Male and female anatomical parts are made to fit together to procreate. Make babies, in other words.

God has no need for these ‘parts’. Really, God is neither male nor female.

His former work for Planned Parenthood is just the icing on the cake

These unright reverends have no clue where they are headed. First class tickets on the neo-communist express. Bahompet is detailed to do the dishonors on arrival at Brimstone Junction.

Interesting about the bishop who is in trouble for not allowing same-sex “marriage” ceremonies. The progressives always start by saying that they just want to be included and they will respect the rights of those who disagree. But the minute the progressives get into power, they demand full control and they won’t tolerate anyone who disagrees with them about anything.

By its nature “Spirit” is gender free.

All of the churches are turning homosexual except for
the one I go to, they do not force homosexual marriage
on any one they just let you be the way you want to be.

We stick to the Bible some times and it is great having
the religious leaders watching out for my soul and even
if every one else turns queer I will stay in this house
of God.

Rev 18:4
Come out of her my people and be not partakers of her sins

The filioque was added by the Spanish church in the 500s to combat the Arian Visigoths who claimed that Jesus was a lesser God. The Orthodox church and Catholic church agreed that they both understand it the same namely that the Spirit proceeds from the father THROUGH the Son.

I’ll tell you another ‘church’ who is not.

Jehovah’s Witnesses.

The Nicene Creed

We believe in one God,
    the Father, the Almighty,
    maker of heaven and earth,
    of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
    the only Son of God,
    eternally begotten of the Father,
    God from God, Light from Light,
    true God from true God,
    begotten, not made,
    of one Being with the Father.
    Through him all things were made.
    For us and for our salvation
        he came down from heaven:
    by the power of the Holy Spirit
        he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
        and was made man.
    For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
        he suffered death and was buried.
        On the third day he rose again
            in accordance with the Scriptures;
        he ascended into heaven
            and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
    He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
        and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, 
    who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
    With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.
    He has spoken through the Prophets.
    We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
    We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
    We look for the resurrection of the dead,
        and the life of the world to come. Amen.

ΤΟ ΣΥΜΒΟΛΟΝ ΤΗΣ ΠΙΣΤΕΩΣ

Πιστεύω εἰς ἕνα Θεόν, Πατέρα παντοκράτορα, ποιητὴν οὐρανοῦ καὶ γῆς, ὁρατῶν τε πάντων καὶ ἀοράτων.

Καὶ εἰς ἕνα Κύριον Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν, τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ τὸν μονογενῆ, τὸν ἐκ τοῦ Πατρὸς γεννηθέντα πρὸ πάντων τῶν αἰώνων· φῶς ἐκ φωτός, Θεὸν ἀληθινὸν ἐκ Θεοῦ ἀληθινοῦ, γεννηθέντα οὐ ποιηθέντα, ὁμοούσιον τῷ Πατρί, δι’ οὗ τὰ πάντα ἐγένετο. Τὸν δι’ ἡμᾶς τοὺς ἀνθρώπους καὶ διὰ τὴν ἡμετέραν σωτηρίαν κατελθόντα ἐκ τῶν οὐρανῶν καὶ σαρκωθέντα ἐκ Πνεύματος Ἁγίου καὶ Μαρίας τῆς παρθένου καὶ ἐνανθρωπήσαντα. Σταυρωθέντα τε ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν ἐπὶ Ποντίου Πιλάτου καὶ παθόντα καὶ ταφέντα. Καὶ ἀναστάντα τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ, κατὰ τὰς Γραφάς. Καὶ ἀνελθόντα εἰς τοὺς οὐρανοὺς καὶ καθεζόμενον ἐκ δεξιῶν τοῦ Πατρός. Καὶ πάλιν ἐρχόμενον μετὰ δόξης κρίναι ζῶντας καὶ νεκρούς, οὗ τῆς βασιλείας οὐκ ἔσται τέλος.

Καὶ εἰς τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον, τὸ κύριον, τὸ ζωοποιόν, τὸ ἐκ τοῦ Πατρὸς ἐκπορευόμενον, τὸ σὺν Πατρὶ καὶ Υἱῷ συμπροσκυνούμενον καὶ συνδοξαζόμενον, τὸ λαλῆσαν διὰ τῶν προφητῶν. Εἰς μίαν, ἁγίαν, καθολικὴν καὶ ἀποστολικὴν Ἐκκλησίαν. Ὁμολογῶ ἓν βάπτισμα εἰς ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν. Προσδοκῶ ἀνάστασιν νεκρῶν, καὶ ζωὴν τοῦ μέλλοντος αἰῶνος.

Well, at least you didn’t post with a larger, bold font with centered justification. Thanks for that.

Just wanted folks to see the Greek text of the Creed as used in the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America.

Quite seriously considered trying to mirror the format of the English version above it but the indentations were intimidating.

God’s people needs to come out of most of them.

Yes, I don’t know much about them except they have beliefs which I do not except, but they are about the last that will embrace homosexuality.

They will never accept it because it is against scripture.

Yeah, I dont think they would and there are a few others that I
don’t think will, but the ones I believe preach the real gospel
are several hundred Miles away so I do not attend church.

I think the end would be more nigh if these denominations were growing despite their apostasy. Instead, they are shrinking

Surrender a place in Paradise to Support a lifestyle that leads to an eternity of suffering and anguish.

Like unruly children that rebel against parents, homosexuals and those that support them are religious brats.
