The condemned?

Post #1

Post by Bobcat »

Jesus says that those who hear His word and do not keep it are condemned.

John 12:47,48
“Anyone who hears my word and does not keep it I am not the one to condemn him for I did not come to condemn the world I came to save it. Anyone who rejects me and does not accept my word he already has his judge namely the words I’ve spoken that’s what will condemn him on the last day.”

So keeping His word is accepting it.

Jesus said He kept God’s word. He also said He came to spread it. So by His standards keeping God’s word is spreading it.

Do you keep God’s word as Jesus did? Or are you condemned?

In Leviticus 20:13 god said  “If a man has sexual relations with another man as with a woman, they have committed a terrible sin. They must be put to death."

So I can only conclude that Jesus killed his share of such sinful men. Now, I haven't killed any man who has sexual relations with another man as with a woman, so I guess I'm condemned, although, I'm not dead yet, so I do have time to redeem myself. How about yourself, Bobcat? Have you kept god's word and put to death a practicing homosexual man yet?

Bobcat, you are absolutely right in saying that keeping Jesus' word is spreading it. He assigned all true Christians the work of going out and finding people to share his good news with. (Matthew 24:14; Matthew 28:19,20; Acts 20:20)

The homosexual would have been put to death by the courts that upheld God's Law. Not by any individual. These days the courts don't kill homosexuals and Jesus admonished everyone to obey the laws of the land. Practicing homosexuals will be taken care of by Jesus when he comes back in Kingdom power.

What do you mean by 'taken care of'?



See John 8:1-11.


Peace again.

What you are describing is not keeping God’s word. Read the OP again.

Okay, I read the OP's two questions, which is what you put up for debate:

Q 1a. Do you keep God’s word
n..1b. as Jesus did?
Q 2. Or are you condemned?

A 1a. One of god's words: Leviticus 20:13 where god said: “If a man has sexual relations with another man as with a woman, they have committed a terrible sin. They must be put to death."
...1b. re. "as Jesus did" The implication being that in keeping god's word Jesus put to death "a man [who] has sexual relations with another man as with a woman"
A 2. Not personally having "put to death "a man [who] has sexual relations with another man as with a woman" I guess I would necessarily be condemned.

Here. Read the bolded.


Jesus says that those who hear His word and do not keep it are condemned.

John 12:47,48
“Anyone who hears my word and does not keep it I am not the one to condemn him for I did not come to condemn the world I came to save it. Anyone who rejects me and does not accept my word he already has his judge namely the words I’ve spoken that’s what will condemn him on the last day.”

So keeping His word is accepting it.
