Not every church is running on The "Good Side" Some Even are Fraudulent. This is why we are Free to choose where we practice our faith.

I agree! Can't we focus on more Serious problems? The Reason I said Judge Juror and Executioner is I have chatted with so many who seem to be telling me I'm NOT a Good Christian because I won't "Hate" Gays like they do.

I have not seen that on this thread or this forum for that matter? And to a sincere Christian, this issue should be very important if we truly care for our society and our fellow man.

If anyone on this forum has told you that, they are not following Christ, but men, and you can safely determine to reject their counsel, if that is the case.

Everyone focuses on this one sin. At the risk of sounding cliche, don't judge someone because he or she sins differently than you do. Judge someone for being but you cussed someone out on Facebook yesterday. Running around in church all holier than thou but you can't speak to me when you see me at Walmart..... These types of people need to have a seat

We are not called to approve any sin as believers in Christ and yes this sin is clearly a sin that is described in scripture as a sin of a reprobate condition ...do you know what reprobate means?

Ro 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

You people who "claim" to love gays...and support them in their right to sin...don't understand at all what you are doing to destroy these people in their sins.

My point is that if they are so determined to force believers to act against Christ...why should we even think for a moment about money....yes ..if we can make political stand against this nonsense, we should...but in the end we should be ready to suffer for what we believe, if need be?
I agree if can make a stand for churches we should. I still think we shouldn't have to compromise our views or beliefs for our government. Yes! Everyone should be willing to Suffer For Our God!

I never understood the idea that one can't love homosexuals without supporting the sin of homosexuality. Why can't we as Christians love the person but stand firm in witnessing about the wrong that person is doing? Why is love the same as compromise these days?

This arguement will separate the boys from the men and brother against brother.
Btw, i think the all stems from society thinking that we all have to agree to get along. I cant disagree with someone and still be compassionate. Bad part about that is insecure people seek approval. If i dont approve i automatically hate, that's a lie straight from hell

Someone wrote they thought they had not seen any chats saying that Christians hate Gays. OK. This is what I have read. Chatters Say I'M NOT following Christ if I don't ABSOLUTELY Condemn Gays. If I Accept Gay People as One of God's Children I'm a Bad Christian, God DOESN'T approve of Gays,so if I don't judge them I'm Gonna Pay For It, so maybe it isn't Gays some Chatters hate, but ME because I'm Accepting Of All People, NOT their Choices, but People, because they are God's Children. Sorry If I Got It Wrong The 1st Time.

*raises hand* I do.

The word reprobate is from re-probare, to reject on a second trial, hence, to condemn (ref: ἀδόκιμον νοῦν).

Read Jude 1. Now read Romans 1 noting that after rejecting the mind of God, they were given over to a reprobate mind by degrees. First, they were given up to their own hearts’ lusts, Romans 1:24; then, to vile affections, Romans 1:26; and then, lastly, to a mind void of judgment; to such an evil habit, that they could do nothing but evil.

God's law over rides the constitution and personal choice.
So, NO it is not their right.
Unfortunately Worldly Decisions Are Made Here. The U.S. says that HomoSexuals have the right to "marry". They will have to face their Lord with their Choices, just as anyone else. We DON'T have to accept their Choices, but we should Accept them As One Of God's Children.

Karen2, you are making a false assertion. Only those who are born again are children of God (John 1:12; 11:52; Romans 8:16; 1 John 3:1-10).

In Scripture, the lost are never referred to as children of God. Ephesians 2:3 tells us that before we were saved we were “by nature objects of wrath” (Ephesians 2:1-3). Romans 9:8 says that “it is not the natural children who are God's children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham's offspring.”

We become children of God when we are saved because we are adopted into God’s family through our relationship with Jesus Christ (Galatians 4:5-6; Ephesians 1:5). This can be clearly seen in verses like Romans 8:14-17.

You should not accept unregenerate people who reject God's truth and holiness as "God's Children" but rather as lost sinners in need of God's truth, salvation, and sanctification/holiness.


but we should Accept them As One Of God's Children.

I do not see them as God's children. That term is reserved for those who are saved.
They have rejected what God says about their sin and that is not their right.
A true child of God would not live in such sin.

PH, you do vote on the issues correct?
This is what I have to do. My Husband is VERY Pro Republican, but I Don't really like either party I vote for The Politician that DOESN'T look As Shady Or Sleezy as the others. If Anyone believes there are "Honest" Politicians in the U.S., my view is they belong in some sort of Care Facility.
The Politicians don't want to help our country, only themselves. The only way we can change things around is if we actually got a Truthful Politician, and of course that candidate would be considered "Boring & Not With The Times!" That person would have No Chance to be elected!
