Colbalt, who is blameless!? and just because you are a homosexual doesnt mean you are practicing! you look at women with lust, but you dont chase after them. people do not understand the leaders of the church are full of sin too, they just are suppost to be able to deal with them correctly! dont be blind to people and sin, please!! Allow me to ask you a few questions Jwalker. When I accepted Christ as my savior and HE created a new creation in me, am I still the old man I was or am I a new creation? Am I still the drug addict doing whatever I had to do to survive or am I now a child of God? Have you forgotten what scripture tells us? Psalm 103:12 As far as the east is from the west ,So far has He removed our transgressions from us. We are no longer who we were. We no longer live in the world as the world lives. Though I can relate to those who are living in the same lifestyle I was in, I am no longer a drug addict. I AM a child of God. Until people can accept this, which is all through scripture, they will continue to see themselves as who they were, not who they are in Him. onelight i think you misunderstood me, i agree with you. you are a new person. thats what i am trying to say, if a priest is fighting his homosexual tendancies and has NEVER commited and crimes (for you guys who want to complain about a preist who struggles with shoplifting) He is just as clean as the next saved soul. He has not done anything to be disbanded! right? If a person is fighting tendencies, how are they a new creation in Christ? Christ removed my desire to get high when I surrendered this completely to Him. I stand on this verse. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. That does not mean that every now and then something will trigger a desire, but it is now not me. Satan does roam around like a roaring lion, devouring whomever he can, but I am not fighting the tendencies to get high. I love living for the Lord and such a life as I use to live I now despise. There is a difference. because the desire to do your old habits go away, doesnt mean they wont come back to haunt you. you stopped getting high, but the ability and the option is still going to presented to you. its up to you to continue to walk right.

of course if a person is to be continuing to sin and persueing that life then it is wrong, like i said, if they are gay and are doing what they need to keep from sinning then he is no different then you and me!

I understand that gay priests are starting to pop up in churches ever so slowly, BUT why is it wrong? I disagree with homosexual acts but it is a sin just as lying and stealing. i do believe the bible says if you have anger torward another person you have murdered in your heart...is that not just as bad?! I fell if the priest understands he needs to fight it and keeps trying to get help for it ,he is just as we are, sinners in a world who needs god!

Ive been having alot of dreams after I been born again. This is one that I really dont believe i will ever forget. I dont know where it comes from but they do mean something. I was with a tribe in a cave and the tribe leader and a kid came up to me while i was sitting on my knees. The tribe leader started to paint me with blue, red, black, yellow and green. if the tribe leader started to move to another spot to paint the kid would move without even communicating, like the kid knew what the tribe leader was going to do and followed. As they where painting me i was singing a song "holy, holy, holy" but it wasnt those words but how i remember it is that. one image they painted was an arm holding a flame in the middle of my chest and the arm was painted blue. while painting me the leader said "for two hours the spirit and the body will be one" and when they finished they left out of a beaded door with a snow capped mountian on it and out of the cave. Like i said i do understand i have to be very careful with dreams and what they might mean, but i figured id share a couple starting with this one.

Amen on that! I can only Pray Glenn and Jim find that solid foundation known as Jesus!

It seems everytime I look into a church there is something to be said about it.....why can we just learn and preach the bible!

yup, this is what im talking about in my thread....but i kinda understand

Who is to say that every animal we have now is the same amount they had back then. im sure with time things have changed.

At work, one of my coworkers was wearing a T-shirt with 666 on the back and written across was 'Friends and Family Forever'. Can there be anything more foolish?
