2 | Please explain the following verses... | Rom 1:27 | Johnny | 5689 | ||
Chuck, Your scripture verses support my point. Lev 20:13 - homosexual acts are immoral Lev 20:15 - deals with animals - the term homosexual does not relate to people who have sex with animals. I Corr. 6:9 - homosexual offenders - those who practice homosexual acts 1 Tim 1:10 - again those who practice perverted acts Jude 1:7 - again those who practice perversion What I was trying to say is that God creates us all different. A person who is homosexual has a special burden to bear - they are attracted to people of the same sex. What a cross, eh? But, like your brother-in-law, with the help of Christ they can overcome the temptation and live in the light of Christ as long as they do not practice homosexual acts. Do you think God doesn't love them just as much as he loves you? Isn't Jesus' message for everyone? And homosexuality is just one of many sins that a person can fall into. The question was 'Should a homosexual person be able to be ordained?' You could ask the question a different way .. 'Should a sinner be able to be ordained?' And since we are all sinners, what would your answer be then? If only the perfect were called to spread the Gospel, we would not have any ordained ministers. For as far as I know, there was only one perfect person, Jesus, and they nailed him to a tree. Look at Mary Magdalene. She was a whore - caught practicing immoral sexual acts. Yet, Jesus Christ himself called her to be one of his closest friends. Was she still a whore after his call? Yes, but she didn't practice her sin anymore. If a homosexual is called by God to become his messenger as an ordained minister, I don't want to be the one standing here judging them that they are not worthy. Does that make any sense? Or am I really off on this? Johnny |

3 | How is comunion only symbolic? | 1 Cor 10:16 | Johnny | 5605 | ||
But, didn't Jesus say "Take and eat; this is my body." Matthew 26:12, and "This is my blood of the covenant: Matthew 26:28. He didn't say "this is a symbol of my body, or a symbol of my blood". And then, didn't he say "Do this in memory of me." Luke 22:19. This has always been a problem for me and I would love to hear more on this subject. | ||||||
4 | Should homosexuals be ordained? | Rom 1:27 | Johnny | 5597 | ||
Careful here. God creates all of us, and we are to love each other, regardless of race, religion, or sexual preference. It's not the fact that a person is a homosexual that is wrong, but what the person does, i.e. sexual acts with someone of the same sex. So, if a person is homosexual and lives a life of chasity, I do not believe that anyone has the right to place judgement on him/her or the ministry that God may call them to do in this life. | ||||||
5 | How is Jesus like a shepherd? | John 10:14 | Johnny | 5595 | ||
Kay Arthur has a book "Wandering Woolly : A Lamb's Life in the 23rd Psalm" that deals with this question - its only 40 pages long. I think the idea is that sheep are pretty stupid animals and depend on the shepherd for food, protection, water, shelter, etc. In that manner, we are dependent on Jesus for everything. | ||||||
