Seems to be a lot of that going around these days.
Comments?
“We have to love our gay neighbor more than our position on sexual morality.”
What kind of nonsense psychobabble is this???
No, you hold sexual morality as a sign of love for your neighbor. Otherwise, accepting the immorality is actually a SIGN OF HATE.
Well-meaning foolishness. It will lead to further slide. You cannot negotiate with terrorists and you cannot negotiate with activists whose sole purpose is to lead you away from the straight and narrow.
Play with fire and you will get burned.
every Baptist congregation is an independent entity
Does the New Testament teach holiness?
Does Christ or any apostle endorse, tolerate or condone open sin?
The good news of the gospel is clear: REPENT of your sins, turn your life over to Christ, and He will save you - free gift. But you must change your ways, not God change His ways.
You don't get to keep sinning. And you don't get to change God's law to make your sin acceptable.
What the hell does that mean?
From my perspective, it looks like he's trying to repent of telling the truth.
Homosexuality is an inherently disordered condition. It is inherently a corruption. It is always a tendency, temptation or desire to do something which is always and by its nature WRONG.
They say equal rights, but won’t give up until they get the upper hand.
Moore regularly referred to people who are gay — not merely people who are sexual sinners in need of redemption — and denounced so-called “ex-gay” therapy as “severely counterproductive.”
“Counterproductive” for who, I wonder?
It’s unbearable to read naive ministers’ words about gays. Do any of them ever run across them - I don’t mean some friend of a friend who moved away to SF 30 years ago - I mean living with them on a daily basis like I do in NYC?! Have any of them ever witnessed ACT-UP in action? Or been to a gay bar? Or seen a video of Larry Kramer? I doubt it. They’d then sing a different tune, believe me.
Yeah. Starting with this one:
"Another Fine Example Of Catholics Never Posting Threads Challenging The Beliefs Of Others" ping!
God has a message for these Southern Baptists, and it has eternal implications:
Matthew 7:21-23.
I suggest you take heed.
SBCer here:
Ain’t happennin’.
Afaiac, tone can and should be kind. The biblical teaching must remain clear but we can be kind in how we, as imperfect beings ourselves, relate it.
It's only a matter of time until they fold. Satan is very effective in his techniques. I'll bet not one LGBT activist is repenting of anything. No language. No ideas. No doctrines. In fact they'll continue to push others to "repent" until all mainstream churches have borrowed their doctrine from them instead of listening to Christ in the bible.
I think their comments were “mistranslated”.
Tell it to John the Baptist.. did he not call King Herod out..
Not long ago I said churches would start marrying gays. And it won’t be long.
Baptist ping
Jesus loved sinners.
And He told them to go and sin no more.
There is almost no sin beyond His power to forgive, but salvation is not fire insurance. You can’t continue in it.
Homosexuality is not incompatible with Christianity.
Really? I always understood that Christians followed the Word of God.
When the SBC leaves the Bible, I leave the SBC.
“Hating the sin, but loving the sinner” does not mean not saying that the sin is a sin.
It that hurts their tender feelings, well, I’ve had my feelings hurt over the years, but I survived it and so will they.
