Well one thing the modern versions need to be commended for, is the translation of arsenokoitēs in 1st cor 6-9 is definitely better than the kjv “abusers of themselves with mankind“, isn't the same especially in today’s world, as men who practice homosexuality ESV.
Of course they did not state those things about themselves. But are you trying to tell me that they do nothing wrong (treating people made in the image of God a second class citizens) do you forget the Jewish terrorists who blew up the King David hotel, or murdered British soldiers hanging them by piano wire. With regards to blessing, were was it during the 1900 years from ad70? were was it during the holocaust ?
"And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise."
We Christians are heirs of the promises to Abraham.
Did the Iranians ever state, that Jesus the Lord of Heaven was born to an Roman soldier ? Do their writings state that Jesus is in Hell ?
I can ! It is a double standard that’s why. The so called Nation of Israel are a Christ hating people just as much as the Iranians, infact the Iranians have a higher view of Christ than the Majority of those in Israel.
It is time Christians stop paying lip service to one little group in the middle east, and treated all nations alike, according to Justice and equity, not some warped view of scripture.
They cried out, "Away with him, away with him, crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar."
Regardless of this woman’s church affiliation, from what I can ascertain she has had a consistent pro-life stance which has been borne out in her own life with her 5th child who was diagnosed with down syndrome in the womb, and unlike 80-90% of such diagnoses she refused to have the child killed, against the advice of the doctors, so for this she must be commended. As far as her being a woman, I don't see the problem, she is not trying to become a leader in the church, this would be a problem. God did not have a problem uses Deborah.
“ Great Sermon! ” Amen! Great message! It is never "too late" to learn the true gospel, but I sure wish I could have heard good sovereign grace preaching like this 50 years ago!
“ Great Sermon! ” Amen! Hear this excellent sermon! This is the best message I have ever heard on the human will! The truths here are made very clear for all to hear and understand ...(proven with many good Bible verses)!
Yes we were physically assaulted(nothing we couldn’t handle, nothing serious), and had bibles and signs torn off us. Numbers of spectators was hard to gauge, as we were in a scrum, as we refused to stay behind the allotted fenced area for protestors, but I think it was safe to say there were more people in the parade than watched the parade. Also Belfast on a Saturday afternoon is a pretty busy place anyway without a poof parade.
Yes Joelly it is irrelevant, apart from the fact that society needs to see that it isn't just one denomination that has a problem with Sodom. I think the Homosexual and the media would like everyone to believe that it is only a fringe of the Christian church that is against this practice. Regards.
Just to let everyone know the large protest at city hall yesterday was not by Free Presbyterians, but was organised by reformed churches, and was attended by Reformed, Baptist, Pentecostal and many other Christian people from differing denominations.
