Chapter and verse please. Do I take it that your non response means that there is no support in scripture for your position?

To know that you have to study the whole revelation of sexuality in scriptures. I have done this and the overall conclusion is that all sex outside the marriage of a man and a woman is sinful. That covers, fornication, adultery, sodomy, paedophilia, sex with animals, rape, homosexuality or...

I am sorry brother but you have missed the point entirely so let me put it another way. The African and other persecuted churches have proved that you do not need to spend millions on buildings, pay large salaries, have flash programmes, avoid challenge and commitment to change the world...

I don't doubt that would be the sentiment of many Christians. Unfortunately, the message for some reason is not getting across to the homosexual community. They have this idea that if you are against homosexuality you are automatically against them which may not have a skerrick of truth to it...

You will have to help me here with this comment. As I am autistic I can't read between the lines so your point is lost to me.

Thankyou for your concern brother, but you have nothing to fear. I have found time and time again very clear evidence of the teaching and practice of deliverance. The verse you quoted is not relevant as it is addressed to those who practised lawlessness which means illegality or a violation...

I am glad I posted this subject as the replies have been interesting and informative and several relevant comments have been made. The church is many faceted and has many expressions so we cannot make a blanket coverage of the topic. I think I did say some Christians as I did not say all...

So true and it is a very important fact. Free will is a two edged sword as we can choose good or bad and if we are confronted with the bad, we can choose to continue in it or give it up. The sad thing is that the homosexual movement has bought into the lie that they are born that way. That...

It is interesting how the church is divided into the haves and have nots. In western democracies, the church has everything. Expensive buildings, new cars, nice suits, big incomes (comparatively), big staff who are paid wages, flash programmes. I have been doing a lot of reading lately about...

In a word, he didn't. He had a very effective healing ministry and God showed him he was being motivated by rejection. When he was delivered of it, he was even more effective because he was doing it for different reasons. The church where all this happened was a charismatic Brethren, one that...

FYI, when I was doing my theological degree, I was taught that what was not said could be as authentic as what was said. But then, what would my learned friends know? As a matter of interest, everyone's doctrine is wrong...somewhere, for the simple reason that none of us believe the bible is...

I am not sure where this will end up, but I thought that it would do no harm to raise the subject as it happens all the time in the church. Essentially, the church is a haven for the wounded. If we are all born in sin and for many, sin is dominant in their lives, although born again, we are...

Very often, we do not know what the word of God means until we act on it. Then we can say as Peter said on the day of Pentecost "This is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel..." As an aside someone once said "If this isn't that, I will keep this until I get that." A good ministerial friend...

G'day Shepherd Boy. You may be surprised that I have no problem with what you have said. You say that you have not noticed rejection in every case. When discussing such a subject in a public forum, one has to for brevity sake deal in generalities. I know there are exceptions to every rule, but...

A very good comment dragonfly and I would like to add to it if I may. Salvation happens at all different ages. Sometimes as a child, sometimes as an adult. Prior to that, we have all been born in sin and we bring with us the baggage that goes with that. If God was to clear us out all in one...

Just as an aside, Jesus did speak about polygamy and homosexual marriage as these verses show. Matt 19:4 But answering, He said to them, Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning "created them male and female"? Gen. 1:27 Matt 19:5 And He said, "For this reason a man shall...

How is this for an idea. In Genesis, God told man to go forth and multiply. He didn't say go forth and add. To multiply needs more than one wife. Now, the idea posited is that in the early days of creation, there was no disease as sin hadn't had the time to infect the earth with it, so in...

I have been a christian for 58 years. During that time I have been used by God along with a few others to bring revival to a church and I was in fellowship at a church for 10 years that experienced revival for 30 years. In 1976 whilst I was at this church, I was delivered of a spirit of...

The truth is, yes and no. All manifestations can be a manifestation of the Holy Spirit and all manifestations can be the work of satan. What determines one or the other is the outcomes. I will give you an example. I have heard many people say that what is happening at Toronto is of the devil...

As you did not quote this verse in your original post on the topic, I don't know how you expect me to know what you were getting at, especially as I am not a mind reader. At the same time, I am autistic and don't have the ability to read between the lines. We take everything at face value and...
