    Unconditional love and the church's approach to homosexuality

    Actually, I do. Love is patient Love is kind Love does not judge Love allows you to see past all the bad and into the good of a person Love compels you to keep on trying, even when you fall short Love wills you you to never let go and never give up Love changes you so slowly and gently it is...

    Unconditional love and the church's approach to homosexuality

    Unless you're actually gay, yourself you are speaking with no experience and therefore no authority. I am not here to argue scriptural correctness because we all know what the Bible says. I'm giving human insight gained from being gay myself and talking to a great many gay people.

    Unconditional love and the church's approach to homosexuality

    My brother in law is an unrepentant alcoholic and definitely level three. He drinks, he gets into fights, he abuses my sister and he never even says sorry. Ever. Gay marriage is also level three. I get that. Most gay people would disagree with me, but I believe that marriage is a special vow...

    Unconditional love and the church's approach to homosexuality

    Agreed to a point. The heterosexual adulterer is allowed to choose a life of monogamy to a husband or wife. The homosexual adulterer is told that they cannot have a sex life at all. Sex when done properly comes from deep and loving affection toward the person you love. But we're told we are...

    Unconditional love and the church's approach to homosexuality

    I can go along with what you're saying, but you need you understand this. Sin starts from a conscious decision normally. And yes, of course we make a conscious decision if we become sexually active, but the decision to who we are attracted to is not something we get a say in. In fact, many...

    I REGRET WATCHING PORN I'M IN CRISIS HELP

    First of all, breathe young man. Nothing you have done is unforgivable. Secondly, don't stress about your sexuality. If you're attracted to girls, then great! You're like most other people. Apologise to God and ask him for forgiveness and guidance. Your sins are judged by him alone. You...

    Unconditional love and the church's approach to homosexuality

    First of all, I want everyone to know that I forgive them. I always knew that standing up and waving my hand in such a contentious subject was going to draw a lot of fire. I am more than prepared to share and educate if people are prepared to put the bible down and stop smacking me over the...

    Unconditional love and the church's approach to homosexuality

    I know where you stand Kayla, it's with Christ. And to be honest you're the most Christian person I've seen in this thread. Neither you or I have said the Bible approves of homosexuality. Christ is all about love the ultimate symbol of his love for us was allowing himself, remember, he ALLOWED...

    Unconditional love and the church's approach to homosexuality

    I never expected any response other than what most of you have shown. I'm old enough to not really care what you all think, because only God gets to judge me. I said everything I did because it's exactly how we feel. And all most of you did was throw judgemental scripture around and pass...

    Warning to Christians: Totally Refuse COVID Vaccines

    Given that my health profile is exactly that of someone who will become extremely ill and likely die and I work in a job where I cannot avoid dealing with people, lots and lots of strangers every day, I'll take the chance thanks. Some chance is better than none. Some people might have died from...

    Unconditional love and the church's approach to homosexuality

    Your answer shows that you have zero understanding of who we are. I'm gay. It's not self serving and I most definitely would never ever in a thousand years chosen to be like this and scorned by so many. It's just a thing that happens to some people. I asked God to take it away. Many times. And...

    This should start a stir.

    Oh I agree. But love, patience and witness to our true belief will win over all but the hardest of hearts. I saw an amazing prophesy about the Catholic church the other day from a non Catholic source. Talking about causing a stir, this might as well

    Unconditional love and the church's approach to homosexuality

    I'm 47 years old. I'm not new on the block and I have literally tried everything to find peace in my life. That night I walked into the confessional and repented of being gay .... Had I been told that God forgives me and he wants to help me move toward a more holy life I wouldn't have turned...

    Warning to Christians: Totally Refuse COVID Vaccines

    You're talking about Astra Zeneca and the Johnson and Johnson (?) Vaccines. Here in Australia we only get ages Astra Zeneca and Pfizer and here are the facts. Astra Zeneca is no good. Don't take that one. It causes risk of blood clotting. And it's far less effective against the new Delta...

    Unconditional love and the church's approach to homosexuality

    They run because they think the devil himself has entered the room. It's easy to judge us and debate us, but when one of us turns up, and puts a human face / voice to the debate everyone scatters. Here's the 100% truth. I'm still gay. I spent years begging God to take it away from me. But he...

    Unconditional love and the church's approach to homosexuality

    You're the classic hard hearted Bible Thumper that cause much angst on both sides. My Pentecostal friend also happens to work in deliverance. We've talked openly about my sexulaity and my life story. And guess what, as much as she would love to give me deliverance, she literally cannot discern...

    Warning to Christians: Totally Refuse COVID Vaccines

    Honestly. Why all the fear mongering? What is the scriptural basis for this crazy paranoia? I've had my vaccine and I'm still alive and well.

    Unconditional love and the church's approach to homosexuality

    A good Christian will. But half the reason the relationship between the gay community and the church is so adversarial is because the loudest voice we hear on our side is that of judgement and condemnation. So the less godly of us antagonise back with perverted and extremely disrespectful acts...

    Unconditional love and the church's approach to homosexuality

    If this gets me banned from this site, so be it. I'm one of the people this thread is about. Yep, I'm gay. And here is my 2 cents. Yes, the Bible condemns us. Old testament and new. We can't escape it. I can't escape it. But to write us off before we die is to cut us off from the grace and...

    This should start a stir.

    14 Do everything without grumbling or arguing, 15 so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky Philippians 2:14 - 15 This is the scripture God gave me this morning and maybe...
