do you believe that we should have same sex marriage or not?

I don't have a same sex marriage. If you do, is another topic. And I believe that I should not have a same sex marriage.

Do you believe in same sex marriage?? Do you see that as biblical permissible union?

Just because a certain behaviour is found in nature does not necesarilly make it morally right. It may be "natural" or "normal" but that doesn't make it right either. We live in a fallen world and both animals and men exhibit "fallen" behaviour.

To give an example, observe the behaviour of a mother rabbit when she feels that her offspring is threatened. She often will eat her own young. Is it normal for a frightened mother rabbit to act this way? Yes. Is it natural? Well, it occurs in nature, so, yes. But, is this right? Is this the way it should be? Of course not.

Hello Shiloh,

look, my brain size is limited. I decided to make choices between biblical topics in that I want to know my way around and others that I simply ignore. Bible and Homosexuality belongs to the latter category... I'm sorry.

Your capacity for knowloedge is not limited. That is just nonsense. I didn't ask you about the Bible and homosexuality. I asked you about whether or not you approve of same sex marriage. No need to try and be evasive. It's a simple yes or no question.

Okay....so we are both in the same page. We both believe that same sex marriage should not be permissible.

Uh, that isn't what he said. He simply said that same sex marriage isn't for him. He didn't say anything about whether it should or should not be permissible.

Hello Selene

We both believe that same sex marriage should not be permissible.

No, don't put words in my mouth. Thank you.

Okay....so we are both in the same page.

Well, I don't know...

Do I need to explain to you how same sex marriage weakens the family structure or is this something you already know?

Could you please avoid any patronizing tone, please? Thank you.

You made an allegation that "the homosexuals" managed to weaken the family structure. You wrote :

and homosexuals were able to legalize same sex marriage, and again the family structure is weakened.

I think, since you did not provide any proof for this chapter, it is an unproven allegation against homosexuals. But I don't want to accuse you, because maybe you come up with some proof now...

Shilo, thank you for your intervention.

Your capacity for knowloedge is not limited. That is just nonsense.

I'm not quite sure, whether to take this as a compliment. My capacities are limited, Shilo. I'm just a human. I'm 32 years old. I really feel stressed when I start to want to know everything the Bible is presenting us...

Do I approve to same sex marriage. Look, this is the problem. I don't know. My sexual identity is heterosexual, I don't feel the need to study into this.

The Bible is designed to be searched out, to be studied and meditated upon. There is no one verse, chapter or book of the Bible that has all of the truth on a given subject. That is by design. Why would Bible study stress you out? Unless you didn't like or agree with what it says???

God is very plain and simple about it: Homosexuality is a sin and He hates it. The need is there regardless of how you feel about it.

Shiloh, I love everything God tells us through the Bible. But the Bible is very big to me.... and I'm more interested in matters that concern me more...

Shiloh, I'm making choices, now. Choices between topics I want to discuss and other topics.

On top of that, I'm in a challenging phase of my professional life, I have to make choices between what I want to know and what I don't want to know in order to not overcharge my time ressources.

Nevertheless, I think that if I ever want to formulate a statement about homosexual life styles, it should come out of love for gay or lesbian people. At the moment, I know one at my church, who at least was homosexual, but he seems to have come to a good conclusion (that I didn't quite get). I have another friend on facebook, who is homosexual. Well, I really have other things in my life that need my handle, and I don't even know if my facebook friend wants to know about my attitude (still to be elaborated) about homosexuality... and we didn't mail since a year or so...

Have a good time,

Thomas

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
