Fisking a Turnip, Part 3: Never Go Full AntiChrist

Operation Valkyrie continues its reposting of Twitter user (((RedeemedUberYude))) as he gives Ryan Turnipseed and the Mahlerites as thorough of an examination as they pretended to give the Large Catechism, but without the demagoguery and a lot less slander.
Ryan’s video with the Mahlerites can be found here:

Let's skip ahead:

31:10+ MAHLER: "Homosexual lust: it is sinful to have that desire. It is sinful to give in to that desire."

Mahler preaches that just HAVING the desire to commit this sin is sinful. Mahler vs. Scripture AGAIN:
Hebrews 4:14-16 Jesus was tempted in EVERY way w/o sin.

31:30+ MAHLER: "There is no circumstance under which homosexual desire is NOT sin."

vs.

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. — Hebrews 4:15 ESV

More Turnip silence.

[EDIT: In his Twitter thread, (((RedeemedUberYude))) has repeatedly made the point in law and philosophy: “He who is silent is understood to consent” As the Mahlerites come under increasing public scrutiny for their positions, Ryan Turnipseed is backpeddling like mad claiming that just because he hosted them, agreed with them, gave them a platform, and never rebuked them, HE himself is never to be touched by the condemnation falling on Mahler’s heretics.
Back to our regularly scheduled fisking.

So, either Jesus was a sinner, in which case we're all damned,
or Scripture is false, in case we have no source to guide us
or Mahler and those who agree with them are heretics, and we can preach God's forgiveness to those with homosexual desires and heterosexual desires alike.

The Large Catechism is true.

Jesus's own words condemn this heresy of self-excusing hypocrisy. In Matt 18:7 and Luke 17:1 Jesus calls temptation "temptations TO sin". Temptation alone is never called a sin in all of Scripture. Romans 1:24-25 describes homosexual desire as a punishment for idolatry, not as sin itself. The Bible explicitly calls homosexual activities, along with bestiality, prostitution, and many other activities, sins, but nowhere does it call a desire a sin.

Mahler is lying, and he's condemned by Hebrews 4:14-16 and 1 Cor 10:13, which the Large Catechism preaches truly.

31:50: "God does not make anyone homosexual, so let's just foreclose that avenue." -Mahler with Ryan's tacit approval.

Compare w/ God's word in Romans 1

18 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.

26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
— Romans 1:18-27 ESV

God DOES give people up to this desire, and that does nothing to negate the power of the cross above it (1 Cor 6:9-11, 1 Cor 10:13).

31:53 @TurnipMerchant [Ryan Turnipseed] lets Mahler preach without objection that our nature is good (lie) and a source of morality (lie: Eph 2:1-5), so we can use nature > God's word to determine sin (lie of idolatry Romans 1).

More heretical stumbling blocks Ryan "won't" be held accountable for…

I need to stop and point out here that if Ryan and two blatant heretics parse every word of the Large Catechism without mercy or integrity, that is "honest", but if Ryan's post RECEIVES parsing every word to Scripture, that is some sort of attack.

But I have 2.5 more hours to fisk.

Now, Ryan was, thirty minutes in, still in "I have to cool down" mode from Matthew 7:1-5 applying to him regarding people he hates.

So who could blame him for giving minute after minute to ten times the heresy as long as the Mahlerites were Big Mad along with him?

Here at Operation Valkyrie, we would like to point out that it only took three cricicisms of the Large Catechism essay about the 6th Commandment before the Mahlerite positions reach the pinnacle of heresy. In order to maintain their self-righteous pride relative to the grievous sins of child sexual abuse, homosexual activities, and transsexual behaviors, Mahler has set a standard that would utterly destroy the Gospel of Christ. It is the position of an antichrist to seduce his followers away from the Gospel. It is worth repeating that Corey J. Mahler’s position on homosexual desires are incompatible with scripture. If Jesus had them, and having the temptation is a sin in and of itself, then we no longer have an innocent Lamb of God who can suffer for our sins. He would have to die for his own. If Jesus did NOT experience homosexual sins, then Scripture is broken when it says that none of us expreinces a temptation that isn’t common to man (1 Corinthians 10:13) or when it says that we have a Great High Priest who can sympathize with us because he has been tempted like us in every way (Hebrews 4:15).

Not only is it loathsome, hateful, proud, and divisive, but Mahlerist attacks on the Large Catechism are based on outright heresies: beliefs that place a believer outside of the fundamental creeds that define Christianity (the Apostle’s Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Athenasian Creed) to say nothing of being outside the Lutheran Confessions. The assumptions and positions that Corey J. Mahler and his ilk take ultimately attack the cross and its power for all sinners, including ourselves. Therefore it is to be opposed and publicly condemned whenever it is encountered.

To be continued…
