Belief in the Resurrection & Satan

@divegeester said
So having previously answered “sure” ~ when I initially asked you if your fornication was influenced by satanic forces ~ you are now saying that your sexual behaviour is in fact not influenced by Satan because someone has given you permission to have sex outside of marriage?

And furthermore irrespective of clear scriptural instructions on the matter which is taken seri ...[text shortened]... erhaps you have a quote from Saint Horney the Bonerman of Randyland to support your disobedience....

Is it better for the norms of a previously established relationship to totally be violated and for the relationship to fail?

A fundamentally good relationship that is literally proceeding to marriage, heed you.

Homosexuality is a more severe form of fornication because it is unnatural in nature; it is referred to as an 'abomination' in the Old Testament.

Yet, you are right -- to not repent for fornication is far, far deadlier than to have had a homosexual relationship and then to have subsequently repented it. The two wouldn't even compare.

People who committed fornication in the OT times were stoned to death.

How were homosexuals dealt with for their “more severe form of fornication”?

People who fornicated, if both were unmarried and did so willingly, were wedded.

And you know the answer to the second one. ^^

LOL, no. It is a matter of oiknomia at this point: it has essentially been stated that my current relationship, as it has the intention of marriage, is acceptable. Though, of course, the status is inferior to having a proper one.

A comparison that could be drawn are traditional polygamists that are brought into the church: it would be immoral to ask a man to divorc ...[text shortened]... the church is actually a normal form of it. We will be living without the sacrament either way.

You have absolutely no scriptural support for these anti-Biblical claims.

As this is the seventh time you've mentioned him since Pascha, it might be wise to just put it all out there and write a post about what it all means to you.

Haven't you been reading what I have said?

@philokalia said
Yes, and it does remain a less than preferable thing as it is not an official marriage, but yes, it is acceptable and does not impact my communion with the body of Christ.

Lol. On what basis the bulge in your underpants..!?

@philokalia said
Or do you want to talk about my sex life?

Certainly not. I want to talk about your pompous hypocrisy and intellectual dishonesty.

I can't actually address this in full because it's only relevant to you and Dive, and Lord only knows what you guys want to have addressed.

The main target of Romans1009's most incessantly visceral insults was Ghost of a Duke.

Alright, so what is your scripturally based belief on this?

Number eight right there.

Care to elaborate?

These mentions of Romans1009 are about you.

The main target of Romans1009's most incessantly visceral insults was Ghost of a Duke. Sometimes the same insult 5-6 times in a row. Sometimes a dozen times each day. Week in week out. For months. The same insult. Over and over again.

You must know all about it: you endorsed it as the best posting on the forum.

Sure.

Your inability to answer my straightforward question is noted.

Nevertheless, obedience to Christ is not a matter of negotiation based on your personal circumstances. According to biblical scripture you are practicing fornication. You are also responsible for your girlfriend being in a state of fornication.

Either acknowledge it or don’t, but please don’t insult the intelligence of readers of this forum with your bollox about being given permission by someone conveniently handy or launching counter-measures about principles of “economy” or some other copy pasted pretentious waffle.

Number ten.

Oh? So what about what I'm doing now reminds you of this Romans affair?

Why bring it up?
