Today is Saturday. I'm still recovering from a tummy ailment. But better.

I am so happy that you are feeling better though

 

[JesusLives]

I feel right now that I have failed God a little and then the question? How do I fix it or can I?

I promise I didn't go to church this morning thinking how can I offend my brothers and sisters and clear a study classroom but two people did leave and were possibly offended...God Please forgive me...

Topic got on the gay subject....I get so sick of people ranking sins and seems Christians are the worst at it...somehow lying is better than being gay....at any rate...

I just said I thought that all sins no matter what they are will keep you out of heaven and you would end up in hell. I also said I thought that everyone in the room had their pet sin and only they knew what it was and since I am overweight obviously gluttony would be one of my sins.... I said that what if the gay person fought with the choice of do I or do I not have sex with the same gender as I would have to fight making choices of do I or do I not eat the wrong kind of food?

To which one brother got up angry saying no offence to me but that it was an abomination to the Lord to which I replied it doesn't matter the sin as they will all keep you out of heaven...He left the room discussion voices no shouting at all...then another sister got offended by something to which I am not even sure why and she left the room....

Making me feel like a big fat failure with an Exodus taking place....mind you I don't understand or agree with the gay ideal and my friend who is gay knows I don't understand his preference or agree with it. But aren't we called to love all people? I mean am I not suppose to care about and love people who lie, commit adultery, steal and any other sin on the planet even though I don't agree with those choices either?

I do feel bad about this and have prayed about it already and even apologized to the brother who left the classroom but he just was not receptive at all....Failure is what I feel....How can you come home from church and feel bad? Well today I know that experience....But sin is still sin no matter what level anyone else puts on it....and God knows I meant no harm to anyone... Blond again opens mouth and inserts foot....

JL, you are a wonderful person, you didn't say anything offensive that I can see here. I agree with you...mostly. I don't believe our sins keep us out of Heaven though, Jesus died to pay the price for them...that's not to say we should never stop trying to overcome them. You are correct Christians are the worst at catagorising sin, Jesus didn't and we should assume that all sin is equal.

The problem I have with homosexuals is they like to shove it in our faces and call it "normal" - it isn't. It's not my business what they do but please don't flaunt it!

Anyway do not reproach yourself, I don't believe you were offensive.

 

[Jeff_56]

if they sin, and continue in sin, Jesus did not say just love them as they are. (if they call themselves believers). He said don't even talk with them, don't greet them, and don't have a meal with them.
the purpose is they will be restored to fellowship with God by repenting. notice in scripture God NEVER says 'try' to repent. either repent, or don't.
likewise, God doesn't give an option to "stay friends" regularlly conversing and hanging out with believers who continue in sin without repenting. so it is a sin to do so.

 

[cmarieh]

JL, I am so sorry. I do understand the way you feel. I don't like hurting people or because of what I say convicts them. You spoke the truth about the matter. Is it better to tell the truth about it or is it better to sugar coat it and make someone feel better and they live the rest of their life in denial? Is it okay to feel terrible that someone got their feelings hurt? Yes, but be praying that later he will come to the realization that you were right and come to the understanding that he is a loving God who will happily take the sin away if he is willing to turn from it. I will be praying that you are at peace and Tourist is able to hug and comfort you when I can't give you a hug and say it will all be okay. **HUGS** I love you JL

Yeah, it was like the last one standing (or sitting) in that room. I am not at all sure what happen in that room this morning but deep inside I seemed to be amused. Perhaps this is my bad. Really, what we had there in that room, was a failure to communicate. It was not on my wife's part, however.

people rarely go to the last place they were hated but to the last place they were loved.

Mixed report from the VA today.

Blood pressure is very good...............and, for my age, the Dr. was surprised.

No Diabetes ........ no worries there..... but do have occasional low sugar spells

Heart............good

Lungs expanded and reasonably clear.........breathing good given I am currently suffering from severe allergies......

Ankles and right knee arthritis not good.......not much to be done there

The Cholesterol tests were kinda puzzling to me. Dr. said there were four specific numbers/levels they go by. One was the good cholesterol, one was the bad cholesterol, and I can't remember what the other two were called. Anyway.....my good cholesterol is really good. Dr. surprised about that. The other two were good to very good also, however my bad cholesterol was borderline bad. Dr. giving me three months to drop it by 16 points through diet and exercise, if I don't, going to put me on meds for it...........and once you start them, you have to take them for the rest of your life. Anyway, Dr. says from all the tests and such, believes it's hereditary and I will most likely end up on meds.........

Urine was clear and good.......no blood, or bad stuff there. Blood work inconclusive. Said they got mixed results on two different tests...........so I have to do it again pretty soon.

Prostate and Colon are gonna be worked over pretty soon..........provided stool sample, it was inconclusive as well. Don't know how that could be.........but gotta redo it as well.

Sinuses severely messed up by all the pollen filling the air......back on those strong steroids I don't like. Mess with my sleep and give me a headache, but they do work..........as far as clearing up my sinuses, so I guess I will put up with the other. Only have to do them until the first week of July.

Time I got home, I was worn out. Poked, prodded, stuck, twisted, in all sorts of places and shapes.......anyway......

thanks for the prayers........

It will be ok............

For the most part sounds good other than the question in blood work and hurt knee and ankles....Blond pronounces you are alive.....

I guess I will err on the side of love as I do not follow my friend around watching for him to commit a sin so I know that I should stay from him... By the way when was the last time you made a mistake? (sin) so I know when I should stay clear from you?

On occasion, Jesus hung out with tax collectors and prostitutes and was also accused of being a glutton and wine imbiber. He did all of the things that you said that He said that we should avoid. I also believe that Jesus loves us as we are too. At the moment of His betrayal He called Judas his friend. This was the only apostle that Jesus called friend.

Dont open this can of worms! Take it back! He might erect a golden statue of himself right here and now!

I be o.k. Blond bounces back fast......but I don't really want to hurt or upset anyone....however, I have to speak the truth that sin is sin no matter what name you call it. Thank God Jesus died to save us from them all including Gay and what ever other name of sin you want to call them.....
