Remember folks adultery too is a sin. Murder is a sin.
How many of us guyz have looked at a woman in public or T.V.,Internet or magazine with lust in our hearts to some degree? How many of us wanted to bust some guyz head for being a complete jerk? Scriptures tell us both instances are either murder or adultery.
Well guess what folks, we've all sinned in our hearts and to hold such rigidity and dogma could quite possibly deny someone an avenue to healing.
Lust of the flesh is one of satan’s greatest weapons against God's creation. The other is PRIDE. The spirit of lust has many tentacles. Once a man feels he is free of lust, another tentacle will hook him. It sometimes takes a lifetime of struggle to overcome. Perhaps, this is what is meant by, “take up your cross and follow me”.
There are militant gays that will never come. They would rather die than humble themselves and bow before God. There are others who struggle with these demons of lust. Shall we as children of God give’m a chance?
That takes courage, commitment, and empathy.
If you want the world to applaud you today, all you have to do is go along with the world's twisted falsehoods. Embrace earth worship, and get applause. Speak glowingly about "accepting" homosexuality and showing "dignity", and you will get head nods and pats on the back.
The truth is that unless homosexuals repent and seek Christ, they are going to Hell for all eternity. Why would someone who says they want pour out "dignity" and "respect" for them would knowingly aid in their condemnation to eternal torment?
The answer is: they really don't care about these people to the degree they say they do. It is illogical to say that you care about someone, and when they die they face damnation because in part you never lifted a finger to tell them God's truth about sin and about salvation in Christ. Those who speak with courage about the truth today face every persecution imaginable, from the loss of job, loss of friendships, loss of businesses, and as we have seen even jail time.
Satan is on the move - and I firmly believe we are in the last moments of human history.
Jesus forgave and welcomed a murderer who was being crucified on a cross next to him into the kingdom of heaven. It he could do that while He was suffering I can forgive some dude who likes hairy man ass. Tolerance and forgiveness is not the same as acceptance.
I tolerate screaming babies and toddlers on airplanes. Doesn’t mean that I like it.
Unfortunately, the Vicar of Christ’s position as pope, following in the footsteps of Saint Peter has become political and all about money. it’s a business. That’s why the US Catholic diocese is all in favor of illegal immigration. More seats in the pew and more money in the collection plate.
Pope Che Guavera may expand the church’s earthly political reach. But I thought that his job was to guide people into the kingdom of heaven and eternal life, not an ACLU and Greenpeace cocktail party.
And now we are to believe the Holy Spirit sows good in the midst of adultery and murder.
Yes. Very nice post and very wise.
