    Only if Buttigieg sees homosexuality as sin and to be resisted. He clearly does not.

      The issue is that Buttigieg is portrayed as a "Practicing Christian" in spite of the fact that he totally ignores (not interprets) scripture that condemns his lifestyle.
      This began with you claiming that Mayor Pete and others just ignore those parts of the bible they don't agree with. I simply showed how you do the same. God commanded that human beings stone and burn to death other human beings. That is inhumane in the first place, never mind the actions of a loving god. You remained silent, or in other words ignored that part of the bible you didn't agree with. Others admitted to it but made excuses for it such as it was a different time and culture as if that would have anything at all to do with a Gods moral nature. Perhaps you think it a moral good and that we should still stone people to death for picking up sticks on the Sabbath!

        So, now you're a mind reader, too? You can't seem to keep your arguments straight --- YOU claimed the had a different interpretation of the scriptures, yet you keep failing to prove that, Rev Tassman. Have you no shame or decency?
        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

          Wrong - it began with Reverend Tassman claiming Butigieg had a different interpretation.

            There is more than enough evidence to show the probability of these being maximum penalties, not mandatory penalties. And that is even before the variations introduced with the New Covenant are considered. The law is inextricably a component of the covenant - once the Old Covenant became old, and the New Covenant was instituted, the old laws don't apply. Under the new covenant, the maximum penalty that can be imposed is excommunication - aka shunning, banishment, exile.
            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.

              The point remains the same. The Christian god commanded the inhumane, immoral, stoning and burning to death of human beings which christians tend to ignore. The only reason for the New Covenant is because human beings realized the Old Covenant to be inhumane.

                What you're doing is demonstrating your profound ignorance of the Bible.

                A) The Old Covenant (and associated laws) was between God and the Jews
                2) I am not a Jew
                3) The NEW Covenant is in place, and we are no longer "under the law"
                D) We are called CHRIST-ians because we are CHRIST followers, not MOSES AND THE LAW followers

                Your attempt to derail the thread is duly noted.

                  Perhaps you'd like to assist Reverend Tassman in producing the proof that Buttigieg has EVER considered the New Testament (Christian) condemnation of homosexuality and interpreted it "in such a way that homosexuality is OK with a loving God."

                  The argument is so stupid that Reverend Tassman is doing the Kakuki Boogie trying to hide from it:

                    The points that remain the same in this issue are two.

                    Humans don't know what alternatives were available, and cannot predict with any accuracy the courses that history might follow when this or that is or is not done. When the fact that God is not WILLING that any should die is considered, his commands that some (or even a huge number) die would indicate a strong impetus.

                      Yeah, he clearly has decided to do "what was right in his own eyes."


                      And guess what. Regardless of what he sees the adulterer, fornicator or homosexual who is not fighting temptation is indeed sinning.

                        Which would demonstrate that he ignores the New Testament condemnation of homosexuality, contrary to your oft cited claim that he "interprets" those scriptures differently.

                          Wrong. With me it began with you saying Butigieg ignored those parts of the bible he didn't agree with. My reply was that, so do you. Or do you believe it moral to stone human beings to death for picking up sticks on the Sabbath. Jesus apparently disagreed with it, and his reasoning had nothing to do with the times, the place, or the culture. Problem is that Jesus and YHWH are said to be one and the same god.

                            There is more than enough evidence that they were the commands from god. Whether the old laws apply any longer doesn't change the fact that stoning and burning human beings to death is immoral and abhorent at any time and in any culture. That should inform you that the immoral, abhorent laws, didn't come from who you believe to be a loving god.

                                I had to correct the little Reverend and point out that he had no evidence whatsoever that Buttigieg interpreted the scriptures in any manner whatsoever, and pointed out that he simply ignored them to justify his life of sin. He's been trying to do a kabuki dance away from that ever since.

                                My reply was that, so do you.
                                A) You're wrong, and
                                2) you're about to double down on your profound ignorance of theology.

                                You seem incapable of understanding that God had a Covenant for the Jews (the OLD TESTAMENT) and Jesus instituted the New Covenant - NEW TESTAMENT - with his blood -

                                Scripture Verse: Mark14

                                22 "And as they were eating, he took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to them, and said, “Take; this is my body.” 23 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank of it. 24 And he said to them, “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.

                                Jimmy, when it comes to the Bible, you're even dumber than you are about the legal system. It's astonishing!
