We need to stop judging and start loving...not condoning ones sin, we all need to be held accountable...Matt 18- 1 cor 5 but that should even be done in LOVE and all for the purpose of restoration between God and others...hence my name
MATT22:37-39 -
Scarlet no one said God is fine with it, no one is condoning their sin...but what is happening in the CHURCH today is people who are saved judging others who are and determining which sins are worse than others...the bible is clear about how to confront someone living in sin...but it seems some sins are an "abomination" while others are not...the homosexual should be treated the same as the fornicator, adulator, divorce unblically etc. i the church...are you helping this person draw closer to God or are you condemning them without knowing all the facts and making assumptions.
The problem real in the church is they are too legalistic or too liberal therefore do not know how to RIGHT DIVIDE THE WORD, much less apply it.
Matt 18 and 1 cor is clear on how to go about church discipline. -
Where do some of you people draw the line at ? No wonder the world looks at some people and say's if they are going to heaven then i don't have a thing to worry about. What's next gay pastors ? after all, we can counsel him, he's just a carnel christian. What communion hath light with darkness. As one old Elder use to say, If the professed saved man continues in gross sin, he needs to dig a little deeper till he hit's the rock.

But if a man comes to our church and says "I'm a sinner and I'm gay." or "I'm a Christian but I was gay and continue to battle that sin but I know that it is wrong and I will not enter into that lifestyle again, God willing." then we have something to work with. -
EXACTLY....that is what I have been saying, and I've said it many ways, but some will never get it because of their PREJUDGING

When I refer to homosexuals that includes lesbians as well...funny how many think two men is an abomination, but two women...well....lol
Either way, love and accountability done right can do wonders! -

Here is Peter's counseling to the wicked. Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. For i perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity Acts 8:21-23.

Hey, if you can find something I said wrong, I'd love to hear cause I'm all about truth and facts....;)

I know people in and out of the church who are gay...men and women. I just find it ironic or sad actually that the church condemns one sin over another...fact is unless the church gets back to OBEYING God's word and not just preaching it....there will be sin abound in it...no matter what the sin is....so either Christians TREAT all Christan the same or shut up about the LIES Satan uses through them...can't have it both ways....that is the TRUTH!

BTW, I looked up and more than one source says I am right...didn't take genius to figure that one out....;)
