Christians aren't USING the Bible to support a specific view - sm

Posted: Jun 7th, 2018 - 3:06 pm In Reply to: I've never been able to reconcile how some - Christians use the Bible

They are citing the truth it contains. The Word of God clearly says that homosexual activity is a sin. It also says sex outside of marriage is sin. Look how our culture has condoned that in the past 100 years as well.

I think it's harder to reconcile how we as sinful human beings have used our own limited brains and reasoning to decide what is "right" and "wrong" when our omniscient Creator has already given us that information.
