  Western fainess demands that God does his job after we are done here. In fact ANY sense of JUSTICE demands this. Otherwise, there is no justice and there is no God.

  While we are here, Christians are mandated to love others not like themselves , and as far as humanely possible, get along with people and love them as we love ourselves.

  People like MASH will seek to mash anyone in their way unless confonted. They have little sense of fairness and seek destruction. People can no longer take Western notions of fairness for granted.

  Vivane,

  In Europe churches are starting to being forced to perform same sex unions in a Christian Church.

  It will be difficult to stop 'singling you out', you see homophobia is not really acceptable behaviour.

  MASH,

  Your ridicule is all you got. Your ridicule is meaningless, so bring it on. It would not matter one iota if you scream your ridicule at the top of your lungs. It will not stop the fact that homosexuality is condemned by God and that virtually NEVER in the history of the planet has ANY society married such unions. There is no record of even the Sodomites doing such a thing.

  I truly have compassion for anyone trapped in sexual sin. But the answer is not coddling them:

  "Have you not read, that

  He who created them from the beginning made them male and female

  , and said, 'For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh'? Consequently they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate." - Jesus

  ...He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction by reducing them to ashes, having made them an example to those who would live ungodly lives thereafter.... (2 Peter 2:6)

  The position is clear for Christians. It makes no difference what a smaller authority says Christians should or should not do. Christians expect to be singled out for their godliness.

  In The Criminalization of Christianity:

  The Talmud’s writings reveal that “before the Flood people started to write marriage contracts between men, in other words, homosexual ‘marriage,’ which is more than homosexual activity – it’s giving an official state stamp of approval, a sanctification … of homosexual partnership.”

  In fact, he said, “the writings indicated that it wasn’t even so much the ‘straw that broke the camel’s back,’ but that the sin in and of itself is so contrary to why God created the world, so contrary to the order of God’s nature, that God said then and there ‘I have to start all over … to annihilate the world and start from the beginning. …’”

  Rabbi Spero went on to say, “Even in ancient Greece they did not write marriage contracts between men. There was homosexuality, and it was wrong, but there was not an official ‘blessed’ policy. … Marriage is ‘sanctification’ (not simply a partnership).” He said to confer the title of sanctification and holiness upon this behavior is “probably one of the greatest sins of all that one does against God’s plan for this world.”

  The one time it happened was: “During the days of Noah.” When I first heard this, my mind immediately went to a verse I’ve heard many times but never with such relevance. The verse is found in Matthew 24:37. It reads:

  As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.

  In a related story; In Houston there is a recently unvoted upon city ordinance that allows perverted men who identify with women to legally enter womens restrooms. Houston's lesbian mayor wants to force others to her way of thinking.

  In response to the overthrow of the will of the people, critics organized and collected some 55,000 signatures to force either a repeal or a vote.

  The city secretary stopped counting at about 19,000, affirming that the threshold of some 17,000 signatures had been met. But the city attorney stepped in and imposed several requirements, which opponents said were not in the city charter, and then the city attorney threw out most of the signatures because they didn't have enough signatures! That is simply an outrageous contempt for the law and rights of others.... an identifying mark of anti-theists.

  In response, opponents filed suit. The city then issued subpoenas for the sermons of 5 area pastors, violating their free speech rights. The lesbian mayor is trying to bull-dog the citizens of Houston.

  I once made the mistake of adressing you Cofty. I asked you were did the DNA code language come from. You simply stated that there was no code. That was the last time I took you seriously. And so no, i don't think I can communicate with you.

  Apostate Christendom got to the point of selling "indulgences" before people woke up in the Reformation.

  The watchtower has been selling their various indulgences to biblically illiterate people, and people are waking up as well.

  I sure am about the lack of concern for global warming , all i can think of is that in 15 years when my grandchild is going to be a mom, and my son has kids, the world will be a disaster environmentally

  sowhatnow,

  I think your grandchildren will be OK as far as the weather is concerned. The earth has been cooling for 17 years now and the trend is expected to continue.

  Niemöller is perhaps best remembered for the quotation:

  First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
  Because I was not a Socialist.

  Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
  Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

  Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
  Because I was not a Jew.

  Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

  Perry,

  Many of the atheists are secretly believing in the existence of God and soul.

  Interesting post and link Ex Wt. There are several different kinds of atheists. The new atheists are actually anti-theists. Different atheists (the real ones) are pretty nice folks.
