    Homosexuality: Wrong or Right?

    I believe the most accurate translation of 1 Cor. 6:9 is: The Interlinear KJV/NIV Parellel : New Testament in Greek and English, Zondervan Copyright 1980 "Or know ye not that unrighteous men will not inherit [the] kingdom of God? Be not led astray; not fornicators nor idolaters nor adulterers...

    Young Evangelicals Moving Toward Amillennialism and Postmillennialism

    https://www.christianpost.com/news/support-for-israel-declines-among-younger-evangelicals.html Maybe it is not all doom and gloom in the future! Who knows, maybe the Almighty will bring about a true Holy Spirit revival to His people. We can surely keep praying that would happen.

    Homosexuality: Wrong or Right?

    I suppose you are aware that King James though married, had three male lovers in his life - https://www.historyisnowmagazine.com/blog/2021/3/14/james-vijames-is-love-life-the-british-king-whose-lovers-were-men

    Homosexuality: Wrong or Right?

    The word of God - "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 mankind," (1Cor 6:9 KJV) *Nothing there about homosexuals 1828 Websters "effeminate, 1...

    A Great Conservative Study Bible using the ESV that is ANTI-dispensational

    Grafted Branch, what or where are you finding that OG? I have bookmarked what is supposed to be an excellent English translation of Old Greek along side of Theodotion and it reads different. https://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/nets/edition/40-daniel-nets.pdf I've had to edit this. Now I do see what...

    A Great Conservative Study Bible using the ESV that is ANTI-dispensational

    Grafted Branch, after leaving the Dispensationalist interpretation of the 70 weeks in Daniel 9, I have consistently held to the older traditional interpretation. After doing some reading of late, I've come to realize just how uncertain some of the translations in this passage are and how...

    A Great Conservative Study Bible using the ESV that is ANTI-dispensational

    Yesterday I wrote: "I do not use the ESV translation myself, as my 'study Bible', but it is the study aids that I find so helpful in that LCMS Study Bible. If you look at the links I gave, notice the helps, and even the short commentaries you'll find are conservative. I also agree that God has...

    Homosexuality: Wrong or Right?

    Eerdmans Dictionary of the Bible, Copyright 2000 "The terms 'homosexuality' and 'homosexual' are coinages of the 19th century C.E. and have no equivalent in ancient Hebrew or Greek. It is debatable whether the modern idea of homosexuality (an erotic attraction focused only or primarily on...

    Saved in Him, I apologize for I apparently misread or misinterpreted your reply. I suppose I was reading between the lines, sorry 'bout that.

    Homosexuality: Wrong or Right?

    Open your eyes and read how the 1828 Webster's defines the KJV words as I recorded in my posts. You can also get a hint from what it means for one to "sodomize" another person. That is the act of a sodomite. Go to the Merriam-Webster and read about standard English versus offensive language...

    A Great Conservative Study Bible using the ESV that is ANTI-dispensational

    You believe your own particular denomination, group, etc., has only the truth and all of it? Your denomination or group can't defend its view against other Christian denominations? That is dangerous to wear such spiritual blinders.

    Homosexuality: Wrong or Right?

    The Holy Spirit has informed you that every and each gay man has the "GIFT" of celibacy? "For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that. I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if...

    A Great Conservative Study Bible using the ESV that is ANTI-dispensational

    David, If I may add to your excellent reply, the helps we have available to us in this day to discuss variations or decisions in translation can keep us from being in the dark on many questions. I'll first quote John 1:1 from the Revised English Bible; then from the NET2.1 Bible along with an...

    Homosexuality: Wrong or Right?

    Last night I watched a comedy routine "You know you're a redneck if....". I'll write "You know you're a religious homophobic bigot if..." 1. You think "sodomite" means the same thing, and is synonymous with "homosexual". 2. You think rape or attempted rape is sin because it is M-M, and...

    Homosexuality: Wrong or Right?

    I do not discuss marriage in this context because biblical marriage is ONLY man to woman, not man to man. To bring in questions like "pre-marital" or use like "fornication" or "adultery" in a M-M context when the Bible never uses those heterosexual sins of heterosexuals in the context of M-M...

    Truth, I do not use the ESV translation myself, as my 'study Bible', but it is the study aids that I find so helpful in that LCMS Study Bible.

    Homosexuality: Wrong or Right?

    Your reply is typical of your nasty spirit! You attack the doctrines of Augustine, Luther and Calvin in the same perverted manner as you have misrepresented what I have written! I've never equated sexual intimacy in itself as love. Context indicates meaning. Just as with or similar to your...

    Homosexuality: Wrong or Right?

    Eze 16:48-50 KJVA "As I live, saith the Lord GOD, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters. 49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither...

    I have posted a photo of the Revelation chart from the LCMS Study Bible, so I'll post the chart of Daniel 9 as found in this LCMS Study Bible
