    Can you be a Christian and a practising homosexual and still be saved?

    Ok, I think I get your point. Are you saying that the thief on the cross could have been a practicing homosexual, heard the words of Christ and been saved, then died and went to paradise with The Lord. And after being saved he could have had lustful thoughts towards another man but he had not...

    Can you be a Christian and a practising homosexual and still be saved?

    Ahh, so the eternal God only actually said the parts that our wicked hearts agree with through the lens of our 21st century westernized ideals. That is convenient hermeneutic. Do you approach any other legal writings that way? Taking the parts you agree with and leaving the rest? I'm sorry...

    Can you be a Christian and a practising homosexual and still be saved?

    And I didn't wake up one morning and choose to lust, covet, or idolize. They are each a part of my sinful nature. And they each reveal God's grace to me. The last thing I would want to do is deny that any of them are a sin and thus reduce my view of God's amazing grace.

    Judgement on cities

    I found this section of scripture interesting today. Similar to God pouring out judgement on all of Sodom and Ghmorah, Jesus here denounces whole cities and not only individuals. What does this say about God's view of societies or even countries as a whole? Will God hold citizens responsible...

    I think it is pretty silly that it is unconstitutional for the Federal Government to define their own definitions they will use in providing benefits. I could see how providing the benefit is unconstitutional but I can't see how defining a term is unconstitutional.

    Can you be a Christian and a practising homosexual and still be saved?

    Your reply made absolutely no sense to me and I don't see your point. I'm not even sure you meant to quote my post as your comment seems completely OT :confused: I struggle with all kinds of sin daily and I try my best to not give in to any of them. The Spirit reveals new sin in my life...

    Russia Banns Gay Parades!

    Thanks for the reply tulc. I have found my answer now. Promoting gay marriage is simply an act of an unbiblical Christianity. I'm new to this forum and assumed all Christians acknowledged the authority of holy scripture but it turns out i was wrong. I'm afraid we can't get anywhere since we...

    Russia Banns Gay Parades!

    Ok, I'm understanding more and more where you are coming from. So when sharing the gospel with your neighbor, you will tell them what sin is according to God's word. But when your legislators ask you how they should legislate, you use a different standard of right and wrong. God's truth is...

    Russia Banns Gay Parades!

    Ahhhhh! I think I get it now. Your logic is: 1. Gays are people 2. People have a right to marry the person they love 3. Gays have the right to marry who they love Did I get that right? This of course isn't a biblical argument but a secular argument. I'm not sure how a Christian can...

    Is the New Testament inspired?

    Yes, the OT and NT are both fully inspired Because they are canonical and God is fully capable of providing a canon of holy scripture. Why of course the words of Christ and not the rest when they had the same Author? If you highlight in your bible all the references between each book, you...

    Russia Banns Gay Parades!

    I try very hard not to pick and choose verses from scripture. God's commands for Israel to kill the Canaanites doesn't apply to me because I'm not Israel. God's law for receiving a Canaanite woman taken in battle doesn't apply to me either. Because again I am not Israel and I am not...

    Russia Banns Gay Parades!

    And yet you are on a Christian forum in a "Christians only" section having a discussion you deem to be not worth the effort... Yes, everyone needs to repent and seek the Savior so they can see clearly. They don't need to understand Jesus as I do. They just need to know Him for who He is as He...

    Can you be a Christian and a practising homosexual and still be saved?

    Homosexual sex is a sin. To remove our cultural bias, let's ask the same question but replace the sin with the sin of murder, lying, stealing or idolatry. As a Christian, I occasionally catch myself lying. But I never plan to lie -- the lies just occasionally slip out and I hate it when it...

    Russia Banns Gay Parades!

    Since this is your argument, I'll let you quote the chapters and verses you are referring to where God condones marriage beyond one man and one woman. Many things happen within the pages of scripture but that doesn't mean that is the way God wants it. In times past God even allowed many things...

    Russia Banns Gay Parades!

    I'm not sure where the bible doesn't agree with that statement but I don't need to argue how the bible defines marriage to know that homosexuality is a sin and that Christians speak out against sin in order to point people to Christ who came to save us from our sin. As a Christian I voice God's...
