Your thinking is flawed. In Genesis we find the creation of Man and Woman as “good”. We also have the commandment that man should cleave unto his wife and become one. God created the wonderful differences between man and woman for the divine purpose of marriage and children. One only needs to look at the design of each of our organs and let common sense dictate their proper use. As for the victim issue that is also flawed. Two people mutually agreeing to engage in sin may not affect anyone else but it is still nonetheless sin. For example, If I commit adultery in my heart I surely did not hurt anyone else yet it is still sin.

Mr. Larry Jones: Your comment asking me to “keep your god’s blessings yourself” was a bit out of line and uncalled for. My God is spelled with a capital G. There is only one God, so please don’t belittle my faith just because I don’t believe in the hypocritical tactics of some of our brothers and sisters. Thank you for proving my point. We as Christians vilify and demonize with complete disregard and without Christian love. Why is that okay?

Pastor Foster, Powerful message for that needs to be heard by everyone in the body of CHRIST!
The thought came to my mind–there are many Sauls in the GCM that are now enemies persecuting the LORD JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF and scattering the flock. Only GOD knows through HIS mercy and HIS choosing who in the GCM will have a Damascus road experience where they are blinded by the Glory of the LORD and then having one HIS true saints sent to them to pray for the restoration of their eyesight!

As most American families, Christian, and non-Christian prepare to go their various destinations on this 4th of July weekend, we (especially the Church) need to remember why we enjoy the freedoms we have today, because yesteryear’s generations paved the way–We should all ask ourselves the question, are we going to let Satan steal our crown, destroy our Christian freedom and tear down the Christian legacy of America?

Tyranny can come in various methods–there are devasting spiritual and NATURAL consequences because the American church and this great nation of ours has COMPROMISED…NOT for what is holy, pure, righteous and true…but for the Sake of Earthly Gain, Earthly Influence, and Earthly Praise–Today the American Church and the nation today has given away our rights and freedoms that yesteryear’s generations paid for with their blood. The physical American church is BLIND and in grave danger! The Bible mentions in Judges 2:10
And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.

Saints of the MOST HIGH GOD, we are living in that generation right NOW! As you have already mentioned Pastor, NOW IS THE TIME! NOW is the time to face tyranny whether it comes from the GCM or whether it comes from the governments..Now is the time to be endued with power from on high! May GOD have mercy on us in this hour!

Pastor Foster, have a blessed Independence weekend and may the LORD bless and keep you and your loved ones in JESUS NAME!

Jesus did say that people would call him “Lord” but in works (life, lifestyle) deny him- not verbally but in living and activities.

Unfortunately, so-called “Christians” have become lax in social convictions and therefore we see this influx of “liberal” social living.

Jesus did list several activities as evil (and the Bible- OT and NT- does, too) and homosexual behavior falls under the umbrella of fornication and abusers of themselves with mankind. We need more examples of the believer as well as vocal proponets of the believer.

Im glad I dont live there. Im mildly confrontational so I would be making a few pond ripples right about now.

But he is right that churches should adopt a different approach to ministering to all people. And don’t tell me about the flood or Sodom and Gomorrah - those were both God ordained and executed. Tell me about the radical Jesus who partied with prostitutes and sinners (I firmly believe gays included) and even filthy tax collectors. Obama is of that radical ilk. AND NO I DID NOT JUST CALL OBAMA THE MESSIAH.

If you really have a problem with Obama’s radical views of tolerance and acceptance of gays then go vote for McCain, if you REALLY think he believes or will act differently, which he won’t. The thing I hated most about Bush was that he bamboozled the evangelicals and made them believe he was keen on protecting the sanctity of marriage, but he was just using it as a wedge to divide and conquer. Love is the more excellent way.

Common sense is not nearly as common as we think, but as GCMW said, sin can be defined as transgression of the law, which is His Will and is expressed for example in His original plan to have Adam and Eve be fruitful and multiply.

Homosexuality is not my peeve issue, and I like to make sure that gay lifestyle bashing does not drum up emotions that lead to gay skull bashing, but we all stand to use common sense and be honest with ourselves on the truth of will and commandments of Almighty God.

Re your question: I was reading in John 9 about Jesus and the blind man. After a stinging condemnation of the Pharisee’s spiritual blindness, they asked him “Are we also blind?”

In Revelation he tells the church in Laodicea that they too are blind.

Its a dangerous state for any of us to submit to the spiritually blind.
