I believe Jesus would, Carter said when asked whether Jesus would approve of gay marriage. I dont have any verse in scripture ... I believe that Jesus would approve gay marriage, but that's just my own personal belief. I think Jesus would encourage any love affair if it was honest and sincere and was not damaging to anyone else, and I don't see that gay marriage damages anyone else."
Carter, a born-again Christian and Baptist, said he still teaches Sunday school whenever he attends his home church. He. said he has never ran across any really serious conflicts between his political obligations and his religious faith.

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.
...and that is his good point.
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.’
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 churchs 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.
Im 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.
If I recall correctly he left the Baptist church several years ago.
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?
Jimmuh is a bigger idiot than I gave him credit for.
Oh good gosh. Georgia native here. I had no idea that Jimmy was THAT liberal when he was Governor. Disgusting. He probably has dementia at 90 years old
A sign of the times.
Sorry I’m not able to be replying to everyone. No offense intended to anyone.
About to grab a late lunch.
“... Jesus would encourage any love affair if it was honest and sincere”
See what he did here? Sexual perversion equals love.
This from the denizen of the dems who booed God.
Excellent catch
I understand, you’ve got to Save Ferris.
No doubt he will be confused by your question.
lol
I was searching for a name and just saw the group on TV a little before.
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.
