Sadly that is true

Again you seem to have an inability to actually read my response. I have absolute compassion for the Baker and hate that he is having to go through this. But I also know that God can and does use all things to His glory. It very well may be that this Baker is facing these challenges to the...

Did you actually read my post? When I think about situations in life I try to frame my response in terms of what i see Jesus do in scripture. Reflect on the details of this thread and ask yourself honestly - what would Jesus do in this situation? There is not one single example where Jesus...

I agree with the thoughts on this thread but I do take exception to the title of this thread. The title suggests hate for the LGBT person who is acting in ways we consider to be distasteful. I agree it is distasteful but not surprising from someone who doesn't know Christ. Now, I don't KNOW...

Anonymous, I saw your message and was planning to respond very much along the lines of what others on this thread have mentioned. I am truly sorry for the anguish you clearly feel. Know that questioning is OK because questioning leads to growth. As you ask your questions make sure you do so...

Grateful that the Lord is in charge. No matter how chaotic things may seem in our world we have hope of a perfect forever home. I am grateful for forgiveness. Much forgiveness given and, sadly, I know much forgiveness will be required in the future. As much as I would like to completely...

Prayers lifted on your behalf. Through God's provision we have many medical and lifestyle options that can help with high blood pressure. Blessings.

Prayers lifted on your behalf. Blessings to you and your friend.

Scripture gives us examples and it is those examples that illustrate the intention of baptism. Christ himself was baptized - in water. Baptism in the testament was always immersion IN WATER. I struggle mightily why folks are so against participating in water immersion baptism when every...

TRUTH

PREACH IT!

The very idea that there is one special God authorized translation of the Bible is a distraction. The more time we spend arguing about the specific translation or word choice is wasted time that could be used to inspire non-believers toward God. When those who do not know God see Christians so...

Oyster, per the responses apparently not. Within these threads you see aspects of Calvinism, legalism and more. The truth is that coming to a relationship with Christ is very simple. 1. You realize your need for Christ and dependence on Him for your salvation. It seems you are already...

First, I appreciate your openness by bringing your situation to this audience. I agree with some of the comments above but not all. I am saddened by the situation you describe and am further saddened by many of the responses above that seem devoid of love and compassion. Yes, we can have...

It is funny how certain verses are pulled out of scripture which sustain a belief that isn't Biblical. The very idea' judge not lest you be judged' is true but, in context, does not mean that we as Christians aren't to judge. Christians are COMMANDED to judge. The 1 Corinthians 5 citation...

Faith put simply is belief in something that you cannot prove. Faith is not irrational but is based on evidence. Sustaining a basis for faith is the entire focus of Christian apologetics. Ultimately any belief system is based on faith. We cannot prove the existence of God any more than an...

The very premise that we should avoid interacting with someone who is acting sinful is not a Biblical or Christian response. Paul does talk about casting a sinful person out of the fellowship with the church. If we were to take that to its logical end that means ALL OF US would be removed from...

I want to applaud you for being open to ask this question. There is a tremendous amount of vulnerability that comes with putting something this sensitive in front of a group like this. As Christians our job is to approach any topic with grace and love. I do believe most of the posts were...

I am new here and just getting started. As i have walked my Christian journey I became aware of Calvinism and the large number of people that believe in Calvinist doctrine. After much study I just cannot rationalize how someone can read the Bible, understand the nature of God, understand the...

Bingo, thanks for the prayer suggestion. This is a great reminder of how Christians are called to be different. As Christians we remain on this earth to be a blessing to our fellow humans and influence them toward the kingdom.
