Yes. And born again, saved, indwelt, justified, sanctified, going on to perfection, a lover of God with heart, soul, mind, and strength, following the most excellent way, and soon (in earthly terms...although regarding time I could certainly be surprised) to be glorified.

You keep getting answered but you keep not hearing it.

Now, tell me: On “follow” and “homosexual marriage” to you affirm Jesus’ words or do you affirm your own?

14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.

Thank you, Elsie. Our God is the great I AM.

Yet you are glad that I am a jackass.

Your mouth writes checks that your soul cannot pay.

On top of that, you are a liar.

If you were filled with the Spirit, you would not have exhibited such contentiousness...or upon discovery of your error you would have begged forgiveness (as I did for my error).

To think that you were the spiritual support for our troops makes me sick.

If you ask my forgiveness, it will always be ready...unlike yours.

And to think you write hereon about your relationship with God.

Disgusting.

Very few other websites even ALLOW you to post articles for discussion.

This is one of the ONLY that would permit you to post such an article as this for discussion.

I sincerely believe that Free Republic is worthy of our support. A dollar, a five, a ten, a hundred, a thousand....whatever....It ENCOURAGES Christian participation.

You are so stupid.

Jesus doesn't just find homosexual marriage an abomination, he finds homosexual activity an abomination. He told us that.

To wrap a sinful activity around a rite of Holiness (marriage) is obviously wrong...but the ultimate wrong was committed long before the marriage.

I perceive that you are uncomfortable with backing Jesus’ words on “follow” and “homosexual marriage” over your own.

I suspect that you are trolling this thread about Franklin Graham’s solid stand against same-sex marriage with your confusing words about not following Jesus and about homosexual marriage not being the problem.

Just to clarify: Do you recant those words?

Recant what exactly?

You are so stupid.

That's not very friendly.

So, on this thread about same sex marriage being wrong, are you recanting your statement that homosexual marriage is not what is wrong?

He is one sick puppy. But given the insane state of recent legal rulings by queer judges and their fellow travelers, can you argue with his logic?

In the motion, Sevier states that since gays can marry “even if they lack corresponding sexual parts,” then he should be able to marry his laptop, which he claims is his “preferred sexual object.”

This must be the ‘obscure biblical passage from Romans’ that Obama was belittling during the past election cycle, in order to justify his flip-flop on the gay marriage issue.

Come on now.

It's not that homosexual marriage is wrong. It doesn't even exist in God's realm.

Homosexual marriage is about as affirming as the marriage of a human and a tree.

God's position on homosexuality is not about marriage...it is about the sin, the perversion, of homosexuality.

Homosexuality is an abomination.

There is no Holy Rite or Sacrament which approves it.

It is in there. Read closely.

Romans 1: 26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. 28 Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil

Not very friendly?

You who are not filled with the Holy Spirit are wondering why others are not friendly toward you.;-)

It wouldn't be fear of your evil nature now would it?

And you, not filled with the Holy Spirit, are ministering our soldiers.

America may be lost...but God is wondering what went wrong.

BTW, I have got your number.

You had so many opportunities to offer the kindness of the Holy Spirit. But you never did.

Because, I fear, you do not know Him.

Do you think I don't know the Bible and how perverse homosexuality is?

What is wrong with you?

I have condemned it in every post.

The lurkers you are concerned with read back through a thread. They can see words, attitude, and intent. I’m quite comfortable with all of those.

Moreover, God knows.

I think the reverend Franklin needs to have a Bible study class with “christian” Jimmy Cawtah, who sees nothing at all wrong with queers getting “married”.

No, true Believers can not.

Jesus Christ: You can’t impeach Him and He ain’t going to resign.
