{...}I now understand [Brandon Robertson's] argument. Yes, Canaan and sometimes Egypt--not always--had allowed homosexual sex. But, the God of the Bible isn't the God of the Hittites, and Egyptians.

The Bible's authority is not derived from its inerrancy. It's derived from God and God alone. To interpret the Bible, you need God's help and guidance. As with anything else. It's clear Homosexuality is censured by both Testaments. And even by Jesus, and it's clear through the apostolic succession that was the tradition handed down by Christ to His Saints.

Basically, Christ goes over that through most of the book of John, that the Spirit will interpret and help remind you of the Word entrusted to the saints. What God speaks to you, through the scripture, will be entrusted in your heart, and the Spirit will make a due diligence of reminder. Christians are to have a living God. The Bible is an idol to many Christians, but there is a clear interpretation, that only gets skewed the more you try to legalistically interpret it. Just like the Pharisees were doing.

With that said, Homosexuality is against nature, and is a corruption of the body of man, and that's explicitly taught by Paul, and Moses, and also Jesus Who affirmed Heterosexual Norms and also a Patriarchal structure. As the Lineage of Christ came through a Patriarchal line, not a Matriarchal, as did the line of Kings in succession.

Oh yes. I do all the time. Job did too. But, remember to honor Him and bless Him in all your prayers, and be very specific with your needs.

The thing about God is that He’s good, and He won’t give you something that will hurt you. Say you want to be a millionaire? Right? Well, God knows you’re liable to forget Him if you get all that money. So, you need to allow yourself to be shepherded and walk with Him always.

But, it’s not a sin to be exasperated with life. Jesus, Himself, sweat blood before the crucifixion. It’s okay to be overwhelmed by the burdens of life, just make sure you continue steadfast in your faith, and you don’t waiver in it. Rather, seek the LORD at your lowest moments, and triumph. Then, you’ll be like Joshua and Caleb, and ready to enter into the promised land. You’ll see Giants and many Phoenicians like Grasshoppers in the land, but you’ll be encouraged about the battle, not discouraged.

And also remember, sometimes the enemy has chariots of Iron. Like, that happens too. Sometimes the enemy’s so strong, that no earthly force can deliver you, and sometimes God wants you to be in a position of weakness, so the world has a chance to do what’s right. Will it? Well, it could. But, in terms of those victim souls—that’s what they call them—some like Jeremiah spent his whole life preaching, he saw the glory days of Josiah, and the heap of ruin that was Jehoiakim and Zedekiah’s reign. And at the end, when he finally could have peace—after being thrown in prison—the Jews forced him down to Egypt, where God explicitly told them not to go. It wasn’t Jeremiah’s fault he went to Egypt, they just wouldn’t take no for an answer. And then you have John the Baptist beheaded, and Jesus Himself crucified.

But, with evil’s earthly victory, God always prevails. With Jeremiah, he left a beautiful testament about how there will be an afterlife—as how would God prosper Jeremiah, unless it were in the next life? And also a rich testament, that John the Baptist paved the way for Christ and a new religion, and Jesus was crucified and crushed Satan’s head. And He raised in triumph.

That’s how God works. And there’s prosperous saints, too, but in an age where people are lawless, it’s more likely the righteous are going to be martyred and persecuted. And that’s something you have to be ready for in this world.

So, I know that’s a hard message. But, it’s the one you need right now. You’re not the only Godly servant who was exasperated. Many of the chosen by God lived horrible lives. Some of them didn’t. But, it’s Christ in the end, and a promised Land that you’re going to, so this life is simply a testing ground, to see where you’re at with your faith, and whether you’ll stay with God to the end.

And I believe there will be prosperity for God’s servants, even in this life. You’ll be fed the finest grains, is what God says, you’ll feed on Milk and Honey—you’ll have love in your life at all times, and in your soul—you’ll have blessing and flourishing in times of drought, and seasons of lack. God will provide for you what you need, in seasons of darkness, and even if the sun blackens over the land, you’ll have God as a light. As will I, if each of us perseveres with Him. It will hail in one place, and death and decay and destruction, but it won’t come near your tent. And that’s something God promises. That though it’s hard, you’ll be protected from the ruin that encompasses the world around you. And that’s why you need to stay yoked to God, otherwise Satan’s kingdom will have its reign over you, and that’s eternal torment.

No, it doesn't replace it. Grace supersedes the Law. We all are called to rectify the world, while under Law. Being unable to, we give over judgement to Christ.

Oholah and Oholibah? That's one of my favorites. The prophecies against Samaria and Jerusalem. Jerusalem, when it goes bad (The Catholic Church), it's going to do more corruptly than the Protestants. And be a reason for the captivity.

I sort of understand this... I don't know the controversy or your Ethos enough to know what you mean. On one hand you're on the cusp of a deep truth, while the second hand you dismiss the Bible and say God is ranting.

Hebrews also says there are two everlasting covenants. The first, if one is truly righteous, will fulfill--As Christ will fulfill judgement at the end of the age, and fulfilled mercy on His first coming--and Grace is when we acknowledge our sin, and let Christ work on our behalf. Otherwise, we'd have to take possession of the World and rectify judgement, which we cannot.

That's not Christians' argument at all (That we need God to know right from wrong). It became Christians' argument, but it's not. Objective morality is self evident. It can exist without God. It's the fact that people don't follow it. That's why there is God. Basically, the Torah is hell. It's what we deserve. I'm sure there's rape and infanticide and something like murder in hell. It's the punishment we deserve for breaking God's law, and dishonoring His commandments. Rather, it's Christ who establishes Grace, and a rest from working to change or fix the world. Rather, we just live according to the Law of Conscience, and are forgiven for our past.

God's objective morality does work. If you wanted to create Utopia, with no suffering, there's your handbook. And look how bloody awful it is? It's why Communism and all that other jazz won't work. The point of the Gospel is to acknowledge there are flaws in the world and yourself, but live the best you can. And to be forgiven of what you failed to do. Obviously, there's a place for war--and even rape, genocide and slavery--in the context of making a perfect world. It's like, the best world possible for humans, would require a tyrant to accomplish. That's why that Law is given into Christ's hands at the end of the age, and He'll punish the nations. Because He's the only one who could do it right, and know who deserves punishment, and who does not. Not us. As, you're right... pertaining to the Old Testament law, it is bloody and immoral, so to try and Crusade for a perfect world without any suffering, it would be fruitless in the hands of a human being. But if you wanted to rid the world of suffering, you'd have to follow the Laws in the Bible. Stone sinners, punish enemies, ravage their women, make slaves. Because that's the kind of force necessary to end the world-systems that enable suffering in the first place. To do so would make you something like Alexander the Great or Genghis Kahn. It's simply not good. That's why the Law is like that.

But we, as Christians, live by the laws of Grace. It's not our job to condemn the world. Merely warn it. It's not our job to punish the nations, but rather call them to repentance, so such force doesn't become necessary. That's why Christ said, "Do not think I came to bring peace. I did not come to bring peace, but rather the sword." That's hard to understand, I know. But, you can't imagine the depths of suffering sin causes, as it naturally reaps those things anyway. War, disease, famine, oppression and pestilence are the natural results of sin; which, in the end, people will be obstinate and hardened in their sins, and continue doing so, despite the suffering it causes. Which will cause Christ to come and judge the world for its sin; and that for the sake of the Elect, so they don't get stuck here, and so the world does not become like hell.

And I'm sure Satan knows this, too, and will seek to bind people to the Old Covenant Laws, and conquest with this in mind. That's the final straw, is when Satan takes the Law into his own hands, and exercises complete and total Lawlessness and absolute Law, in the same power vacuum. Which is why he's evil. Satan will say, "Confess 'me' as LORD, and I will absolve your sins, and you can do all your heart desires whenever you sin... however, if you do not, I will punish you according to the Torah." And he will at once tyrannize and abolish all law whatsoever in the same breath and stroke.

The Questions I ask



Why don't people see what's right from wrong? 

Why do people hurt one another? 

Why do people not believe in Jesus? 

Why are people so evil? 

Why are questions deemed more noble than the answer? 

Why is everyone a skeptic of what's plainly true? 

Why does everyone need to be taught by one another? 

Why does everyone have to reinvent a system of morals? 

Why do the most intelligent men find answers? 

Why do governments oppress people? 

Why is freedom of speech not a given in every country on Earth? 

Why is the Human Rights Charter ignored? 

Why is the Constitution ignored? 

Why did men in the seventeen hundreds know our rights were unalienable, when now that's even questioned? 

Why doesn't everyone say, "Give me liberty, or give me death?" 

Why is everyone a coward? 

Why is everyone morally bankrupt? 

If there were a righteous man within a hundred miles, let me find him. 

If there were a wise woman within a thousand miles, let me find her. 

The rights of the people are infringed, and I'd like to know why. 

Why are sales more important than content? 

Why is poetry considered "Untrue"? 

Why do people believe that words have no meaning? 

If this sentence were understood, doesn't that insinuate everything we question about meaning is a lie? 

Why do strings of meaning tap into the Logos of the universe: Why is Lucretius discovering Newtonian Physics, and Milton hypothesizing the Atomic Bomb? 

Why do poets prophesy? 

Why is Love the muse of the great ones? 

I can answer this, but it's still has even greater mysteries. 

Why is math more precious than language arts these days? 

If people read more poetry, wouldn't they have less time for idle minds? 

Why do Literary Critics snob at the greatest letters? 

Why does everyone have a different opinion, and why are they often wrong? 

Why can't people relate to the real world? 

Why is beauty not patronized in the arts? 

Why is truth so self evident, yet everyone pretends it not to be so? 

Why are we born knowing the way, and how do we stray from that path so quickly? 

Why are Tao and Logos so similar? 

Why are the sages always affirming what the Bible says? 

If the Roman Church burned all the books, why were they so careful to preserve them? 

If the Library of Alexandria wasn't burned, would we have any more noteworthy classics still being read today? Likely, I deem it not. 

Why do the stars tell the story of Jesus? 

Why is there so much proof that Jesus is the Christ, yet everyone pretends like it isn't there? 

More importantly, do people know the proof that Jesus is the Christ, and maybe they aren't pretending? 

Will God damn someone for ignorance? 

This I don't know. 

Why is racism a worst crime than theft these days? 

If Racism were a three, cussing would be a two, and homosexuality would be a ten; yet, we have it all backward. 

Why is adultery considered noble, when it obviously hurts so many people? 

Why is Homosexuality considered noble, when no society can function justly which accepts it? 

Those and many like it are the questions I ask. 

Questions for poets. 

Some Evidence for Jesus



Why would Abraham want to sacrifice Isaac, if not a picture that God would provide a sacrificial lamb?



Why would Leviticus condone human sacrifice in Leviticus 27:29, when such sacrifice is unlawful? Except in the context that it meant One Devoted to God? That Being Emmanuel?



Why would Nehemiah tell the people to eat fat? From what I understand that's unlawful. Unless, it was to establish that the Jews were in waiting for a New Covenant?



Why would Abraham be told, "Your Seed shall bless all nations?" Who is that Seed? Jacob didn't bless all nations. Rather, it seems quite clear that by Jacob, all the nations of the world were condemned to die.



Why wouldn't "Almah" or "Maid" mean "Virgin"? Don't some words have two meanings? And if they do, wouldn't it make sense that a Virgin give birth to the promised Heir, whose coming would destroy Assyria? Rather than a harlot? I've heard it said that the woman was a harlot, but then that's only if you don't interpret the word "Almah" as "Virgin".





What is the "Newly Created Thing" referred to twice in Isaiah? Why does it tell you to forget the old?



Whose Soul is to be made an offering for our sins? 



Who was "pierced for our transgressions?"



Why must we kiss the Pure, the One Begotten by God? My Bible says "Son", but you translate "Bar" as "Pure". So, obviously it makes more sense that the word be translated as "Son". Because a "Son" is Begotten.



Why are there two everlasting covenants? Why did Jeremiah proclaim a new covenant?



Why did Ezekiel say "Arise" to dry bones? If there is not a resurrection?



Why did Zechariah name Jesus as the Messiah twice? As, Uzziah tried to reign as both priest and king, and was stricken with Leprosy. Why is "Joshua" in this instance, allowed to reign as both priest and king?



Why did Job want a mediator between him and God?

Why did Xerxes receive a dream that sounds like God's voice in Herodotus?



Why did the conquering of the Aztecs look exactly like the Prophetic campaign of Joshua? Why did all the same miracles occur? Five hundred Conquistadors would defeat armies upward of five to one hundred thousand without any aid. Plagues descended which did not touch the Conquistadors or most of their armies?



If the Aztec used inferior weapons, and that's why they were severely beaten, why did La Triste Noche happen? 



Why, in 1561 in Nuremberg, did two crosses do battle over the eye of the sun, and St. Paul's Cathedral was struck with lightning?



Why is there a picture of the Dragon from Revelation on a Hindu Temple, and why does it look like an alien?

Why is Christ's law in Matthew 5 - 8 so self evident, if He is not God Come in the Flesh?



Why is Isaiah 53 in the Dead Sea Scrolls? 



Why doesn't the Nebuchadnezzar Chronicles prove Judah was a principality prior to Babylonian Captivity? 



Why does the Tel Dan Stele give verbatim the most obscure Biblical detail, and it gets it right? 



How does a feather evolve over even a trillion years?



Can a frog turn into a toad, unless God made it so?



Why did the the Lipit Ishtar get established right where the Biblical Genealogies date Abraham?

  

Why did Hebrews worship God's Son before Christ?



Why were El and El's Son worshiped in Mesopotamia at the time of Hammurabi's Code?



Why does Moses line up with the cult of Aten in the Biblical Genealogies?



If God were real, why wouldn't He reveal Himself?



Why are there miraculous events described in Roman and Greek Historians which directly correspond to places where God would work?

Why does every civilization, on every continent, have a mythology about a global flood?'



If all things are vibrations, and Word is a vibration of air, and Jesus is the Word Who holds all things together,---what, exactly, can science do except prove that Jesus is the Word?



Why would aliens demand human sacrifice, if they were not demons instead?



Who would ultimately hold mankind responsible for all the suffering it created, if God did not exist?



How could a man ever be forgiven without Christ? If sin must be punished, how else could a man escape Judgment unless that punishment were placed on Emmanuel?





Will you make the decision to accept Jesus as your personal Lord and savior, and will you repent of ALL sin.
