That’s why I say, and I’m sure you agree, no man could be “born again” and be that spiritually-blind.

It simply isn’t possible.

I believe that Jesus would approve gay marriage, but that's just my own personal belief
In other words, based on nothing but his own opinion, not on scripture.

Matthew 7:21”Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22”Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ 23”And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’

No surprise here. The old liberals always "evolve" so that they toe the current party line, now matter how unheard of the positions would have been during their salad days.

Would a 133 year old FDR be rolling his wheelchair at the front of a "gay pride" parade? From the way old liberals have always acted . . . yes.

Don't count on any old liberals from way back when to deviate from what liberalism is today.

Carter actually left his original church denomination, 15 years ago.

Jimmy Carter Leaves Southern Baptists
ABC Oct. 20, 2000
Former President Carter, a longtime Sunday school teacher, is walking away from the Southern Baptists because of the church’s stance on equality for women.

In an interview with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution published today, Carter says Southern Baptist leaders reading the Bible out of context led to the adoption of increasingly “rigid” views.

“I’m familiar with the verses they have quoted about wives being subjugated to their husbands,” he told the paper. “In my opinion, this is a distortion of the meaning of Scripture. … I personally feel the Bible says all people are equal in the eyes of God. I personally feel that women should play an absolutely equal role in service of Christ in the church.”

Southern Baptists are the United States’ largest Protestant denomination, with 15.9 million members.

Along with your personal salvation, Jesus gives us another gift - the Counselor, the Holy Spirit.
The aspect of God that Bunyan called “The Interpreter”.

Through the Holy Spirit, one discerns the will and workings of God.

Never mind that the Lord appeared to Abraham to assess Sodom and Gomorrah. Must have been destroyed because they couldn’t properly prepare pizzas, huh, Jimmy?

A sign of the times.

“... Jesus would encourage any love affair if it was honest and sincere”

See what he did here? Sexual perversion equals love.

CONSIDER A DAILY CHANGE JAR TO OPERATE FR

Click The Pic

You won't even miss the 25 or 50 cents, but at the end of the month
you will have at least $5 to donate so FR can operate smoothly,
or you will moan and grown and go into withdrawal
when it is down, because of broken parts,
or over loaded servers during crisis events.

Mr. Carter, the Bible isn't just to be used as a coffee table ornamentation. It is to be opened and read and believed!

Romans 16:17-18:

"Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them. For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple."

2 Peter 3:3-7:

Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
