These are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm; for them the deepest darkness has been reserved. For they speak bombastic nonsense, and with debased desires of the flesh they entice people who have just escaped from those who live in error. They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption, for people are slaves to whatever masters them. For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overpowered, the last state has become worse for them than the first. For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment that was handed on to them. It has happened to them according to the true proverb, “The dog turns back to its own vomit,” and, “The sow is washed only to wallow in the mud.” (2 Peter 2:17-22, NRSVue)
They are people who lead others astray.
I get called this all the time because I point out to those who use the 6 clobber texts to hold those in the LGBTQIA2S+ community as outside God’s love they are interpreting the texts incorrectly. I am told I need to repent and do what God has called us to do and live by the word.
I have read those texts and looked at the meanings of the original texts and will say again here those texts are about power and control and men in power using that power to take what they want from anyone. It is not about homosexuality or who someone loves.
People espouse bombastic nonsense. They lead people astray.
God shows us all love.
We are called to love.
Do not speak bombastic nonsense. Speak love.
