Unfortunately, they also helped to embolden the activists and opened the flood gates for more lawsuits demanding state approvals for homosexual couples. We have seen the results already as the battle continues in California... (see posts 1, 2 and 4 in this thread, re: Proposition 8).

Regarding the sin of homosexuality: This sin is labeled as an "Abomination" in various places in the Bible, such as Lev. a8:22 and 1Kings 14:28. It is my understanding that an abomination is a sin which provokes God's anger and is in a different category from sins which do not automatically provoke God's anger. This understanding is different from many Christians, such as Billy Graham, who say that since all sin separates people from God there is no difference between an abomination and stealing a candy bar. It also seems to me that anything that is an "abomintaion" to God will be extremely repulsive to a believer, not an understandable sin such as when a person in need steals just barely what is needed.

I don't know Bill, but it's an interesting point.
I think homosexuality is nothing new, it's been around a long time and there are sins which are worse in my opinion. From what I have seen over the years, homosexuals are very unhappy (un-gay) and confused people. I think as brother Chambers from Exodus International has proven, they just need to see the love of Christ, and they can repent just like anyone else. The good news is—God's love can overpower and bring freedom from this sin and other sins which are even worse. Sin is simply no match for the power of God! The purpose of this thread is a little different, it's not to bash sinners, but to expose and educate regarding the AGENDA which is largely being driven by activists, politicians and the media. Some of these activists are homosexual and some are not, but the AGENDA is going to touch all of us in one way or another and faster than we think. This was also the purpose of my Obama thread as well, I had hours of research on there but unfortunately that was deleted with no warning and my efforts are gone. The American people need to be aware of the coordinated effort to radically change our nation by an active and imbedded group of liberal socialists, marxists and anti-God activists, including redefining the family and even re-writing the U.S. Constitution. As my previous posts here show, we have already seen the California Attorney General attacking his own state constitution (see post 4). Religious organizations and churches are quickly being re-branded as "hate groups" (see post 2). We have already seen how the new Administration believes we need to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (post 5). These are highly destructive morality plans being carefully crafted and promoted by a group of government employees (public servants) being paid by our tax dollars. That is what this thread is about.

But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. (Isaiah 59:2 KJV) But some Christians falsely claim that one sin is the same as the other, but they say this because they don't read the Bible and believe what is said therein. For example, consider the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and try and tell me that one sin is the same as another: Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin. (John 19:11 KJV) The difficulty in dealing with queers is that they're reprobates. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; (Romans 1:28 KJV) Now Noah Webster defines reprobate as: Quote:
And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. (Jude 1:22-23 KJV) I truly haven't a clue how to witness to a sodomite. I guess that's why in Israel they: And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made. (1 Kings 15:12 KJV) To me it seems like the only way to reach a sodomite is through prayer. God is the one that must work in their hearts. But I'll tell you one thing I'm conviced about, that is that straight talk is and should be the way we deal with these folks. I've read lots of internet testimonies of ex-homos that got saved because one brave soul told him/her the truth about their standing with God. I, personally, will not allow myself to be accused before God as one who didn't tell people the truth. I know what awaits these folks at the great white throne judgement. I would spare them. Truly, I would. *sigh* Peace and Love, Stephen |

Before you type anything else, look up at the top of this thread and read the admin's description of this forum: "Current events, including politics and culture." Again, if you don't like my threads just don't click and we can all remain friends defending the KJV, right up to and beyond the point when the "P.C." police ban it as hate speech. Now please, if you have a problem in the future with my posts or my threads, kindly take it to PM mode and we can discuss it there, thanks my brother and God bless. |

Just so you know, I felt a great conviction for my immature post tonight (post number 15). Truth be told I felt good and bad about Brandon removing the Obama thread. I felt good because some of the comments which others made (I'm not referring to your article posts/links here) were of a spirit which I don't agree with, and believe is contrary to what we're taught in the Scriptures. I felt bad because I understand what you're trying to do with your posts, and I'm not in disagreement on what I believe is your heart on this matter. So that being said, know that after spending time in prayer just now and in the Scriptures I feel I do owe you an apology. I hope you will forgive me, and understand that I still have a youthful tenacity to speak before I think. I am truly sorry. Peace and Love, Stephen |
