Lite keeper maybe The LIGHT keeper no way

Sorry...I am missing the analogy. Please elucidate (that's a good light word.)

[LiteKeeper]

I thought 'Disciples of Christ' was a fundamentalist outfit.

That denomination has been quite liberal for quite awhile. Sorry

3. I am a hypocrite.

I can read what scripture says, but I selectively read it so I can have my cake (#1) and eat it too (#2). Regardless of the glaring contradictions I try to rationalize what I'm doing with what I know is right. For a while I prayed and struggled with what I knew to be a problem, but then I blew all that off and decided that God has issued a special dispensation for me and my wife. I use every possible occasion to clothe myself in a semblance of Christian behavior, so my blatant and unrepentant disregard of God's strictures on homosexuality might go unnoticed, along with my gleeful celebration of sinful behavior. I have no trouble swallowing camels while straining at gnats. Whenever people exhibit any disapproval of my ways I either call them nasty homophobes, or cover my eyes and ears and seek out those who'll laud my superficial Christian attributes and ignore the cancerous sin that has captured my soul.

Liberal christian ?


kindlin'

..you feel as though there's a choice you're going to eventually be forced to make, either to walk away from your faith in God or to deny, reject, or attempt to change your attraction to other women

Every Christian married man faces the same choice.

For that matter, so do Christian singles who are past 30 and are facing the terrifying possibility of never marrying. A few have the "gift of celibacy" and are honestly content living single, sexless lives -- but most of them are in a state of daily agony, crying out to God and wondering why they've been rejected for so many years. (I was unwillingly single til my late 30's, so I speak from experience.)

For those whose marriage is long delayed, or who will never marry at all -- yet are committed to God's law of abstaining from sex outside of heterosexual marriage -- the spiritual struggle is intense and ongoing. This article may be of some value to such a person: Talkdown: Preparing for Singleness when you'd much rather be preparing for marriage

what do you call a so=called bragadocious Liberal christian ?

Someone in need of biblical church discipline... Loving confrontation, culminating in expulsion/excommunication if the rebukes are unheeded... and a joyous "welcome back!" if the prodigal elects to repent and return.

Well, scripture doesn't condem lesbian behavior to anywhere near the degree it condems sodomy.

"until bedtime when we fall asleep beside the other."

She says she's a Christian, yet 'shacking' up with someone, be it a man or a woman, she has no problem with.........I think she's just babbling to make herself feel redeemed...it's still a sin........
I'm a Christian, yet I sin everyday......we all do, doesn't make it right just cause I'm a Christian......
Weirdo.

Well, scripture doesn't condem lesbian behavior to anywhere near the degree it condems sodomy.

Romans 1:26 Rom 1:26 For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural,
Rom 1:27 and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.

I don't see any difference in God's condemnation. Sin is sin is sin...there are no gradations in the mind of God, as far as I can tell. Do you see something different?

[Old Professer]

People like this treat God as a blackboard and themselves as the keepers-of-the-chalk.

amen brother but the root of homosexuals is a disdain
for scripture. it's that guilt thing,ain't gonna do it...

[Rytwyng]

but the root of homosexuals is a disdain for scripture.

Actually, the root of homosexuality is well understood by honest psychologists, such as those over at NARTH. That is to say, the reason why some people are tempted in that direction, can be logically explained.

Homosexuality is a curable addiction. But, as with all other addictions, one needs to admit that it's wrong ("repent"), before one is willing to even try to get better. Like alcoholics in denial, homosexuals for the most part steadfastly refuse to take that first step.

But some of them do. One fellow I know, went through every program under the sun, and was able to quench his behavior but didn't lose his desires - until he found complete freedom through www.cleansingstream.org. Over the next couple of years, even his mannerisms and tone of voice changed. Maybe next he'll lost his fashion sense?

Like the "Rainbow Warrior" isn't a little biased here, eh? :p

that's a beautiful story but a conscience decision it the line in the sand.....not the "genes"

Total Depravity

Well, seems like more than one person in this article is suffering from T.D. There's our lesbian friend, her partner, and the religious organization (note I did not use the term Church) that will perform this abomination...
