David Meyer has no authority to dictate what a true Christian believes regarding homosexuals/lesbians/whatever. God's divinely inspired written Word is the only source of truth on the matter of how a man is to think, feel and act. In that sense, Scripture is the only reliable and authoritative source of "psychology", i.e., the "science of the soul". It is rather odd that you claim to love reading the Puritans who were 'masters of the soul" and whose views regarding such things as homosexuality are referred to pejoratively as "Puritanical".

1 The "right wing" lost the battle on gay marriage simply because the "right wing" turned their back, but particularly their mind and heart, on God. Contrary to popular myth, the "right wing" is not, I say, it is NOT Christian by any stretch of the imagination. What the "right wing" consists of, at least for the most part, although that is quickly going away, is a group of people who embrace to one degree or another a set of moral values and/or traditional values. But Christian they are not. The overwhelming number of so-called Evangelicals are unregenerate church-goers practicing 'churchianity'. The majority of visible churches in our day rarely even speak of sin, and those who dare to do so have redefined the term to mean simply various external deeds.

2. The lack of true biblical preaching/teaching has been at least contributed to the downfall of our societies and plunged it into moral decay. This was Satan's plan all along; to chip away at the foundation with the intent to topple the church, i.e., to make the church simply another facet of a corrupt society, aka: worldly. Paul warned about this danger and real threat in his Epistle to the Colossians:

Contrariwise, the injunction to those who have been truly called by God and given a new nature through the regenerating work of God the Spirit is thus:
There is little doubt in my mind that God has given the known "Western World" over to it's wicked desires and withdrawn the restraint of the Spirit it once had and when God truly blessed those nations with faithful men who proclaimed the truth without reserve. What Paul wrote in Romans 1 is nothing less than a perfect description of what the modern world is today. And, thus consistent with the title of this thread, "Nothing New Under the Sun?"

3. You can continue to post your convoluted use of Scripture to justify your abominable sin, which in the OT was worthy of death, use liberal 'scholars' and revised texts that are now sympathetic to the homosexual agenda, refer articles, etc., by non-Christian authors, but they will never have any influence to change my view nor any other Christ-honoring individual in regard to homosexuality or any other sexual deviancy. God is clear...... sin is sin and must be repented of, "for the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hinder the truth in unrighteousness; because that which is known of God is manifest in them; for God manifested it unto them....who, knowing the ordinance of God, that they that practise such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also consent with them that practise them."
