"without natural affection" does not have a thing to do with homosexuality," "The phrase “without natural affection” comes from one Greek word (astorgos) that is found in only one other place in the Bible– Romans 1:31. It means exactly what it says, “unsociable”, “unloving”, “inhuman”. It is...

Hello Drive, Welcome to the forums here. Mental health is all but shunned by the "church". Many fall through the cracks and these, who need fellowship and welcoming in the family of God even more so IMHO...are left behind. That pastor was not a true shepherd IMHO. I have a story MUCH like...

Even though there is much I have learned from Epi, you do have good points sister...I believe he is sincere in what he believes/teaches. I cannot say I agree one hundred percent with anyone. But, we have discernment (if we do) and can filter the things we do not agree with and learn from the...

Thank you John! Such clarity...did not know this was speaking of the Samaritans. I thought they DID serve the same God and that the only reason the other Hebrews hated them was because of their blood line but, I now se there is much more to the story. :Bestest:

"...which should then lead to….?" The NEW MAN to prepare to be built upon this righteousness we are taught to have...? Otherwise we are trying to build still, from our flesh (old man)...JM2C :)

True dat!

Yeah, folks love to create their own god. Oh yes, for sure our God will manifest and not in a really nice way, despite the church and her outcry. Most folks are just fine where they are; sitting under false teachers basically telling them it is okay to sin. SMH :(

Wish we had a plus 1 emoticon...! Ever since Cable "News" came on the scene, the "real" News was cancelled. the talking heads say what they are told regardless of the truth. Or, they would be fired. Bought and sold, the lot of them.

Do not know why but, I think what is in the little book are sins...can give you momentary pleasure but the end thereof is death...?
