If you consider winning souls the main goal for the gospel, then according to christian theology, in the end, God loses by soul count, right?

Also, wouldn't he be a sore loser by eternally torementing (according to mainstream theology) the souls that did not convert?

I find that people that don't always agree with me, but are willing to have a discussion the best.

Sometimes I get into more disagreements with people of my faith.

I'm curious as to how you feel about the recent insurgence of anti-gay politics by some of the mainstream churches.

I personally am gay and I just find it to be very frusterating that the politicians are always pitting us against Christians.
I fully support a persons right to practice whatever faith they believe in.
But it seems like there can be no harmony with gays and Christians because it doesn't charge an electoral debate.

Your thoughts?

PS - if you are thinking about quoting something from Sodom and Gamorrah, we have all heard it before and it is not likely to win you a best answer but do what ye will....

You'd have to be retarded to believe Haggard.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Embattled evangelist Ted Haggard admitted on Friday to buying the drug methamphetamine and seeking a massage from a gay male prostitute but denied he had sex with the man or used the stimulant.

Haggard, a vocal opponent of gay marriage, resigned as president of the National Association of Evangelicals on Thursday after being accused by a male escort of having had a sexual relationship with him and using meth.

"I did call him. I called him to buy some meth. But I threw it away. I was buying it for me but I never used it," Haggard, who looked uneasy as he sat in a car with his wife, said in an interview with KUSA TV in Colorado broadcast on CNN.

Asked if he had sex with his accuser, he replied tersely, "No I did not." He said he had sought the man out at a Denver hotel for a "massage."

Haggard said he stayed at a number of hotels in Denver because he went to the city to write

you hear about this discrimination, atheists tell of it and Christians from the north also, but really this is an imbedded habit that southern Christians should address, unless they think it is a good idea. We expect moderate Muslims to oppose their terrorists right???

I am a Catholic who has a strong faith and belief system. I believe in the love and presence of God. (open minded to other beliefs too). I am also a lesbian - it has taken me a while to reconcile these two things, especially since so many answers in the LBGT section of this site (for example) have such nasty and negative answers from self-proclaimed Christians. I just wanted to know if there are other LBGT Christians out there and what they may have gone through. Also, this part is not a question, but I wanted to add that not all Christians are homophobes and it makes me so sad to see such negative comments from self-proclaimed Christians. Jesus said to love your neighbor people, not ask them about their sexual orientation and if you agree with it, then love them! So, recap, question is are you out there and what have you gone through?

It seems some people actually thing the world is flat and not round. Even though people have gone to the moon on space shuttle missions and can view the earth. So who here believes the earth is round or flat?

First off, why is this world so corrupt? I know its because they're without Jesus, but, I can't explain it. See, people these days worry about the smallest things. Think about a stain on a woman's shirt at a party. She would go crazy with fear of someone spotting it. Why? Think about it, it's simply a spot on the clothing of a being. God does not care whats on the outside, and we shouldn't either. Or even like two teenagers dating. All that teenagers and some adults think about these days is getting the girl or boy, seeing to the needs of the teen girl or boyfriend. It does not matter. As long as you get a wife or husband(with no adultery) and have a Godly relationship and have children in the name of the Lord, thats all that must happen. Folks, we're letting our children date to early these days, and all that is doing is introducing them to lust in the devils name. But this is not my main point, for I can see alot of the worry of Americans in other stupid areas, that dont even matter.

There is a girl that I really like. She goes to my college. I think that she might be bi but I am not sure. She knows that I am a lesbian and she is ok with it. I asked her if she was gay and she didn't give me a direct answer. She has a boyfriend right now and I always tell her she should dump him. She says she would not dump him till I found someone to take his place cause she dosen't want to be lonely. She knows that I have a crush but she dosen't know that it is her(or acts like she dosen't know). My roommate knows that I like the girl and the last few times I invited her over to my dorm room, my roommate would lightly hint to the girl that I liked her. Also when I invite her over, she is always talking to him on the phone and I will tell her to hang up. She notices that I only tell her to hang up the phone when it's him. Should I tell her that I like her? Do yall think she is bi? What should I say to break the ice and find out if she is bi and if she would be interested in me?

I can't understand why the biggest proponents of "moral law" in this country are constantly being found out to be just as homosexual as the people they rally against.

Meanwhile, most happily married couples are very supportive of gay rights....

What is with this strange dicotomy?

(I'm looking for thoughtful, serious, speculation here)
