i was talking about in spark today... it didnt quite have that title, but hey, you let spark have an open discussion... hey presto your talking about homosexuality... anywho.. hope that puts no one off... its laid back etc... great fun... EVERYONE SHOULD GO!!!!!!!!! (hope im getting paid for that *less of the nonesense you think* ok ok!!!

so, can you have a Gay Christian, personally i think not... simply because its against our faith, and i dont think we should become so relaxed as to forget some of the laws God made for us.
then again is being gay wrong.. again.. i think we are becoming too relaxed as Christians, like i heard today that there was a gay youth leader, i saw that as wrong... (sorry Mrs X i will call you) surely someone who is commiting a sin should not be teaching others.. not for the fact that they are teaching, i see that that is great.. but that we can become relaxed.... we talked about where to draw the line... really im not too sure.. im sure i sound harsh on this topic, but its kinda been on me mind...

ok so we agreed gay bishops was too far... but why doesnt it make anyone who is a representative of the Christian faith not have the same treatment... and if not, is there too much pressure on bishops, and do we see them as more worthy than us?

alot of questions there, but i just want to know other people thoughts

:D

Its a hard one. My feelings are that if someone is homosexual and is a christian then they will no how much that god hates it and should do all in their power to stop the practise. Its kinda like what we all do when we know that there is something in our lives that God doesnt like. IT will be tough of course but I feel that it is wrong.

Simple answer.. Gay=Sin,
Sin=Death,
Jesus+Sin=Forgiveness+Christian
but Gay+Christian=Defiance to God+Christianity
:huh: *scratches head*

Nomatter which side of the severity graph you look at it, it is like Peter said, some of the less glamourous gifts are the more important ones and that every gift is important (body-part section in 01corinthians12). I know that's a bit vague as far as this thread goes but you get the idea of how and member of the army of God is still a representative. The lowest soilder is just as important to the army as the highest general, without eachother the army would fall apart. So if there was no soilders the army wouldn't be able to put up much of a fight and without generals the army would be running round like uneducated, un-ordered, headless chickens.

OK I'll stop there, I'm confusing myself :rolleyes:

its kinda of an odd q wen i tot bout it, cus its lik askin can u be an adulterer n a Christian, can u be a murderer n a Christian, can u be a lier an a Christian even??

Homosexuality is completely wrong, a hugemassive sin, jus lik adultery etc. so therefore such a person shud not b in a teachin position in Christian circles.

I supose sumone cud have homosexual feelings but if a Christian shud not act upon them!!!

Standards i think r droppin majorly thou...evrythin is accepted in Christian circles, n God's Word has got some pretty clear instruction bout crucifyin da flesh etc.

yea i agree with 'I supose sumone cud have homosexual feelings but if a Christian shud not act upon them!!!'

but you sorta touched on 'is all sin equal' there.. if you get me.... i don't think any sin is bigger than another.... but im sure people have different beliefs on that aswell=]...

Ive been thinking bout it and feel the need to stress that even though homosexuallity is wrong, and if you are a christian I believe that you should be doing all in your power to not act upon your feelings, we as Christians should still love those people, because Jesus would.

One of my cousins is homosexual, I hardly ever see them, but when I do, I dont treat them any differently that I treat any of my other cousins.

On the topic of big sins and little sin, I believe that all sin is sin no matter what it is and it is keeping us from God. I think it is in Luke's gospel where Jesus says that if you even hate someone it is as tho you killed them.

yea im not saying in anyway that we think we are in any way better than them... i just wanted to know if it was possible, now i think about it, it is..

because its like saying Can you sin and be a Christian?.. and that answer is yes... obviously... because we all sin..

um... i do believe there are people who have homosexual feelings but are still christians.. its just their thorn, their thing to battle through. but everyone slips and falls though. hey take comfort in the fact its not up to us to decide! its between them and God, His word is there and its their choice!
