1 Corinthians 10:23, all things are legitimate (permissible - and we are free to do anything we please), but not all things are helpful (expedient, profitable, and wholesome). All things are legitimate, but not all things are constructive (to character) and edifying (to spiritual life).

This scripture, out of the all the scriptures that could have been chosen, is so important to meditate on. We, as Christians, and humans in general, are FREE MORAL agents, meaning we have free will and the choice to live out we want to live. However, Deuteronomy 30:19 states that "I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live."

One fails to realize that the lives that we choose to live has a large impact on the generations to follow. It is important to choose the lifestyle that God says to live, and that's a life of blessing. Walk according to his Word. Walk by the SPIRIT and not by the flesh that is so easily tempted.

We fail to realize that we live in preverse times and that the nation in which we live was built and founded upon the very CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES that many of you ignore and choose not to live by.

I know this may be off subject but it is important to realize that GOD sent his only begotten son to die for us. However, once he took on the form of humanity, he had a decision to make like all of us. It was an easier decision to make but yet he still agonized to the point that he shed drops of sweat. Why reject someone that took the pressures, the cares, the sins, the burdens, and the yokes for you?

How can you harden your heart to the truth and the very veracity of God's word? Homosexuality is a sin, which God hates, but his word mentions that there are other sins that he hates (read Proverbs "can't remember exact chapter & verse" but its the 7 things that are an abomination to God).

Yes God loves the sinner and hates the sin, so therefore, if you claim to be in Christ, it is your (our) responsibility to point them to the truth and continuously lift them up in prayer. Once we do that, their blood will no longer be on our hands, because we have done our part.

did we ever establish if you are .... ...Or you are just using pink in your username?
