Okay...i will admit that i have not read every single post on this thread YET...so forgive me if i copy what someone has already said...but i want to make a comment about peole being born homosexuals...

Okay...those that say this is part of their design...is saying...when God created them...HE created them to love the same sex as them...Hmmmm...where has God ever contradicted His Word???? Are we/they saying a perfect God has created something flawed(according to His own Word)??? It is just not true...there is no way to see it as something you are born with...sorry. God created all things perfect...we with the power of choices...have become flawed by our own design...not Gods. God does not make mistakes... i don't see Him saying..." oops...I used to think it was okay for men to be with men..or women to be with women...but i think i will change my mind...i better write that new rule down in the Word...that way they will know that i have changed my mind." Seriously... that would mean that His first mistake..or unneeded creation would be woman...and he would have made a way for men to produce..to create life without a woman. Think about it...sooo...how many mistakes are we saying our perfect God has made???

Okay...in my humble opinion..this is what i see...too many of us...who claim to have God's love in us don't always operate in it...we say we are Christ-like...

then we pick up the first stone we see and get ready to chuck it at the sinner...we need to do as Christ did... LOVE THE PERSON...HATE THE SIN. It seems as though we have a tendency to get so caught up in seeing the sin and the person so intertwined that we can't look far enough past the sin to see that there is a real live person under it...and they are hurting...lost...in need of some light in their darkness... let me give you an analogy... say you are stuck in this room that is dark...you can't find your way to the light switch...you can't see a thing...you keep stumbling and getting tripped by objects you didn't even realize was there...then....all of a sudden...you see someone coming...they are holding a lit candle...a light...you aren't sure what to think ...you are waiting to see if they will help...you may even be trying to call out to them...to ask them to help you find the light switch...they stand in the door way of this room...they stand there with the light...it lights up this huge room enough for them to see you...to see you need help...so what do they do...they stand there and ask you why in the world you are standing in the dark...why do you like standing in the dark...can't you see it is not good for you...it has caused you to get bumps and bruises...they simply say.."i can't understand why they want to stand there...why don't they want help...why can't they get smart and walk over here and flip the switch." They are so busy putting you down...focusing on what you are doing wrong..that they can't see that you are stuck...unable to come and turn on the light switch for yourself...or...they are so focused on the darkness you are in...that you become one with the darkness...they don't see you...

Does the person take their lit candle...go up to you...guide you to the source of light...help you flip the switch. Love YOU enough to help cast the darkness away.

Sooo i ask you...are you the one standing in the door way...looking at the darkness and missing the fact that there is someone stranded amongst it...or you do you see the person and love them enough to grab their hand...and help walk them through the darkness and into the light?

God Bless, Jenny. :emot-hug:

Make sure your pastor teaches the Word & the sin of homosexuality will take care of itself fairly quickly. The problem remains however that not all pastors teach all the Word. "itching ears" perhaps? A board member's relative is a homosexual? Fear of man? Hmm.

wouldn't you say if the word is being preached without compromise, and the Holy Spirit is truly moving, a practicing homosexual or practicing sinner of any kind won't even want to sit in there and play church?

The only reason a person wallowing in sin could sit in a congregation and play church in the first place is because they can do so without the discomfort of conviction; which means something is probably wrong with that church.

Yep! :emot-hug:

Is it clearly defined in the bible as a sin?

Umm, yes!

I don't mean to sound vindictive but how many times are we going to circle the airport before we land this plane and realize that YES homosexuality is a sin in the eyes of God?

Leviticus 18:22

1 Cor 6:9-11

Enough said.

    • 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.
