    Not being nice as Christians - Different views on Mary

    Oh, yes I knew Amy, kisstheson. I am so sorry and my heart goes out to her and loved ones and family. She was a wonderful friend to me too. Amy was an extraordinary human being; so forgiving and caring and kind. I think a part of her will live forever in our heart through her art; it touched...

    Not being nice as Christians - Different views on Mary

    I think Mary is interesting to think about. She also was the first "mother" and I believe widow of an Apostle, the Apostle John. Do you think she was a "widow" as Joseph was not at the crucification, or was he? I think Mary was a widow at the time of Jesus' death, and it is also interesting...

    Forcing the Chruch to accept homosexuality..

    That's because the nerve/sensory part of the brain is reacting to stimuli. This nerve/sensory part of the brain can react to all kinds of stimuli that is not actually there. This was proven when multiple studies were conducted with children who were asked to imagine sucking on a lemon or...

    Not being nice as Christians - Different views on Mary

    I think the virgin Mary is a good role model for young Christian women. I have been thinking about Mary lately and how magnificent and blessed she was to be chosen to be the Mother of God incarnate. I can understand some of the desire of Catholics and Orthodox to revere her as she was the...

    Forcing the Chruch to accept homosexuality..

    However, there have always been gays in church, though repentance was preached in the churches I've attended. Now, if a LBGT couple gets "married" even though you say 'civilly', will some churches or any churches' hierarchy just kick them out because they got civilly married? I don't see...

    Forcing the Chruch to accept homosexuality..

    I thought this thread did get a little childish on both sides. Anyhow, I have to run but I came to edit in "gay-friendly married/unioned/blessed churches" as gays have always been in the churches I've attended, though after they came to Christ they either stayed celibate or married...

    Forcing the Chruch to accept homosexuality..

    Thank you, and yes perhaps my synopsis was too simplistic regarding how the early Christians and Christianity may have changed marriage, or maybe it did for the gentile world? I know there were different types of marriages -- arranged, financial necessity, etc, but that really wasn't what my...

    Forcing the Chruch to accept homosexuality..

    Did it stun you? It somewhat stuns me as I think about all the early Christian's who I know by pure logic were put to death over this issue as well as other issues. I don't know how to reconcile that as much as I love people and want them to be happy, and I know how difficult it is to find...

    Forcing the Chruch to accept homosexuality..

    I'm sure it was included in the calling of all sinners to repentance, and also makes sense and is quite a logical conclusion. (Can't post any links though. I tried that and my posts kept disappearing.)

    Forcing the Chruch to accept homosexuality..

    Okay, let's say for instance, in Romans 1, Paul IS addressing Nero and his homosexual type 'wives' and the early homosexual pagan acts of the ancient Romans. Now if that were the case (and I believe it is) than what Paul wrote in Romans 1 about Nero and the early Roman pagan homosexual beliefs...

    Forcing the Chruch to accept homosexuality..

    As a concession yes Paul said that, but he said let each man have his own wife and each woman her own husband. Paul was speaking to the pagan's who had differing sexual lifestyles than that which was acceptable to following Christ. Marriage has stood for 2,000 years as man and woman. What...

    Forcing the Chruch to accept homosexuality..

    I don't particularly think people are making homosexual sex into an idol in this thread. However, it seems many have more faith in Kinsey than they do the word of God here. I find it kind of sad. (I have a good link on the myths of the supposed revisions of the KJV; will post when I can.)...

    How about ya'll are acting childish. And, could you stop, please. Thank you.

    Forcing the Chruch to accept homosexuality..

    I can't post links yet but I have a good one about the KJV. So what is your ref. for the point above? Also, when Jesus said a man has committed adultery in his heart when he looks at a woman to lust after her and when the Apostles answered Him with a "well, then it is better not to marry"...

    Why did God make homosexuals if they don't have a chance?

    You read my post incorrectly. If you read it again, I said (using logic) homosexuals have been here for centuries BUT MARRIED HETEROSEXUALLY AND HAD CHILDREN throughout centuries past.
