We all have a sinful side and are born into sin. We have to learn how to contend with and control our sinful nature while looking to God to become more holy. I was born with a terrible temper. God didn't make me that way. It is my sinful nature. I had to learn how to control and contend with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283638.post-17014347747556088582014-06-10T10:19:44.533-04:002014-06-10T10:19:44.533-04:00There is no scientific proof that homosexuality is...There is no scientific proof that homosexuality is biologically determined. The Human Genome Project, in brief, found no gay gene. Identical twin studies have disproved any genetic cause. Why would the process of evolution, think about it, produce and advance a "gay gene"? Many "gay scholars" take issue with the claim that homosexuality is determined before birth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283638.post-80625301622219813912010-11-16T15:53:14.193-05:002010-11-16T15:53:14.193-05:00The question that you have to ask yourself is why ...The question that you have to ask yourself is why most people's experience of human sexuality - that some people are born gay - is so at odds with some passages in the Bible. If you don't have a problem with discarding the passages that condone slavery, then why shouldn't you similarly read the passages about homosexuality in the same way?<br /><br />If the issue is with sex outside of marriage, then the answer is simply to allow gay people the same marriage rights as everybody else.thermalsatsumahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05779925171712284416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283638.post-45187807837880169642010-10-25T21:00:22.695-04:002010-10-25T21:00:22.695-04:00Amazing.

They are so, so lost, & don't even seem to know it.<br /><br />My church didn't even want to entertain the notion of leaving the ELCA (refused to vote on putting it to a vote!), so I & my family had to leave. We've partnered with several other families who found themselves similarly troubled, & thus, similarly convicted, & we have formed a new church. Our first worship was last November 1st. This Reformation Day, being so close to our one year anniversary, will be a joyous one for us, to be sure!<br /><br />BrendaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
