A person who is ill is at no greater risk than when they think that they are cured when they really are not.

Christ said "For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance"

Repentance? What is that?

A person can be "gay" and a Bible-believing conservative Christian just as they can be tempted by alcohol, or gluttony, or anything else. It's how they respond to that temptation that matters. If this guy is struggling to resist acting out his homosexual lust, then I don't see the issue - and I doubt many other Bible-believing Christians do either.

But if he's a practicing homosexual and thinks that's fine and dandy with God, then he's as deluded as a burglar who keeps right on burgling after going to an altar call, or a guy who keeps going to a prostitute and thinks there is nothing that he needs to repent of. But I guess it's asking too much of the mainstream media to understand this.

Repentance, what is that???

Repentance is when we find our self in sin and, we ask God to forgive us, right? Repentance is saying we are sorry for what we have done and, we will no longer do this again.

God promises us He will forgive of our sins but not in our sins.

So, repentance is not a word we should use loosely.

If we are truly repentant, we will abstain from sinning again.
Please don't give me the old crutch, He is all forgiving, if you are going to take it out of context.
