They can be used to say anything the owner of it wants to put on.

I imagine that there is a book that has been put out that says what that web site says. But the world is full of such hogwash ! Only th Bible is the spirit breathed word of God. Everything else is suspect.
I see nothing to indicate that the site was created by or for homosexuals.

World Policy Institute - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Interestingly enough the World Policy Journal, which is the flagship of the World Policy Institute, was recognized by Roll Call as the publication most cited in the Congressional Record.

The Congressional Record is the official record of proceedings of the United States Congress.

So.. I truly don't believe Congress would reference more than any other journal.. an organization that is "based on homosexuals".

Maybe I'm wrong..

but I doubt it.

Sadly this goes to extremes to justify sin. What an abomination of God's word.
May the author be forgiven for their blindness.

godspeed,

Amen !

And Big Thirsty evidently thinks Wikipedia is infallible. A little research will find that they have printed many things that are questionable.

I forgive you as well for your ignorance. Ignorance breeds fear, fear breeds hatred; empathy breeds compassion and compassion breeds love ; ) There's none closer to my heart than God and one day he and I will meet and it will be his judgement that I will accept - not yours.

I think we have different definitions of fear. I certainly don't hate, and i do have compassion for people that struggle with homosexuality, and for all of us that are in sin.
Maybe my view is not held by all, but i do believe we can overcome all weakness and sin by living the teachings of Christ.
Mocking His word and distorting a clear teaching on immorallity is not the best way to honor our Father.

Unless you are the author, i was not judging you. If you are the author, then what i said still stands.

godspeed,


freedom

So..no compassion for those NOT struggling with homosexuality??? All though I am a lesbian...I'm not struggling my dear. I thank God everyday for making me the person I am...caring, compassionate, loving..what more could I ask for. You should pray for the same. I carry no hate.. for any of God's children.

I don't understand this sentence. Are you asking if i have compassion for others? If so, yes.

I'm glad.

Though i think we all have struggles whether gay or straight, its nice to know that there is someone out there that is not struggling.

Love is the key. The more we give the more we can receive, which means we have more to give.

We have something in common then.

Truly i'm not your enemy. We just disagree, not a big deal. You get to state your perspective, and i mine. Thats all.

godspeed,

That's great that you are not struggling with what you are. I am as straight as an arrow, but I struggle dayly with what I am. I have never been content that I am as good as I would like to be.
Thanks be to God, He knows my heart, and is guiding me through His word, and my obedience to it.

It's all good my dear : ) A borrowed quote: "For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don't believe, no proof is available". I look forward to the day when this will be a non-issue and we can move onto more important issues... one's that God would prefer we focus on that don't involve judgement or hatred.

I'm glad you can bear someone like freedom, wiley. That requires a numbness to reason and a tolerance for intractable idiocy that I simply do not possess. Kudos to you.
