No conservative woud ever state that homosexuals are "worse than us." But we would follow scripture and state their sin is an abomination and they should repent.

But we would follow scripture and state their sin is an abomination and they should repent.Easier said than done to do that, hating someone seems alot easier than loving them for many people. And to think they think that they are doing good for God by attacking homosexuals and labeling them "worse" than the rest of us. I would become an activist in that aspect, to stop racism and discrimination.
Except that not everyone reading the Bible agrees that this is what it says. Interpretations differ, remember?No conservative woud ever state that homosexuals are "worse than us." But we would follow scripture and state their sin is an abomination and they should repent.
To some degree.Yeah Yall think you're healthy in every way and completely indestructable.
Biblically speaking,based upon the things that you have said, your spiritual health is on the decline. And as long as you keep challenging God's Word as the standard of your life, it will continue to decline

How so? Because it seems like I'm only spiritually unhealthy because you don't agree with my beliefs.
Do you believe it's right to separate the Church into congregations?
So now you not only define who/what liberals believe/don't believe you also define who is/ isn't a conservative and what they do/don't do?NewGuy101 said:No conservative woud ever state that homosexuals are "worse than us."

You're spiritually unhealthy because you've exhibited a consistent testimony that runs contrary to God's Word
Nothing to do with this thread at current. So unless you want to explain why you brought that up...

I can answer the entire statement by explaining the second part actually. Christianity, as much as I don't like it, is split into denominations for a reaosn. Because everyone believes differently.
You and I believe differently. So because of that there is no "My denomination is right and yours isn't" because it's split so to prevent that.
I believe that God's Word is not inerrant because of the imperfections of man.
And you believe it's completely infallible. Fine. But you can't tell me I'm spiritually unhealthy because I don't match your beliefs because my beliefs aren't the same.
Understand?
Denominations developed out of a desire to have a different STYLE of worship. The theology and the doctrine, with the exception of how they worship, are essentially the same.
They all believe the Bible to be God's Word.
This is an irrelevant point as I have never mentioned right or wrong from a denominational standpoint but from the standpoint of what God's Word says.
What denomination are you or is this something you just personally feel?
Your spiritual unhealthiness is the result of you being at odds with what God says, not with what I believe. You lack faith that God's Word is His Word, and thus you're freed up to justify doing whatever you want.
Absent this Word that you believe to be fallible, you have no frame of reference for the person of Jesus Christ. This makes it impossible to have an intimate relationship with Him.
Spiritual unhealthiness is always marked by a rejection of the Truth given by God.
TheFathersDaughter said:Again, I keep being accused of being spiritually unhealthy based on personally beliefs, which makes absolutely no sense.
I would take that as a personal attack, which shouldn't be acceptable in this forum! Saying that you aren't "spiritually healthy" is also not a debate point to be made here.
Athiest liberals of courseWho gets to decide which "truths given by God" it is ok to reject?

Your post is inaccurate. Christianity split into denominations often as a result of intense disputes over doctrinal issues. In the 19th century, one of the big doctrinal divides was how people are saved. Calvinists argued that people are saved by grace alone, and God alone chooses the elect. People can do nothing to ensure their salvation; only God chooses who is saved. Other denominations adopted a more Arminian view of salvation, insisting that people can choose to be saved, through faith. The Methodists were always Arminian in theology, in contrast to the Puritans, who were Calvinist. Both Calvinist and Arminian Protestants denounced Catholics, whom they accused of believing in salvation by works. And most Protestants denounced Universalists for believing in universal salvation.Denominations developed out of a desire to have a different STYLE of worship. The theology and the doctrine, with the exception of how they worship, are essentially the same.

I'm afraid you're wrong there. Several denominations pick and choose out of the Bible and a couple don't believe at all.
Again, I keep being accused of being spiritually unhealthy based on personally beliefs, which makes absolutely no sense.
I have no denominations, because I don't support them mostly, but also because there is none which lines up with what I believe anyway (most denominations don't believe God treats us as equals and will judge us as equals from what I've found).
I realize it's difficult to believe, but not everyone believes the same as you.
Wll said sis!
