[...] met in Minneapolis in August to decide the fate of gay and lesbian clergy. Despite a tornado (which the religious right saw as a warning from God) the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America voted to allow the ordination of gay and lesbian clergy [...]

Look I am a ex-gay and I am in homosexual ministry, we uphold all laws on sexual purity and the Condemnation and Hate from other along with the Christian Church are not going to help the sistuation. I do not feel that this weather concern was rath on the Homosexual. But we are commanded to love one another as God loves us. Its not about homosexuality to striaghtness its about Homosexuality to Holiness. That should be our concern it is there soul along with every other person out there. Let God do the Convicting of hearts. and let us just pray that they are saved and walk by them as brothers. May God bless you all! Remember to Keep Christ in your hearts and in Christmas!

Mrs. Betty Bowers, America’s Best Christian, concisely explains the church’s teachings on homosexuality with this simple chart: http://www.bettybowers.com/bibleinterpretation.html

It will help you understand why the issue of homosexuality is of such overriding concern to some within the church.

All extramarital sex is considered sinful in the eyes of God. I am dismayed at the choice my church has made to ordain those actively practicing the homosexual lifestyle with no remorse. Let me also say, I would be equally dismayed if my pastor had an extramarital affair, a divorce, or was living with a woman in a non-marital, sexually active situation. WeLutherans, who are all sinners, do love and welcome all other sinners. However, we whouse the Word of God as our authority do not want active, unrepentant sinners in leadership of us.

GOD BLESS YOU FOR SPEAKING THE TRUTH JOHN PIPER!!!
You have been slandered for standing on behalf of righteousness, but the Fathers opinion is all that matters.

“When God created humans he created them MALE AND FEMALE. Some may not like it, but its FACT just check your bible.!!!”

Last time I checked, what constitutes MALE and FEMALE is very vague indeed. What is your definition dear? There are over two hundered intersexed conditions in the world, many of them leaving the person genderly ambiguous. And even if you wish to ignore reality, what has being male and female got to do with same sex attraction? And even if you wish to ignore everything altogether and follow the scripture, the scripture did mention there are those who are born eunuchs. If I were you, I would really take a good hard look at yourself in the mirror… sigh….

“The problem is it seems that there’s a lot of “cutting and pasting” the scripture to make it like you want it to be. We have to take the scripture in its entirety if we are to use it, not just pick and choose what is of our liking. God doesn’t care if we agree with it or not. He inspired it for us to live by and he commanded it. He didn’t ask for our measly human opinions!!!”

Finally we have found someone that agrees to kill those pesky naughty children and those idiots who work on Sundays! Finally Gail realises the biblical truth that asks her to shut her mouth up! Erm… wait a minute? Why is Gail commenting here? Did the Bible not forbid her too talk?….

Sorry to have to respond again but perhaps those who want to use scipture to justify their scorning,actions and judging which goes againist the teachings of Jesus should read Matthew ch.7 verses 1-4 and 1 Corthians ch.1 verses 27-31.Who is anyone to know the mind of God and who is anyone to judge his creation for him?

Who are we to act as if we are God?!!!
The facts are still fact even if some do not choose to see it. When God created humans he created them MALE AND FEMALE. Some may not like it, but its FACT just check your bible.!!!
Was God in the tornado that hit Minneapolis? I don’t know. He certainly could have been. Does that mean he is in every act of nature? All I know is that Moses saw God in a burning bush, but that doesn’t mean that God is in every burning bush out there. It seems that there has been a lot of PEOPLE making comments and it all seems to have scripture to back it up. The problem is it seems that there’s a lot of “cutting and pasting” the scripture to make it like you want it to be. We have to take the scripture in its entirety if we are to use it, not just pick and choose what is of our liking. God doesn’t care if we agree with it or not. He inspired it for us to live by and he commanded it. He didn’t ask for our measly human opinions!!!
