Hello, brothers and sisters in Christ! I'm nearing the end of my first full year of seminary. However, I'm in need of advice and prayer. Things have been difficult for me, theologically. The Spirit of God is now more strong than ever, but as I prepare to pastor in a church this coming fall...

Heavenly Father, We pray, Your sons and daughters, for our country. We pray that You, in Your Holy Name, through Your blessed Son Jesus Christ, Who died for the sins of the world, Who willingly sacrificed His life for our sake, protect our country, and that You, in Your goodness, lead us in...

Whether or not Donald Trump is a racist is beside the point. The Spirit of God will move people to vote, and whomever they vote for, is a part of God's plan, whatever that is.

Liberals, in my experience, are VERY judgmental. Here in Massachusetts, if the word "conservative" is even mentioned, you should be burned at the stake. Likewise, conservatives are also judgmental, and I'll go along with you and say more judgmental and legalistic than liberals. No one...

It boils down to, also, whether or not owning a gun is a sin. God tells us in the Bible, "Do not murder." Does that mean we shouldn't own a gun? Is it a sign of violence? See, all these questions are very difficult to answer. It makes me sometimes question why I am even a Christian (but...

Thanks. But what I meant was, you don't hear serious conversations about abortions and gun rights because those are issues too "sensitive" to talk about. In my home church in New Jersey, we have a member who is pro NRA and our pastor is very anti-gun and they've had intense disputes. So those...

First, being gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender is NOT a sin. I'm a moderate conservative, and even I know this. Secondly, there are far worse sins—such as a complete rejection of Jesus—that will separate you from God. Thirdly, liberals need to lay off conservatives, and conservatives...

Homosexuality and the LGBT community isn't as "uncomfortable" to talk about as is abortion and gun rights. Abortion is a very sensitive issue. I'll argue it's even more of a sensitive issue than LGBT marriage and LGBT ordination. If you bring up abortion, you're likely to be sent to the...

Hi, all. I'm studying the Church Fathers in one of my classes, and one of the things we need to do as students is form our theology. I'm devoutly Methodist, and thoroughly studied Wesley's theology. I was wondering which of the Church Fathers I should look at, since we need to use them in our...

I sincerely apologize. I was having an awful day. What I said and how I acted was unacceptable. I ask for forgiveness from my brothers and sisters on this forum.

Why can't they just have their own forum, like "LGBT Chistians?"

That should have been explicitly stated in the poll. You made it seemed like ALL members of Christian forums could "promote" homosexuality in the forums. I didn't see it, if you had.

The rules were changed, and now they need to be changed again? Promotion of homosexuality is going to cause problems. Nothing wrong with talking about it. Nothing wrong with welcoming the LGBT community. But already there are threads popping up everywhere about this topic and I'm tired of...

On your poll in the individual forums, you say: "There are two options for the poll: YES: A yes vote means that there would be open discussion of the topics of homosexuality and same sex marriage, in accordance with a few specific guidelines. NO: A no vote means that discussion of...

I've noticed that in a lot of Presbyterian theologians I've been reading in seminary. Many promote holiness and sanctification, such as J. I. Packer and Donald Barnhouse.

And another thing, it's perfectly alright for homosexuality to be "promoted," and shoved down another person's throat, that's legitimate but no one can express if they're married or not? So yeah, I guess the icon does tee me off cause I'm about liberty and individual rights and expression...

I'm not so tee'd off about the married icon as I am about threads keep popping up about this subject. It's getting to be too much. Everywhere I look all I see are LGBT related threads.

Thanks, circuitrider. I was talking mainly about the board, here at Christian Forums. All I see are topics related to LGBT. It's good and all, and they should be accepted in order to worship but for crying out all I don't need to keep visiting here only to see more and more threads on this...

I'm saying this whole homosexual business. It shouldn't even be up for discussion. I mean, we should worry about saving souls instead of focusing on how people identify themselves by gender and who they favor sexually. Christ isn't about that. I just think this whole nonsense should stop and...

I'm Republican. Even I know they've screwed up. The Democrats have forged a dictatorship of the proletariat while the GOP has created a dictatorship of the rich and Wall Street.
