As much as I prefer your intepretation (which is pretty much the same interpretation that Feceman gave), it is not the popular one.Unfortunately, the majority of Christians on these forums, as well as in Politics, will strongly disagree with your claim.
So even though I like your intepretation better, how can I know for sure who is right and who is wrong? Christian debators are all saying different things.
JIA, Sonnet, Marcello, JM, and a bunch of other idiots are the people I refer to when I say thier intepretations of the Bible differ greatly from your own !
* good... we have arrived to a unison... and i am proud to say that the God i serve is good (Psalms 100:5)... being that, it would be unfit to give God something that He really is not...
* here, let me expound on a more specific point... some religious denominations preach that gays and lesbians are going straight to hell... that is stupid... the next reply would be: how can a good, loving God do that? heck, because God won't do that... what was wrong was the interpretations of these so-called "christians"... let us read from the Bible itself from where they claim they got that stupid idea...
"Or know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with men,
Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God."
I Corinthians 6:9-10
* if we will really read between the lines, the person itself here is NOT the issue... but the ACT... being a homosexual (whether be it gay or lesbian) is not a sin nor is a one-way ticket to hell...
* you see, the homosexual is very broad... there are cross-dressers/transvestites, there are closet-queens, there are screaming faggots... let us face the fact and be open-minded... how sure are we that all these homosexuals are committing sins against the Bible? we are NOT to judge people and we don't have any authority to do so whatsoever, most especially to say and condemn these people to hell? that's preposterous...
* now, let us continue reading what Saint Paul said about those homosexuals...
"And such were some of you: but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God."
I Corinthians 6:11
* they were washed, sanctified and justified by God... wow, just look at that... they are NOT going to hell like most of them says...
* another point i'd like to make is about how good people are going to hell? that idea is very idiotic... i've debated this topic once with mr.jesusisalive but he can never show anything something like that in the Bible... really, these people give God, Christ, Bible (and all things in connection) a very bad name...
"For God is not so unjust as to overlook your work and the love which you showed for his sake in serving the saints, as you still do."
Hebrews 6:10
* a single verse that destroys their silly idea... God is NOT unjust to overlook every person's goodness... but i have more up my sleeve... such as this:
"This is good, and it is acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
Who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth."
I Timothy 2:3-4
* God desires all men to be saved...
"For to this end we toil and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe."
I Timothy 4:10
* God is the Savior of all men, believers or non-believers...
* so basically, that was my point and i hope we will also agree that the God in the Bible is good and He will not do evil things like what those so-called "christians" are spewing... 😉
