Thinking we're right doesn't make us right, no matter how intently we think it. And because this is ALWAYS so, my self-assumed righteousness does not EVER extend beyond me. And if I try to force it into the reality of others, I become an agent not only of the abuse of others, but an agent in contention with God, because I am appointing myself God's agency.
Faith is not a process of lying to ourselves until we believe it, by pretending that we cannot be wrong. Because we can, and we very often are. To presume that we aren't would be to adopt a lie as the truth. And to tell others that we aren't is to lie to them. And faith is not the dishonest pretense of our own righteousness.

So what? Who cares?
Your atheism leaves you with no grounds for claiming any logic or reason at all. Your world view is that everything comes from random chance. Random chance does not lead to rational thought.
America has degenerated to the point that leftists are now teaching school kids in elementary grades how to give and receive homosexual pleasures, and pornographic images are also used by the 'teacher.' That is perverted, is abusive to children, and destructive to civilization.
When I was a school kid who transgressed the rules was spanked and school violence was rare. Modern schools lack proper discipline and violence is out of control.
Softening on crime and eliminating the death penalty are major factors underlying the skyrocketing increase of violent crimes in America.
Homosexuality is sick, unhealthy, immoral, unnatural, perverted, and destructive to societies.
No, it's not obvious, and introducing children to sexual behavior before they are even halfway to puberty is child abuse.
The only discussion of sex that a parents should teach their children, when they reach the age of puberty, is that they should be abstinent from it until they marry.
That is the only age-appropriate information they should hear.
False.
False.
Other forms, such as?
How many of those were simply beaten out of anger, rather than spanked by a parent was calm, but stern?
It makes a difference.
False.
So what?
False.
Wrong.
To begin with, Heather should have a mommy and a daddy. Not two mommies, not two daddies, no more and no less than one mother and one father.
False.
Because admitting they were abused would be embarrassing.
Is is possible for there to be a homosexual pedophile?
Gross!
Very doubtful. Besides a one in a million incident with a crackpot teacher, there is no such content being delivered at that age. Get real.
Spurious correlation.
The death penalty is not a deterrant for crimes borne of impulsivity and hopelessness.
What Nine percent of the population does with there personal lives can not really have a giant impact.
So instead of getting mad and ending a conversation because I insult you, why don't you forgive instead you stupid humanoid?
You are wrong, likely due to lack of information and a limited awareness of facts.
The death penalty is a deterrent to violence.
The ignorant and deluded do not understand why morality is key to the survival of good societies. Leftist atheist communist fascists know the effect immorality has on a nation, which is why they promote immorality to weaken and destroy America.

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio and TV. [Note: This is the Gramscian agenda of the "long march through the institutions" spelled out explicitly: gradual takeover of the "means of communication" and then using those vehicles to debauch the culture and weaken the will of the individual to resist.]
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural and healthy." [Note: Today those few who still have the courage to advocate public morality are denounced and viciously attacked. Most Americans are entirely unwitting regarding the motives behind this agenda.]

I do forgive. And anyway, I'm not insulted. The attempts around here are weak and of no consequence. So I disengage when I can see that my antagonist can't meaningfully interact any further.

Whose doing that? Would it be reasonable to tell an eight year old child: as they get older usually boys like to kiss girls, girls like to kiss boys, less often some boys like to kiss boys, some girls like to kiss girls, some like to kiss both. People have different ideas about what is okay, but in the school setting, we treat everyone with respect ?
How well does that work?
Reinforcement, token economy, response cost, time-out, calculated ignoring, hand over hand techniques, etc.
True, the level of abuse made a difference. However, spanking alone still had a negative impact.
In anonymous questionnaires? And, how do you know the truth of the matter?
Yeah. Your point?
That's insulting.

Only if the insults in question were meant to be strong and effective.
Around here, it seems they are almost always meant to deflect the conversation when one can't effectively respond to it, and to try and re-establish one's delusions of dominance and superiority.

I did see it, but by the grace of God the context shows exactly what sort of perfection he had yet to attain.
Initially, the resurrection from the dead, and its resulting new vessel's perfection.
Paul isn't referring to sinfulness in Phil 3.
No, I am not...but I am in Christ, and as there is no sin in Christ, sinners are not in Christ either.
We are obviously on different tracks.
My old man, the sinners, was crucified with Christ and buried by water baptism. (Rom 6:3-7)
I now walk in newness of life, in Christ, in whom is no sin.
Yep, a little twisting of what God says caused Eve to disobey at the beginning, and it continues today.
But it is the twisting that is necessary.
Agreed.
Nearly every false doctrine ever conceived is an accommodation for ongoing sinning.
It is the end of the unrighteous zealot's spiel.
Thanks be to God that there are righteous zealots too.
Their motive is as far from unrighteousness as Jesus' was.
The "point" that God doesn't speak to people anymore.
I can assure you that He does.
He does.
Nope, it is all truly of God.
Thanks be to God we don't live under the Mosaic Law.
OT punishments by men are now totally in the hands of God.
In fact, I don't even know if the unbelieving Jews still hold those customs, even though they are still trying to be justified by the Law.
Christians can and should walk in newness of life, which is why we are told to walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh.
Romans 6:4
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
The topic is "Religious Zealotry"
The FACT is that the Religious Zealotry of Marxism and the Left is the true danger to civilization, more so right now than the Muslim Jihadists.
Christians are not even on the chart.

Why change the tense?
I find it fascinating when people refuse to give a straight answer to questions that answer themselves.
Of course God was not wrong when He said that those who commit homosexual acts are to be put to death.
The real question is why do you say otherwise?
I don't believe God has commanded you to put homosexuals to death.
There is truly no compelling evidence that God or gods even exist. Syllogisms don't cut it. The Bible is suspect as a source- period. Yet- you act like you have direct knowledge and endorse the view that people who commit non-violent transgressions should die. You are simply a hateful person. There is no excuse for you as you are not a doltish simpleton like many who share your interpretation.
