God can suffer for people to have weaknesses, but he does not condone sinful actions. If he does give us weakness, it is so that we may be humbled.
Good, good.
When Paul listed off those who cannot enter the Kingdom he immediately followed it with and such were some of you.
To say homosexuals have nothing to repent of is to make God out to be a liar.
To say homosexuals are born that way (rather than acknowledge homosexuality as the sin nature expressing itself) is to accuse God.
To say a repentant person cannot cease to identify as a homosexual (because they now identify as in Christ) and by the power of the Holy Spirit overcome is to make the sin out to be bigger than God.
Banning Conversion Therapy is like banning Alcoholics Anonymous. But that’s what leftist want.
Southern Baptist Convention faces showdown on #MeToo movement, church’s treatment of women
I did have a long spiel written down but this verse says it all
The bible is a path and Jesus is the light if the church render those teachings moot it's time to find a new congregation to take the straight and narrow path !
Following Christ in a PC world is not easy persecutions are everywhere but reaping the rewards of a good righteous life in the end too me are worth the fight !
I don’t believe bans on conversion therapy will withstand a federal court challenge.
Even at the lower levels, much less the USSC.
This one is cut and dried.
I’ve had a few beefs with the Southern Baptist brand (lifetime affiliation with them) in the past decade, but I might be coming back to them.
II wonder if the real reason behind the resolution being presented is to not be in conflict with States banning conversion therapy and things like it. If the denomination allows it but the liberal States condemn it by law it could bring the liberal police state down hard on the denomination in those Churches that are in liberal States and open up a whole bunch of worms/problems per say legally with those liberal homosexual loving anti-Christian States. It would be easier to ban conversion therapy within the denomination and continue the conversion therapy outside of the denomination legally without denominational strings so as to not bring the denomination in conflict with the liberal States which I’m sure many liberal politicians would love to shut down churches for not compiling with the liberal obscure laws. Basically the resolution protects the liability of the denomination money wise down the road.
So is there going to be a stop in urging kids to come out?
If it’s wrong to help them go from homosexual to straight, then it’s just as wrong to help them go from straight to homosexual.
There is a difference between “God making people gay” and being born gay.
Sin is a powerfully destructive force not just to us but to our physical environment. Our genetics are slowly failing because of it.
It was not God’s design for people to have homosexual attraction. The destruction and degradation of our genome means some people are born with homosexual attraction.
Ya gotta wonder what they are afraid of.
