21 | Homosexual are picked on in the church? | Rom 3:23 | journey_me | 177301 | ||
I was researching homosexuality on this website, and everyone seems to point to 1 Cor 6:9, as proof that homosexuality is wrong. The problem that I have is that this verse names every sin, and every human being falls under one of those categories, so why do people ignore the rest of the verse, and pick on homosexuals. Every human being is either an idolater, adulterer, covetous, swindler, immoral, or a fornicator in some way are another. Why are all these people allowed to be Christians, but homosexuals are not. Every human being is a sinner and being a homosexual is no different from being a fornicator, God said sexual immorality is wrong. Why are ministers allowed to hold positions in the church when they are not married, we know they having sex. Why are pregnant women who are not married allowed right and benefits when we know they are fornicators. Can someone please show me or advised me, where the bible singles out homosexuality as the only damning sin. For the record I am not gay, I'm married with 2 children, but I was reading some of the comments and I was outraged. My brother-in-law is gay and his brother won't talk to him because the bible says it's wrong, however he is not married and lost his virginity at 14. |

27 | Dr. Rebecca Brown? | 2 Pet 1:3 | journey_me | 153299 | ||
That is what I believe and that is why I was asking has anyone read this book. My mother-in-law thinks ignorance may lead to us opening the doors for evil. I believe the bible is the authority, and God would have given great detail if he felt is was necessary for us to know Satan and his philosophy. However in Ephesians 6:12, he does tell us. "12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." She takes this to mean that we need to be aware of who the evil doers are and what they are doing. I take this to mean that evil doers are out there and that you need to be equipped with the word of God, when you come in contact with them. | ||||||

Anyone here heard of Dr. Rebecca Brown, she has written a series of books on santanism and the Christian believer. Do you think this book is trash or important. My mother-in-law wants me to read it because she thinks satnism is real and we must know what's out there so that we can be equipped to battle. Any thoughts? | ||||||

32 | Why does he fall asleep at church? | Luke 8:15 | journey_me | 153258 | ||
It is not the devil hindering your husband, it is your husband hindering himself. He says he believes in God, but he doesn't understand and he hasn't a clue what all that entails. He needs to first find his passion for Christ, so that he may be hungry for the word. It could be that he is at a church where he is unable to grow spiritually. He needs to find a church home, where he is moved by the spirit. I had the same experience years ago. I thought church was boring because I wasn't hungry for the word, it was something my mom made me do. One day I heard a sermon and it changed my life. I began to want to know more about God, and I started reading the bible. I found myself anxious for the next sermon. It sounds like he believes in God because he thinks it is the right thing to do, similar to a kid in church. He doesn't realize that christianity is about a personal intimate relationship with God, and not just about sitting in church. It may also be that he doesn't know his God given puurpose in life, in which many of us don't, because we don't have faith, we have religion. The best thing to do is to pray about it, and trust God will lead you to a church or person that will spark his spiritual motivation. Last, don't force him or push God on him. By this I mean, some people are more gifted in discussing Christ than others. This does not mean, you can't talk about God with your husband. This simply mean, there may be others who can spark the flame. Sometimes as a spouse we try so hard that husbands or wives become put off by our actions and they associate it with church or Christ. Be patient. I hope this helps. |

33 | Is santanism real? Spiritual World? | Not Specified | journey_me | 153256 | ||
My mother-n-law says that we have to be careful in not knowing about the spiritual world. She says withcraft and santanism is out there, whether or not we give power to it. Raising of the dead, and calling the spirits are all mention in the bible. I always believed that God is the only power and that if you believe those things exist that you were giving power to them. She says if you are not aware of them, you could be opening your house to those bad spirits. Where in the bible does it talk about these spirits. I have read the new testaments, and I know Jesus talk to the legion of demons, but are they really spirits. When the bibe talks about demons and devils, I always thought they were talking about people and sins, not some spirit. Just because someone practice witchcraft doesn't make it real, right? Any book suggestions. Where in the bible is Lucifer cast out of heaven? Are the link of angels? What does that mean? |

35 | Galatians 3, Why did God create the law? | Not Specified | journey_me | 146735 | ||
I don't understand why God created the Law, if it was a curse? Galatians 3:10 All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.” Does that mean God set people up to fail? Galatains 3;21-22 Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law. 22 But the Scripture declares that the whole world is a prisoner of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe. If Jesus was the only person who entered heaven through the law, why was the law created? How then could anyone be righteous? I do not understand this chapter and it doesn't seem to make since. I keep going in circles. Please do not right the answer is clear. Positive people only. |

37 | Law v Faith. Are Jews Condemened? | Not Specified | journey_me | 146657 | ||
BradK help me to create a question. What covenant did God have with Abraham and was that covenant fulfilled through Jesus? Does that mean that those Jews who died before Christ will not be resurrected, or will not enter the kingdom of heaven? Or are those Jews saved because of God's Covenant? Does that mean that those Jews who still practice the law after Christ is condemned? | ||||||

39 | Do you have to know Christ? | Eph 2:8 | journey_me | 146656 | ||
I believe you are right and believe what I have said was not written to convey the message clearly. I think what I was saying is that god made a promise though Abraham (the law) and through Jesus (faith). I was trying interpret what I believed the pastor was saying. I do believe that you are saved though faith along, but it is my undrstanding that Jews follow the law, because of a promise God made to Abraham, and that they believe they are saved as long as they follow the law or until their "messiah" comes (although we know he has already come). Is this correct? Galtians 3:6 Consider Abraham: “He believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”[a] 7Understand, then, that those who believe are children of Abraham. 8The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.”[b] 9So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith. |

40 | Is sex marriage? Premarital Sex: Sin? | Not Specified | journey_me | 146653 | ||
I have to re-post this question because it was not answered, I thank you for the scriptures you provided, however, you provided scripture that sparked my question in the first place. Sexual Immorality is a braod term. Where in the bible does it make reference to premarital sex as immoral or loss of virginity as immoral? Is sexual immorality something we define according to social ethics or is the bible clear on premarital sex. Please no quick fix answer, I'm looking for more than just the surface. I am trying to pinpoint where the idea of no sex before marriage came from. I also think the answer may be that sex is marriage, and multiple partners is adulterous. I need some scriptires and some biblical philosophy on this point. If you do not feel like going into detail on your stance, please leave question posted for someone else to answer:) Thanks Here is the original question: I have always been told that premarital sex is a sin. I have also been taught that fornication is a sin as well. I know the bible speaks of sexual imorality and list the various ones, but I never got a sense that they were talking about premarital sex, it seems to me that they were talking about lasciviousness, or multiple sex partners. I know Paul calls for us to abstain from sex and if we choose to engage in sex, that we should marry, but where does it say that premarital sex is wrong (Corinthians 7)? I also know that the bible speaks highly of virginity, is the opposite of virginity whoredom? Is there not an in between. Is sex before marriage something that derived from social ethics, or am I just not looking in the right place for my answer. |
