The Church is not an event, it is the Body of Christ...Jesus teaches it will be known we are His disciples by our love for each other. In the book of Hebrews we are exhorted to not forsake assembling with one another...

Religion is inescapable when dealing with God. Prayer is a religious practice. If you believe God to be the Creator, you have placed yourself under religious beliefs. Without question Jesus presented a moral code, the Bible speaks to the nature of God and the universe, there is an origin...

Religion a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs. a...

Even within denominations, you can get into the wrong church for you. Pray about it, God will place you where He desires. It is not about being comfortable, it is about being where God desires you to be.

The righteousness of God is imputed through belief in the resurrected Son. Through the Spirit given we love God above all and love others as ourselves. This is walking in the Spirit. Diet or other observances are not required of His children in the new covenant. If one chooses to follow...

This is a weak argument WW...do you believe in sacramental theology also? How about purgatory? The thousand year reign as described by John is given six times within the context...emphasis is explicit. Why would you not take that literal? Also at Jesus ascension the question by the apostles...

What I have noticed is lengthy commentary and false conclusions that lead to...even though the Scriptures do not directly say we have to keep the Sabbath, if you squint hard enough as you read into the white section of the print instead of the ink section, you can kinda see how it is inferred...

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love. - Galatians 5:6 This is what Paul means through his usage. A working faith. Or the work of faith in you. The work of faith is hope. Jesus answered them, "This is the work of...

9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. 11 For the Scripture says, "Everyone who believes in...

I attest that to the cruelty of humanity and not the manifestation of Christ in the believer. So many are quick to judge when we all need to pray for mercy. Honestly that breaks my heart.

Could you please expand on the final statement? Surly you are not claiming a gospel based on works are you?

Again, homosexuality is not apportioned to the ten, but you claim the law is no longer valid. You are the one being inconsistent. Claiming homosexuality is the same as idolatry is grasping at straws. If you want to make a challenge you should be able to withstand the same challenge. You...

Homosexuality is a sin that is not included in the ten. According to your logic, it should be able to be practiced. As well as pride... It is not for the one who loves God to act against Him, yet the Sabbath is for the nation people of Israel.

Good point... The issue rests in the conviction of sin. Once sin is admitted, then spiritual help can be sought. I think the other point of issue rests in the lack of understanding and compassion. Quite a difficult case really. I have seen a real spirit of hatred coming from both sides of...

Lets stick to the subject matter of the OP.

I am sorry, but you are continually mixing the lines here between a legal and a moral issue. You are the one deciding and judging what is "wicked and evil" behavior. Also what is already "normalized" in birthdays is ok with you where what is not "gay weddings" you distinguish against. This is...

So then should reception halls be able to post signs no gay weddings? Can a Muslim baker deny baking a cake for Christian weddings because Christians are infidels and their union not under Islam is wicked? Can a business owner who has religious convictions that all white people are devils...

Firstly I am giving my opinion in a forum, as a Christian, on a specific topic. We are not formulating laws here. I stand where I stand, I do not see any violation of conscience by baking a cake for a wedding, gay or not. Next we already have laws in place that mandate what your conscience...

Wormwood, Your analogy fails. In a previous post I stated, "Now if something grotesque or obscene is requested I can see a reason to deny service, as I would in my line of business also." In this quote I can even add sinful, yet I see nothing sinful in baking or eating a cake. The baker is...
