I speak with love and respect,with freedom of speech. But many social concerns bother me. Lots of people who go to church don't let the word of penetrates them. For instance, lots of who so called themselves "christians" "christian pastors and ministers" and those who called themselves "father or mother-priest".Many are gay, are they fooling themselves or the people, or, are they attempting to fool God. Don't they know no immorals will enter the kingdom of God,don't they read the bible.The word of God is pwrful, why aren't they changing, why do those who are gay that go to church still remain gay-that's immorality. I understand no one is perfect, God knows that, certain thing is beyond limit. Such as a gay person that goes to church is refusing oneslf to be changed. What do yu think about it?
I speak with respect, respect the decision of everyone, but it just that i believe certain things are being tolerated...people abusing certain concept of practing immorality..

Freedom of speech and respect/love are not synonymous-
Judge not unless you be judged-
From the sounds of it- you need to focus on trying to save your own soul., you have too much wrk to do to worry about anyone else

vuitton, maybe if your question was grammatically correct, people wouldn't think Christians are ignorant and don't know what they're talking about. I understand your question, but it was very confusing to read.
I believe many gay pastors (male or female) are not convicted of their immorality is because they aren't preaching from the Bible. Also some translations of the Bible dilute the powerful Word of God into meaningless ways to love each other. People don't preach the way Christ did.
I don't like the way people misunderstand what the Bible says. I know many sermons have addressed the sinful woman who the people wanted to stone and Jesus said, "He who is without sin, cast the first stone." People go off of this and say well you're not supposed to judge people if they sin, but forget to take into account what Jesus told the woman, he told her, "GO and SIN NO MORE."
We should be concerned with our spiritual life, not looking at others'. We don't have to go to a church where the pastor is lesbian.
The power is in the Word of God, not in the speaker. The devil could preach the word of God and souls would get saved, but if the pastor is living a sinful life he will be leading his flock astray.
Let's see, what else? um, I don't see how women can get around what the qualifications for a pastor are as stated in Titus 1:6. A pastor, or, "Elder" is to be the HUSBAND of ONE WIFE. You can't be a husband if you're a woman, and you can't have a wife that's a man. You'd have to pervert the scriptures to get away from this.

I do not believe that homosexuality is immoral. I believe that adultery is immoral. I believe that casual sex is immoral, I believe that prostitution, being a porn star, stripper, drug abuse, recreational drugs, theivery, murdering, etc are all immoral, and all far larger problems in society that homosexuality.
While 10% of the US population at most is homosexual, and not even 10% actively engaging in homosexual act, the other 90% are busy sinning their pants off, literally if we believe "Sex in the City"
So why is it that you are focused on a bee when you're in the middle of a bee hive?
Church is not a place for those without fault, it IS a place for sinners...according to your religion.
Let's take Ted Haggared for example. This is a man who struggled with homosexual feelings apparently. Feelings which he has probably had for a while. Trying to be a good upstanding christian, he pretended they didn't exist and got married and had a family. You see, he was TRYING not to be gay. He eventually gave in to his feelings.
Supposedly he has been through counceling and is 100% heterosexual. I'm not sure if I believe that but whatever.
The point is, you really need to study the bible more and learn what it really says and what being christian is really all about.You also need to learn more about gays.

There is nothing "immoral" with being exactly as God made you, whether that is LGBT or straight.
What IS immoral is preaching anti-LGBT hatred, bigotry, discrimination and therefore violence.
What IS immortal is attacking children of God in a public forum for being exactly as they were made.
Who are such bigots to denigrate and defame any of God's children or any of God's gifts?
We are praying that such hypocrites will once again return to being true Christians and the teachings of Jesus - for a change.

easily it sounds more beneficial like that's YOU who would not understand the concept of Christianity, or a minimum of you do not realize the basics including "choose no longer lest ye be judged" and "enable he who's without sin forged the first stone".. you note, there are distinct interpretations of the Bible and not in any respect easily one of them may be truthfully be shown as being the certainly "maximum superb" interpretation. There are those who do no longer interpret the Bible as having some thing to assert on the certainly difficulty of homosexuality. in spite of your interpretation, their conception is each bit as valid as your human being. by ability of declaring what you've faith to be wrongdoing, you're JUDGING them, some thing it truly is forbidden. until eventually you experience that you're above that scripture, you may do nicely to save your beliefs besides as you likely can and allow others to do a similar.
