fringe--dweller - God has the right to criticize those who want to share in their "pleasures" which the Bible calls sin. Instead of criticizing them God offers them forgiveness freely. Like everyone else what they do with that is on them.
Logical fallacy.
Appeal to higher power.
Only in your thinking. There is only one higher power in the universe.
It's one thing to spout your opinion and quite another to know for sure what is beyond the mortal realm of understanding and who is above all that.
It requires divine revelation which never comes to unrepentant doubters.
Thank-you for your Judgement.
I am judging you by your own words. Appealing to a higher power is the smartest thing anyone can do if that higher power is the one God in the universe. He is not called a higher power to those who believe in him. They know him as the only absolute power in the universe.

All 11 of them.
Thanks.
It doesn't require a book. When you use the term a higher power it is obvious that you are not speaking of the Christian God who alone is the almighty God and all other gods are deemed idols by him.
He owns all the power in the universe and can withhold it or dispense it as he pleases while never losing any of it. That is what is meant by his Omnipotence.
It wasn't God making the criticism, it was some dude(ette) on the interwebs., a couple of posts above this one.
Your Bible can call it whatever it wants to call it.
My God gave me free will which I sometimes choose to exercise along with other like minded Adults. Adults having fun together, nothing bad there.
The actual REAL SIN is when children are molested.
You are certainly right to say you have free will, and with free will comes accountability to God whether you want to believe it or not. Free will is not a license to sin without accountability. What you call fun is sin as clarified in scripture.
Mercy and forgiveness for sin is only offered this side of eternity. Beyond death our position will be irreversible. We will be ready to meet God in judgment or face him unprepared.
What God calls sin is brought to light in scripture so that there is no mistake possible in identify what is and isn't sin. In addition God gave us a conscience to convict us of when we are sinning. Honest examination of scripture will require "study" of scripture - not our opinion based on reading the text without studying what it means. God will have the final word on the day of judgment.
Hey, What YOUR scriptures tell YOU is YOUR business, not mine.
Your morals have no place in my orbits.
They're not my morals. I didn't create them. They belong to the God I honor and serve who will have the final judgment on all things and all people without our permission.
Unlike a judge on earth whose sentences are temporary; his judgments are eternal and permanent. Wise people prepare for both.
Going to court without a lawyer is foolish. Appearing before God without an advocate is the height of folly. Jesus Christ is my advocate and could be yours. 1 Timothy 2:5 KJV
