The Holy Spirit repels sin, not us.

John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can doe nothing.

Phil 4:13 I can do all things through Christ, which strengtheneth me.

And we are healed from sinful thoughts and works by His blood.

1 Pet 2:24 Who his owne selfe bare our sinnes in his owne body on the tree, that wee being dead to sinnes, should liue vnto righteousnesse, by whose stripes ye were healed.

Well, of course we are to have love in our heart. We are to care and have a love for the lost where we tell them the truth. Which means letting them know that their sin will land them in Hell if they do not repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.

Matt 10:16Behold, I send you foorth as sheepe in the middest of wolues: be yee therefore wise as serpents, and harmelesse as doues.

Should we have love in our heart before or after we're done preaching about how "the Sodomites also stole the Rainbow"?

Honey gets more flyes to it, than doth viniger. --G. Torriano, Italian Proverbs, 1666


ChosenbyHim said:

The Bible uses the word sodomite and sodomites to describe men who lie with other men.

Also, guess what else the Sodomites stole?

They stole the bow (rainbow). The rainbow was God's sign of His covenant with Noah and the Earth. The Rainbow is the glorious token of God's everlasting promise and covenant with Noah, the Earth and all Flesh.


8 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
10 And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.
11 And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
17 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth. - Genesis 9:8-17 (KJV)

So the Sodomites also stole the Rainbow.

That is why if you see those abominable pride parades, the sodomites carry a long sheet and flags that have all the colors of the rainbow on it. See how Satan works? Satan wants to pervert and twist every good thing which God has created.

God created sex to be between a husband(man) and a wife(woman). And sex is a good thing within the Biblical guidelines and parameters of marriage only.

So Satan even has perverted Sex. That's why there is the sin of fornication, adultery, incest, sodomy, and other vile sexual perversion and sin.

That verse is from a modern Bible. I can't understand ...

av1611.jpg

Acts 20:21 Testifying both to the Iewes and also to the Greekes, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Iesus Christ.

... because it can't lead anywhere good.

Matt 5:18 For verily I say vnto you, Till heauen and earth passe, one iote or one title, shall in no wise passe from the law, till all be fulfilled.

THE TRANSLATORS TO THE READER.
Sure we are, that it is not he that hath good gold, that is afraid to bring it to the touch-stone, but he that hath the counterfeit; neither is it the true man that shunneth the light, but the malefactour, lest his deedes should be reproved: neither is it the plaine dealing Merchant that is unwilling to have the waights, or the meteyard brought in place, but he that useth deceit. But we will let them alone for this fault, and returne to translation.

I thought on this issue a couple days before posting. Reflecting back 25 years at what has gone
on with the church, one picture kept coming to mind. The picture of modern day Israel with
people saying, "Give up land for peace." And when they don't, they are painted as the "bad guys."
It seems the same spiritual tactic has been used on the church. Homosexuality is just another
piece of land satan is wanting us to let go. When we don't, we get labeled the bad guys.

I keep reading posts by people preaching to "love." Just love people. That wont get them to
heaven. Who has loved people more than Jesus did?? He went out of His way to meet
people, feed them, heal them, wash their feet, etc.....but He never backed down from the word.
Many walked away from Him and He let them walk away.

We aren't to club people on the head with a Bible until they repent, nor are we to become
"false witnesses" by hiding the truth or presenting half truths. Not everyone accepted Jesus.
If people don't like what you stand for, they'll walk away ven when we try to please them in the issues.
Jesus wouldn't try to please them but He would be straight up and honest with them, in kindness
and in love.

Judge not lest ye be jugged. There is only one Judge and we are all held accountable for everything we say or do so be careful on what you say and how you say it lest you cause a brother or sister to fall.

It's actually very simple. Being "gay" is a mental disorder, just like being bipolar or schizophrenic. God made man with certain body parts and women with other body parts, which fit together like a perfect puzzle. If He wanted women to be with women and men to be with men, our body parts and abilities to reproduce would have been planned very differently. Simple, yet made so complicated by the brainwashed society that listens to their emotions instead of using their head. :)

There are a lot of organizations that call themselves "churches" that are NOT part of the One True Church established by Jesus Christ..........."church" is a word.......................The Church is far more than a "word."

True... 'the Church' is TWO words. ;)

So what exactly is 'the One True Church of Christ then?' Is it maybe the universal bond between christians, bound together in Christ Jesus? And who are we to determine whether churches, denominations, communities, congregations etc are a part of that bond or not? We're all branches of the same vine, which is Christ. Only the vine grower, God, decides which branches should be cut off.

(John 15:1-8)

Wow you really are ignorant of the history of the area we know as Palestine/Israel in the 20th Century.

It's like you've never cracked a single history book about it. That's how ignorant that statement is.

Well, I believe all sin separates us from God but I dont believe all sin is equally bad. I dont believe being addicted to caffeine (which indeed is bad) is as abominable as homosexuality. There....I said it. I know people have the attitude that all sin is equally bad and horrendous but I don't share that belief. You think telling a white lie (honey that dress doesn't make you look fat) is as bad as murder? You think stealing a soda from a convenient store is just as bad as molesting a child? Yes, I know all sin is bad in Gods eyes and all sin leads to hell if you don't have a Savior, but a line has to be drawn somewhere....because you cant expect some one to be perfect in order to be a preacher or we wouldn't have any preachers, but you cant just allow anyone to be a preacher either.

We might not find it understandable but God does.
Sin is Sin.
When we start to make some sin...better than another, then it is a 'slippery slope'.
The thing is, man equates sin...justifies some lee and more than others....but God?
Sin is Sin.
And THAT causes us to stop looking out...and start looking in.
God Bless,
Hattie <><

Hi

If you obey all that lot you would have to be one of the walking dead lol
Or are you just trying to put people off being Catholic.


How about the war between Catholic and Protestants (orange and green)

Wow must be no good Catholics in the world

I am joking with you, do not take it so seriously your a long time dead

I have Catholic friends they are not like that. Some of my friends are gay and Catholic others like a drink.

Seen plenty of fat Catholics too.
