Yes I am.

You are obviously not understanding what I am saying in post number 51.

YOU personally are not Holy via what you have done or how you live day to day. None of that 'makes' you holy in the eyes of God. If it did then no one in the OT would have needed the blood of bulls and goats ...

Every one of us is holy in the eyes of the Lord BECAUSE of what JESUS did.
If you...by the things you do or do not do, do not earn brownie points from God...

You posts come across as if you are righteous by your choices and actions.

But by the grace of God..you, me, and anyone else is found clean in the eyes of the Father. Through the blood of Jesus. ✟

The verses you quote above are to 'us' IN CHRIST...not we ourselves . ( which He sees as dead , and we should too)

I believe that we are made righteous (Romans 5:19) through faith in the blood of Christ; and that this will work itself out practically in our lives (1 John 3:7).

So it is not that I am holy because I live holy; it is that I live holy because I am holy.

There may indeed be genetic factors that drive a person towards same-sex attractions. (Somehow I am a happily married heterosexual even though my biological father is homosexual).

The fact that genetic factors may have a part in orientation does not make the practice of homosexuality any less of a choice; just as we have all inherited sin from Adam and certain races are more inclined to specific sins (which gives breed to stereotype) so that certain types of sins are inherited from the fathers. Should I then excuse myself for being an alcoholic, if, for example, my ancestry is Irish? or, should I excuse myself for being a gang member if I am of Mexican descent?

Genetic predisposition therefore cannot be utilized as a defense on the day of judgment. God calls homosexual behaviour an abomination; and in order to therefore practice it without great affliction in the conscience, one would have to shut out of one's mind the reality of what God has said on the matter; thus hardening one's heart to the Holy Spirit and anything else, also, that the Holy Spirit might say to him.

Of course I forgive you JohnPaul. BTW-I have remained single and celibate for decades and am more than content. I love The Lord above all else and I know He loves me too. I seek HIM everyday, not what I can get FROM Him but just, Him.

Jesus was not a homosexual, God forgive for putting the Lord's name in the same sentence with the word homosexual.

Hebrews 2:17-18
17" For this reason He had to be made like His brothers in every way, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, in order to make atonement for the sins of the people. 18 Because He Himself suffered when He was tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted."

He was tempted in the same way's we are tempted but, praise God, He always gives us a way out

Thank you for forgiving me my beautiful dear sister, sometimes we speak without thinking, I would never want to hurt your feelings or make you feel bad, I’d rather die before doing that.

Next time I’ll think before I speak.

Have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year @Nancy.

What are you talking about? I didn't ask if Jesus was a homosexual. You're not making sense.

You did not answer the question. I'll repeat the question.

You wrote: Wow Nancy I didn’t know, please pray to God, homosexuality is a sin, please sister grasp your inner most self, God made man and women to procreate.

I wrote: Was God disappointed that Jesus didn't marry and have kids?

Can you, will you answer the question; or should I give up trying to hold an adult conversation with you?

Jesus had another purpose here on this Earth and it was not to marry or have kids, you know that.

Thanks for answering. That means your former statement that "God made man and women to procreate" is not true for everyone.

You know what I meant, two of the same sex can’t procreate.
Sorry, I can't read your mind. If you want people to understand you, please write what you mean. I don't assume I understand your words better than you do yourself.

I was also perplexed by why you had "man" singular and "women" plural? I wondered if you were talking about polygamy. If God wanted a man was to have lots of children, having several wives would make sense. A "man" in a polygamous arrangement could do more procreation than a man with only one wife. You confuse me.

Man should've been plural, that was a typo.

Homosexuality is a mental illness and should be treated as such, they need to be treated by psychiatrists and specialist, but you can no longer do that, back in the day you could.

God created nothing more beautiful than the female, without whom we can not exist.

Sick indecent deviant behavior.
That is true, the Satanist have worked to turn the whole apple cake upside down, a true Christian can see the works of such being played out over the years.
All degenerates are touted as to be looked up to such maggots, or you are not Politically correct if you do not follow the trend set by such clowns.

All Gay people are possessed by Satan in fact and that's clear.

I think the keyword that has been mentioned is PRIDE. They are proud of being homosexual (not gay) and they are proud of sticking two fingers up at God. And they are proud of making life difficult for those who do not bow the knee to them.

The fact is, that is nothing to be proud of. They should call it a Shame March, not a Pride March. As we all know pride goes before a fall. All those homosexuals out there who have swallowed the propaganda of the homosexual mafia are heading for a fall.

With transgenders, it is happening more quickly. They are detransitioning or committing suicide because they have found that there is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow changing their sex. So far 40% of transgenders have killed themselves. Those that are pushing the transgender idea should be charged with manslaughter.

The homosexual that commits suicide does so because of the great life he has been promised by the liars of the homosexual movement discovers that it is a false way of life and provides nothing but heartache.

The only answer to all this is the truth. The church stupidly has got into bed with them and said there, there, it is alright we understand your problems and you are welcome to join us and bring your sin with you.

If its the truth that sets us free and it is, then we cannot speak lies to make them feel good. They need to see that the way they live is sin and that Jesus will provide what is necessary to forego that sin and the reason why he does this is because he loves them.

It will not help them one little bit to say "We love you, go and sin some more."

I found over the years I was involved with ChristianForums.com that homosexuality was being more and more accepted and treated as less than a sinful lifestyle as clearly taught in Romans. If it hasn't happened already, I would predict that it won't be long that members will be accused of "flaming" and receive official warnings from the staff if they come out and say that homosexuality is a grievous sin and needs to be repented of if one is to be admitted into the kingdom of God. They are already giving official warnings to those posting the truth about Islam, LDS, and Roman Catholicism from the Scriptures. So even if the Scriptures are quoted to show the false doctrines of these religious groups, those who post opinions based on Scripture are accused of flaming the faith of other members. Therefore it seems that balanced discussion based on the truth of Scripture is becoming a thing of the past in some areas of that forum.

It's ever so curious how some people qiluote the Bible to support their stance, but always Cut off one verse short. What does 1 Cor 6:12 say?

And you miss what Titus 3:5 says. It's a verse that speaks more of Grace and mercy.
You stated earlier...

My stance on homosexuality is that it is a sin

But now suggest it is simply not expedient? Since when has sin been "not expedient"? As if it is simply an inconvenient option?
The only sin that is ever covered by grace is the sin that is forsaken completely.
