    Lord's Day

    It really doesn't matter what I say to this question. You and I will continue to disagree even if I answer this question.

    Lord's Day

    Like I said there are going to be those who disagree. I certainly don't agree with what a lot of people have to say about what exactly "The Lord's Day" is. By the way, Jehovah's Witnesses are not a denomination of Christendom.

    Lord's Day

    The context of Revelation 1:10 shows that “the Lord’s day” is not a particular day of the week. Since it was “by inspiration” that John came to be “in the Lord’s day,” that doesn't mean some particular day of the week. It would not have been necessary for John to have been inspired to come to a...

    Homosexuality Being Accepted And Embraced By Christians

    John Paul said: I don't care what you think of me, or what Bible verses you post on here regarding gays, perhaps you are a homosexual sympathizer, and no I'm not judging God just being in accordance with his law. I will never be accepting of homosexuality or incest, murderers, rapists, and...

    Homosexuality Being Accepted And Embraced By Christians

    As I said the Apostle Paul had God's Holy Spirit backing on how he handled this situation in the Corinthian Congregation. So you Judging the Apostle is you judging God. That's what I see about you. That's you being all about hate JohnPaul. Like I said the Apostle Paul disfellowshipped this man...

    Homosexuality Being Accepted And Embraced By Christians

    In the scriptures the Apostle Paul was inspired to write to the Corinthian Congregation. One of the things the Apostle Paul was dealing with was a Christian man in the Corinthian Congregation was practicing sexual immorality with his father's wife. Since God is the one that inspired Paul to...

    Homosexuality Being Accepted And Embraced By Christians

    What I see about people who say that homosexuals should be put to death is that they're always mentioning that the law covenant is saying that those who practice homosexuality are to be put to death, which is true, but the law covenant also say that those who sleep with their mother who's their...

    Homosexuality Being Accepted And Embraced By Christians

    I was simply saying we don't put people to death because they don't live by the true God standards. People are always mentioning how homosexuals should be put to death because God said that in the law covenant. But the law covenant also said that anyone who was an adulterer is to be put to death...

    Homosexuality Being Accepted And Embraced By Christians

    The scriptures show a person has to repent of the sins they're practicing and begin practicing the True God standards. You can't remain a practicing homosexual if you wish to be one of the True God's servant and be in his kingdom.

    Homosexuality Being Accepted And Embraced By Christians

    Homosexuality is what a Christian is suppose to hate, not the human being Jesus Christ died for. While it's true anyone can come to the meetings unless you have been baptized you're not a true Christian. You don't baptize anyone who is practicing any form of sin. In this post we're talking about...

    Homosexuality Being Accepted And Embraced By Christians

    Actually the death sentence for breaking a commandment of the law covenant applied only to the nation of Israel. The law covenant when given by YHWH God, was given only to the nation of Israel. YHWH God didn't give it to Israel and the Gentile nations. So when the law covenant was done away with...

    Homosexuality Being Accepted And Embraced By Christians

    As I said everyone is welcome to the meetings. It's only those who are baptized members of the congregation who are disfellowshipped. To be honest no practicing homosexuals are in our local congregation that I know of. Most learn very quickly that true Christians will not baptize practicing...

    Homosexuality Being Accepted And Embraced By Christians

    Barney Bright said: They are allowed to sit anywhere in the congregation. What it means when a person who is disfellowshipped and he/she comes to the meetings is that no baptized Christian will shake his/her hand or say a greeting to him/her they won't even speak to them. Also if a baptized...

    Homosexuality Being Accepted And Embraced By Christians

    If these homosexuals are not baptized members of the church then they're not part of the churches fold. Homosexuals can't be baptized members of the fold until they repent and stop practicing homosexuality. It's only members of the fold, meaning baptized members of the church that are to be...

    Homosexuality Being Accepted And Embraced By Christians

    That's what the elders are for. They from time to time speak with those who are disfellowshipped to see if they are repentant of the sins they were disfellowshipped for and ready to live again by the standards that God requires for his people. Many are not repentant but some are. The elders are...

    Homosexuality Being Accepted And Embraced By Christians

    We go out and preach to all unbelievers about the Messianic kingdom that Jesus Christ is king of. How they choose to respond to that message is their choice. So they hear the good news of the kingdom.

    Homosexuality Being Accepted And Embraced By Christians

    QUOTE="Cassandra, post: 1226187, member: 13210"]@BARNEY BRIGHT Did anyone say anything about close associates? no one asked you to hang around with an unbeliever. But you can help them perhaps get back right with God. We are talking about helping a fellow human with their salvation. You should...

    Homosexuality Being Accepted And Embraced By Christians

    Those who are disfellowshipped are those who are baptized individuals who have began living contrary to the standards of living that the scriptures say a Christian is to live. If God tells you not to steal, you don't steal. If God tells a married person they are not to be having affairs then...

    Homosexuality Being Accepted And Embraced By Christians

    I agree with what the True God says in the scriptures. Psalm 15:1-4 tell us who God considers his friends, therefore those who are his friends I make my close associates. 1 Corinthians 15:33 tells us that bad association spoils useful habits. So those who are a bad influence I don't make them my...
