Fruits of the Spirit not Gay

[MercyBurst]

What attitude?

Here are the fruits of the spirit as stated in Galatians:

22

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23

Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24

And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

Do you have joy and peace in your life about being gay? Is this the best God has to offer?

 

[MercyBurst]

I did and you ignored the post.

Your agenda is showing.

How about a simple favor -- a link to that post.

 

[Melethiel]

People, lay off the personal attacks and discuss the topic.

One word answer to that, Yes

 

[MercyBurst]

One word answer to that, Yes

So you say you feel no conviction about it. What about this verse in Galatians 5?

24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

What do you suppose it means?

While I do not agree entirly with either side..the premise is horrible.
trying to pick at others.
it is one thing to discuss an actual topic.
i do not see that happening though.
I see someone setting themselves up as a judge in a very ungodly way.
how sad

I'm not looking at other people. Other people don't save me. I'm looking at Jesus. Jesus saves me.

So Mercy,

When Davedjy provides you with evidence that there are Gay Christians showing the fruit of the spirit, you move the goal-posts?

I agree entirely. This whole thing has gotten way out of hand.

I warned you guys ealier. always look at the intent of the messenger.

 

[MrsJoy]

um,
if you call showing up on page 15 and screaming "troll , troll" doing so.
i think there is a big difference between one with bad motives (although possibly good intentions) and a troll.

When the bible categorically teaches that there is no such thing as a practicing homosexual Christian then one must take a stand for truth.

true, but that's not what's happening here

 

[davedjy]

When the bible categorically teaches that there is no such thing as a practicing homosexual Christian then one must take a stand for truth.

Just like there is no such thing as a christian who is a liar, a drunk, a cheater, a thief, etc.

I guess since you stand sinless before God, please inform all of us why you need a Savior?

Actually the Bible says nothing of the sort.

 

[davedjy]

Actually you are correct, Kiwimac LOL!!!

 

[VCViking]

Actually the Bible says nothing or very little about homosexuality. It's because of mistranslations and misinterpretations that we have these assumptions. God doesn't condemn love. I'd rather marry a women I'm truly in love with than a man I only partly love. And love is blessing of God.

That's called compromising.

The Bible is very clear on homosexuality and any sex outside of marriage for that matter. And it's not a mistranslation or misinterpretation. You can't mold the Bible to fit your sinful desires. We are the ones that need to be molded.
