- United Church of Christ

The National Baptist Convention has no clear position.

So my question is can a person be a "Bible Christian" who believes in sola scriptura and also support gay sex and gay marriage and abortion?

Will God send Catholics to hell for venerating the mother of Jesus, but excuse or condone those who commit fornication, adultery, abortion, homosexuality, theft, slander, etc.?

The Didache, which a Christian catechism that used to be believed to be from the second century, but now historians believe that it is from the first century. So, if that is true it is very close to Jesus. The second chapter says this:



The second part of the teaching​


1 But the second commandment of the teaching is this: 2 "Thou shalt do no murder; thou shalt not commit adultery"; thou shalt not commit sodomy; thou shalt not commit fornication; thou shalt not steal; thou shalt not use magic; thou shalt not use philtres; thou shalt not procure abortion, nor commit infanticide; "thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's goods"; 3 thou shalt not commit perjury, "thou shalt not bear false witness"; thou shalt not speak evil; thou shalt not bear malice. 4 Thou shalt not be double-minded nor double-tongued, for to be double-tongued is the snare of death. 5 Thy speech shall not be false nor vain, but completed in action. 6 Thou shalt not be covetous nor extortionate, nor a hypocrite, nor malignant, nor proud; thou shalt make no evil plan against thy neighbour. 7 Thou shalt hate no man; but some thou shalt reprove, and for some shalt thou pray, and some thou shalt love more than thine own life.


Were these early Christians from the first century wrong about fornication, abortion, and sodomy? Is the Bible wrong?

Everyone sees in the Bible what they want to.
This is why God gave us the Church as the pillar and foundation of the truth.

Rev 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Rev 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

No matter what they call themselves or no matter what religion they claim to a member.

Except your church is neither a pillar upholding the truth, nor is its foundation the truth, as it was for the 1st century church. It upholds itself and its many man-made doctrines, "teaching for doctrine the precepts of men."

No, the Bible is not wrong. But Catholicism teaches many false doctrines, that lead its members to put more faith in it and Mary for salvation, instead of solely in grace through faith in Jesus Christ.

It seems all denominations teach a bit of false doctrine in these last days. So if you think you are in the one that doesn't, look again. 2 Thessalonnians 2 says that Jesus will not come but that the falling away in the church comes first. That is what you are seeing - the falling away.

Make sure you work out your own salvation and don't depend on your denomination to teach you the way of righteousness. Study the Bible on your own. And even more in these last days!

Above all else, do not believe the heresy that the cross makes it alright to sin without condemnation!

Obviously NOT.

People will go to HELL because they have no FAITH in the SIN OFFERING of Jesus on the Cross to cleanse them from their SIN.

Being Born Again of the Holy Spirit, will CHANGE a person's life, beliefs, and motivations.

Is the Bible wrong?
No, but "Interpretations" of the Bible often are, and the list of Denominational systems you call out are some of THE LAST PLACES on earth to find Biblical truth in.

Idolatry of Mary is just as much a sin as those other things. The Bible is clear that idolaters will have their place in the Lake Of Fire.

With all that said, I live near Lake Worth, Fl, which has a very large and outspoken homosexual community. And we're about 45 minutes from Miami, which has a huge homosexual community.

The church across the street from us is pulling no punches. They did a series on homosexuality starting with "The Sin Of Homosexuality" and ending with "Christ: The Hope Of Forgiveness For The Homosexual". They advertised it heavily.

I don't know how many homosexuals were saved as a result, but that church earned my respect for standing up for the truth of God's Word boldly and compassionately.

If you ask that question, you could equally ask is anything they wrote true.
Also according to scripture its the word and the Spirit.
 
Rev 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Rev 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

Well that doesn't sound like Faith Alone.
