Say what?! 🙄
How does that follow from anything I said? It's like you get tired of talking to people and spin the random religious cliche wheel and just post what you land on.

I try to give him a wide berth. He comes up with the weirdest crap that he says "It's in the Bible!" but it's not. What he spouts is his interpretation of what the Bible says. It's like he reads the Bible and the weird crap he says is "in the Bible" is just a description of the bizarro pictures he gets in his head when he reads the Bible. As I said, I try to give him a wide berth, but he consistently posts weird crap about the Bible and I'm concerned people will think this is just "how Christians are".
Originally posted by @bigdoggproblemYeah, that's what I got from it, too.
It makes sense, I think. You are saying that the term is useful at a broad enough scope.
Narrow it down any, and it can't help but become "individual" rather than "Biblical". I think the Bible is meant to speak to everyone on their level. The best way to approach the Bible is to spend some time honestly reflecting on how what you are reading applies in your own life, and in this way, it's all individual.

Right back at you.

Why do you?
Anyone who claims sexual immorality is not immorality definitely follows a gospel other than the one in the Bible.

Jesus is the one who claimed sexual immoralitt is a sign of rejecting God. Since you embrace sexual immorality obviously you reject God worshipping Satan who you call Jesus.
