Hmmm....I think we've heard this all BEFORE, under a DIFFERENT name.
Compare the above quotes to these quotes....
*Posts by Flamingspirit under locked thread, A Biblical verse on accepting our gay brethren: Acts 8:26-40:
-"Condemning gays to hell IS judging according to the flesh. It's judging only by what you see. Put yourself in a gay mans shoes and ask yourself what can happen in your life that will make you gay. In learning to sympathize with him, you will learn that forgiveness in your brother and not condemning him simply by what you see, is walking in the Spirit!
What power can any law have against the man I forgave!?"
-"A man who is born disabled, one arm or leg, 6 fingers on one hand, is this also against the visible nature of God? Are they also sinners who need to repent?
I have yet to meet a man who is attracted to females, but sleep with men to simply do it."
*Posts by Flamingspirit under thread, What Part of the Law is That?:
- "Seeing as not having money is the direct reason that most in the world are starving, homeless or sickly, what law of God commands us to use it?"
- "If we had no money, no one will starve or be homeless. No one would steal if all things were free. Money is a lifeless piece of paper. Why make it an idol any longer?"
- "Money is imaginary. It is only needed because we believe and accept it to be. The garden is in the mind. Now if I had something you want, I can either give it to you or demand something in return. It is a choice."
- "What do you think you're under if I say getting rid of money will greatly benefit all of mankind and I get every excuse why we should keep believing debt is real. The world is $40 trillion in debt..... TO WHO???"
I'll be reporting this.
Servant_of_God, you can claim whatever you believe yourself to be, but you are NOT fooling the LORD and HIS saints. If you truly want to be a REAL servant of GOD, then be faithful to HIS Holy Word. Humble yourself before the LORD, and pray for HIS Holy Spirit to set you free from the deception of Satan, and be TRULY saved and transformed from the corruption of our sinful flesh and the evils of this world. If you don't become part of Jesus Christ's fold, then you will NEVER truly understand HIS Holy Word of Truth and Life and Freedom and Salvation and Grace and Love.
1 Corinthians 2:12-16 King James Version (KJV)
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.
2 Corinthians 4:1-7 King James Version (KJV)
1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
