Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
This regretfully is not going to happen while the Media and 99% of the politicians keep bleating that sinful behaviour does not matter. Just 'celebrate' the differences...
Sorry, but there is no such animal as a “Gay-Affirming” Christian.
You cannot be Christian and support a sin that God called an abomination.
Just because a man calls himself a tomato, doesn’t make him a tomato.
Likewise, you cannot call yourself a Christian (Christ-Like) and support what God calls un-Godly.
Words have meaning, let’s quit muddying up our language by proclaiming falsehoods, no matter how innocent the motivation.
“Gay-affirming”?
More like Sodomite life-shortening false Christians.
I agree. I don't like the way the headline is written. We need to stop using the language of the left.
ALL Christians "affirm" that homosexuality exists, so yes there are "Gay" people. Any person who claims same sex relationships are fine and dandy and blessed by God is NOT a practicing "Christian", however.
"Gay-affirming Christians" makes as much sense as "Murder-affirming Christians"
Oh, so they now admit male pedophiles who target little boys are now homosexuals? During the non-stop news about Catholic priests sexually abusing altar boys, it was a big NO-NO to call those priests homosexuals.

[27] And God created man to his own image: to the image of God he created him: male and female he created them. [28] And God blessed them, saying: Increase and multiply..."
Oops, I guess that this means Contracepting and divorce-Affirming Christians (i.e. Protestants) can't accept the Inspiration of the Bible either.
Much thanks to A more perfect union for helping me to tear this apart and showing the errors to a friend of mine. He literally spent several hours helping me the other day and I really appreciate it and want to publically acknowledge his assistance on this matter. There have been numerous things we have disagreed about in the past and will be in the future, but he really came through.
Yes RM it is a personal comment, but it is a positive one, I hope you will let it stand.
I don’t want to click on that link but I think a good refutation of pro-homosexualist revisionism of the Bible is this simple question: does anyone really believe that both the original Biblical authors and the primary audience the books were written for would have ever thought that Scripture was teaching any sexual behavior outside of marriage(defined back then only as one male to at least one female) was acceptable? It anyone answers yes then he seriously needs not only accurate Biblical teaching or preaching but accurate history lessons as well.
**“Gay-Affirming” Christian.**
Oxymoron
Love the sinner and hate the sin is the only acceptable Christian, Biblical approach.
Christianity is full of people who just cannot bring themselves to accept the truth of Scripture.
For an easy example, despite how easy it is to document that Xmas is a pagan syncretic event for which there is no authority in Scripture to observe, many people refuse to repent of observing it. The same can be said for the pagan holiday in the spring, the government-sponsored and enforced Easter.
So, it doesn’t surprise me that people who want moral justification for homosexuality will ignore the plain meaning of Scripture on the subject.
Should we just pretend that all the Contracepting, ABORTION and divorce-Affirming Roman Catholics don't exist - all those that vote for Liberal Democrats??? Seems it is Roman Catholicism that has the problem with accepting the inspiration of the Bible seeing as it places human traditions and its own "magesterium" as equal in authority with the Word of God.
“Much thanks to A more perfect union”
verga, when two people always agree on everything, one of them is not necessary. :-)
We worship the same Savior - just in different ekklesia. I support your decision as God leads you. Glad to stand with you.
“Seems it is Roman Catholicism that has the problem with accepting the inspiration of the Bible...”
No. Catholicism is fine. But yes, many Catholics do not abide by the Faith.
And many "Protestants" fail as well. Genuine Christians recognize the authority of the Divinely-revealed Scriptures and understand that what GOD says is a higher authority than what men say. That is why the Reformation stressed the priority of the sacred word over the traditions of men that, through the centuries, came to replace Scripture with traditions and rules proclaimed by fallible men as if they were as infallible as the Word of God.
I guess you missed the point. I quoted Scripture. Catholics who ignore Scripture go to Hell just as do Protestants who ignore the Church which Scripture tells us Christ founded.
