To Olliefranz,
We have what Paul is saying written down in Romans 1. It is quite clear that men lusting after men instead of women and committing indecent acts with other men is homosexual acts not heterosexual acts. It is also quite clear that me committing such error is wickedness. This is what the passage says.
Now, there is nothing wrong with this post, where you simply state your interpretation of the verse and it can be compared with my interpretation.
But the post before it is nothing but a personal attack on my honesty -- yet again.
There are different ways that post can be "explained" so that it is not a troll pure and simple, so I will not call it that. But any possible explanation still leaves it in violation of one or more of the following site rules and DoH Guidelines:
From CF Rules/TOS:
Flaming, baiting, trolling, or feeding trolls is not allowed. This also applies to groups. In other words, play nice, don't hurt others, nor call them names.
Defamation is not allowed.
Harassment of another member is not allowed.
From Theology Guidelines:
4: Provide Supporting Statements: Posters in Theology are expected to treat one another with courtesy and respect at all times, ESPECIALLY if you disagree with each other. When you disagree with someone's position, you should post evidence and supporting statements for your position. This policy, sometimes referred to as "X means Y because of Z", must be followed especially when posting claims that are widely considered to be controversial.
5. Respect Differing Points of Reference: It is expected that people who post in Theology will respect people of faith, including those for whom faith and logic are not contradictions, but complements to one another. To some Christians, arguments from the Bible, from doctrine, and from tradition, are just as valid (and at times more valid) than arguments from logic, reason, science, or history. Whether you are arguing from faith or from logic or some combination thereof, you should respect the other person's point of reference.
6. Accusations of non-Christian doctrine: Stating that another member's church is not Christian is not allowed. However, stating a teaching or belief of another church is not Christian because of X, Y, and Z, is allowed.
7: "Tread Carefully" Topics: Theology posters are expected to understand that accusations of heresy, false doctrine, idolatry, anti-Christ, cult, non-Christian beliefs, antisemitism, etc., are very emotionally laden. They are not conducive to clear discussion. While they are not forbidden in the context of a discussion (with evidence, examples, and/or support), they are discouraged by themselves, as terms of insult. This rule may be referred to as the "tread carefully" rule.
Note especially DoH Guidelines 6 and 7. I have told you that a reasoned argument would be listened to.
However you simply continue to call me a liar based on nothing more than that I happen not to bow down before your proclamation that God says X and that means Y with no explanation why it should mean Y. I agree that Paul, inspired by the Holy Spirit says X. That is why your statement is calling me a liar when you claim that I do not agree to that statement. But I do not agree that it must absolutely and always mean Y. Especially if Paul himself says it means Z
