Romans 1:26-28, ping!
“Your sins are forgiven. Go and sin no more.”
I am certain he did meet, and say that to, many homosexuals during His time on earth.
Mrs. Lentz added, “It’s not our place to tell anyone how they should live, it’s – that’s their journey.”
$10 says she does it almost every service.
“We need to reduce our carbon footprint”
“We need to help the homeless”
“we need to feed the hungry”
Etc
The first sentence is incorrect. The first perversion of God’s word was the serpent in the Garden of Eden. Well before Luther, it was perverted by members of the Catholic an Jewish hierarchies. Bringing up the idea that the Scriptures were intended for the common man did not bring us to this state.
Ewww?
Yet the entire message of the bible, from beginning to end, is how we should live. The consequences for ignoring these precepts is quite extreme.
Wow!
Rome ordains homosexual priests and Protestants are called out over the gay issue?!?
What hutzpah!
Wait, ,, I know. He’d ask if they’d ever heard of Sodom.
Bkmrk.

Liberals are pro choice on abortion and libertarian about homosexuality. But in just about every other area of life, liberals are opinionated, and seek to impose those opinions on all of us.
Liberals have very selective criteria when it comes to areas of life where people should make their own decisions vs. areas of life where they want to impose their views of how society and government should function.
Hierarchies? :) That’s an irony zinger.
What Luther said was:
Luther said, "a simple layman armed with Scripture is greater than the mightiest pope without it".
“This whole perversion of the Word of God began when Luther said each person should interpret the Bible for themselves. “
Yes because only a Priest led by the Global Warming activist known as the Pope is qualified to tell us what the Bible means.
We should go back to the time when the Catholic Church prohibited people from even having a bible in a language they could understand.
It certainly couldn’t be the decades of silence on such issues as abortion, divorce, homosexuality, promiscuity, adultery, foul language or the multitude of other sinful behavior.
Good point. As one Catholic FReeper loves to quote, “To be deep in history is to cease to be Protestant”. Actually, to be deep in history is to realize that every dead religion springs from THE Lie whispered in Eden: YOU SHALL BE AS GOD, KNOWING GOOD AND EVIL.
The Jewish religion at the time of Christ had a hierarchy, as does the Catholic Church. I am not sure why that is ironic.
To those that claim divorce is always unacceptable and condemn me as one who has participated in bringing down Christianity, please explain Matthew 19:9. I fall under the exception Jesus spoke of there.
At first I thought this might not be another Protestant-bashing thread (because of the charts that show Catholics adopting game marraiage in numbers higher than evangelicals), and then I was sure it was a bashing thread when I came to the following section of the article, complete with typos and errors:
This week the Presbyterian Church of American also voted to ‘embrace an inclusive definition of marriage‘.Whatever the heck a "Presbyterian Church in American" is, the denomination that made the vote was the Presbyterian Church (USA).‘The measure sought to replace a phrase in the church’s constitution that defined marriage as “a civil contract between a woman and a man” with a sentence reading “marriage involves a unique commitment between two people, traditionally a man and a woman, to love and support each other for the rest of their lives.”
