Doggy,
2) Jesus died on the cross next to two theives. Your point fails in that you left out the distinction that PROVES my point. The thief ACCEPTED JESUS as the SON of GOD before he died and asked for intercession on his behalf. He repented when presented with the TRUTH and KNOWLEDGE of who JESUS was at that moment. He did not die as a thief but as the last person "saved" by the living Christ. The distinction being that these two fellows in the article have no intention of REPENTING.
You explain things so well!
And this is exactly what's wrong with the state of the church, and our country. According to the Bible and Doggy's post, SINS are WEAKNESSES of HUMAN CHARACTER that we are born into. The things that GOD ABHORS are those WICKED things that we willfully do that we know to be against GOD's will. Again, Jesus died on the Cross for our SINS not our WICKEDNESS. And what God hates the most, is when we, CHRISTIANS try to make it right in the eyesight of God. God does not change...if it was an ABOMINATION (not sin) in Leviticus, in Jude, and many other Chapters, it's wrong now! That simple. Stop trying to make the church accept that! It's not right. HOMOSEXUALITY is an abomination to God. This is scripture.
Not too long ago, one my close friends told me that he was bisexual. I didn't cast him to the dogs. He's the one that has to give an account the Lord. I am not mean or biased to homosexuals. That's their business, but it's the Pastors place to inform his members about RIGHT and WRONG. And it seems as though many Pastors focus on prosperity. Being prosperous on earth is not going to get us in Heaven. We MUST live according to God's word.
