Ecclesasties 3:18-21

>I said in mine heart concerneing the esate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.

>For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.

>All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.

>Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the best that goeth downaward to the earth?

Realising God says men are beasts/animals and that soul, spirit, and body are three seperate things in 1 thessalonians 5:23 really changed my outlook on the Bible and the world.

>Ecclesiastes

That book changed the way I saw everything.

Song of Songs and Psalms showed me beauty.

>What verses that you're able to recall, have impacted your outlook on the world the most?

Romans 1:26-31

>For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

>And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

>And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

>Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

>Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

>Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

Knowing that all homosexuals really do hate God and that we will never have to see them again in the eternal kingdom. And that they are all reprobate predators, and subsequently realizing who actually takes this word of God seriously and who only pretends to believe it.

Also extremely striking is the verses that assure us that we will never be taken by certain kinds of temptations, because God protects his children from those kinds of temptations.

>There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

>The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

>And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.

>Also extremely striking is the verses that assure us that we will never be taken by certain kinds of temptations, because God protects his children from those kinds of temptations.

But the verses you just quoted only say that you will never be stricken by temptation "above that ye are able". Whether you will suffer homosexual temptations is up for God to decide.

>Whether you will suffer homosexual temptations is up for God to decide.

Exactly. It's not a mere accident they became like that, God gave them up unto vile affections. Which is a temptation "not common to man." It was all in His control what to do with them, and He "gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness," etc.

lolberg see James 1:13-14

>Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

>But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

By lust do you sin? See Romans 7:7

>What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

By covetousness then? See James 1:15

>Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

I just am persuaded to laugh at you for, funnily enough, starting with a non-argument.

You realize that if even one heterosexual man had homosexual thoughts, your theory would be destroyed? What even is liberal about thinking that some people also have to resist homosexual thoughts?

>Using NIV

Garbage

>angels

should be "sons of God", that may or may not (most likely not) mean Angels

While I dont support KJV-onlyism, I can quite understand why baptists are sperging so much about KJV only policy.

>I said in mine heart

now go back to kikeudaism, degenerade sadducee

The kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

What was the point of this post?

I am aware other translations exist and merely posted the easiest to understand for the thread starter

If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to depart into hell.

I still believe he meant these verses 100% literally.

That pic is so wholesome

Then the kings of the earth and the great men and the commanders and the rich and the strong and every slave and free man hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains; and they said to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the presence of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb;
