yet you are arguing that when homosexuality is condemned in the Bible, it ‘must not’ be homosexuality itself that’s being condemned. There is zero reason to think that when homosexuality was condemned, it was merely being used as a proxy for following other gods.

Go back and read it again qaz as “following other gods” and all that that entailed was but ONE reason. Again, “zero reason”? Can I suggest you do some study on this as there are bulk examples across the OT, but don’t be lazy, I’m not doing your homework for you. And why have you ignored the other two? …because on them you can give no rational or reasoned response either.

You then divert onto something quite other than what I was dealing with — my guess is because you cannot raise a rational or reasoned response to what I’ve raised.

So why do you approve or disapprove of bestiality and incest?

I see out of the blue you’ve asked this a few times now… do you have fascination with bestiality and incest? For mine… neither are part of who I am; what need of yours is being met by this enquiry?

Well, rabbit trails from time to time, can bring mucho information. Though I understand you sentiment.

Yea, I get rabbit trails, but the OP was a believer anouncing that they hav reached a point of assurance to speak out the salvation of all. What followed was no rabbit trail, imo- it bore no relationship to the OP. I think this is why forums end up boiling down to a few posters debating the same ol arguments. Just no sensitivity to anything beyond whatever axe they are grinding.

“hijacked” are you kidding Eagle Did you actually READ the OP… look at the two MAIN paragraphs AND the last sentence AND the first respondent’s question. Seems to me what followed was typical of the flavour of the OP. Perhaps your sensitivities were being hijacked??

Well, I would say first of all, confessing my sin as I have been a frequent contributor to this thread, so I would ask that you would get all of us involved back on track… And this is a heat felt sentiment.
No BS involved.

There are many who have idea’s and thoughts. We may be able to learn from their ramblings.

Just a thought

[Eaglesway]

Yea, I am just rambling too. I think it is an interesting phenomenom. I am not trying to “straighten anyone out”. I am just pointing it out.

We ramble right over folks interests without even noticing when they quit posting in their own thread and participating in our forums because almost every thread will eventually come around to one of three or four long-term doctrinal or philosophical conflicts between 5 or 6 different members.

Same thing occurs over at Tentmaker and I’ve never been able to figure it out… it may be an internet wide indemic rabbit hole

And now here I am hijacking this thread in another direction, so I guess I will quit while I am a head.

lol, exactly

2Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God. 3For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but think of yourself with sober judgment, according to the measure of faith God has given you.…

Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus:

Here is a Link to my Blog

You can also find there my in-depth discussion of the Homosexuality issue.

[pog]

Might this conversation on sexuality be better had in the controversial topics sub-forum?

I understand how it developed naturally, but it seems a little disconnected from the topic title. It wasn’t what I was expecting when I clicked on it - lol Anyway, just making a note - feel free to tell me to mind my own business if I’m out of order here.

It’s Relevant to this Topic cause it’s tied to why I held off so long. You can move the topic to a different board if you want, I have another one I want to create for this one anyway.

Universalists will at least never think it’s okay to say “God Hates Fags” when you reject Eternal Damnation, the logic behind that Blasphemy dies. And that is why I’m happy to be here.
