"The point is not giving them preferred status and condoning their open perversion. " - religusnut -- Exactly correct The Bible says, "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness;" - Isaiah 5:20

Yes, it has. I am in Fargo, ND and we have local churches in the area that allow homosexuals to be pastors and they do not even have to promise to be celibate. The simple truth is this: "Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."...

As far as witnessing goes, I believe much of it has to do with what God wants to do in a specific person's life at a specific time. The key to witnessing is praying beforehand that God has the people He wishes us to witness to cross our path that day. We should also pray for wisdon and...

People who say that homosexuals are being "attacked" miss what is actually going on. It is the Christians who are being attacked for not supporting the homosexual agenda. They are called "bigots" and "homophobes" because they refuse to refute what the Bible says about homosexuality...

"You stick up for the horrible thing religusnut said to me, yet you think that I should of got in the middle of yours and Watchman writings to each other." - Anastacia -- How quickly they forget. You offered your opinion on my "rudeness' unprompted. A quick perusal of this thread will show...

Wow, I wish I had put on my boots before I read rjp's post. Should you pay the taxes required by your government? Yes. Are the churches afforded by law a tax exemptions? Yes Are your tithes and offerings to those churches tax exempt? Yes Not liking those facts is not automatically make those...

Acknowledging that there are people in your immediate or extended family are gay does not alter God's view on the practice. They are loved by God as much as we are, but - just like us - they have to turn away from sin and give their lives to Jesus to be saved.

-- "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesars.." - Jesus (Matt 22: 20-21) Unless you really think that disobeying a directive from Jesus ISN'T a sin.... :)

Jesus said "No one will see the Father but through me." Jews, Muslims and some people that call themselves Christians don't believe that. According to the Gospel, they are incorrect.

-- I was born and raised Catholic and understand where you are coming from. I would let you know that in the Christian community - even among Penticostals - a number of these stances by the Catholic church are not seen as Gospel. Song of Solomon would tend to agree with that. The enjoyment of...

But you will not that God tdid not leave the relationship between them barren. So if a homosexual says "It is not okay for us to have anal sex, but it is alright for a married couple to have anal sex?" how would you respond? What scripture would you use to parse that?

-- That is the exact same doctrine that I believe, yet you have no problem with Watchman damning me completely with the unbelievers. Instead of saying what he says is wrong, you just call ME rude. I am no more rude than you are on this thread. "Tongues were probably stilled some time after...

-- I understand your point, but those who support the homosexual lifestyle would likely ask two questions. 1. Does that mean that if there was a way to prevent all sexually transmitted diseases that God would support this activity? Because God gave similar directives such as not eating pork...

"There is a reason why the act of homosexuality should not be condoned. Studies have shown that the rate of STDs are higher among those who practiced homosexual activities. According to research studies..." -- Selene -- But even if that was not a fruit of that activity, the mere fact that God...

"Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy. For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries with his spirit." - 1 Cor 14:1-2" -- And when, pray tell, did this message from...

It would seem that you are the one again needing to be corrected. The scriptures DO NOT say what you think they do. Setting aside the very fact that speaking in tongues and prophecy are taking place as we speak, what you say Paul is trying to say is incorrect, and blatantly so. You are...

-- I know a gentleman who is a pastor a member of the ELCA (Evangelical Lutheran Church in America). They have recently voted to allow gay men and women to be pastors in their Churches. He states that this is alright because Jesus never spoke out against homosexuality so it must be okay. I...

Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, 'Who is the LORD?' Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God." -- Prov. 30: 8-9

-- I think that is more because adulterers, shot lifters, tax cheats, etc. are not seeking special status from the government, demanding that their practices be taught and sanctioned in schools, or demanding hate crime legislation to punish anyone who speaks out against their practices. Just...
