I remember when FReepers used to be sharp as razors about analyzing media spin. Now it's like people are lolling their tongues out there Scoopy-Doo-like, ready to grab the next Scooby-treat from AP and swallow it whole.
Sorry, in my opinion it sounds as if they are pushing a social gospel, and in my understanding and experience a social gospel does not lead to any victory over the darkness.
I believe it is you, who is refusing to analyze this, with any amount of discernment, because of your worship of the Catholic religion, over the Word of God.
This is like saying I can not condem a glutton, who seeks God and is on a diet.
We are designed to acknowlsege all of our sin, and hand them over to God.
Yes, Homosexuality is a sin, therefore confress and repent because the kingdom of God is near.
Saying ,as long as the sinner has hate in heart but doesn’t act on it- IS FINE WITH ME, says that there is no need for that transformation we read about in Romans and Galatians.
We are to be transformed, reborn, made new- letting the old man die, seeking to become perfect like Christ. The homosexual needs to change his heart and be transformed.
It is very clear. And if the Pope has not been chosen to judge what is right... WHY is he the Pope?
Men and women are send to Judge what is right. Was that not the role of the Pope in the first place?
What sort of leadership is this? (Leadership of a social group, handing out a social gospel that is no different thatn the emergent church movement.)
Are these people victorious over the darkness- look no further than Rick Warren to find out. These people are cut from the same cloth.
Willing misleading you, or woefully ignorant.
Thanks for the ping. See my 222 and take a good long shower when you finish up here.
Its hard not to opus out some days...
