This suggestion that we should allow children to make up their own minds about their beliefs is erroneous. From a biblical perspective Christians are commanded to teach their children: “And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up” (Deuteronomy 6:7) …..“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:9). Children need guidance and should not be left to construct their own worldview; no wise parent would neglect to instill and instruct their children in the faith that they affirm and dismiss the importance of love, tolerance, understanding, etc. He is implying that children are not being taught these universal truths. If this humanist is serious about allowing children to make up their own minds then why is he trying to impose his own belief…..moral relativism?

“Sacred Tradition began the moment the Apostles began teaching after the death of Christ”

Here we go again with these circular arguments…..You make a claim for apostolic tradition without demonstrating apostolic pronouncements for these traditions. Where are the biblical references that show the apostles giving specific traditions?


“Sacred Tradition predates Sacred Scripture and holds a position of equal footing with the Word.”

Not so; this is another presumptuous claim without biblical support.


“Neither stands on its own, nor was it meant to”

Wrong again…..The Word of God has and continues to stand on its own….It has not contradicted itself like Romanism has.


“When you've had 2000 years to build your base…”

Another pseudo claim without proof….You have yet to prove that the Roman Church and the New Testament Church are the same. Anyone who has an adequate knowledge of history and the Scriptures knows full well that they are not one and the same.

“He never mentioned homosexuality so that was NEVER part of His message. God never says anything against homosexuals or same sex marriage”

As I expected; a vague response without any biblical substance….Is this what you call “seeing the light”? You may want to reevaluate your theology before making a claim because the jesus you are promoting is not the Jesus of the Bible. The Jesus of the Bible did teach us to love one another but he also taught repentance: “I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish” (Luke 13:3). At the end of the day God has condemned same sex relationships in His Word and only those who willfully ignore its written testimony can think as you do.

"No I'm referring to real Christian churches which subscribe to the message of Christ."

Please, elaborate on "the message of Christ" that you subscribe to . . . . Also, your references to "hate" will not conceal your real intention here; you know, dismissing God's explicit Word on this matter and substituting it with your form of relativism . . .

“Nope and many Christian churches prove you wrong…”

Certainly you must be referring to these recent apostate churches that have forsaken the Word of God. Prior to the late 1950’s early 1960’s when the homosexual movement began to emerge you will not be able to trace any “church” that subscribed to this unbiblical heresy . . .

"But the Bible never says that so you are pretending you can speak for God."

Sorry, but there are literally thousands of manuscripts that confirm Genesis 2:24 which again says, "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh”. . . .

“This is not an either or situation, Tradition or Biblical.”

On the contrary, when one makes the claim that certain beliefs were handed down by the apostles then it does become an either or situation….


“Except for the 1.3 billion Christians of the Catholic Church. Oops...”

Truth is never determined by the number of adherents a particular group may have; if this is the case than Islam who recently surpassed Christian bodies in numbers can claim that they alone are the true faith….
