yes bridget type it! if you have the time! and i think it must be habit or i just needed something else, but i found it at this other church, which is great!
 
I actually have a question for everyone. This might be the wrong or actually the right thread for this, but how do you feel about gay couples? b/c I know there have been plenty of arguments on it. This is in terms of your stance as a Christian.
 
thats a tough question...well duh! but its hard to explain really so read everything i am writing then you'll see what i mean.
i am against it personally. like i said against it! not the person, that is their way of living and if they choose that lifestyle so be it. its none of buisness. but it is a sin in the eyes of God. I think its wrong but i know this one guy who is gay, who is there whenever i need him, he is a great person, so you can not judge a person based on this AT ALL!
juding is also wrong in the eyes of God. but when you give your life up to Jesus and let Him into your heart, ALL of your sins are given up, ALL of them. so those who are can still be Christians and can still be saved.
so basically my stance on it, is i think it is morally wrong and definatly not my cup of tea but if someone choses that lifestyle, i have nothing against them or think differently of them. i just dont agree with their decision.
hopefully i didnt offend anyone becuase i dont intend to or even want to! like i said before do not judge a person on what they do, but who they are inside that counts!
thats my views.
 
Very interesting, Vic. And I especially like the way you put it. I'm not sure how to explain my views, but they're pretty much the same as you. I don't want to say I'm "against" homosexuality, but really I am.
Ok let's try that again.....I don't agree with the idea of it, as the Bible says it's wrong. BUT, I will not discriminate against someone for THEIR decision. Which is technically why you could say I'm for gay rights, just not the actual decision to do so. Does that make any sense?
 
Can you gather up some Biblical quotes on homosexuality for me, if you don't mind?

I've never read anything in the Bible dealing with that area.
 
I have a Scripture search CD-Rom...I'll go ahead and look those up for ya if you want...The References would be from the King James Version of the Bible...I hope that's ok...
 
im not quite sure where, and i dont have an index of Bible becuase i've had this one since i was in third grade but i will try to...of course! and while we wait for those...i have this to post to inspire! my one friend sent it to me, i thought it was hilarous and adorable!

A fifth grade teacher in a Christian school asked her class to look at TV

>HALLMARK CARDS
>He cares enough to send His very best.

>GENERAL ELECTRIC

>SEARS

>ALKA-SELTZER

>SCOTCH TAPE

>ALLSTATE

>VO-5 Hair Spray

It was a revelation given to a particular city about what they should do to perpetrators of that law...it was an actual law of a city then that back then was punished by death...back in B.C.
