what is a Christian

A Christian is anyone who Follows and Believes In Christ. You will not find the word Christian in the Bible. Many sects exist in the Christian World but unfortunately they are divided on voting days.

From Paul: "I know that after my departure grievous wolves will enter the flock and some will arise from among you to draw away disciples after them. God knew this would happen and prophesied it by Paul and others. Looking at the trouble, we sink into it: fault finding is not our calling. Taking the board out of our own eye, to help our brother take the speck out of His eye is walking away from bored meetings to put others down: gossip is not uplifting; and trapped in it, you would not be able to go to a meting of Catholics and feel the presence of God among God's people: at one time was not able to either. "This one thing I do, forgetting what is behind I go on"... "That I may know Him and the fellowship of His suffering and be made conformable to His death." The death of our selfish nature, our deliverance from "The lust of the flesh and of the eyes and of the pride of achievement." "You have not hindered me at all, I die daily." Neither do I consider to have attained, but this one thing I do forgetting what is behind I go on"... Turning to the Lord for deliverance from our pride of achievement: to think we are better than others. The mark of a cult is to think they are right and others wrong and that they need to save the church to feel better about themselves. Paul encountered this with the Galatians who were seduced to be under the Law: fallen from Grace, needing to prove themselves to God all over again as if this was possible now that we have Grace. Many Christians have this mind set, I did for years and including the both of you arguing. 20 years ago the Lord showed me that because of how religious I had become, He could not be any closer than He was. At the time was trying to love Him and trying to love my wife and felt like walking out on both of them, but knew there was no where to go and had to let Him change me. This religious achievement, an affront to the finished work of God: "This is the work of God to believe on Him whom He has sent. To know Jesus as our help, that He is with us in trouble and change by being content in relationship with God; to grow up in Love, by His Spirit, a lifelong Journey to enter into rest in God.

What is your opinion on this: Can one be judgemental in regards a sinful practice, such as the act of homosexuality?

You are both imprisoned to quarrelling: Only by pride comes contention." "Pride goes before a fall." When pride comes then comes shame." I've been there in hell as well when you are fed up you will get help.

I usually do not comment on giant posts. They are a sign of bipolar disorder.

"All maner of sin shall be forgiven to man, but rejecting the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven." The Holy Spirit teaches us to Love as God Love's and to forgive." For if you forgive not, neither will your Father in heaven forgive you." If you understood these things you can't aford to be a juddge. You would be the one who can't forvive and be forgiven.

If you do not judge the homosexual act a sinful then you could judge murder as not being sinful. I think you have missed my point: I did not suggest judging a homosexual but the act of homosexuality.

Why do you assume Angels have no children? There is very little wisdom associated with Angels. Modern myths regarding Angels are at the best Science Fiction and they differ from Biblical (proof). There is no evidence to suggest an Angel or even Jesus Christ do not have children. If I was Jesus Christ I would impregnate 333,333 women per day, with angels.

The Meaning of "All manner f sin shall be forgiven to man except rejecting the Holy Ghost," is tied in with, "For if you forgive not neither will your Father in heaven forgive you." So that if we don't forgive we don't learn to Love and remain where we are in our sin. Think of it as God having turned the judgment upside down. "He did not come into the world to judge the world, yet His word judges us by whether we learn of Him, the truth that sets us free. All means "All manner of sin, no exception.

So that I'm not overlooking your question I don't associate with people who are in addiction, and have struggled with addictions to drugs and women. that is as much sin as men addicted to men. I don't despise them I just cant bear it and can't help them presently. That may change when I see God more than dimly, carried by His Spirit.

There is no evidence to suggest that Jesus did have children. Why assume it?

Angels had relationships, and bore children who were called "Bullies". The angels were also called Nephlem, bad angels that saw that the human women were good to look at and came to earth to mate with them. These ones rematerialized and went back to the heavenly realm (Not Hell) but the offspring and the women died in the flood.

I am of the school of thought that does not accept that demonic angels mated with women; we believe that the sons of God relates to the line of God worshipers of Seth's line, and the daughters of men are of the pagan Cain line. This pairing is prohibited, for idolatry is always the outcome, even for the wisest man in the world. Angels are not said to have gender, though they could manifest in human form to carry out the commands of God; elsewhere we are told we will be like the angels, neither marrying nor being given in marriage, which also suggests no gender. Nephilim have many names, but show up numerous times after the flood in Scripture, so they were not wiped out in the flood at all. Some people believe that Nephilim were the progeny of demons and humans, not the angels themselves.
