Does that mean that an atheist believes that he cannot sin?JesusIsTheWay said:Anything that goes against God or something God has said.

Any behavour that cannot and will not be supported by God.oracle said:What is your definition of sin?
The New testament itself says "that he who knew no sin became sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in him."Jensa said:Does that mean Jesus is a sin? He supposedly overturned a lot of what the OT said.
Circle_One said:Well, if I had to choose between being in the Grace of your God--having my soul spend eternity with Him in Heaven, but having to be an intolerant bigot..and being tolerant towards all other people but because of this, spending eternity in hell....I'd be grabbing my sun block.
I cannot see how people can say Jesus was compassionate and loving and God is loving and whatnot, yet there are people who still condemn homosexuality in His name. I don't see the compassion or love in this. It seems people like this would rather live their lives by a book (a book written millenia ago) than live their lives by common decency and compassion...again..where's the sun block, because I'd rather be in hell than have to be the kind of person who condemns someone for their sexuality.
Well... here's what we do. I'll tolerate your homosexuality, you come on to church: but you keep your sexuality a secret. I don't need to know, we'll just worship God and glorify him for being who he is.... but I need you to do one thing for me please tolerate the bible Kj version for me. And if there's anything in there that makesw you unconfortable we'll just ignore it for now, but you come to church, listen to the preacher so long aas he believes the bible as the authoritative Word of God. Jesus tells us that his word s shall never pass away. This is how I got to know him and yes there are some things he says that I didn't like but I had to accept the things that he says because He is runnint things He is the captian of salvation. So we'll let him decide. I can live with that....
If you truly believe the bible, then I also had him die for me. And I never particularly said that I have a problem with deliverance...if it made Jesus happy to deliver peoples sins, I'm happy for him.What? do you have a problem with deliverance from sin. I don't I'm glad to have someone die, lay down his life, let his own blood pay the price, take in himself the sting of death, accept rejection for me, to be all alone on the cross, before a mean and hateful croud that spit on him drove spikes into his hands and feet, set acrown of thorns on his head, when he could have called a legion of angels to his rescue at anytime.
That's a shame. I feel sorry for you. Perhaps homosexuals would do a better job. You see, they face pain and torture every day from supposed Christians, who make their lives miserable by constantly harrassing them. So I must say that they would be actually more like Jesus than you. seeing as how they take the pain and torment and don't usually fight back. That is very much like Jesus, is it not? That would make those who hate homosexuals be similar to those who tortured Jesus.I know that if it was me that the very idea of going through that judging by my own weakness of character that I have displayed in the past I would have caloled those angels and chose the easy way out for me, and left you to face the eternal wrath of God who is able to raise a better race of people out of the rocks on the ground. Forgive my rants.
The fact that you would compare yourself to Jesus in sufferings means only one thing.Since you identify yourself with homosexuals you must be of a reprobate mind and can never understand that homosexualoity is sinful. Since you cannot recognize this it is obvious to me that this is what has happened. Sorry!Prima said:That's a shame. I feel sorry for you. Perhaps homosexuals would do a better job.

The homosexual man has not the power of God in him. It is because he does not understand that homosexuality is sinful. God heareth not Sinners John chp6.Maize said:In spite of your preaching, you didn't answer my question. Let state it another way: Why would teachings of non-violence, compassion and love from homosexual man have any less meaning than from a heterosexual man?
(BTW, this is OT but I'll state it anyway, homosexuality IS NOT a behavior it is a sexuality!)
And what of the homosexual that DOES have God's power and his love and his blessing? I seem to have met some of themDr. Khan said:The homosexual man has not the power of God in him. It is because he does not understand that homosexuality is sinful. God heareth not Sinners John chp6.
Hi, Dr Khan,Dr. Khan said:The fact that you would compare yourself to Jesus in sufferings means only one thing.Since you identify yourself with homosexuals you must be of a reprobate mind and can never understand that homosexualoity is sinful. Since you cannot recognize this it is obvious to me that this is what has happened. Sorry!
You might want to get that checked out before it festers...Dr. Khan said:For it is written "you have an unction from the Holy one and you know all things.
Well, if he doesn't understand that homosexuality is sinful, it's certainly not from lack of people telling him so. And if God's not in the business of listening to sinners, then why the hell is ANYONE on their knees praying?Dr. Khan said:The homosexual man has not the power of God in him. It is because he does not understand that homosexuality is sinful. God heareth not Sinners John chp6.

So if God said to slaughter women and children, then that's not sinful? God apperently ordered slaughter in the OT. So if they didn't obey this order they would have comitted sin?JesusIsTheWay said:Anything that goes against God or something God has said.

IF sin is tolerated, then why are you pointing out someone's speck in their eye? I don't think that it is so much as non-acceptable, I think heterosexuality or homosexuality does not apply. "Heaven" is non-sexual. However whether hetero or homo, we are sexual creatures, and our sexuality cannot be suppressed. Whether you are hetero or homo, you still have sexual thoughts and sin. Don't lie or pretend that you don't. People who suppress their sexuality and pretend that they don't have one usually end up with a psychological complex. And BTW all sin is the same in God's eyes.Dr. Khan said:Any behavour that cannot and will not be supported by God.
He is veery clear on the matter.
Sin is tolerated in this earth. but not in heaven.
Heaven is about Jesus Christ. everything in it. If you have pleasure in activity in the earth that is not acceptable in heaven..... well, I believe that speaks for itself.
Read John chp 5 or six. A certain blind man was healed and he used this anolagy with the pharasees.Maize said:LL, brings up a good point... I thought your religion taught that EVERYONE, including the holier-than-thous, are sinners? Are you saying that your God listens to no one?
