[@j.p.1370]

LOLOL. There are few people who stand more diametrically opposed to God than James White. He's a haughty, self-obsessed little man who worships only one god -- the one he sees in the mirror each day. He's effectively a mental midget who gets verbally destroyed by anyone with an even average IQ - which is why he makes his Facebook commenting private, doesn't allow comments on his KZbin videos and immediately blocks anyone who calls him out on Twitter. He deals in religion because it's one area that's open to interpretation on virtually every topic and he can't definitely be proven wrong. He "debates" people in this type of setting because he's mentally incapable of a fluid conversation where his points are challenged on the spot. He's also a classic case of "He Doth Protest Too Much," a little man forever obsessed with combating homosexuality despite a lot of interesting mannerisms and an interesting relationship with Jeff Durbin. Though, a close second is his constant bitterness toward progress in the area of racial issues. A good measure of any Christian's discernment is their opinion of James White. If you can't very quickly recognize him as a wolf in sheep's clothing, you need to go back to the basics on your faith.

[@alvarohernandez2764]

@@thetad1242 that's a valid response. It's been 3yrs since so I've learned some things I didn't know then. God has implemented in marriage the formula for salvation, where he is the groom, and mankind the bride. We as the woman are corrupt and must die, yet God offers to save us from our corrupt nature. But we must deny ourselves and marry him if we want to inherit his perfect nature. It's the only way. Then we produce an offspring of new the new creature that is a hybrid of god in us and us in God, so we go on as sons, but the mother dies. We the woman must inherit the nature of whom we marry. If we don't marry God (our opposite sex) we can not be reborn as the new life, for a new life only occurs between the bride and the groom. Here lies the problem with homosexuality: If the bride (man kind) is NOT attracted to her groom (GOD), she is active in spiritual homosexuality, she rather loves herself or another of her corrupted kind. Spiritual homosexuality, prevents that relationship that produces new life to save us. Likewise, marrying satan spiritually would give birth in us his corrupt nature. This is all spiritual. Now, god has said in romans, that because of this, we give glory to creation (ourselves and demons) rather than the creator (God) because we acted in this spiritual homosexuality of not being attacked to God, God himself gave them a reprobate mind so they act in the flesh the homosexuality that manifested spiritually first, leaving the natural use, man with man, and woman with woman, rejecting the nature of God incorruptible for animals and man corruptible. To manifest in the flesh the doomed ways of their spiritual behavior.

If Mr. Codrington wants to use Leviticus 18:22 as the immediate context of 18:21 then he also should do the same with Leviticus 18:23 to be consistent. If laying with a man like with a woman is condemned only in the context of cultic activity but in other cases it is permitted then laying with animals would be meant in the same way - as an service to Moloch it would be forbidden but in other instances it is perfectly OK. Right?

[@timestealr2967]

That's the folly of their argument; they say that Leviticus is for only those who practice "cultist" worship. Really? If that were so, then why didn't God insert that little escape clause into this text? Answer, because it's an abomination regardless, be it cultist or not in a cult. God wiped out these nations since they practiced such abominations, and if so then he would have to turn and wipe out Israel too if they did the same. No, doing these things, whether in a cult, church or in a synagogue is evil and sinful! These people really annoy me in the sense that they look into scripture to find answers to support their upholding of gay marriage and such and when they don't find it, they insert their own beliefs right into scripture and call it as "sound doctrine"! I guess from that perspective one could read scripture and get a great recipe for pizza; however this is not how scripture is written and we are not to insert any sin into God's word and then twist it to make it seem as if God approves of it and scripture is very clear on this subject and these people don't like it one bit. And it's not just the homosexuals; it's Catholics, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Word of Faith, NAR and the like! They want what their itching ears and strangled hearts in sin to have whatever they desire; acceptance of sin on any platform or by any means, even using scripture to justify it! Their condemnation is well deserved.

[@carolcarol6008]

No, I think that misrepresents Codrington’s argument. In a nutshell, he has said that he believes there are committed, covenant “gay” relationships.

@Richard Fox Proverbs 26:5 ESV Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes. Sir, the fact you even watched this debate, and your attempt to discredit the truth of scripture, simply proves your guilt before God. Like all the rest of man kind, you absolutely know there is a God who will hold you accountable for your sin against Him and you will have no excuse. How can I say that? Simple, you are attempting to defend your sin because you love it. If there was no God, none of this would even matter to you. Your world view betrayed you and left you exposed. I will not argue with you. But for your sake I will say this, repent, turn and run from your sin and put all your trust into Christ Jesus. He is the only way to the Father. If you reject him, and cling to your sin, you are already perishing. Romans 1:18-25,28-32 ESV For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. [19] For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. [20] For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. [21] For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. [22] Claiming to be wise, they became fools, [23] and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. [24] Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, [25] because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen. [28] And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. [29] They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, [30] slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, [31] foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. [32] Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them. John 3:18-20 ESV Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. [19] And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. [20] For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed.

Jude 1:7 [7]Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 [9]Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, [10]Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. [11]And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. 1 Timothy 1:9-10 [9]Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, [10]For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; 1 Corinthians 7:2 [2]Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. 2 Timothy 4:3 [3]For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 1 Kings 14:24 [24]And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel. Colossians 3:5 [5]Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: Revelation 21:8 [8]But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

He's effectively a mental midget who gets verbally destroyed by anyone with an even average IQ - which is why he makes his Facebook commenting private, doesn't allow comments on his KZbin videos and immediately blocks anyone who calls him out on Twitter. He deals in religion because it's one area that's open to interpretation on virtually every topic and he can't definitely be proven wrong. He "debates" people in this type of setting because he's mentally incapable of a fluid conversation where his points are challenged on the spot. He's also a classic case of "He Doth Protest Too Much," a little man forever obsessed with the issue of homosexuality. Though, a close second is his constant bitterness toward progress in the area of racial issues. A good measure of any Christian's discernment is their opinion of James White. If you can't very quickly recognize him as a wolf in sheep's clothing, you need to go back to the basics on your faith.

@@electronicMI Sure. Happy to. Of course, we both already know you'll simply reply with, "Well, he's telling the truth!" Or, that doesn't prove anything!" For James' self worship please browse his Facebook feed. You'll find a flood of him sharing his own quotes. A fool who believes he's so wise that his own words are the most prophetic thing he can impart on people. For a broader look at his theology, you can check out his Oct. 5, 2018 post in which he professes: "Just a quick note.... 1) The left in the US is unhinged, irrational, evil, and intent upon the destruction (how else do you define "deconstruction"?) of the nation. Period." So, although James' primary goal is to elevate himself as god, part of the way he accomplishes this is by playing to the pseudo-Christian, politically conservative idolatry that has taken over much of the conservative church, especially the Southern Baptist wing. Republicans are good and Democrats are evil. White contends that half of the nation is evil ... because of its political party ... and intent on destroying America. So, we can go on with plenty more examples that his cult will dismiss, but those are a couple of my favorites. As for him not allowing comments and blocking people ... why does a man who WHINES so much about the "totalitarian left" feel the need to silence all dissent? It shouldn't take anything more than a basic understanding of human psychology to realize that haughty little men like James only go to all those efforts to silence dissenters because he's a thin-skinned, prideful little man.

At about 59:00, Codrington askes "what is the purpose of marriage?" Marriage exists as a private relationship that is a public demonstration to the world of what a right relationship with God is supposed to look like. In this demonstration, the man plays the role of Jesus, while the woman plays the role of the church, so that the world will see their covenant relationship with one another and have an idea of what it is like to be in a right relationship with God (Ephesians 5:21-33). Because there are not two gods, but one, and because there are not two churches, but one, marriage simply cannot exist between two men (who represent Christ), or two women (who represent the church), but that it can only exist between one man and one woman - one church united to one Christ. The original pattern for marriage is seen in Adam and Eve, and ALL other examples of marriage that we have in Genesis from polygamy to incest, all occur AFTER sin has been introduced and has perverted the original plan.

The minute he said that Joseph married his sister Dinah I knew he was completely off the rails and didnt have a clue about biblical exegesis.

[@Hamann9631]

JOSEPH James. Great comment. I was listening while working so I didn't notice our ridiculous and obviously false that was. Joseph couldn't have married his sister.

[@jakester5272]

Thank you Lord for James White. Stand for the truth.

"who knows what Codrington is doing" He's flopping around like a skinned fish. He knows he's wrong, but he has gotten himself in too deep with this issue.

James White is anointed by God for debating God’s Holy scripture. He won the debate when he spoke about of his wife breastfeeding their precious son at the time it was most needed.

When Codrington stated (approx 1hr 10 mins) that if he uses the same methodology (exegetical) that Dr. White uses to get to trinitaranism, he gets to gay marraige. Dr. White probably didn't notice that part but Codrington sneakily used the same methodology which was isogesis rather than exegesis. Notice that when he starts to say that God would regard "SOME" homosexual relations/activities as sin, right from there he started with an assumption and tried to put it into the text. When you use exegetical methods to get to the Diety of Christ you don't start with that as an assumption and insert it into scripture to validate your assumption. Ths is exactly what Codrigton did in this debate time and again. He's either being deliberately dishonest or he totally mis understood what exegetical methodology actually is.

Dr. White did a fine job. And, Codrington... Well, he was preaching emotionalism, not the truth.

[@globeagentronburgundy9747]

So when Jesus taught: "Love your neighbor as yourself", was he also preaching emotionalism according to you? How would you know what the truth is?

[@brainnok]

@@globeagentronburgundy9747 No. Jesus wasn't teaching emotionalism. The command to love your neighbor as yourself was already given to us by God. See Leviticus 19: 17 “You shall not hate your brother in your heart, but you shall reason frankly with your neighbor, lest you incur sin because of him. 18 You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord. God isn't a liar. So, we can determine what the truth is by what He has said in scripture.

[@globeagentronburgundy9747]

@@globeagentronburgundy9747 I've got plenty of reasons to believe the scriptures are true. I believe based on the evidence that is available.

Graeme, child birth is the defining feature of marriage. it isn't one among other equal reasons.

[@nicosibanyoni4525]

Great Debate. Dr. White wins in my opinion. But I enjoyed listening to the debate. Kudos to Codrington for showing up to the debate, he was defending homosexuality in a church and i assume the room was full of conservative christians. Dr. White did a great job to debate his view without depending on tradition and the fact that he was debating infront pf an audiece that agrees with his view. He did his job during this debate. I especially enjoyed his rebuttal. Great debate. Better than most debates i have seen on this subject.

[@nicosibanyoni4525]

Codrington's rebuttal is also good. I just think this is a weighted debate. Weighted to the side of Dr White.

[@DW884love]

Honestly? I think Dr White just kept demanding the argument to go a certain way, when it didn’t, he stated that he was right and went on with it…

[@go_to_explore]

Dear gays, don't excuse yourself with the ideea that all people are sinful or that you born that way and it can't be changed !! Why would you lie yourself?

He is the way the truth and the life. I loved James’ conclusion: There was an empty tomb and that’s a historical fact. I’m listening to that guy cause he is lord and saviour!

[@bobloblaw2958]

What other outcome in this debate did anybody expect. Dr White is simply the best debater for Christ I have personally ever seen.

[@DW884love]

Even if that was true, which it is not, what does that say about him? He knows the Bible really well but only cares about winning? (His whole argument was based on defining the requirements of winning and then stating he won…) Would that reflect the character of Christ? Well… not really… If we look at the one who could actually be the best at debating (Jesus btw), we can see a very different pucture…

[@bobloblaw2958]

Well, we certainly know that Jesus would confirm homosexuality to be the the abomination He called it out to be don't we, and He would without question be on Dr. White's side. But to answer your question about what being a great debater says about Dr. White?, it means he is a great debater.

Nope, your boy got crushed.

Marriage between men and woman and the commandment to multiplicate were given before the 10 commandments - which says to love God and people. The 10 commandments list the rules which if applied will eliminate the other sins.

[@jordanmorales8610]

Graeme is actually correct on the inconsistency between being against homosexuality while also being okay with not having children by choice/contraception. The Reformers saw it that way and all Christians saw it that way until 1930.

[@jordanmorales8610]

I like that White said to not have children is foolishness, but I wish we could be bolder and say it’s sin.

[@amyw7200]

​@@jordanmorales8610 God gave a directive to creation to multiply but not a command. Remember that the Bible says that God opens and closes the womb. You can't declare someone in sin if God has chosen to deny them children.
