Hello, gospelcompilation: I am truly sorry that you are offended, but, Brother Steve has tried to direct you to a proper understanding of the Word of God, with the Word of God. My dear friend, giving out the Word of God is the most loving thing a man or women can do, period! You, by the way, have yet to do so. You have now said, in reply to him, that you don't understand where he is coming from. Now, while he has used God's Word to back up what he has tried to teach you and you have not even given a jot of scripture to back up what you are teaching, I would have to say that it is you that is not showing love or kindness or patience. And so in conclusion my friend, I must say that if you cannot understand the Word of God, then you are the one that is not spirit filled, as you have accused us of being.
John 12:40 "HE HAS BLINDED THEIR EYES AND HE HARDENED THEIR HEART, SO THAT THEY WOULD NOT SEE WITH THEIR EYES AND PERCEIVE WITH THEIR HEART, AND BE CONVERTED AND I HEAL THEM."
I pray that God open your eyes my friend.
God bless
John
P.S. If you find this place offensive, then yes, you truly are in the wrong place. But I pray that you find a loving heart behind the rebukes that you have received and stay, study the Word of God with us, learn to love it as we have here at the forum most thankfully and respectfully do. |

Shalom Mr C,
Welcome to the Forum.
This is not going to be the answer that you want, but maybe it will be helpful to counsel your son - so here goes:
1 Cor. 6:9 says "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals 10 "nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God."
And further, read 1 Cor. 6:15-20 and especially verse 18 "Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body..."
So the above verses agree with you, God hates the sin of homosexuality.
Does God love the sinner? Absolutely!! He gave His only Son to redeem each and every sinner from the bondage of sin!
Can your son remain a homosexual and still be saved? Yes and No.
First let's deal with the "no". He CANNOT be saved and live an active homosexual life.
But Yes he can be saved and totally sell out to God's word and live the rest of his life celibately (it's been done before!). For that matter, if your son will let Him, God can completely renew your son's mind and heart! That's been done before too!!
Gal. 6:7 "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. 8 "For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life."
Sorry, this wasn't exactly the answer that you wanted, but it's what the Bible says. And 1 Cor chapter 6 also says that what you join yourself to is what you become one with (that would be either a prostitute, another homosexual, or the Lord Himself - but you can't join yourself to both).
I will be praying for you and your son

Perhaps you should ask the one Steve offended if his post was "very well stated, with commendable kindness and patience."

Perhaps you should tell these things to your compatriots, Doc.
I didn't attack anyone when I came on here; but rather, I offered kind words of comfort to those I saw in need.
But these people you praise so highly responded with nothing but harsh criticism and slanderous remarks. One even stooped to hurling insults.
This may be a Bible Study Forum, Doc... but that doesn't mean it's a holy Spirit filled forum. A person may appear to have a knowledge of Scripture, but it doesn't mean anything without the character of Christ; even the devil can quote Scripture.
And, as a new member of the forum, I have strictly adhered to the Lockman standard; whereas the few who have responded to my posts have not.
They have not "Limited content that contains known denominational biases that produce potential strife and undue conflict." They have "pushed their denominational bias and engaged in debates." They have not "interacted with [new members] in a Christian spirit, with respect and grace." They have not "let their speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that they will know how to respond to [new members]."
So go tell your friends to read the Lockman standards. They need it far more than I.
And thank them for their warm, friendly welcome.
Not.

gospelcompilation :: You say you are "merely sharing my views of God's wonderful word." Thus far you have not graced this Forum with anything from "God's wonderful word" but merely opinion, not a word of which has been backed up by even as much as an identifiable scripural allusion, much less a direct quotation. . ....... You conclude with "Perhaps I came to the wrong place." Perhaps so. As the name of the web site clearly implies, this is a forum for studying the Bible, a Study Bible Forum indeed, but decidedly not a place that permits or welcomes a string of mere opinions, speculations or guesses based on mere opinions, speculations or guesses. If you wish to continue to post, please read carefully the terms of use and follow them to the best of your ability. ..... And by the way, the Bible leaves the reasonable reader no room whatever to doubt its condemnation of the sin of homosexuality ...... You say that "Scripture is not a weapon to be used...but an intimate, personal teaching device." I don't know where you got this idea, but a citation is clearly needed. Here's what the Bible says: "For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart" (Hebrews 4:12). It also says: "All Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work" (2 Timothy 3:16,17). This Forum holds to the doctrine of sola scriptura; and thus we hold the word of God in high regard on all spiritual matters and the word of man in low regard. --Hank |

To answer your suppositions and questions, Steve, would take far more time that I am willing to expend on a site such as this. I do have a life, after all, and I owe no man anything.
I'm not even sure what you were trying to say in this post, and it has left me more confused on your position. From your statements, I have to assume that you believe God does indeed force us to do things and/or forces things upon us. I also have to assume that you do not believe in a person's free will to choose anything.
So be it.
You're right. And so am I.
But I'm curious, Steve. How do you think your responses to my post have helped the individual who asked the question about their son being homosexual. Or... in your zeal to find fault with my theology, did you forget about the one who is hurting?
Whatever your agenda was, I hope you achieved it.

Greetings,
God is only the father of those that have put their total faith in the finished work of Christ.
John 1:12
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Galatians 3:26
For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
Only those that are secure in Christ can say that God is their father.
God only created Adam and Eve the rest of us are procreated.
Those that have total faith and trust in Gods Messiah have become a new creation as per,
II Cor. 5:17
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Those that haven't trusted in Jesus are actually under God's wrath at this very moment.
John 3:36
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
Have you came to the place yet in your spiritual walk where you know “for sure” that eternal life is reserved in heaven for you, or is that something you are still working on?
If you would be so kind and take a few minutes and fill out something about yourself in the Personal Profile section of the forum it sure would help those who are trying to post with you.
It’s called USER INFO and is located on the left side of the home page.
Have a great day, CDBJ

Dear Brother Doc,
Thank you very much for the quotes. Is it possible to access the book online to read? If not, is it still sold at bookstores?
Shalom
