Have we ourselves forgotten how to think? Many answers are given in our holy documents. However I would concede that not all are given.<BR/><BR/>Are you moral? Do you believe in the greatest commandment above all else?<BR/><BR/>If the answer to those questions is yes, then fear not; I assure you your reward is given in heaven.Caseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04519268711488665580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9975757.post-45826350671513306602008-09-09T14:56:00.000-07:002008-09-09T14:56:00.000-07:00So if a homosexual claims to be a Christian but continues in homosexuality, should they be allowed to attend church? Can they be a member? <BR/><BR/>Is it more important to address the sin in their life or their brokenness? In other words is it OK to first not address the fact that they are gay &amp; find out &amp; deal with what is the cause of the sin (which would involve building a authentic relationship) then later address it&#39;s a sin?<BR/><BR/>I think people get the don&#39;t throw a stone thing, as long as the person goes &amp; &quot;sin&#39;s no more&quot;, but if they continue in that sin then stoning it is...<BR/><BR/>Homosexuality gets really difficult with the idea that one was born that way or it is not by choice &amp; people will genuinely feel that way-not just make it up. Especially in our American culture, that is different than the other lifestyles of sin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9975757.post-79268407037112181972008-09-05T10:27:00.000-07:002008-09-05T10:27:00.000-07:00Nicely done. I would ask about the churches response since the person considers themselves a christian, but chooses to continue in sin what is the churches response in light of Matt 8:15-18? <BR/><BR/>If a brother or sister sins, go and point out the fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses. If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or tax collector.<BR/><BR/>An I would ask the same questions of any christian that "continues" in sin regardless of the sin. We are all sinners, but we need to repent and fall on our faces before the HOLY Jesus.Rick and Virginiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00378541179228484219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9975757.post-50572960731683917372008-09-04T23:55:00.000-07:002008-09-04T23:55:00.000-07:00did they suggest you not use that at a wed night service as well?? it definatly needs to be heard.cecilianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9975757.post-29355849735487674972008-09-04T21:32:00.000-07:002008-09-04T21:32:00.000-07:00i hope you get to share this one with us soon justin, it real good, GOD is awesome and HIS truth is freeing!
