One is unnatural affection.

I'd say that's a correct assessment, definitely not natural.

Any displays of affection of this type are unwholesome. This is why we as Christians should argue against proms all together.

We should argue against more than just proms!

I might also add, they are active in the ministry and mightily used of God.

That Jesus did not expose all the sin in one's life before healing them, and therefore condoned it, is a non sequitur. There is little evidence the centurian pacticed any good or rightous thingb - BUT he did have faith - and that was the point Christ wanted to make.

No need to worry about me being gay. I'm in a joyous marriage and have children. Nor do I have any interest in being gay. In my experiences, it's typically the man ranting against gays that has the hidden problem.

As for the position presented, it's just an interpretation held by some. I don't think it's a justification. If it were ok surely the centurion wouldn't have felt any shame. Obviously while standing in front of Jesus he was confronted with how sinful his lifestyle was. My point is that if this is worth looking into we see that Jesus had compassion and still sought to heal the party in question.

Is this sin?

Yep.

Do sinners sin?

Yep.

Should we be shocked?

Nope.

WAY too often Christians see things like this and feel some need to protest or do something that would cause these kids to not be able to attend prom together etc.

Our job is to reach the world with the Gospel. Our job isn't to protest every time someone who has not yet received the Gospel lives as if they were someone who had not yet received the Gospel.

This whole concept of wanting to control the sinner reminds me of a recent series of videos I have been watching by Mike Blume.

We are to be a NEW creature. A fish swims and a bird flies. We can don scuba gear and swim and we emulate the fish. We can climb in a plane and fly and emulate the bird but we haven't become a bird or a fish.

As Christians we often imitate the ways of God without truly becoming a new creature inside. We are acting like a new creature and imitating the new creatures actions but we haven't become a new creature.

I guess it is a lifetime of living in this manner that makes us feel better when we protest loud enough to force others to also imitate something they have not become.

I preached a sermon some time back using scriptures in John 3.

John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

We read that scripture and we understand... they are where they are... they are what they are... that which is born of the flesh is... flesh. Pretty simple.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

What? It isn't our job to condemn the world?

God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son... and for what purpose... that the world, through him, might be saved.

Folks need to know Christ. That is for sure.

But until then... if they act like people who don't know Christ why do we feel the need to force them to act like that which is born of the spirit when they are still that which is born of the flesh?

How odd we Christians are at times.

Very interesting point of view Digging. And a lot of wisdom there. We're not called to be activists but rather to be lights to guide those wanting to get out of this world's chaos.

Or...here's another angle. At the time Jesus was focused upon the salvation of Israel. Not necessarily the Romans.

I'll agree. Besides, the Bible commands parents to raise and educate their own children. Christian parents are out of the will of God if they send their children to public schools.

Do you have property for sale in your black and white world? I'd love to trade my gray for some black and white.
