I don't even know you but the above remark speaks volumes about you. Are you suggesting people strive to be more like you?
Asaph said:I am then a worse sinner because I used the verbotten word "queer"?
Yet day to day those that condemn me themselves lie in abject opposition to truth?
A queer is queer, the Word of God is not silent about that.
How am I wrong?
Quite obviously I'm either thick or just too tired. What, exactly, is your point? Plain English please as the hour is late.

Does an African-American using the N word to refer to his brother or sister give you the right to use it too?bibleberean said:The Homosexual chant, "We are here we are queer get used to it".
There is a television show called "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy".
There is a lesbian motorcycle club called "Dykes on Bikes".
No one seems to be upset about this. Yet if anyone uses the words "queer or dyke" to describe person practicing same sex perversion they are ostracized.
Why is that? :smt017

Also, there is context and emotion to be seen here. You are not saying these terms in the same spirit that they use them. You use them condemningly and that is not the same.

I can see why some (and by no means NOT ALL) homosexual people would take some derogatory terms that have been leveled at them by insensitive and self-righteous others over the years and blatantly use these derogatory terms as an act of defiance. And this is what we see going on here ...plainly and simply. They are basically saying ..."Okay BB, YOU and others call us filthy perverts so filthy perverts is therefore what we will be." They may then make placards to carry around (or come up with a chant) saying, "We are filthy perverts so get used to it." This is simple psychology.
And, there may well be any number of homosexual people who have become so conditioned or/and desensitized by the consistent and derogatory remarks of others that they would not be offended any more by the terms you and others level at them, BB. There are other homosexual people, however, who WOULD be deeply offended by those terms because they are sensitive and proud human beings. You, BB, appear to be oblivious to the fact that homosexual people are CAPABLE of being proud and sensitive human beings.
You, BB, and others paint all homosexual people with the same broad brush in your ignorance of the human condition. Heterosexual people come in all shapes, sizes, viewpoints, perceptions, mindsets, etc. And so too do homosexual people. But you, BB, think in terms of pigeon-holing people ...you see the world in black and white, just like your avatar ... you desire the 'cookie Christian' - someone who thinks and feels the way you do, someone from the same mold ...you show extreme discomfort whenever someone may see God differently than you do ...God is either your way or no way at all.
Is it possible, BB, for you to put your weapon (Bible) down for a moment and answer this question ...honestly? The question is: Why do YOU - not God - hate homosexuality so?

We could also remove the word Judgmental and replace it with a thousand others but for some reason people can only think of homosexuals. I guess it makes their own sins seem trivial to them. I wonder if God sees it that way? Okay, I lied (insert liar in the text) and don't wonder about this at all. I know that God is offended by judgmentalism.

God is not offended by calling a sin a sin.
Calling homosexuality sin is not being judgemental.
A person has to be "judgemental" by their own definition to state that calling homosexuality perversion is a sin.
How judgemental... :roll:

Amen. Personally, I thought I had given it a well balance, rightly divided, biblical treatment devoid of personal judgementalizim and full of the Love God has for sinners of any type. Oh well, I guess not.

I thought your post was excellent. The issue isn't that we pick on homosexuality but that the opposition wants to silence us in to keeping quiet.
Not happening. 8-)
That's because you're both equating the homosexual predisposition with sin. Your knowledge about the human condition is limited to one book that does NOT have all the answers. A homosexual orientation is no more a sin than is a heterosexual orientation. Both types of people, however, are capable of sinning. See, I can be just as much the expert as you guys. Feel free to prove me wrong if you feel you can.
Not only that, since you are both sinners yourselves (the Bible tells me that no one is righteous), neither one of you can afford to point the finger at anyone else. But ...as long as you're both so bent on reforming sinners, you might be better off leaving this topic alone and concentrating more as to how you can eliminate sin from your own lives. It can't do any harm, can it? Just a thought.
