allowed...not aloud
you seem like a last work kinda guy, so please, feel free to speak it.
my original question was a question, not a demand for knowledge.
i couldn't see what she had done. i had, in fact, forgotten how much you dislike questions of that nature.
for whatever reason.
i asked only the one question. in the first post.

Hi Natania. What a beautiful, pure heart you have!
I used to be MUCH harsher on this whole subject of homosexuality. LET ME BE CRYSTAL CLEAR. Homosexuality IS sin, but I believe if they have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, then one of 2 things will happen. The Holy Spirit will work in them to reveal the sin in their life, and conform them more and more into the likeness of Christ, OR they will eventually be delivered to satan, for the destruction of their FLESH. ( Though if they HAVE indeed accepted the Lord, their spirit will be raised to life on the last day.)
As for me, THIS post by Violet Reigns (AuntieAunt), several years ago, had a profound effect on how I now believe we should deal with not just homosexuals, but all who continue in sin. Love them. Show them Christ in you. And then leave it in the Lord's Hands.
Bruce Jenner is totally grossing me out!!!
Tru dat my brotha!Actually, I've been pondering this situation with God for awhile and am hesitant to respond on here until I'm sure in my spirit that my post will line up with the Word. In the meantime, I'm reading all these various posts and feel something is missing... can't put my finger on it yet though.
I mean, when I was an alcoholic.. when I was a total pot head... when I lived to party and certainly looked the part.... when my mind was saturated with the world... my neighbor, a young blind Christian woman named Mary became my friend. I didn't know why because I wasn't worthy to be anyone's friend as I lived for myself.
Mary didn't preach, didn't try to force scripture down my throat, didn't point out my sins like I was a "filthy sinner" whom she was trying to save from hellfire. She was just this extremely joyful woman who was overflowing with exuberance and peace and.. (here's the clincher!) talked to Jesus like He was standing next to her. Every time I saw her walking her little doggie up the sidewalk, she was talking to Jesus and thanking Him for giving her sight. She was a blind girl. But she was praising the Lord for loving her and letting her see clearly. (Ok, now I'm crying my eyes out remembering that.) \/ Glory to God!
But when Mary talked to me, she just became my friend. I started asking questions about Jesus. Something in my heart (the Holy Spirit, of course) told me I was missing something, I was not whole, I was dark inside and I knew it just being in Mary's presence. She never told me I was lost without the Lord, I KNEW IT!
So you see my plight here. I can't point a finger or throw rocks at others. I don't know how to react to Bruce Jenner's situation. All I know is he ain't happy with himself or with life. Anyone who has to keep trying to win the world's approval does not approve of themselves in their own heart. Nor do they believe God approves of them. So I'll pray and ask the Lord to let Bruce know how much Jesus Christ yearns for him to be set free in his mind and to find rest in the Father's arms of love.
You are attempting to justify their wicked acts, can you not see this. There is no repentance in the heart of those who support this culture. You will be caught up in its net yourself. You are not proclaiming righteousness but contempt for what is right. Sin most surely will "break" a Christian (Luke 13:1-5).
lolzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
Charleston Chew! I forgot all about those!

I highly doubt that.
Know-it-alls never forget anything.
I didn't know that either, but obviously you do. Thanks for sharing.![]()
Of course they can, just as the adulterous can repent and so can all of us fight our temptations (1st Corinthians 6:9-11). The real issue is if they have a sincere desire to repent or a desire to force others to accept their sin as normal. It is not hard to discern between the two. Those who push the acceptance of this wicked culture are but wolves dressed as sheep.I said I would try not to respond but I honestly have a question, not to argue just simply to understand.
Do you think that homosexuals can stop their life style and repent?

Do not be fooled preaching about love, grace and acceptance cannot hide their true agenda. All the beautiful singing in the world will not change evil behavior to godly behavior.
Of course they can,
Hi mind if I answer that with the words of Jesus? Jesus said that if the men of Sodom(homosexuals) had seen the miracles that he did then they would have repented(gave up the homosexual life style). So Jesus point here is that homosexuality is something that a person can turn away from and remain away from.I said I would try not to respond but I honestly have a question, not to argue just simply to understand.

OK, remember, ignorance is bliss, so you must be in an utterly euphoric state. Somehow you think a public forum means that you have to have your inquiries answered. Uh. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nope. It's still none of your business.

According to Romans 2, yes.But the goodness of God draws people into repentance, right?
This is a open forum, your sensibilities are your own. Do not pretend to judge the motives of others but instead the truthful content of their message.Ignorance is bliss.
Guess you're not into going rounds with men?
I dig super duper juggernaut men of God. Awesome.
Preachers for truth...and lacking tact while doing it.

You're welcome, bud.
I know that you're feeling real good about yourself, slamming and taking on some sweet ladies.
Sorry to ruin your moment.
Proceed.
