Re: Welcome Azzan Thread
Sure. Why not? Perhaps next we can welcome an "Apostolic ________"
Come on. Oxymoronic Apostolic Gay.
Having said that, can a person be Apostolic yet have certain propensities yet not act on them? OK. But one cannot be an Apostolic herion addict or pediphial(sp?) or drunk or whatever.
I am not putting down the inclination of this sin just the action of it. the word is very clear.
I once was a crack addict and a drunk myself, but was not an Apostolic.
I gave one up to become the other as the two are incompatable.
"And such WERE some of you..."
Does it matter what one once was? NO! So why must one identify themselves as a hyphenated-Apostolic.
If this person was once a practicing homo sexual but no longer is, Praise God!, but IF one is continuing in the practice, then that cannot be accepted.
This is not to be considered a condemnation of an individual rather the not accepting of the behavior.
Prayers are with all that struggle with any and all addictions, sins and vises.

The term Apostolic has been re-defined over the past however many years. Now it means to be like a certain current religious group. Back in the Bible days it meant to be like the Apostles. I would venture to say that most churches in and out of this movement aren't of the true Biblical Apostolic mode and they are perverting the term to mean something it is not.

"Struggled?" Doesn't that mean he is no longer active?

Yes, really. I am comfortable with who and what I am and am unbothered by the 8-year-old, playground-mentality bullies. Jesus was called names when he hung out with those that religious people didn't want to be around, so I like the company I'm in.

Jesus wasn't called a homosexual.
Jesus would of never hung out with homosexuals.
I think all this political correctness is heading for a 50 car pile up.

You ARE a 50-car-pileup if I've ever seen one. Nice to see you back.

He hung out with Adulterers, liars, thieves, why not homosexuals? You don't think homosexuals need to be saved too? I do
