If everyone on here has accepted Jesus Christ into thier heart, repented of thier sins,and are trying to lead a life of Christ by praise, worship and service....

Dangerous question and shows where you are at in your walk...if indeed you are walking with Christ.

Your idea that "life in Christ" is simply a matter of praise, worship and service..is yet in the early stages. You are in no place to determine the deeper things of God nor those who are called by Him to work on His behalf in those places.

When you are older you will understand.... for just as a child does not understand the adult world, but wants to and tries hard to, so to it is at the various stages of growth in our walk with Christ. You do not understand the "Problems" because you are not yet old enough to understand. At least that is how your posts read.

Again..I said that is a start......You cannot expect a Muslim who just accepted Christ as his Saviour and is beginning his journey with Jesus to understand the deep meanings of scripture, before he understands first the 2 most important commandments of Jesus....

Loving GOD with all your heart and loving your neighbor as yourself...

I have walked with Christ for a long time now and I am not a child....I have gained wisdom and learned by trial and error to be a successful witness for Christ to other’s, that do not know him or believe in him....

As I said I do not believe in Strong Arm/Westboro tatics to bring people into the body of Christ....

This is the kind of ministry for Christ and witnessing I believe Jesus Christ commanded..

A Great Witness for Christ who just passed away...

ELKTON, Maryland, January 4, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The pro-family movement is mourning the loss of a great advocate for authentic sexuality, as Courage founder Fr. John F. Harvey passed away December 27.

The priest, 92, died at Union Hospital in Elkton, Maryland; a funeral was celebrated on December 31 in Wilmington, Delaware.

Fr. Harvey founded the Courage apostolate in 1980 at the request of Cardinal Terrence Cooke, then-Archbishop of New York, and served as director until 2008. The ministry offers a spiritual support system to men and women struggling with same-sex attractions, and promotes chastity and the development of an integrated sexuality.

They now run over a 100 chapters in a dozen countries, and have been endorsed by the Vatican.

“For Fr. Harvey, homosexuality was not a cultural issue or a topic to be debated,” said Fr. Paul Check, Fr. Harvey’s successor at Courage. “It was a reality in the life of individual people, who came to the Church with the hope of finding some understanding, some maternal love and solicitude, some compassion, some mercy, and, of course, truth.”

“He understood very well the human condition in both its vulnerabilities and in its nobility,” he added.

Fr. Check called him a “remarkable” yet “undervalued” man and a “pioneer” in authentic pastoral care for homosexual persons. He said the late priest was characterized most by “fidelity to the Church, humility, cheerfulness, great generosity of heart.”

“No matter how much resistance or misunderstanding he encountered - which was a great deal over a long lifetime of dealing with a very controversial subject - he was always very charitable,” said Fr. Check.
