Re: 10 Reasons Against Gay Marriage

Related to Aquila's post about getting government out of the marriage business...

I would never presume to know C. S. Lewis's thoughts on same-sex marriage, but I thought this paragraph from Mere...

Re: Common Myths about Gay Christians

The most common...

Interesting that Pastor Youcef denies the Trinity. I didn't realize he was Oneness.

Downton Abbey

Does anyone here enjoy this show?

I just started watching the first season on Amazon Instant Video, and am already intrigued. The plot is very suspenseful and the characters captivating.

Re: Were you crying

Very good point.

In the book of Acts, tongues and/or prophecy is often mentioned along with the baptism or filling of the Holy Spirit, but not always. We should be very careful not to go beyond...

Re: Were you crying

I was not crying. As a teenager, I was kind of self-conscious.

To my dismay, I had been pushed down to the altar by an evangelist who informed me that he was "hot on my trail." I was uncomfortable...

Re: Common Myths about Gay Christians

Good question. :thumbsup

Could it be that we have elevated marriage in the church to a place it should not hold? Do we undervalue singleness in our churches today, mimicking the culture at large?...

Re: Common Myths about Gay Christians

I think Jesus might surprise some of us. Reaching out in the gay district just seems like something he would do, imo.

Re: Common Myths about Gay Christians

Correct, sincere Christians from "Side A" honestly claim that they believe that God blesses same-sex marriages. Although I do not agree with them on that issue, I still consider many of those same...

Re: Common Myths about Gay Christians

The rapture analogy is not a very good one.

If someone has a different view of the rapture, he is not sinning. Not true with homosexual behavior, imo.

Re: Common Myths about Gay Christians

This entire thread has devolved into splitting hairs over terminology. Is this what Jesus would have called "straining at gnats and swallowing camels"?

Instead, I wish we could be talking about...

Ha! Because people freak out and don't know what to do with them! ;)

Re: Common Myths about Gay Christians

Good question, Timmy.

I believe that a homosexual couple can often experience a real bonding, union, and intimacy. There really are people in long-term, monogamous, same-sex relationships.
