I am a Bisexual Christian. Does anyone want to use 1 Corinthians 5:9-13 on me? Will you purge me?

Question

9 I have written you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— 10 not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. 11 But now I am writing you that you must not associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat.

12 What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? 13 God will judge those outside. "Expel the wicked man from among you."

I have already been threatened. And that person doesn't even know me. Will you too attempt to expel me?

Duchess, Because I know a thing or two you don't, like God for instance.

scotgirl60,
I like you already. Thanks sister.

kl,
I am fine, thank you. And thanks for being discerning.

(Angry) Cas,
Yet another sister in Christ. Thank God for you!

tracy211968,
No, it's because God loves me, and I am confident enough to know that I am forgiven. I know Him, and cares for even this dirty rotten freak: me.

sha sha Sharonna,
Please get a commentary and look into that verse in John's epistle. Just give it a try. You sin, little girl, you just were taught not to believe it.

BGrimey,
You think you know what the Old Testament is about, you don't. All you did was tell me about yourself. In that you you are ignorant about it. Have you ever looked up the word 'Grace'? Do you know how it applies? Do you know why it applies in he New Covenant? What you don't know can hurt you.

Lone Ranger ,
Did you miss my prior question tonight about the Pharisaical Christians? Everyone who answered wasn't a Pharisee. Why didn't you answer? It would have been funny to see you deny it.

Another Pharisee = shaolt2002

Answer 1

I couldn't use any scripture against you to judge you without bringing down condemnation upon my own head for my own sins...so if you can tolerate my sins I can tolerate yours.

Thanks be to God for the grace we have through Jesus Christ!

Answer 2

I feel sick! The bible says if you love me keep my commandments. You are sick in the head. Live the way you want but don't try to make others feel bad for trying to keep Gods word by trying to be Holy. You in the other hand is someone that speaks with out thinking and for some reason feel you should be accepted no matter what. That's the reason the bible say many shall seek to enter in but few there be that find it. While you try to justify your self with a Scripture there is the rest of the book that says you are an abomination. People want to believe they will make it by living the way they want but God said broad and wide is the way that leads to destruction and many there be that go and narrow and straight is the way that leads to life and few there be that find it. Did not the scripture say that if the righteous be scarcely save where does that leave the sinner and the unbeliever? In other words if Paul and Peter and all the apostles and everybody that does what the bible says barely make it, how will those that sin willfully and those that don't believe make it?

Answer 3

No, I want to use John 8:1-11 on you. Will you agree with Messiah Yeshua to try to stop (v:11)?

We are all sinners, btw, that is why it is so important to understand the Torah and to observe the 7th day Sabbath. Grace covers sin, but, Romans 6:23.

Edit: Tube root. Just to show how judgemental and unlearned you really are, I had just gotten online and this was the first question I came to. So much for trying to get a perverted mind to understand mercy.

Tell me, how do you define sin? If you learned to define sin the way God defines sin then you would see the impossibility of your claim to be a "Bisexual Christian".

Answer 4

This is a tough question, you know.
When you say 'I am a Bisexual Christian' you are choosing a dual identity, one half of which is expressing your hope in Christ, while the other half bases your identity in something that, I'm sure you know, is contrary to God's will.
It is a strange thing that our culture today chooses to make an identity from a sexual orientation. We are taught that we are 'born this way' however this way is, and that we cannot change, and probably should not try to. Except that the message of Christ is that He will transform us into His image, a sinless, perfect and wholesome image that is no longer oriented towards sin, but is oriented towards God.

It was not this way in ancient times. In Jesus' time people did not identify themselves in terms of what we would call 'sexuality' today. There were simply those who sinned without knowing it, and those who knew they were sinning. Many of the first Christians, both Jews and Gentiles came from backgrounds where sexual sin (some of it much worse than Homosexuality) was common. But by God's grace they were delivered from the corrupt culture they were a part of and were conformed to Christ's image.

What is very seldom spoken of in these forums is that Homosexuality is the result of Abuse, either emotional, physical or both. Abuse can scar us deeply, and leave us feeling permanently scarred long after it has ended, I think particularly in our culture, because we believe, Christian and non-Christian alike, that who we have had sex with defines us.
But Christ's transforming power is such that He can deliver us from every abuse, heal every scar and bring us into a perfect relationship with Him. I think that ultimately there is no room for a dual identity in Christ, just as there can ultimately be no accommodation with sin. Our hope in Christ then is not that we can be accepted, but be transformed.

Make no mistake, the call of Christ is a challenge. It challenges every part of our being. It forces us to look at everything imperfect in ourselves, not merely our sins, but our short-comings as well, not merely the spectacular sins, but the subtle ones also. I think the question we all have to ask ourselves is, do we have the courage, as C.S. Lewis said to be 'Mere Christians', Christians without any caveat, or sub-division. Do we have the courage to identify wholly with Christ, and be committed to seeking His Way?

Answer 5

Well, it is abundantly clear that you have already made up your mind about all of us PHARISEES on here! If what I have said makes me a Pharisee (in your mind only) then so be it!!

I still love you.... love the sinner, hate the sin!

Don't think for one second that the part in the Bible where it says that "sexual immorality is forbidden" doesn't apply to you!! It applies TO EVERYONE OF US! Even those who claim to be christians....

I am not judging you, by any means...just stating what it says in the Bible!!

Repent and turn away from your sin, if not God will make you pay for what you have done and continue to do against His will. It is NOT according to His will to have you continue your way of life! Think about that......

May God Have Mercy on Your Soul!!

Answer 6

I'll pray that you become "born-again" because John stated that 'whoever is born of God cannot sin' (1 John 3:9). Everyone who is 'born of God' or 'born again' has Christ living in him or her - the life-giving spirit of Christ and the perfect mind of Christ. This is the perfect 'new man', the perfect Christ-like man, dwelling in all who are 'born of God' or 'born again'. And note this very carefully - the 'new man', the perfect Christ, who is in all who are 'born of God' or 'born again', cannot sin! OR remain in a sinful lifestyle. The purging you speak of was a temporary situation to bring the individual to repentance.

EDIT: In response to your response. Yes I do sin, but not habitually; nor do I desire to fornicate, or do drugs or get involved in the occult anymore; those things are against my new nature now.
I did look up the commentary and I quote: ... "he is talking about people who make a practice of sinning and look for ways to justify it..... When we are born again we have a new mind, which is renewed daily by the Holy Spirit. Romans 12:2, Eph. 4:22-24 So we must begin to think and act differently. for more read John 3:1-21"
I am not condemning you, just trying to show you the need to be born again and not just be an intellectual Christian. In James 2 he talks about believing isn't enough, we need to have our deeds follow as a result of what we believe. Even the demons believe - but their deeds are evil. As a result of your loving God, you will practice taking every thought captive unto the obedience of God.

Answer 7

Naw I'll use Peter and Jude on you.

"Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God" 1st Peter 2:16

"For certain men whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only sovereign and Lord" Jude 1:4

You can profess to be a Christian all you want, and talk about how God has forgiven you, but if you overlook your sins and act like they do not matter, you are in dangerous territory. Because of that I readily admit that I will go to hell, I think. I believe in Christ and believe that Christ can forgive sins, but I sometimes knowingly and voluntarily sin, and because of that I have abused the grace he has supposedly given.

We have to live as servants of God, we cannot let sin keep a grip on us. To call ourselves Christians, and to continue sinning, especially to say ,"I am a Christian so God loves me anyway despite my sins" then we abuse the grace we have been given and forsake God. I will not live a lie, pretending that God doesn't care about my sins. Jesus died for my sins and yet I continue to sin. I do not deserve heaven and will not pretend that I am going there.

If you are covered by the grace of God you should be sanctified from all sin. You should NEVER overlook your sin and pretend like God doesn't care.

Answer 8

I don't think it's possible to be a "Bisexual Christian"
There are Christians who struggle with homosexuality and sexual immoral behavior. Usually the heterosexual folks and heterosexual sinning folks condemn the homosexual sinning folks and treat them as scum, which is sin as Jesus called us to love one another.
I can't even purge myself! So how could I purge you of your sins? Jesus is the One, the ONLY one who purges us from all sin. We work out or live out His purging in our choices. He doesn't want us to keep on sinning.
But I think we need to be careful of what names we give ourselves because we tend to live up to those names.
I can buy that you're either a Christian that struggles with bi-sexual temptation or you're not a Christian at all but think you are but I don't buy that you're a "Bi-Sexual Christian".
By the way, I am a Christian who has struggled with being a people pleasing Co De-pendant! So even though I haven't struggled with that sexual sin, I have struggled with sin and in God's eyes, sin is sin. Thankfully, He is a merciful God who has led me to repentence and the fullness of life!
May the Lord continue His work in both of our lives! God Bless you!

Answer 9

No one has to use 1 Cor 5:9-13 on you, you just used it on yourself. You know that you are not living in conformance with the teachings of Christ.
If you are a member of a congregation professing to be "Christian", the only reason they allow you to remain a member is that they too are not following proper discipline and they allow you to remain in order for you to toss your coins in the collection plate.
You are typical of those who know they are engaged in wrongful actions, and worse, you brag and flaunt it to try and bolster your standing in pretense to be a "Christian"; but the casual observer is able to see your hypocracy. No matter how much you speak of doing good, your actions destroy any good you may profess. YOUR ARE NOT A CHRISTIAN.....

Answer 10

Good to know at least you know the bible and that is a good start

Seems to me anyone can call themselves a Christian these days so best to know is your nnme written in the book of life because God is Love but God will also pour out His wrath on those who disobey Him

Been wise in your own eyes will not save you from God's wrath
