You have taken the passage in Romans out of context. While it is true that Homosexuality, along with other abuses, such as adultery, and fornication are included in the terms “Sexual Immorality”, that is but one.... ONE... of 24 other sins.
It was these OTHER sins that I bolded, and directed towards the unrighteousness,... wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient..., undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful behaviors of SOME of the posters on this topic when discussing the issues among those with other points of view.
It has and had nothing to do with sex. It has everything to do with ALL the others. Those are the wicked behaviors being brought out against fellow brethren, sisters, and FRiends, just because we think some of you are a little naive in the pursuit of this birther nonsense.
That is a reasonable position, and demands a calm, rational and reasonable response. And I pointed out, that any such insulting, harassing, and uncharitable responses were due to the selfish hardening of one’s heart. Nothing more or less.
Now, Dr, Kennedy. You attend his church? I did twice actually. Once in 2004 when visiting my cousin who lives a block off the beach, and then again after Dr Kennedy had passed in 2008.
While I am not a supporter of the Dominion Doctrine, I never the less has profound respect for and a sincere belief in his salvation. As a Dispensationalist, I am more a follower of Chuck Swindoll, Chuck Smith and Chuck Missler.
I hope this clears that up.
“As a Dispensationalist, I am more a follower of Chuck Swindoll, Chuck Smith”
One sermon stuck with me when preaching on abortion, where he many times said: “And 300,000 pulpits in America was/is SILENT,” with strong emphasis!!
After his passing Billy Graham’s grandson came with his warehouse congregation and chased away the elderly members who were the pillars (financially) of the church!!!
So somewhere there seems to be a common ground, regardless your opposing our “naive” Constitutional philosophy?
I wish this young man was running in my district, unfortunately Kendrick Meet “occupying that seat inherited after mom Carrier. I would have no qualms voting for this Christian, who like us is for the Constitution!
When they took out bibles and ten commandments in our school everything went down hill!!
