What's ironic is that many that are villifying the protestors today were themselves the radical protestors in the '60's.

I am sorry I totally misunderstood what you said and have changed my response.  You are exactly right!

On the topic of Sexuality I would like to voice something real quick. I hope it doesn't get me into trouble so forgive me if I offend anyone.

I do not condone LGBT acts or ideals, however I have sympathy for their situation. As a man who has had romantic attractions towards other men, I know what it feels like to be isolated and to be rejected. I know what its like to be different and to feel like you are living a lie. This is something I struggle with on daily basis and it hurts. Being a Christian I understand it would be a sin for me to act on my desires therefore I must be more careful. I do not ask of anyone to condone LGBT acts, I only ask you have sympathy for our situation. Its important that LGBT individuals be supported, not because they should act on their desires, but instead uplift them, show them God's loving grace so that he may free them from their transgressions.

Hi Panda , 

As a Christian you should really try to find out what the Bible teaches about those things ,  I speak for myself as a born-again Christian, knowing that Jesus saved me from myself ,I want to live my live pleasing Him and I'm looking for His will in my life,  for you it's just a matter of asking God to direct your life and He will show you in the Bible that it's a sin. Did you read the Bible about this topic?

 Abstaining from acting about this is not committing the sin ,God will help you to overcome this issue in your life if you let Him, instead of engaging in that sin, God will give you the power to live for  Him if you let Him.

Is anyting impossible for God?

Is temptation a sin? Is it a sin to be tempted?

Question: "Is temptation a sin? Is it a sin to be tempted?"

Answer: Temptation, by its very nature, feels wrong. God's moral law is written in the heart of every human being (Romans 1:20), and when a sinful temptation is introduced, our consciences immediately sense danger. However, the temptation itself is not the sin. Jesus was tempted (Mark 1:13; Luke 4:1-13), but He never sinned (Hebrews 4:15). Sin occurs when we mishandle temptation.

There are two avenues by which we are tempted: Satan and our own sinful flesh. Acts 5 gives an example of someone tempted by Satan. Ananias and his wife, Sapphira, wanting to appear more spiritual than they really were, lied to the apostles and pretended they were giving as an offering the full price of some property they had sold. Peter confronted them: “How is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land?”(verse 3). In this instance, Peter knew that the temptation to lie had come from Satan. Ananias and his wife both gave in to that temptation (verses 7-10). The betrayal of Jesus by Judas Iscariot is also attributed to Satan's influence (Luke 22:3; John 13:2).

Ultimately, since Satan is the "god of this world" (2 Corinthians 4:4) and the father of lies (John 8:44), all evil originates with him. However, our own selfish nature is an ally of Satan’s. We need no prompting from Satan to entertain sinful ideas. James 1:13-14 says, "When tempted, no one should say, 'God is tempting me.' For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed."

Even though we may desire to do good, we are all tempted. No one is above it, even someone like the apostle Paul. He shared his own struggle of flesh against spirit when he wrote in Romans 7:22-23, "For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me."

Temptation is not of itself sinful. It becomes sin when we allow the temptation to become action, even in our minds. Lust, for example, is sin even though it may never be acted upon (Matthew 5:28). Covetousness, pride, greed, and envy are all sins of the heart; even though they may not be apparent to anyone else, they are still sin (Romans 1:29; Mark 7:21-22). When we give in to the temptation to entertain such thoughts, they take root in our hearts and defile us (Matthew 17:19). When we yield to temptation, we replace the fruit of the Spirit with the fruit of the flesh (Ephesians 5:9; Galatians 5:19-23). And, many times, what was first entertained as a thought becomes action (see James 1:15).

The best defense against giving in to temptation is to flee at the first suggestion. Joseph is a great example of someone who did not allow temptation to become sin (Genesis 39:6-11). Although tempted to sin sexually, he did not give the temptation time to take root. He used the legs God gave him and physically fled. Rather than stay in a potentially dangerous situation and try to talk, reason, justify, explain, or otherwise weaken his resolve, Joseph took off. The temptation was not sin for him because he dealt with it in a God-honoring way. It could easily have become sin if Joseph had stayed around to try to match his wits and self-control against the power of the flesh.

Romans 13:13-14 (ESV) gives us a guideline for avoiding situations that can lead to temptation. "Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires." If we determine to "make no provision for the flesh," we will keep ourselves out of situations that may prove too tempting. When we put ourselves in situations where we know we will be tempted, we are asking for trouble. God promises to provide a "way of escape" when we are tempted (1 Corinthians 10:13), but often that way is to avoid the situation altogether. “Flee the evil desires of youth” (2 Timothy 2:22). Jesus taught us to pray, "Lead us not into temptation" (Luke 11:4), but we have a responsibility to pay attention to the direction God is leading us and avoid temptation whenever we can.

What does the Bible say about homosexuality? Is homosexuality a sin?

Question: "What does the Bible say about homosexuality? Is homosexuality a sin?"

Answer: The Bible consistently tells us that homosexual activity is a sin (Genesis 19:1-13; Leviticus 18:22; 20:13; Romans 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9). Romans 1:26-27 teaches specifically that homosexuality is a result of denying and disobeying God. When people continue in sin and unbelief, God “gives them over” to even more wicked and depraved sin in order to show them the futility and hopelessness of life apart from God. 1 Corinthians 6:9 proclaims that homosexual “offenders” will not inherit the kingdom of God.


God does not create a person with homosexual desires. The Bible tells us that people become homosexuals because of sin (Romans 1:24-27) and ultimately because of their own choice. A person may be born with a greater susceptibility to homosexuality, just as some people are born with a tendency to violence and other sins. That does not excuse the person’s choosing to sin by giving in to sinful desires. If a person is born with a greater susceptibility to anger/rage, does that make it right for him to give into those desires? Of course not! The same is true with homosexuality.

However, the Bible does not describe homosexuality as a “greater” sin than any other. All sin is offensive to God. Homosexuality is just one of the many things listed in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 that will keep a person from the kingdom of God. According to the Bible, God’s forgiveness is just as available to a homosexual as it is to an adulterer, idol worshipper, murderer, thief, etc. God also promises the strength for victory over sin, including homosexuality, to all those who will believe in Jesus Christ for their salvation (1 Corinthians 6:11; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Philippians 4:13).

Yeah.      Now who wants to say we aint in the last of the last of days .

When transgressors are coming to the full  and at the same time the message is becoming all inclusive in secular and relgions of the world

and the focus is unity for world peace .   

Anyone want to read Daniel chapter eight .      Yeah that is who this world is fast being led too.

Hi Angels4u.

Is it really a sin to be attracted to other men if you are a man. I've always thought as long as you control yourself and don't have relationships with the same sex you are not committing any sin.

Edit: Just read the article about those parents. How sad. Makes me a bit upset to say the least.

It is what the Bible calls unnatural affections, see Romans chapter one.  You need to seek the Lord to deliver you.  Being effeminate is a sin according to 1 Corinthians 6:9.  If you sincerely want to be free, and you are resisting temptations, I believe God's grace is able to keep you saved while you wait on complete deliverance.
