What did Jesus say about Homosexuality
#17
TheRealVille Wrote:Christians were never ever under Jewish law. That was even decided in a little meeting of the original apostles with Peter and later with Paul, and made plain. Do a little studying, instead of picking one verse out of context.


Here are a few verse that came later, after that little meeting.
Ephesians 2:14-15
Galatians 3:10-13
Galatians 3:23-25
Hebrews, the whole book.


One more time, bye. I'll let you people that live by that book debate it out. But never think I don't know a little bible myself. It was a study of mine at one time, long ago.


Gentiles were never under the Old Testament law. They are however subject to the penalty of sin which is written in the Old Testament. "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God". Gentiles who have accepted salvation are the "grafted branch" and have been set free of the law thanks to the unspeakable gift of Jesus on the cross. Jesus came to earth, born of a virgin, offering salvation to the Jew first and then after they rejected Him, salvation was offered to the gentile.
Romans 1:16 (KJV)
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

You cited Ephesians 2:14-15, here is the text of your source;
Romans 2:2-16 (KJV)
2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:

7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, (see above same phrase in vs 12) do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one anotherWink
16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

The verses you cite, 14 and 15, merely state that even though the gentiles (prior to the coming of Jesus' 33 years here on earth as a man) don't have copies of the bible laying around, the Jews didn't either BTW they relied on the priests, they are still subject to the law. God has impressed the truth on their hearts

Jesus didn't do away with law, He fulfilled the law in that His was the substitutionary death that the law demands.
Romans 6:23 (KJV)
23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Like you, I have studied somewhat.
