I think that if it does refer to any kind of sexual inclination rather than a birth defect or the like, those "born thus" would have to refer to asexuals rather than those confused about sexuality. Asexuals have little to no sexual inclination. So...
Hi Joanne, I'm not thinking so much of them having a homosexual drive as I am them not having a natural sexual drive to the opposite sex, thereby confusing them. It says "born thus from their mothers womb". Maybe they didn't understand this teachi...
I'd say the plain context doesn't leave room for homosexuality;that said, if one seeks to do something sexual outside of marriage, it could include same-sex relationships. I'd not read it into this text. Sexual immorality casts a wide net, but the...
Paul says it is better to marry than to burn with passion. But that isn't the main reason why people marry; they marry to create a family. Otherwise, the marriage is just a fruitless escape valve, and human life is not completed as God intended.
This is from the Book of Concord, The Lutheran Confessions and from the Apology of the Augsburg Confession.
14 Third, Paul says (1 Cor. 7:2), “Because of the temptation to immorality, each man should have his own wife.” This is an express com...
I'm curious about the kind of connection you are thinking about, Sheri. Do you mean that if a person has a homosexual drive, then one option is to "make themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake"? Or are you saying that if a person has a...
In context of this passage, I don't see how it has anything to do with homosexuality. The text is pretty clear, I think, that lists 3 reasons for celibacy.
Thanks Craig. But just because it hasn't been mentioned in any of those discussions, doesn't mean it's not something to think about. I find it very interesting, and would like to hear some other approaches on it.
I'm so sorry to hear that Kevin. I pray for comfort in your hearts.
However, I have to ask, you say, "animals in heaven, yes they're here. . ." which to my understanding would mean that you are in heaven?
Matthew 19: 11-12: But He said to them, "All cannot accept this saying, but only those to whom it has been given. For there are eunuchs who were born thus from their mother's womb, and there are eunuchs who were made by men, and there are eunuchs ...
Serephim. . .I have hairless Chihuahua's! I'm a dog fanatic too! LOL! My smallest is about 2lbs, if that! And he looks like a mini-giraffe. His name is Piglet, when he was born he looked just like a tiny piglet, only with white hair on the top of ...
So Kevin, what you're saying is that Jesus Christ has come? Because, out of everything in this universe, I think the only "perfect" thing is Jesus Christ Himself.
Actually, it's 1 Corinthians 13:8-9. If you reread this passage, not just these two...
