When will the church embrace homosexuality? The same time it embraces adultery, fornication and bestiality. But there is this “pesky” little thing called the Bible that would get in the way(esp the book of Romans).
Our children are the ones whose hearts are being turned into stone. I think it is time to train them like John Conner in the Terminator films.
That would be GracePointe Church in Franklin, TN. They now welcome same sex couples and individuals into positions of membership and even leadership roles.
BTW, it is reported that the membership and finances have dropped by 50% or more since they embraced this apostasy.
This morning I envisioned the anti-Christ and false prophet conning the Muslims into believing the beast is god but just now realized how easy it will be for him to deceive the world.
WRONG, a lie. That is not what "they" want and it is not what "they" are asking for.
What they want is to use the power of government for force everyone else to accommodate them. What they want is to use the power of government to force schools, businesses, communities, the military, churches, landlords, adoption agencies, etc. etc. etc., to treat homosexual couples the same as heterosexual couples.
What these homosexuals want is to use the power of government to PUNISH free people for exercising their God-given right to peacefully and civilly discriminate against open homosexuality in their schools, workplaces, and communities.
If all "they" wanted was "to go through life with someone," then the TRUTH is that they could do so easily and peacefully. The truth is that what they want is for the government to punish anyone who peacefully, civilly tells open homosexuals to either keep it to themselves or take it somewhere else.
This guy LIED to Oprah, and Oprah is LYING to herself.
Yes, I fear for my young sons; they will grow up in a world where homosexual behavior and marriage are holy acts of worship. For them, it will be HARD to swim against that tide, and I pray that God would enable them to stand when all the world’s evil, lawless and wicked forces are aligned against them.
By “church” I assume he means his “quasi-intentional spiritual community,” and not an actual church of which he is no longer a part?
“”when it quotes letters from 2,000 years ago as their best defense,””
Well for crying out loud!!! What a stupid statement.
The only reason oprah would have him on was so she could ask him that question knowing full well how he’d answer it. Who on earth are the people who watch her show anyway? The same mentality as those who voted for you know who sitting in the WH!!!!
“”If all “they” wanted was “to go through life with someone,” then the TRUTH is that they could do so easily and peacefully””
Your reply is excellent. It’s all so true.
Never did understand their claims. Did you ever hear of anyone who was prohibited from visiting A LOVED ONE in the hospital because they were homosexual? That’s what THEY claimed. Did you ever hear of someone not being allowed to name who they wanted as a beneficiary in their will because they were homosexual? That’s also what THEY claimed.
Why is it the GOOD never get as loud and demanding as the EVIL parts of society?
AND WHY do I end each post with the question WHY? I don’t know but everything is a mystery to me today...
Bell and his wife appeared on the show to discuss their new book, “The ZimZum of Love: A New Way of Understanding Marriage.”
LOL.
The former preacher has a history of stirring theological controversy.
A "drama prone individual" whose 15 minutes of fame are long past.
Homosexuals have exactly the same rights as everyone else when it comes to protection against violence, murder, fraud, theft, assault, etc.
Gay "rights" isn't about protecting or preserving rights. It's all and only about removing rights of heterosexuals.
Yes, I fear for my young sons; they will grow up in a world where homosexual behavior and marriage are holy acts of worship. For them, it will be HARD to swim against that tide, and I pray that God would enable them to stand when all the world’s evil, lawless and wicked forces are aligned against them.
Your post is spot on.
I pray this prayer for ALL of our youth. Lord, please hear our prayers!
Isn’t this the same Ron Bell/There is no Hell?
Yep, same guy. He's a dandy.
Isn’t this the same Ron Bell/There is no Hell?
Rob Bell. Yeah.
BTW, this is a good parody of him and his ilk: Robbed Hell C.A.S.T Pearls Presents
Uploaded on Apr 6, 2011 Do we really believe that the path to eternal life is narrow? So narrow that not even atheist hippy pop stars will make it in? Don your shallow thinking cap and come wander some contours of meaning in this parody of Rob Bell's Love Wins book trailer.
I’m sorry to here that, but here in Central Texas there are still plenty of Church’s that condemn all sin to include homosexuality.
If ISIS could just harpoon the “Oprah” and cage and burn her, they would take over the world easy.
LOL
Wow....just wow. But it's not really new.
It goes back to Genesis....did God really say.....?
