I hate it that the church is perceived as hating gays. It's partly the media, but we are to blame too
    Yes, and when faced with gay peoples who actually believe being gay is a "blessing from god"... do you man up and tell them God said in His Word that those that live after the flesh (not just the gay thing) will not inherit the Kingdom (as in they go to hell)???

    We have to be true to what God's Word actually says lest we be found to be false teachers leading people astray which is why there are those now claiming to be gay christians like in mr osteens church (not struggling with it, no they all out and proud!).

    God's people need to proclaim the truth in Love..,. God is Love and speaking His Word is walking in Love, so why can't we speak the truth politely with a smile on our face... but speak the truth non the less???

    Most Christians I hear from would never tell gay peoples they have to choose between what God's Word teaches and their sexual perversion (and of course this goes for the hetros doing sex out side of marriage)

    This appears to say that sexual sin is worse in its destructiveness than other sins. So that makes it worse. Murder is a worse sin than stealing or driving 5 miles over the speed limit. So murder and sexual sin are worse than other sins.
    Exactly, one is joining the temple of the Holy Spirit with a harlot.

    As Valiant Woman said in a post, the only reason this is such a vocal topic is because of the demonic push to force the church to silence on this issue is so strong...

    Having said that it occurred to me there are a lot of subjects the church has compromised on due to this pressure...adultery, divorce, lying, greed, honesty....

    Seems in many churches only 'positive' messages are viewed as acceptable and by positive I mean the, 'God loves and accepts us just as we are and wants to give us everything that makes us happy..' when the truthful positive message is the good news that God loves us DESPITE us and gave Jesus not only for our forgiveness but to empower us to be transformed...'

    But now if someone hears that God wants them to CHANGE, that's a mean and bigoted message...Repentance means I recognize I am sinful and I desire to be different, not only in how I act but in my soul, mind will and emotions...

    I was scanning news feeds and one caught my eye...headline read "HGTV Cancels...." and had a picture of the Fixer Upper Couple...well of course the article was bogus and had no real information so I researched and discovered that not only did they not cancel Fixer Upper, it's opening show was TOP RATED with over 4 million viewers...THIS is how we stand with some of these who are attacked..Most of TV and Hollywood understand $$$$$$
    and nothing more....

    We DVR it and watch it all the time. I think we've seen it from the beginning.

    I have watched it some...their family involvement time with the kids certainly makes them unique...and worth watching.

    I need to figure out when it its and set the PVR ... I actually really enjoyed their show. There's a difference in how they treat and talk to each other compared to other couples who do the same type of show. We watched several in a row that evening before the season premiere.

    Our house needs a major sprucing up and I love seeing the end result... I just can't stand the mess and "confusion" when doing renovations so it takes me forever to get there. I need to go away for several months and let someone else have at'er.
