Correct. It starts with the whole church's failure to comprehend the gospel.
By the same logic, I could argue that we can be chaste — faithful — in extramarital sexual relationships if we exercise restraint: if we refrain from having adulterous sex that isn't mutually pleasurable and affirming, that doesn't respect the autonomy and sacred worth of our married selves and our secret partners. How is her point different from endorsing adultery? How is her point even remotely biblical?
“Yep it is Men’s fault, he he EVERYTHING is WASP Males fault.. heh heh”
Actually, in a way it is.
I heard about a conversation about the fact that the Bible does not mention a certain topic about living in sin.
The reply was “I can tell you with 100% certainty that nowhere does the Bible say that you should not plunge a metal stake in your eye.
Now, do you think God WANTS you to plunge a metal stake in your eye?”
Because that’s what the Bible says, yep....
Well ?
Ummm...no. The Christian’s manual says not. These shepherd’s will be accountable for leading these sheep astray.
Affirmation ? Affirmation of sex is ... children, am I right or wrong or here ?
Union Church of Hinsdale is a congregation of the United Church of Christ. ‘Nuf said.
I hate liberalism. I hate the fruity language they use. It triggers me... I want to barf now.
public school....
What is her ‘denomination’?
Old lady here,and out of the loop.
What the hell is “affirming” sex?
.
I guess if nothing is a sin, why go to church? Just to give some idiot like this your money?
God hung the responsibility on Adam.
So, yes, it is.
Marriage and intimacy are also a picture of God and Israel, and Christ and His bride, the church. IMHO, that is another reason God condemns homosexualiry...it twists the picture of the spiritual bride and the bridegroom.
“The Union Church of Hinsdale, United Church of Christ”
has that Rainbow flag (or is it Rainbow fag) flying on their front page. Her husband is apparently male (Josh).
I cringe every time I hear a pastor or priest say “who am I to judge”. That is precisely the mandate given to them by the Lord. They are sworn to guide the flock, which fundamentally means chastising those who stray into sin, lest that sin leads to eternal judgement. These ministers fear the criticism of anti-Christian activists more than they fear God.
I've usually heard 'affirming' in connection with homosexuals.
