I think taijasi was leaning more towards Jane Fonda :rolleyes:

That's the way I believe it, and that's the way the Bible teaches it as far as I can see: 1 Corinthians 6 (NIV) Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual...

Luke 22:36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. Luke 22:49 When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword...

Ive been meaning to address this question which was raised earlier in this thread. The factors that influence human behaviour are very complex, and nowhere is this more evident than in sexual behaviour. Three main influences impinge on the success of changing sexual orientation and /or...

Gee, I really wish I'd added "about folks like me" so that I didn't sound quite so pretentious ...better late than never!:o

I have to come back to the question of approval - it has no bearing on love or acceptance. There are behaviours that I do not tolerate in my house (smoking, cursing, shoes on my rocker!!!). I have house rules - and my church has rules. Of course we all allow a bit of latitude, but we also have...

Your definition of love.

A woman Democrat for president ... ooh that's a tough one, let me guess ;)

:p :D

God has already sorted it out ... for those who believe the Bible. Other people's behaviour is none of my business ... until they make it my business ... eg, they want to rewrite the doctrine of my church.

I was actually thinking of the last two chapters of Revelation, and Joseph as a type of Jesus Christ: sold for pieces of silver, went down into the pit, and was raised to the right hand of power. Somehow, I don't think the Lord God runs a democracy ... but until that time comes, our two...

Love is unconditional - it is not the same as approval ... a lesson every parent learns real quick.

An excerpt from an APA statement concerning the removal of homosexuality as a psychiatric disorder from the diagnostic manual (1973). What will be the effect of carrying out such a proposal? No doubt, homosexual activist groups will claim that psychiatry has at last recognized that...

I can think of examples where that is correct, and examples where that is wrong. The question implied by the initial post in this thread is to what extent Christians can try to impose their beliefs through legislation. It seems any other interest group can push their beliefs and opinions with...

a benign dictatorship ... one day, Q, one day :)

In 1973 homosexuality was removed from the "sexual deviance" section of the diagnostic manual (by a less than unanimous vote) but retained as "ego-dystonic homosexuality" or "sexual orientation disturbance". Many who voted for the removal of homosexuality as a disorder were genuinely concerned...

Christianity and art might make an interesting thread ... or has that been done already? I wonder if the moral character of the artist influences his work - Gaugin abandoned his wife and 5 children I understand ... but then Michelangelo was no saint either - some even claim he was gay! ("Gifts...

Wil, how little you understand. My son lives with a married woman - a relationship no less wrong than a gay relationship in my eyes. On Sunday they will both be very welcome guests in my home, and there will be no less love at our dinner table, than the most loving of families.

So you appreciate the fact that there are men who are trained in physical combat, and the use of lethal weapons, to help protect you and your family. And these brave men who protect you and your family, can they be "true Christians" and still carry out their duty as "God's servants"? Romans...

Trying to overturn the principle of separation of church and state, or just encouraging Christians to get involved in the political process - see Katherine Harris's interview in full, and judge for yourself: http://www.floridabaptistwitness.com/6298.article At least read the answer to the...
