Luther, a better Bible
scholar than you or I, correctly pointed out this distortion,
Need one say more, as to this person's point of reference. Who could concede this point. To the Protestant, all roads of dissent lead back to blaming St. Augustine. Correctly pointed out? In whose opinion?
"For this cause God delivered them up to shameful affections. For their women have changed the natural use into that use which is against nature. And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts one towards another, men with men working that which is filthy, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error. "God delivered them up"... Not by being author of their sins, but by withdrawing his grace, and so permitting them, in punishment of their pride, to fall into those shameful sins. "
" Who, having known the justice of God, did not understand that they who do such things, are worthy of death; and not only they that do them, but they also that consent to them that do them."
It is noted as sin, and all sin is condemned.
Worthy of death sounds definitive enough for me. When placed in context the meaning is clear. Luther's spawn will usually pluck out a word or phrase and argue it's
meaning to death, so as to imply yet another understanding of that Scripture. ( which suits them better)
