NASB | Romans 1:21 For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 1:21 For even though they knew God [as the Creator], they did not honor Him as God or give thanks [for His wondrous creation]. On the contrary, they became worthless in their thinking [godless, with pointless reasonings, and silly speculations], and their foolish heart was darkened. |
Subject: Faithful response to gays / lesbians? |
Bible Note: EdB: My point was that if the reason a person is divorced must examined case by case in consideration for serving positions. I think of a Pastor of a very large SBC church that is in Atlanta GA. In his case the church kept him and there is no apparent problems with the church in accepting a divorced man who was divorced as a Christian. I sincerely hope they are as forgiving and redemptive in persons leaving sinful life styles. I had made my note to respond that I am not sure how to work with a homosexual couple attending church as a regular attender, and participant in church activities. I believe in my best recall, that all sin is forgiven in the same way. Is it not mankind that often judges harsher than the Lord? Relating a man giving birth to a Christian whom the Lord has forgiven does not realy compair, I don't think. One is stubborness on Christians, the other is not even remotely possible. How whould the church of today handel David today? I believe the results would have been much different, don't you? Thoughts? justme |
