Ask a Protestant Christian

[GamezRule]

Do you ever take time to look at what you are saying before you say it?

 

[GhostWriter16]

To what are you referring?

 

[Whiskey_Lord]

God has bad breath, evidently.

Alright, enough trolling in this thread, and that goes for everyone...

 

[Arakhor]

Define Scripture. Does the Apocrypha qualify? What about the Qur'an and the Torah?

You noticeably didn't answer my question. Jesus forged a new covenant, apparently, so was Paul talking out of his arse or did Jesus also disapprove of homosexuality? Where is he recorded saying that?

 

[CELTICEMPIRE]

"not an iota, not a dot will disappear from the law" -somewhere in the gospels, if something was punished by death in the OT, that doesnt mean it still should be. But it does mean that it is probably immoral.

 

[Arakhor]

That doesn't really help your case, Celtic. If "not an iota, not a dot will disappear from the law", but suddenly people are being punished differently under those laws, then a lot more than iotas and dots have disappeared.

 

[CELTICEMPIRE]

not the part of the law that was for the Jews only (ceremonal, among others). But it was the moral law.

 

[Jehoshua]

You know, there's an awful lot in the recent posts with which to get irritated, but if you're a blatant homophobe, please just say so, as it will avoid you using codewords like "not corrupted by the current societies vices".

Actually I had no specific intention of implying homosexuality by "current societies vices" I intended it as a generic term for all the relativistic immorality in so many areas in modern society including such things as abortion, hypersexualisation of society in general and the general attitude of society which acts as if God does not exist.

As to what the Church teaches on homosexuality, it teaches that the inclination to homosexuality is not in itself sinful, but that it is intrinsically disordered. Homosexual acts themselves however are a grave sin and deeply immoral. However before I get into a theological rant this is ask a protestant, so if you want to discuss the topic from a catholic perspective do it on the ask a catholic thread. (even if I want to rant here until Dom3000 stops doing the same on the ask a catholic thread [instead of just asking questions])

I know and incorporated your answer in my judgement.
Some analogy with fish hooks about wasting sex.

The Bible said (courtesy of Classical_Hero) if you're to horny to keep your pants on, get married and screw yourself silly. Which you call "a beautiful thing". And it depends what you believe sex was made for. Which I think you are referring to making babies. And only married couples can make babies, we all know that.

So, eating a very delicious dinner would be as bad I reckon. Eating was made for survival, not enjoyment. The exact same principle applies.

As I said, completely arbitrary.

It's called gluttony.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

No, no. Not eating a lot of fancy food. Just fancy food.

 

[Bill3000]

No, no. Not eating a lot of fancy food. Just fancy food.

That's still a form of gluttony, actually. Gluttony does not simply refer to eating a lot of food.

 

[Whiskey_Lord]

So do they only serve gruel in heaven then?

 

[Bill3000]

So do they only serve gruel in heaven then?

Why on earth would you need to be fed in heaven?

There are five forms of gluttony:

1. Laute - eating food that is too luxurious, exotic, or costly.
2. Nimis - eating food that is excessive in quantity.
3. Studiose - eating food that is too daintily or elaborately prepared.
4. Praepropere - eating too soon, or at an inappropriate time.
5. Ardenter - eating too eagerly.

That's just Aquinas talking.

edit wiki said there are 6.

 

[Whiskey_Lord]

So how much is too much for each of those five?

 

[Bill3000]

That's just Aquinas talking.

Nope, St. Gregory the Great too.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

So that's two.

Bet they were vegetarians.

edit 2: Couldn't they just have simpled it down to "fun is a sin"

 

[Whiskey_Lord]

That would have made the Bible a lot shorter and more honest.

 

[Perfection]

No.

Why not?

No, but if it were a fine, it would be fine. That's the point.

That doesn't seem like a very notable point. If anything is X, it's X.

Well, he only dies for the sin of those who will believe

Why?

Anyways, what makes everyone worthy of Hell?
