Another reason "Sola Scriptura" is bad for your spiritual health...

It's only sinful if you don't take pleasure in it

I don't think some readers know to click the "bright red" in my posts, which will connect them to the embedded link. Below is an excerpt of the article that I've linked to in the embedded bright red statement under the above picture.

This just in: Homosexuality has been discovered!

[Anglican Bishop] Gene Robinson was responding to a question about how he could reconcile his behavior with the exhortations of St. Paul to the Romans. No problem, the Anglican divine replied. St. Paul was "absolutely correct in his own context given what he knew." But the Apostle-- even with the inspiration of the Holy Spirit working in his favor-- couldn't possibly imagine that some men would lust after men. Which is odd, because that seems to be exactly what St. Paul wrote. But evidently the interpreters of the past 20 centuries have been missing something, because Robinson tells us: "It never occurred to anyone in ancient times that a certain minority of us would be born being affectionally oriented to people of the same sex."

This is exactly my point. SOLA SCRIPTURA, reading the bible for and by yourself, with no "higher authority" to interpret certain passages that might seem confusing to some, is why JESUS gave us HIS CHURCH, with Her teaching Authority, the Magisterium. The Catechism along WITH the bible, (given to us alsy by the RCC) is how JESUS intended His Church to learn and grow and mature in the ONE FAITH. ipso facto. Otherwise we end up with denom after denom making up the "rules" as they go along. Ending up in chaos and confusion...just exactly as the author of confusion, the enemy of our souls, Satan would have it. Now, tell me there's no need for a "higher authority" and that 'you and your bible alone' are led by the Holy Spirit into all Truth and I'll have to say that is a 'lie from the Evil One' that you've bought. Just like in the Garden of Eden, "you won't surely die" said the serpent to Eve. "you'll be like God." In other words when we make our SELVES our own "pope" we are in deep doo doo. Perilous and dangerous thinking and very prideful to be so presuming upon and cheapening God's grace. But maybe the homosexual prayed the sinner's prayer 40 years ago. He's "still saved" according to some in the "once saved always saved" camp. DANGEROUS GROUND. THIN ICE.
