That Kobojunkie character is a danger to this section. She specialises in teaching heresy and blasphemy. Best treatment for her is to ignore. She thrives on attention which is her oxygen. By all means avoid her. She is an attention junkie.

I have interacted with that guy here before. After which I decided not interact with him/her again because of the reasons you mentioned.
He/she teaches a lot heresies here. I mean, a lot!

She seems not to understand basic Christian theology.

She can also be an agent from the dark side. It's a possibility. The things she says here are scary.

He/She is definitely an agent of darkness and I am sure she is on Nairaland to pull souls into damnation with her heresies.

Reason why I ignore her always. She's a lost cause.

Debater:
The Bible contains a few passages that are commonly interpreted as condemning homosexuality, so in my reading, I marked these down:

Leviticus 18:22: "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination." This verse is part of the Levitical law code, which provides instructions to the ancient Israelites. It is often cited as evidence of a prohibition against same-sex relations.

Leviticus 20:13: "If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them." This verse is another one from the Levitical law code that emphasises a severe punishment for same-sex sexual activity.

Romans 1:26-27: "For this reason, God gave them up to dishonourable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature, and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error." This passage is from the New Testament epistle of Paul to the Romans. It is often interpreted as a condemnation of same-sex sexual activity.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10: "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." This passage lists various behaviors that the author, Paul, considers sinful, including what is often translated as "men who practice homosexuality."

Genesis 19:4-11: This passage tells the story of the city of Sodom, where the men of the city sought to engage in sexual relations with two angels who appeared as men. While the focus of this story is on the sin of attempted rape and the lack of hospitality, we Christians also interpret it as a condemnation of same-sex sexual activity.

1 Timothy 1:10: This verse is part of a list of vices and sins, and it includes "men who practice homosexuality" among those who are considered contrary to sound doctrine.

Jude 1:7: This verse refers to the city of Sodom and Gomorrah, stating that they "indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire" and serve as an example of undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.

THE VIEWS OF DIFFERENT CHURCHES

Different Christian churches and their leaders hold diverse views on homosexuality, although individual believers within each denomination may hold diverse opinions:

Roman Catholic Church: The Catholic Church teaches that homosexual acts are considered sinful, but it emphasises the dignity and worth of every person, including those with same-sex attractions. The Church calls for individuals with same-sex attractions to live a chaste life and seeks to provide pastoral care and support, and also encourages society to pray for them and not condemn them, but their actions.

Eastern Orthodox Church: Similar to Catholicism, the Orthodox Church teaches that homosexual acts are sinful. It emphasizes the importance of marriage between a man and a woman and promotes the practice of chastity outside of marriage.

Anglican/Episcopal Church: The Anglican Communion (including the Episcopal Church in the United States) has experienced internal divisions over the issue of homosexuality. Some dioceses and bishops affirm the full inclusion of LGBTQ+ individuals, allowing same-sex marriages and ordination of openly gay clergy. Others maintain more conservative positions and do not permit same-sex unions or the ordination of openly gay clergy.

Protestant Denominations: Views on homosexuality vary widely among Protestant denominations and individual churches. Some mainline Protestant churches, such as the United Church of Christ, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), and the Presbyterian Church (USA), have embraced more inclusive positions, allowing for same-sex marriage and ordination of LGBTQ+ clergy. Other denominations, such as the Southern Baptist Convention and many conservative evangelical churches, maintain more traditional positions, considering homosexual acts as sinful.

Other Denominations and Independent Churches: There are numerous other Christian denominations and independent churches with a range of views on homosexuality. Some have embraced LGBTQ+ inclusion and affirming theology, while others maintain more conservative positions.

In conclusion my fellow Nairalanders, according to my religious beliefs as a Christian, homosexuality is sinful. The Bible contains verses like Leviticus 18:22 and Romans 1:26-27 that are often interpreted as condemning same-sex relationships. I believe in upholding traditional values and view heterosexual/straight/opposite-sex relationships as the only morally acceptable form of intimacy.

Thank you and Happy Sunday. 🙏❤️

Everybody knows homosexuality is a bad thing and a sin b4 God almighty, only the blinded and possessed fellows of the devil sees it as the right thing.

It is all deliberate.
She is here to mislead a lot of weak Christians on the forum. She is worst than the atheists. At least with the atheists you know where they stand on religion but with Kobojunkie you don't even know what she stands for. Always twisting the gospel and preaching heresy . Avoid her at all cost except you are a very strong and firm footed Christian.
Just look at how she has made this thread about herself.

I think every one views every topic differently including scriptures.... kobojunkie just has a weird way of interpreting scriptures.... to me, i just feel that he doesnt consider the entire context which makes his interpretation have an isolated meaning.....

Nothing like that!
Haven't u read that his kin to that

1..old or new standard...adultery is adultery its wrong to desire someone's wife and then go ahead to sleep with her......the new standard says dont even think about doing it let alone actually doing it.
2.the standards of jesus
3. Jesus is not teaching old law...he's emphasizing on the demands of holiness under the new covenant...
4. U have not read where jesus said ur righteousness must exceed that of the pharisee??.......i am afraid i cant help u any further on this

Without going much further, your stance remains confusing given that you also claim a person is not judged guilty both at point pf lusting and also , if he should decide to put a actions to his thoughts, at point of acting on said thoughts, meaning such a one is judged guilty of sin twice. However. I see need to argue it with you since You have the freedom to believe as you do. So, I will chose to let you continue as you will while I stick to accepting as absolute what is written. Jesus Christ also gave other definitions for adultery in addition to that one in Matthew 5 vs 27 - 28 leading me to believe He was simply not repackaging the Old but giving a different set of rules from the Old in this.

As for your ideas of higher holiness and higher righteousness, I see you compare it instead to that of the Pharisees who were never approved holy or righteous by God in His Old Law, to begin. If that is the way you define it, then OK.

Nice article Op.
It is also written in Zechariah 8:5 And the streets of the city shall be full of BOYS and GIRLS playing in the streets thereof.

Not boys and boys or girls and girls... homosexuality is an abomination and a breach in the spirit of man.

Oracleee:
Let's be sincere but all this are laws in the old testament and Christianity believes the blood of Jesus as washed it all away. Some pastors don't even believe so much in old testament

They are not laws of the Old Testament. The details of the New Law given by Jesus Christ differs entirely from the Old Law. Where the Old Law penalized one when one acts, the new Law penalizes one when one thinks theses things in the mind. In Jeremiah 17, we read that God sees into the heart of man to know his intentions. For this reason in in Matthew 15 vs 10 - 20 and Mark 7 vs 13 - 23 Jesus Christ explained that the bad things we do come from the bad things stored up in our hearts. This explains why rather than judge a person's actions in all, Jesus Christ's laws rather judge a person's intentions.

■ Christ is the living word of God the manifestation of the word in flesh yet spirit.
Adultery is having sex with a married woman who is not your wife, strict Biblical definition.

So Jesus Christ's redefining of the Word in His Law are invalid, is what you are saying then?

■ I am still studying the Bible and I know that it is a living spring of water , that means it flows from one point to another(time difference ) ' oh yes there is time variations to information. that is it's kept been validated and reaffirm and carried by prophets of the law from one chapter to another, which ever story there was to tell the convent given Moses was behind it (the Testament , ordinances, law convants ) on till when Jesus Christ died on the cross of Calvary that the veils rented so that every one can have acess to it, which is God to you and I . Now we all have the Bible in our rooms but then it was was 1st given to Moses.
Take it this way water is water anywhere at what ever time in what ever place, just the concentration of its contents and substances it contains that makes it look and taste differently.
■ Still learning but the pastor @op is telling better , I suggest you listen to him and drop this 5G contex and understanding of God.
God is thesame yesterday , today and forevermore . Besides heaven and shall pass away but the word of God will rem[/b]ain

1. There are actually two different [b]Springs of living water depicted in the pages of Scripture but first you must understand what the a Spring of Living water is. It is reference to source of Eternal Life. The Old Law of Moses was one source of Living water and Jesus Christ is the other source or fountain of Living waters which we are born of when we choose to become born of water.

2. I see you are already into giving ng your life to religion as well rather than the truth of God. You are free to do as you please.

U are always weird and deceptive in ur response...
Show me where i said a person is not judge guilty both at point of lusting and if he should decide to put a actions to his thought?

U accused me earlier if double judgement on an adulterous person....so can i also say the person is not guilty both at point of lusting and if he should decide to put a actions to his thought...

I specifically told u its not two differenr judgement...
U lust today its a adultery..u pull ur pant tommorw ..its still adultery...its no different from pulling ur pants today..and also pulling it again tomorrw

...i dont know where double judgement came from into this dialogue..what do u even mean by double judgement?? Its the same adultery

I accused you? Rather, I simply pointed out that if a person was judged both at point of lusting and at point of acting, then one is judged twice for the same. Whereas what Jesus Christ instead said is that one is judged once and that once happens at the moment the person lusts inside of his heart after another....this regardless of whether the lusting is followed up with sexual action or not.

Like I said, you are free to continue as you believe. While I continue to absolutely accept what is written as is written.

What ever your pick of the gospel wishes to lie in Christ is ur choose but don't gorse any into believing were u limit your understanding to.
The most important thing is if your born again and have the evidence of the Holy Spirit accompanied .
The Holy Spirit will then help your understanding but limiting urself to your carnality to what u want to believe doesn't do you any good .

Wrong! Religion does not get you anywhere near Jesus Christ as He explained in Matthew 15 vs 1 - 10 & Mark 7 vs 1 - 13. You cannot believe just anything and still be of Jesus Christ. He said that is impossible to do. And there is only one Truth, all others are lies.

2. Again, This is more religious language and nothing of Jesus Christ. According to Jesus Christ, is only those who attain holiness that are blessed with the Holy Spirit. Anyways, God is not religion and religion does not lead to God. Jesus Christ made that much clear in His Gospel. You choose.

Actually first church was in Ethiopia.

Moses wife Zipporah was a Cushite and from the darker regions of Sudan Nubian bordering on Ethiopia.

Perception is not FACT and you may perceive the Christian religion to be Eurocentric Caucasian white. That's because you lack knowledge a case of dumb and dumber.

First of all the evidence you put forward is from the same book the white man handed down you. It's his account of things with no scientific backing. Secondly, the orthodox form of Christianity practiced in Ethiopia today is very different from the one you and your slave masters practice today. Same goes for the Arabic Islamic peoples. You are all slaves conforming to an ideology promoting the racial supremacy of your colonizers and it doesn't matter if you're Christian or Muslim. How can an African be so stupid?

What is written in Matthew 15 vs 1 - 10 & Mark 7 vs 1 - 13 is not my personal view. Neither is what is written in John 14 vs 15 - 26 & John 15 vs 26 - 27 & John 16 vs 4 - 16 of personal view.

2. Indeed. Religion and its numerous interpretations which only seek to ignore God's direct teachings and commandments is not of God but of men, as Jesus Christ rightly said in the passages indicated. Religion is not of God and God has nothing to do with Religion.

Kobojunkie:
Christians say they give their lives to Jesus Christ — God's Law and Covenant in the Kingdom of God—yet they do everything possible to circumvent the very teachings and commandments of God as given to them by Jesus Christ. OP, Jesus Christ rather said that it is the lust in your heart that constitutes a sexual sin against God and not the sexual acts which you carry out afterward. It seems that rather than give your life to Jesus Christ — God's Law and Truth— in absoluteness, you have instead given your life to following of religious beliefs, abandoning Jesus Christ and His actual teachings and commandments altogether.

OP said homosexuality is sinful
in reply you junkie said the sexual acts are not sin

and because OP said the truth you accuse him of abandoning Jesus etc. etc.
you are a false accuser of Christians just like your father the devil:

Rev_12:10  Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, he who accuses them before our God day and night.

Gage1:


Don't mind him, his just trying to twist your head and woo others in sexual perversion as the homosexuality itself that you have condemned.

That's what they do , they try and critise wrongly the right gospel but giving another interpretation.

His point is to invalidate the Old Testament which condemn sodomy and make a point that will end up making nonsense of what you expose of them biblically ( his type the homos are busy nodding at his views now)

All these are meaningless religious gibberish to me since I already more than explained how homosexuality--- the act of laying with a man --- in and of itself is not sin in Jesus Christ. If you have have issue with that, go and take it up with Jesus Christ who didn't even mention it..

Also, as I already made clear, I defend the right of all people to choose to live, even in sin, because that right comes from God Himself and no man has right to take it away from another using God's name.
