Has the gay community infiltrated this website?

[chris777]

He is a Conservative, Protestant Christian...I don't know how more to put it ? I consider myself to be a Conservative even though I condone, or better yet believe that certain humans are just created gay.

You might want to start pullin out bunny ears when you call him a "conservative"
Per
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Campolo
Anthony "Tony" Campolo (born 1935) is a well-known American pastor, author, public speaker known for challenging Christians by illustrating how their faith can offer solutions in a world of complexity. With his liberal political and social attitudes, he has been a major proponent for progressive thought and reform in the evangelical community. He has become a leader of the Christian Left, often called a member of the "Evangelical left".

and the rest of the sites I have looked at so far, do not seem to dispute this in the slightest

He has certain political and social attitudes that are liberal, but what does that prove? how are you able to discredit his arguments? He is very well-respected in the Christian community.


Tony Campolo and his wife, Peggy, have participated in very public debates and discussions about the place of lesbian and gay persons within church and society. Tony Campolo contends that homosexuality is a sin in practice, though not in orientation -- though he also argues that gay people living together in a committed, sexually active relationship, is morally preferable to less than monogamous relationships.

Peggy Campolo argues, as an Evangelical, that the church's traditional teaching on homosexuality is mistaken -- just as the church's traditional teaching on the role of women, slavery, and divorce is also mistaken. - (source: Straight But Not Narrow, Keynote address, Evangelicals Concerned Western Region 1994 - audio cassette) Peggy Campolo attends Central Baptist Church in Wayne, PA. Central Baptist identifies itself as an open and affirming congregation. [2]


Again, this is all commentary, but I use Him to discredit the OT arguments, and he debates his wife over Romans 1, the only debatable verse.

Has the gay community infiltrated this website? I noticed all the gay postings recently and many attacking the bible in general. I was wondering if some gays atheist are posing as Christians to try to get their point across?

I wonder if some people are overly paranoid about the so called "evil athiest gay conspiracy"

You cannot practice being gay and being a christian at the same time just the same as one cannot be a jewish nazi or a satanic christian.

If a christian is gay, he must hold his lusts at bay and give up his former lifestyle for a christian one. Christ died so that we may have our sins forgiven, but if we don't follow up on that, his death is meaningless. A man cannot practice promiscuality and abstinance at the same time. He has to chose one or the other.

As for masturbation, it is a lust.

I infiltrate this website, but I am 100% Christian.


Believe it or not...it's possible to be a Gay Christian, but the majority of the threads started lately are not even from gay people.

I hope a friend of mine is correct and God will save all men. But that is not how I understand it. However, contending that homosexuality is not a sin is ridiculous. Unless it's alos OK in your mind to have sex with animals? Is that OK? If not, why?

This topic is like abortion. Some people, like myself see it as clearly wrong, and others believe it to be a good thing. I don't equate abortion with homosexuality. In my opinion abortion is murder. I don't have a problem with a person who decides to be a homosexual. I think it is wrong, and share that opinion with homosexual people I know. However, to suggest it's somehow condoned by the scripture is simply off the chart and an attack on christianity.

I agree with you to a point Itani, but what about the person who lies?

I know many many people who claim to be Christians and yet they continue in sin.

Is one different from another?
IYO?

thanks,

Posing?

Not everyone who opposes hate prejudice and discrimination against homosexuals is gay.

One need not be black to oppose racism

Amen.

I'm not even going to debate this topic anymore...it's pointless to debate something that is so clear...I'm just going keep praying that they allow God to grow the seeds that have been planted by so many on here.

Let Your will be done Lord.

According to this it's not

Corinthians 6:9
"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate (deals with homosexuality), nor abusers of themselves with mankind," - KJV "
Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders" - NIV "

*waits for him to come and deny the Word again*

“But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.” Romans 3:21-26

Well, I DO know that many who use this site perceive anybody who is not a Biblical literalist to be an atheist; as is anybody who suggests that the Book of Genesis is not a collection of historically-accurate stories but a set of instructional myths to explain why things are the way they are; as is anybody who even suggests that the Bible is not always historically accurate or infallible or inerrant (nor does it need to be); as is anybody who is a cultural, social, religious or political liberal.

One doesn't even have to be an atheist to receive the label "atheist". All one has to do is say they don't accept the concept of Biblical literalism or Biblical infallibility or inerrancy, or be a member of a supposedly "liberal" church.

Don't believe me? Take a look through some of the posts in Christian Philosophy and Ethics and Congregation/Fundamentalists.

Wow…I guess fat people can’t be Christians either then

 

[UberLutheran]

I need to brush up on the TOS
Because I have never reported anyone, nor would I unless there were some ectreme circumstances involved, But I have noticed how several
Complete and total Trolling threads were begun, by people who convienently post one set of beliefs in say this forum, then publicly decry Christianity, in a seperat section of this website,
So From What your telling me, If I were to report them as atheist trolls Who claim they are christians, to Gain acces to these very forums that are titled christian only, For the sole purpose of asking a flame war question, that I would Get in Trouble?

And Yes I agree The best thing to Do would be to Ignore them, However, unfortunately not everyone has discernment.
Now Granted just like I stated I would not report anyone for what they said, It is bothersome, If we have to sit back and watch other christians, who don't notice yet, that they are being baited, and just let them stumble.

Now, my question to you:

What if the "atheist trolls" who are reported are actually Christians?

Oftimes I pick up a perception that "all Christians should think alike" (or at least agree with what conservatives believe) -- and if they don't agree, then they're an atheist (or gay).

 

[gwdboi]

Amen.

Oh yeah, the seeds of hate an intolerance

This is a VERY faulty statement.

God sees sin as sin, and even if homosexuality is a sin, it's no different than any other sin. Everytime you sin, God sees that no differently, so your analogy is a very poor excuse for one, at best.

Aren't you the same guy that says God sees masturbation as a huge sin when not found in the Bible? rofl.

So is every fat person a gluttonist?​

If a person is guilty of gluttony, and ask forgiveness for this, but is still fat does that make them not a Christian?​

If forgiveness is ask for does the fact that they are still fat mean they weren't forgiven?​

Does trying to justify ones sin by the fact that those who believe it is a sin have sinned themselves make it less a sin?​

As the scriptures tell us, "We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God". So calling something a sin doesn't mean the person stating this is saying they don't sin.​

Being quiet and not warning someone of sins in their life, is a sin, according to scriptures. So...............​
