Strange thing that. Jesus addressed matters where there was error or deficiency in understanding by conventional attitudes ... but he never mentioned homosexuality.Last edited by tabibito; 05-12-2019, 11:21 PM.1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.

Yes, your typical anti-Christian rant. That has NOTHING to do with what Buttigieg is doing, because he's not trying to interpret scripture at all - he's just flat out ignoring it. Just like you're totally ignoring Mohler's critique of Buttigieg's "Christianity".
And, as your hero Mohler pointed out, that's pretty much asinine.
The argument is that Christians throughout history have interpreted scripture so as to conform to the social mores of the of the day. And reinterpret it as societal values change. E.g many Southern US Baptists justified slavery with quotes from scripture until the practice of slavery became socially intolerable. So, in 1995, they
Here's what's happening -- Buttigieg is a homosexual, so you will do or say absolutely anything to defend him, however irrational or nutty.

Of course, a Baptist theologian would say that but this is not the argument.
The argument is that Christians throughout history have interpreted scripture so as to conform to the social mores of the of the day. And reinterpret it as societal values change. E.g many Southern US Baptists justified slavery with quotes from scripture until the practice of slavery became socially intolerable. So, in 1995, they “unwaveringly denounced racism, in all its forms, as deplorable sin”.
You say "many Southern US Baptists", (that's not how one would reference "the Southern Baptists") then you specifically refer to the official Resolution made by the Southern Baptists at our annual meeting.
I’m neither defending nor condemning him, merely making the case that he’s just as entitled to his opinion as a Christian as you and Mohler are.
Social values are changing re homosexuality and, given biblical history, Christians will revise biblical interpretation to accommodate it…just as they did re the abolition of slavery, apartheid in South Africa, and the role of women etc.
It's not about Buttigieg's "interpretation" of the Bible - its about his total DISREGARD for it. All your dishonest little diversions are beside the point.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
