Universities Offer Blasphemous “Queer Bible” Courses

[Kermos]

I would not take @Kermos seriously, he does not properly research an accusation. Seems to only want to throw mud.

You call "mud" all of this wonderful Holy Scripture:

1. “you did not choose Me, but I chose you” (John 15:16) and “I chose you out of the world” (John 15:19) and “Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly [places] in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him in love” (Ephesians 1:3-4)
2. “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent” (John 6:29) and “by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, [it is] the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His work” (Ephesians 2:8-10) and “God, who knows the heart, testified to them giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He also did to us; and He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith” (Acts 15:8-9)
3. “he who practices the Truth comes to the Light, that his works may be revealed, that they are having been worked in God” (John 3:21) and “being filled with the fruit of righteousness that [is] by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God” (Philippians 1:11)
4. "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the Kingdom of God" (John 3:3) and “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit” (John 3:5-8) and “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead” (1 Peter 1:3)
5. “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to babes” (Matthew 11:25) and “Well then, God has given to the Gentiles also the repentance that leads to life” (Acts 11:18)
6. “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another” (John 13:34) and “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God” (1 John 4:7, see the phrase “love is from God” meaning God is the source of true love) and “God is Love, and the one who abides in Love abides in God, and God abides in him” (1 John 4:16, see the phrase “one who abides in Love” is equivocated with “one who abides” “in God” which extends from God’s exclusivity with “God is Love”)

Nor do you believe the exclusive Way with absolute Truth in everlasting Life (John 14:6), the love of Christ controls us Christians (2 Corinthians 5:14)!

Believe the Word of God!

Love,
Kermos

"those roots are corrupt, no matter how ancient they may be."

There is a problem with this statement. You condenm everyone, including yourself.

When I wrote “those roots are corrupt, no matter how ancient they may be” I was not condemning all men (even myself). I was saying that age or antiquity do not make a wrong thing right. If it contradicts God’s Word, it is not of God, even if it is an old or ancient tradition. That does not condemn all men. It reveals systems that pervert or add to the gospel.

Jesus Himself said, “Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up” (Matthew 15:13). Paul railed against “another gospel” (Galatians 1:6–9). So an ancient tradition is not a saving root, if it does not affirm the sufficiency of Christ’s completed work.

I am not condemning individuals here. I am simply doing what the Scripture commands, measuring teaching against the Word of God: “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God” (1 John 4:1). If it passes that test, I am committed to it. If it does not, I will reject it, no matter how many centuries it has been a part of the tradition.

So the point is not a matter of condemning all men. The point is that the “roots” we lay hold to, must they be in Christ and His Word alone, or can they be in the traditions of men that cancel out His truth (Mark 7:13)? That is a point of eternal distinction.

So, "Lord made it plain as day to me", you say? Give me the scripture reference for that. Or, did God whisper that in your ear?

18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.

27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.

Romans

Is this good for you.

May God fill us with his love and wisdom

I do understand why so many churches, denominations have such animosity towards the catholics, and the catholics are not innocent of the same crime. This has to do with years and years, hundreds of years of conditioning.

Don't believe me go to a few different Protestant churches and then go to a few different Catholic churches, even to this day you will hear homilies/preaching of how terrible the other is. So much bickering.

It is because of this bickering that neither of you will be spared from God's wrath.

As in the time of Noah, people were sinning. Even while it was raining and flooding, they still sinned. So it will be, for all the bickering children. Even when the Witnesses bring the wrath of God to the sinful earth, the sons and dauthers of God will still point fingers at eachother, and still pride will fill them. So much so that preachers will dare to say, it is ok to take the mark of the beast.

You will live to see it

The Holy Spirit lives in me, and i am catholic.

There are many here, not catholic, who have the Holy Spirit.

There are many people filled with the Holy Spirit that are not praised by man, but they are praised by God.

Hi Bill,

Does a person with the indwelling Holy Spirit call himself or another mere man "Pastor" despite the Lord Jesus Christ declaring that He is the One Pastor with "they will become one flock with One Pastor" (John 10:16)?

Does a person with the indwelling Holy Spirit call himself or another mere man "Leader" despite the Christ of us Christians decrees "Do not be called leaders; for One is your Leader, that is, Christ" (Matthew 23:10)?

Does a person with the indwelling Holy Spirit call himself or another mere man "Father" despite the Word of God "Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven" (Matthew 23:9)?

Do you as a Roman Catholic Church member follow the Roman Catholic Church leader who the Roman Catholic Church specifies as occupying the office of the Apostle Peter now occupied by pope Leo XIV, your holy father?

Does a person with the indwelling Holy Spirit call himself or another mere man "Teacher" despite the Christ declares "do not be called Rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers" (Matthew 23:8)?

Does a person with the indwelling Holy Spirit call himself or another mere man anything more than "brothers" for the "One" "Teacher" instructs "do not be called Rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers" (Matthew 23:8)?

Does a person with the indwelling Holy Spirit believe that the person's fleshly free-will knows who Jesus Christ is despite the Holy Word "Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven." (Matthew 16:17)?

Does a person with the indwelling Holy Spirit exercise authority over the brothers despite the Light "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them. It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave; just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many" (Matthew 20:25-28)?

Does a person with the indwelling Holy Spirit believe life is in the tomes of "Catechism of the Catholic Church" and "Code of Canon Law Annotated - 4th Edition" despite the Life "the words that I have spoken to you are Spirit, and are Life" (Lord Jesus Christ, John 6:63)?

Does a person with the indwelling Holy Spirit write "Does receiving the Eucharist give me salvation, yes." (proof post #59) and also write "Why, what is the Eucharist, Jesus." (proof post #59) and also write "the answer is no" (proof post #131) to the question of "Does receiving the Eucharist give a muslim who rejects Jesus salvation"?

Believe the Word of God!
