God doesn't flip-flop!


By defaithed - Posted on 25 October 2008

In "Evangelicals reluctantly embrace McCain", a Rev. Loran Livingston says, "Economics change... But how God feels about life and marriage never changes. So I tell them, 'Find the candidate whose philosophy lines up most with the Scripture, pray a lot, and vote'."

How God feels never changes? Then I certainly hope that Loran lives in full accordance with Old Testament law, including all the stuff about unclean foods and mixed threads in cloth and stoning adulterers and killing disobedient children and what not.

And no homes with pointy roofs! Remember, how God feels never changes!

Now get out there, Reverend, and kill some gays.

Your comments are unfounded. You do not even know the man, Loran Livingston!
If you did, you would know that he is not out to "kill gays" as you put it.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." That is the God that Loran Livingston talks about!

I didn't say that Livingston is out to kill gays; in the absence of evidence to the contrary, of which I have none, I assume he has no such evil plans.

The God of the Bible certainly did command people to kill gays. Livingston says that this God is real, and that his word is real, and that "how God feels about life and marriage never changes".

If it's true that God's feelings never change, then God still wants us to kill gays, and Livingston might want to explain why he's disobeying God. 

Alternately, if God no longer wants us to kill gays, then God's feelings have changed, and Livingston's statement "how God feels about life and marriage never changes" is incorrect. 

That's the only point.
