"Until the Law was established sin was in the world and it was a nasty sinful place!
So much so that God Destroyed the World with a flood because of this very fact!
Genesis 6:5. And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Genesis 6:6. And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
Genesis 6:7. And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them
It was a nasty sinful place compared to today by a long shot!"
If you read my earlier post on this point it was only your opening statement ("Until the Law was established sin was in the world and it was a nasty sinful place!") with which I took issue. The rest of it is soundly Biblical especially your last sentence ("It was a nasty sinful place compared to today by a long shot!"), far more so than most Sunday School teachers realize. It was a real shock to my system when I learned the "adult" version of Gen.6 compared to the "children's" version back in Sunday School I can tell you!
"But God introduced the Law into the world so that no person can be justified in his sight.
Romans 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight:....."
With respect, this is incorrect on two counts, both of which I explain in my earlier post. In order to debate, the idea is that you have to logically and clearly refute my arguments based on mutually accepted terms of reference, not simply reassert your original statements.
"So thru the Knowledge of the Law we learn what sin is.
Romans 7:7 ....I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
Romans 3:20. ...for by the law is the knowledge of sin."
I have no argument with this since it is pure scripture?!
"If you wish I will continue with all the rest?"
Be my guest?!
"It's not a theology, it's the Word of God and the start of the Gospel Message! Sin to Repentance to Salvation!"
With respect, it is not simply "the Word of God", but rather, your interpretation and application of that Word, and therefore, is really, "your theology". This, however, does not necessarily mean that your theology is incorrect, unless it can be shown to be inconsistent with the teachings of the Word of God?
"BTW this is propaganda.

Excuse me?! What do you mean that discussing the subject of whether homosexuals should be "executed" (murdered?!) for their sin should not be done "in front of unbelievers (homosexuals?!)" since that is to "cast pearls before swine"?! You mean it should only be done in secret like Heidrich's meeting in Wannsee in 1942 to decide the fate of the Jews in Nazi Germany and to bring about "The Final Solution"? Explain please?"
How can this be propaganda since I am not advocating Homosexuality or "Gay Rights" (except to be treated as human beings with the same inalienable God-given human rights as the rest of us which does not include the "right" to practice homosexuality) but simply responding to a statement which you made and seeking further clarification/explanation?
