I'm not worried about that. I worry about global warming, but not the return of Jesus.I don't believe such a poll. The acceptance that we do see, however, is based on ignorance of the Word of God. So many people need Jesus, and are so easily swayed by the "Immoral Majority".
Yes, times are a-changin'. You haven't described a church--but rather a social club!
Get ready for the Tribulation, folks! Jesus is on His way to judge the world.

I'm not. Good night, all. My child and I are going to make a cheesecake this evening.You should be concerned about the imminent return of Jesus.
I'm not saying the Bible is a thing to worship, but it is the Word of God. Again with the book of John:The Bible is not the Word of God as described in the Bible, it is not the Logos. That would be equating the Bible with God and therefore idolatrous. And no interpretation - mine, yours, the Catholic Church's, the Foot-Washing Baptist Church of Minnesota (left-foot first)'s - is the only true and for all time interpretation.
Oh and by the way - Christ's return is not imminent. Christ is immanent in the world, in everyone and everywhere. Including in our guy and lesbian brothers and sisters. Much as I wonder about His presence in fundamentalism, He's even present there. Though no-one seems to be listening to Him there. They much prefer the sound of their own voices.
I'm sorry you lack faith in what it says, I just pray that you seek His Will and not substitute your own. Regardless I'll pray for you as my sister, God bless.
I see we have another fundie arrogantly speaking for Christ. It's a good thing that Christ knows who are His.
So maybe you should be more careful about making arrogant claims that other people are not His, just because they disagree with your homophobic reading of a 2000 year old book.
You might be speaking to people who are holier than you.
I'm not saying I'm holy, the very fact that would even considering calling yourself "holier" makes a huge crevice in your credibility about your faith. Don't you know that you should not consider yourself more highly than you ought?So maybe you should be more careful about making arrogant claims that other people are not His, just because they disagree with your homophobic reading of a 2000 year old book.

Struggled here...Not sure if this belongs in the Theology Forum, but move as necessary if needed.
This is more of an ideal question for both the straight Christian and homosexual Christian.
I'm not sure how many "proclaiming" homosexual Christians there are here, but I was curious...
How do those who struggle or have struggled with homosexuality feel when fellow Christians speak of their "sin" in such a horrid light.
And how do those who actually are mindful and humble about themselves go addressing this issue.
In my mind, yes I would say that it is not Christ like, BUT I cannot talk about it in some ways a lot of people do, for me sin is black and white, the sin of homosexuality is just as bad as lighting up a cigerate or cussing your car out. I feel that there are a lot of Christians out there that are very judgmental when homosexuality is brought up...
Last thing I would want a brother or sister in Christ to do to me if I were struggling with something was a negative attitude towards my struggle and condemnation.
Let me make this clear: John 1 is talking about Christ, NOT the Bible. The Bible NEVER calls itself the Word. To call it the Word is IDOLATRY. I do not lack faith in the Bible, because I don't put my faith in a compendium of writings from 2000 years ago. I put my faith in the person that the Bible points to: the only living Word of God Himself: Christ.
The Bible is not divine.
Because people have nothing better to do anymore in their lives...and its just homosexual couples...its all couples...people want to make sure that nobody is doing any "sinful" acts in the privacy of their bedroom...Better only be having missionary style sex and thats that...Why are some people so fixated on sex? Why do you care if a loving gay couple has sex in their own bedroom? It's no different from a loving heterosexual couple having sex in their own bedroom. And we have no business sticking our noses into the bedrooms of consenting adults.
Being gay is about loving our spouses, about creating and raising families. Sex is just one part of a much bigger relationship. It's no different from heterosexual relationships and families.

Seriously...if more people would mind their own business and concentrate on more important issues such as poverty, or illness(physical,mental and spiritual), then maybe we could actually better the world...

Sorry, but no; there's no passage of Scripture which uses the phrase "the Word of God" (or "the Word of the Lord") to clearly and unambiguously refer to Scripture.
Similarly, nowhere does Scripture refer to Scripture as inerrant or infallible.
It does describe itself as theopneustos and useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.
But not as the Word of God.
