The forum was down?

There is not much way anyone can hope to converse with you on a situation if you allude to it under one guise, and then, a few posts later, change the entire scope of that same situation. (BTW, in many heterosexual adoption cases, there often is no access to the original family in order to...

Why did you limit #9, "Healing", the way you did?

This is not the bakery scenario. No one said anything about setting you up by "demanding" anything. Two people bring a sick child and you say that your decision to help rests in your judgment of the people who brought the child? I have to say that is something I just can't get my head around...

Good grief! The rabid obsession to hope to find some sort of "End Times" prophecy in every word you read seems to have eaten some of you alive.

No, even the homosexuals I know in daily life understand that I seldom cater to them (and to being PC) by using the term "Gay" when talking directly with them. But, they also know my door is always open to them when many who stroke them with "Gay" and "Same Sex" platitudes will shut them out in...

Gosh, will you please let us see you walk on water, too?

Well, I have a congregation waiting. Gotta go.

Sadly, I do believe some here WOULD refuse that baby treatment...… and consider themselves as "righteous" for having done so.

God is probably not going to ask if we figured-out the genesis or matrix of Homosexuality during our time on Earth, but rather, "How did you treat the other human beings with this disease that I put in your path?"

With a quarter-century of clinically dealing with people caught in this, I have found countless things that "make" Homosexuals. Too many to point a finger at any particular reason. We are never going to really know in every case, and it really makes no difference if we do, anyway. While we...

Memorize all that well, and maybe God will buy it when you are required to stand before Him.

NO, I am saying "I think", instead of blindly accepting that I am not supposed to notice things like that if I want to be a "good little Christian."

Once on Mount Athos there was a monk who lived in Karyes. He drank and got drunk every day and was the cause of scandal to the pilgrims. Eventually he died and this relieved some of the faithful who went on to tell Elder Paisios that they were delighted that this huge problem was finally solved...

I guess you missed the fact that the father in that parable had no idea his son had repented when he went running to him and started kissing him. We have no idea where a queer is in his relationship with God. It is OURSELVES we need to be concerned with, and whether we are doing as Jesus would.

Embracing a hurting sinner is not accepting the sin. The Bible says that before He spoke a word to the Rich Young Ruler, Jesus looked at him, and LOVED him. And that guy was breaking at least two of the 10 commandments.

The review is on the way.

And, I say that to the callous ones, "Yes" we often have to be blunt while making sure that they feel comfortable knowing that we will still continue to be no more than a phone call away.

Dr. Larry Crabb wrote a book with that same name, "Connecting". It is reviled by some "Christians", but it was a beautiful gift from a Psychologist friend, and I have found it so worthwhile. I have a seven-page review of it if anyone would like to read it.

You see, it is the "agenda" of which you are speaking there at the end, and I will resist that forever. But. If a gay person asks me to try to understand the actual (to them) love they feel for another of the same sex, I honestly don't think I could generate enough callousness to tell them they...
