There is no fear in Love. Perfect love casts out ALL FEAR.

GOD IS LOVE.

The truth is this:

GOD LOVES YOU.

PERIOD.

Nothing you can do will ever stop God from loving you.

LOVE cannot be stopped.
We tried to KILL IT on the cross and LOVE OVERCAME.

The power of God is LOVE, for God IS LOVE.

Those who mock love and attempt to reduce it to comical terms are just ignorant for the time being. One day they will come to understand their error and the true power of love will fill their hearts with everlasting joy at just WHAT LOVE actually ACCOMPLISHES. Love conquers ALL. Every knee will bow.

Genesis 6:5
The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth,
and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.
  • Satan with his lies and those who speak for him disagree

Isaiah 64:6
All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags;
  • Satan with his lies and those who speak for him disagree
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Psalm 143:2
Do not bring your servant into judgment, for no one living is righteous before you.

Romans 3:10
As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one;
  • Satan with his lies and those who speak for him disagree
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
John 8:47
Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”

God spoke John 8:47, Romans 3:10, Psalm 143:2, Isaiah 64:6, Genesis 6:5.

God said it. That's good enough. God created 2 genders--male and female. He did not create "gay" where we get to pick whoever we want to be with.

Why aren't you worried about, I donno, kids getting beaten by their alcoholic parents?
Why the false dichotomy? Is it not possible to be concerned with both?

Lesbians are such a worry to you that they deserve a thread? Really? I remain amazed at the priorities of the religious right. Kids are getting the crap beat out of them by their parents, homeless kids are sleeping in cars, unclean water is killing children all over the world.... but a lesbian in Podunk is cause for alarm. Unreal.

I hope some of these posts make their way to the Smithsonian one day - maybe alongside the dinosaur exhibits.

I'm sorry you seem to think that morality is based on being young.

Once again you seem to be avoiding the question I am asking.

Love Letter to a Lesbian by Jackie Hill - ChurchLeaders.com - Christian Leadership Blogs, Articles, Videos, How To's, and Free Resources
This woman says that the Bible knows better than what her heart tells her. She gives everything to that God, and deems herself to be sinful in falling in love with another woman, because that is what the Pharisees's book tells her. What a horrible thing. This is as far as I could read of it. ugh

"You see what God has to say about homosexuality, but your heart doesn’t utter the same sentiments. God’s word says it’s sinful; your heart says it feels right. God’s word says it’s abominable; your heart says it’s delightful. God’s word says it’s unnatural; your heart says it’s totally normal.
Do you see that there is a clear divide between what God’s word says and how your heart feels?
So which voice should you believe?"

God is love. Where there is love there is God also loving. You can be at one with God in your gay love for another. He loves and adores just as you do. It's natural.

You're right. He is also holy, just, and wrathful. All at the same time.

Completely false. To say that is spiritual malpractice.
