Bachelor Dynasty

[brimic]

*YAWN*
Just another group of people laying down a 'victim card.'
People need to put on their big boy pants and quit being such whiny bitches.

I don't understand.  What's hypocritical about disagreeing with the gay lifestyle?

Apologizing for it afterwards, and trying to claim it was not really a condemnation, but just a poor choice of words due to using a second language.

Nah that is backpeddling not hypocrisy. 

_Hypocrisy_ is when the network weenies tell him the number two target demographic of the show, he loses his lunch, and then issues his make nice statement.

It is the now fashionable practice of equating promiscuous heterosexual and homosexual sex.  Oddly enough there is some validity under the concept of sin for this but those who do the equating are more likely to deny the concept of sin.   And they are essentially clueless as to the complexity of the sin model.

In essence it is sloppy and lazy thinking on the part of the accusers of hypocrisy.

In this case the bachelor fellow is presumably heterosexually promiscuous. 

I do think there is a bit of a language barrier as he was likely trying to find the english equivalent for the spanish maricon or other colloquial term used by spanish speakers.  Pervert is close but does not fully convey the distaste most latins have for homosexuals and homosexuality.

Obviously, I disagree. Sexual immorality of many types is very typically condemned in NT scripture in running lists. It is very rare for homosexuality to be singled out. It is the NT scripture that equates many/most kinds of sins with the same expectation of judgement.

But it was pretty well covered in the OT, so like several other other points of the law, it only needed a "Bacon is ok now, sodomy is still bad."

No. Bacon is still bad. You christians must stop eating the sin.


  and we heathens can stop worrying about the bacon supply shortage. MuWaHahahahaha!

Sure, and I am not trying to say anything changed about that. It was a capital crime then, and it was reiterated as a crime against God in the NT. But so was adultery and lying in court. And the new NT passages that reiterate it continued to list it in the same way...

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. Such were some of you...

I Cor 6

Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Gal 5

"immorality" is a typical alternate translation of "porniea"(fornication, sexual immorality), which is a very broad term for any kind of sex outside of appropriate marriage (hetero, homo, beast, whatver). Yet in this particular list, homosexual is not listed.

For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.

And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.

Rom 1

But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

Rev 21

(again, immoral person is referring to "fornication")

But we know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully, realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching

I Tim 1


But notice how drunkness and swindling and cowardice is all considered in the same kinds of context. Which get back to my point, it is very rare for homosexuality to be called out as specially egregious, no more so than a lot of other common practices in human culture.

Sounds to me like if one is a "righteous person" the law doesn't apply to them.  This could come in handy . . .

 

What?  Like I'm the only one that reads religious text with an eye for loopholes!

No you're not the only one. The problem is that reading the law for an eye for loopholes while thinking that keeping the exact letter of the law is all that is needed is called "legalism" and is resoundly condemned. In the NT, it was Jesus' pet peeve.

for example...

“Why do you yourselves transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother,’ and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother is to be put to death.’ But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, “Whatever I have that would help you has been given to God,” he is not to honor his father or his mother.’ And by this you invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition. You hypocrites, rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you:

‘This people honors Me with their lips,
But their heart is far away from Me.
‘But in vain do they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.’”

Frequency doesn't make an act acceptable.  If we all set out to murder each other, will the Lord suddenly grab a bottle of heavenly white-out and rewrite His commandments?

One might also note that it tends to be lumped in with some form of "unloving" or perpetrators of strife and enmity.  Since Christ Himself boiled it down to His two simpler rules, I'd tend to take anything found in close proximity to violating those as pretty serious.
