JD Farag addressed this in his sermon this week. Disqualifications for Christians, Part 1 – 1 Corinthians 10:1-4 The thing that got Moses disqualified from entering the Promised Land was misrepresenting God's Word.

Mr. "PEANUT" can BELIEVEanything he wants to,
But FACTS are FACTS !

John 1:1-16 make it VERY CLEAR that JESUS is also the GOD of the Old Testament, too.
So Carter needs to read again: Mr. "PEANUT" can read again Romans 1:18-32: Also the BIBLE makes it PRETTY CLEAR, what JESUS SAID, COMMANDED, and also,

Questions Mista Jimmah:

Did Jesus approve of gay marriage in 1975 when
you were a candidate for POTUS? I don’t recall
you stating such a proposition at the time.
Would you care to pontificate on other positions
that the Lord will take in the future?

He should stick to what he knows, hating Jews and giving cover to despots.

Well, he would have become “born again”, except he thinks Jesus also approves of abortion, so Carter’s “new soul” ended up in the dumpster out back.

John 3

3Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.a ”

4“How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!”

5Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. 6Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spiritb gives birth to spirit. 7You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘Youc must be born again.’ 8The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”d

"...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.”

This is wrong on so many levels.
It does not matter what 'you feel'. It does not matter what 'I feel'.
What does God say?
That is all that matters. HE is God. HE is the Creator. We should seek to know what God has said, and to align our "feelings" to 'thus saith the LORD'.

Jimmy is correct that we are all made in the image of God ('...in the image of God made HE them. Male and female made He them...). And it is also true that God would have all to be saved, and to come to knowledge of the Truth. HE takes no pleasure in the death of him that dieth.
But "all people" are NOT equal in the eyes of God.
HE has HIS people that believe on HIS Son, and there are the wicked who do not believe. They are not equal. God did not treat the world equally in the time of Noah. The whole world was wicked (although Noah probably less so than the rest), and God saved Noah and his family - and none other. God did not treat Abraham "equally" with anyone else in the world. And the Hebrews were a special people to God - the apple of His eye. He kept them separate from the world. They alone had the oracles of God. Until the time appointed, when the Lord Jesus Christ, the only Begotten Son of God, was made manifest in the flesh - it is unlikely anyone in the world was saved - other than a remnant in Israel (and a few who came in contact with them).

It is true that the invitation to enter into the Kingdom is open to all - but all are not equal, because all will not believe. This is a special gift. So no, all people are NOT equal.

Set aside the feelings and seek to follow God's Word. His commandments are not grievous.

If Gerald Rudolph Ford, Jr. (an alias), were still around, he would gladly join Carter and wholeheartedly agree!

Dear left-wingers: If you use Brother Jimmah’s arguments in support of...just about anything, actually...you’re doing it wrong.
