-- Actualy, this ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ is one of the reasons Christian argue. A single person thinking they can speak for the feelings and motives of ALL OTHER Christians while trying to give the impression he himself is somehow above that shortcoming. Amusing, at best. .

-- LOL What exactly have I "preached" Texus? Or, more importantly, how exactly am I not practicing what I preach? Specifics would be a pleasant change. This is the second time you have made an accusation. The first time was the accusation of 'hypocricy' which you still haven't backed up...

"The HS should be fully withdrawn in all Christians if "exposure to filth" causes that. Sorry but this entire world is fallen and you won't avoid exposure to it, will you? So that must not be the case, hmmm?" - Texus -- So now you want to move from an amicable discussion to confrontation? Why...

Texus, I have read your entire response to me (and I encourage others to do so, as well). You are convinced that the Holy Spirit inside you has no problem with you listening to songs about raunchy sex with multiple partners, drug use, committing of crimes, misogyny and dehumanizing of women...

My scripture actually came from Psalm 101. Serves me right for going from memory. "I will set no worthless thing before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away; It shall not fasten its grip on me." - Psalm 101:3 -- Simple observation. Why would he "have no worthless thing" before his...

-- Feel free to do what you wish Tex...but I would differ with your opinion. "I will set before my eyes no vile thing. The deeds of faithless men I hate; they will not cling to me. Men of perverse heart shall be far from me; I will have nothing to do with evil." - Psalm 103: 3-4 This...

-- I agree. My concern is the influence that the non-Christian themed music can have on Christians. I grew up listening to Aerosmith, Foreigner, REO Speedwagon, Journey, The Who, etc. and continued to listen to them even after I became a Christian. I found that the themes of their music...

"The reason why you woudl have to be mentally ill to kill yourself is because self preservation is something that all living things have and the prolonging of life is something that all living things have built into them to do." - Templar -- You couldn't be more wrong. I have known people -...

I am curious as to the purpose of discussing this person. Either he did it or he didn't. If he did then he needs to repent, ask forgiveness from God and his congregation and step down. .

Render unto Caeser that which is Caesar's. If the law states the possessing or smoking of pot is illegal, the whole "everything God made is good" argument goes right out the window.

-- The whole "representive themselves as Christians" reallly IS the problem. There are scores of churches and organizations whose beliefs and agendas run completely counter to what Jesus calls Christians to be. In my state we have ELCA churches that support the ordination of gay clergy as...

Music itself is a gift from God. But like his other gifts (sex, for example) it has been perverted by man, Music also has a spiritual power to it. It has the ability to uplift, anger, offend, soothe, motivate, unite, divide, and heal. When that power is perverted to promote the...

Do you have the names of those churches or organizations or are they individuals?

"For some reason - and probably the physical aspect - homosexuality is consistently singled out." - Hammerstone -- I believe that you are mistaken. In my church we have an active jail ministry, alcohol and drug abuse ministry, family abuse ministry, recovering from divorce ministry, seniors...

-- The issue I have with your post Josh is that you seem to be making a blanket accusation that includes all Christians and how they witness to homosexuals. Westboro doesn't fit into that category and I know of no one else currently using that method to interact with homosexuals.

-- Of course you don't have to defend yourself. Especially when you haven't lived up to what you said you were going to do: "I have decided that God is more concerned with me spending my free time loving and serving others rather than posting on this board so I want to let everyone know that...

"You are absolutely right I am judging. But who am I judging? I am judging those people who call themselves Christians." - Josh -- So you are qualified to judge....but no other Christian is...because judging is wrong.... That about right? LOL Did you hurt yourself with that one?

-- Bias? This from the guy who said, " But when the person who opposes a homosexual, and then goes out and votes for prop 8 - they have crossed the line between opinion and violating a person's rights." – Aspen Nope. No bias there LOL Clueless yet opinionated is no way to go through...

"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." - Mark 16:15 KJV -- The gospel states that we are all sinners but that Jesus died to pay the price for our sins. It teaches that all we have to do is TURN AWAY FROM OUT SIN, accept Him as your personal...

-- Here we go again... You obviously haven't read through the majority of the "Christian 'gay bashing'" thread. You are also making an unfair generalization. The reason it seems that homsexuality is being "singled out" is because it is the only sin whose practicers are militantly pushing...
