I will continue to pray and enjoy Jens music. Much of her music is about struggle. May we find it in our hearts to deal with our own sins as we help those to deal with theirs by finding answers in the word together. We can seek but will not find those answers by pointing out those sins. Our God knows what his word says,our opinion and knowledge of the word concerning that person does not matter and is not our buisness unless we aim to give him glory and not ourselves. How can we help not harm?
1 Timothy 4:1 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 1John 2:19They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us.All homosexuals repent and believe.
lust is a sin. And the story of sodom and gommorah was a hella lot more perverse than being gay. The children were crying to God. The city's men were harassing the angels for sex that came to the town. That is different than being in a same-sex relationship, however God did create us to balance one another and to be fruitful. We can learn a lot about God by honoring one another in marriage as God defined it.
Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
Nope ,same sex marriage will cause people to go to Hell, likewise for those who agree with their sin.
@CBALLEN the beatitudes will explain to you what you need to know...if you get to heaven it will probably cuz you'll be seriously be living up to the way you preach the letter and not the gospel. If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off! Listen and understand!
@mtiff1 Just keep on believing that wanton sin is just ALRIGHT with God.Homosexuals don't need us to agree with them in their sin,we are to warn them of the judgment to come,that's the most loving thing a Christian can do for them.
@mtiff1 Ezekiel 3:20 "Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and does evil, and I put a stumbling block before him, he will die. Since you did not warn him, he will die for his sin. The righteous things he did will not be remembered, and I will hold you accountable for his blood.
I think...if you can wake up in the morning and go about your daily life normally and sleep soundly each night...and still think it is ok to be in a same-sex relationship and be able to say very assuredly to yourself and most importantly to God, "It is well with my soul"...then there is nothing more anyone can say.
Because in the end, on Judgment Day, everyone is to give an account of their lives to God. No one else should judge you...but just rem you should love God above all else. That's all
@channe77 I think...if you can wake up in the morning and go about your daily life normally and sleep soundly each night...and still think it is ok to be in a same-sex relationship and be able to say very assuredly to yourself and most importantly to God, "It is well with my soul"...then there is nothing more anyone can say.
Is 5:20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for .darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
@channe77 24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator,...
26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another,....
WEALL SIN...its an everyday struggle.To not would mean we are perfect. So if we are saying that jen is a sinner,then I guess she is in good company. I do not support the gay lifestyle buut nor will I judge anothers sin. Bless you Jenifer. I continue to listen to your music. It has blessed my life. Thank you!
@1msbucket The Bible speaks of living a life of premeditated sin,as one who does not follow Christ,but if someone is living in abomination, that's defiantly practicing premeditating sin,and those do not have Christ.
@CBALLEN Christ also spoke of showing mercy. I do not encourage sinful behaivior. I think we are to leave Jen, as well as anyone who may be struggling, to the Lord. It is a fine line to speak of anothers in sin. We need to look at our own. I do feel many of us DO know we are sinning but find ways to justify. Perhaps would could better serve our God and help Jen by praying Gods will into her life and that she is able to see what is written. I have knowingly sinned & been forgiven. Amen!
@1ms We are not to look at them as enemies,but WARN them . 2thess.3:15Do not regard him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.
We are not to call evil good either, as so many, so called "christians" do,. We are supposed to JUDGE professing believers by their fruit.Many homosexuals claim that God does not mind them being homosexuals,itf that were true,it would not be a judgment on the unGodly as reported in Romans 1.I'm afraid that those who become homosexuals have reprobated by God Himself.
@1msbucket Matthew 7:17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
@CBALLEN thank -you for sharing scripture. It is good to share with those who we feel may be straying from the word, but the that alone does not help our fellow Christians to turn it around. Listening,time and understanding along with prayer aid in their return to Christ. They are not hopeless. We as Christains Know Gods word. but often fail to apply it to own lives. Is it not possible to model our Lord KNOWING his word in our heart without quoting scripture verbatim? No one wants a lecture.
@CBALLEN no argument there, he sure did say that. I have also said repent and believe, to myself as I look in the mirror. God bless you for your faith! May you rememembr these words as you go on your way through life and should find yourself sinning. God is good is he not? :) His mercy is new everyday!!
@CBALLEN first of all the scriptures do not say she was a prostitue and formost Jesus said neither do I condemn you, then He said go and sin no more. A lack of condemnation and an abundance of grace will with truth in LOVE will set anyone free to go and sin no more. Let me say this we are called to love our fellow man, we are the only Jesus they will see. What kind of Jesus are you mean and unforgiving or the kind that restores a person who is made in God's image!
@sgrinolds Would you explain to a homosexual who claims to be a Christian that you can have no more fellowship with them while they are in their sin,as the Bible commands?
@sgrinolds What would you say to a Christian who is a zooiphile and continues to have sex with his German shepherd, and sees nothing wrong with,what would you tell them .
So, old testament sexual immorality includes homosexual acts, and Jesus said that a heart harboring sexual immorality makes a man unclean.
That's a stretch. You're including homosexuals by connecting two passages that use a similar general category, but in different books, different times, different original languages.
I've seen amateur exegesis come up with absurdities galore by the same questionable method.
God put this song in my heart. then i got on yt looking for this version and tried every other link. i got so frustrated i said 'ok, this is the last one im clicking on.' and that one just happened to have this one in the related videos. i felt led to click on it and sure enough- it was what i had been looking for. idk how God feels about people how love differently, but i know He led me to this song. x
"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye."
18 But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these make a man unclean. 19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.
-In light of the fact that there are clear principals of exegesis which emphasize the role of theme& context, it's shocking you insist on this. It's clear from the words of the Lord Jesus HImself that the creation order was & is the uniting of man & female- that it is sinful & ungodly to agitate otherwise.This theme is established in the genesis account of the male/female relationship and later re- inforced by Jesus who also condemns divorce. Nowhere are men EVER called 'Echad'
@Scott6113 Let us not also forget, Romans 2:1-3 ESV
Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things. Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God?
@Scott6113 That chapter means you cant judge someone of the same sin your committing in your own life.
In Genesis Almighty God set forth marriage as being a man & woman - God created ppl male & female. God also destroyed Sodom & Gomorrah for its homosexuality & wickedness. Not even 10 righteous ppl could be found. Even in the book of Revelation it states that those who continue in sin = lies, homosexuality, etc will not enter heaven.
One dude,she is NOT homosexual,lesbian or whatever.
Secondly this is what Jesus said about homosexuality:
Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God?Do not be decived:Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitues nor homosexual affenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkerds nor slanderers nor swindelers will inherit the kingdom of God.
What you all talking about? A sexual relationship between two women is more beautiful than a union between a man and a woman who think a god actually exists.
Clear-cut to Christians like yourself who stand at the ready to condemn. If you are referring verses in the New Testament, every single statement made about homosexuality originated from Paul alone (Romans 1:26-32, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, 1 Timothy 1:10 ). It's funny to me that all this Christian "chastisement" of the LGBT community--historically ranging from harassment to violence--is based on the words of neither Jesus nor his disciples.
@spaghetticat87 Leviticus 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
This is a beautiful rendition of a beautiful hymn. That's really all you should focus on. Focusing on whether or not it's Jennifer Knapp (which it is) or whether or not she has the 'right' to sing Christian music as an out lesbian is pointless. She (And Audio Adreneline I believe...might be wrong on the band w/ her in this song) are singing praise to God.
@bojabill You're correct that God is the great judge of all things. The Scripture also makes it clear that He is the *only* one who can rightfully fill that role, due to His perfection and infinite wisdom. Kindly refrain from putting yourself in His chair.
@spaghetticat87 Corinthians 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man (OR WOMAN) that is called a brother (OR SISTER) be a FORNICATOR, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
13 But them that are without God judgeth. THEREFORE PUT AWAY FROM AMONG YOURSELVES THAT WICKED PERSON.
@spaghetticat87 Do you think you will be able to play Madonna & Katie Perry, or whoever else's songs that promote sexual immorality, lesbianism, Kabbalism etc., in the lake of fire? Because that will be your reward for activity in such things, unless of course you repent. Yeshua came to set you free from the ties that bind, (Lesbianism, promiscuity, homo-sexuality are tools of the devil) he came to give you eternal life, not to wallow in the same mud that His precious blood cleansed you of!
@cvgsusfreak08@cvgsusfreak08 You are saying that all sin is justified because some are not followed? Really? I suppose that murder, stealing, molestation, rape, fornication, homosexuality, lying, and everything that is considered wrong in the eyes of God is now right! What a revolutionary belief. C: Cheers. I'll stick to believing that sin is sin no matter how you and others spin it and believe that God does not want me to sin and that I shouldn't cause others to sin. Cheers.
@cvgsusfreak08 That argument "try reading a bible" doesn't stand for either side since it's obvious that we both have clearly different perceptions despite reading the same words. I used your logic. If we are to dismiss all laws because some are kept that is similar to believing that all sin is justified because some are not seen as sin. We might be reading the same words but are clearly comprehending different things. That is what it boils down to. cheers C:
@cvgsusfreak08 Umm.......yes...homosexuality is a sin. Old KJV, NIV, NAS, New KJV they all say the same thing. The point is....ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Everyone of us need Him and the sacrifice He made for us. I am a Christian saved by the blood. My standing in Christ is forgiven....my state is fleshly......Paul says it best I think..... he struggled daily in His walk. We should be praying for Jen. If we are believers...we pray and trust God to finish what he started.
@SufferingD ummmm. jesus himself never said anything about homosexuality. only mere men like jerimiah and james did. and jesus was more than a man. besides its not like we have a chioce to be gay. we were born this way. why would father make us ths way? its even been genetically proven. why would we choose to suffer?
@lezzielet00 but you forget wat ever that is in the bible was gods choice, not mans. it was god who told them to put wat they said in there, there by making it his rule. and being gay is a full borne choice not genetic not born with its a choice, dont get off on this crap about no free will on the matter its a CHOICE nothing more nothing less.
@SufferingD But you're better because you aren't a dirty homo right? You claim "everyone is a sinner", but there are only certain "sins" that you kick out of your church and abandon. Christianity turns its back on homosexuals, then wonders why they don't "convert" or "repent". Who would want to? When you tell them that the very person they are is wrong. Do you even know any gay people? Have you ever known someone who has tried NOT to be gay? It's extremely sad.
@arielgirl first i know several gay's, seconed the church does not shun them they openly invite them to come in, but yes homosexuality is wrong and a sin thats why the church does not like it. And i am no better than anyone person in this world murderer or kid doing petty theft its all the same in gods eyes because it is all sin, there for i am not better than anyone i am not higher than anyone i never have been and never will be.
@arielgirl Churches don't turn their backs on gay people. At least mine doesn't. You can't talk about all churches is you haven't visited all churches. And I actually do know a gay person. One of my best friends. Do I agree with him? No. Do I tell him he shouldn't be who he is? No. And she never said she was better. Ever. And as for @lezzielet00, no one is born that way. I've never heard of it being proved to be genetic, just atheist scientists trying to prove that it is. It's a choice.
@emasters7 I didn't choose. I believe everyone is born straight. It's just natural for a human to be attracted to the opposite sex. Most people who are gay, make the choice to be gay at a later age. I've never met a 7 year old who was interested in the same sex. Sorry.
@cvgsusfreak08. cont.. However, it was used metaphorically in a negative way to refer to a catamite (a boy kept for sexual relations with a man) or to a male prostitute in general. The word translated here as "homosexual offender" is the Greek word arsenokoites which means a sodomite, a person who engages in any kind of unnatural sex, but especially homosexual intercourse. Some believe this use of arsenokoites referred specifically to the men who kept catamites, but that is not certain
@cvgsusfreak08 . cont ... This verse has been translated in as many different ways as there are different versions of the Bible, so we have to look at the original Greek to see what Paul was really saying. According to Thayer's Greek Lexicon, the word translated here as "male prostitute" is the Greek word malakos which literally means "soft to the touch."
@cvgsusfreak08 . Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. (1 Cor 6:9-11)
Hebrews 10: 26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins.
Sexual sin, often referred to in the Bible as 'fornication' is sin.
1 Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind.
@spaghetticat87 You're right. Only God can judge the heart of a person. However there's much emphasis that everything lines up less we be judged by others-Christian and not. The Bible is fairly clear cut (whether you like it or not is another point entirely) about certain issues such as homosexuality, fornication etc. While God is certainly the supreme judge, there are certainly those that he uses to bring about discernment, advice, chastisement (think for instance grandmas, parents, etc).
@cvgsusfreak08 We make it complicated because does anyone like being in the wrong? Nope never. I certainly didn't like being chastised by my grandmother when in the wrong. But it was right for her to do that. Basically it's like this: sin is sin is sin, if we professing Christians are caught sinning then we are going to get chastised by non Christians and Christians alike. C: It really could not be any more complicated than that.
@spaghetticat87 I have other post here so one can go back to things I commented on, but I pretty much agree with you. I would,as a Christian like to see more discussion with those we feel are not following Gods word rather than the scripture being thrown around. Loving one another is not that easy. Sitting down to find answers using the Bible and walking through it accomplishes more of what our God desires. It is sad to see Christians say "the Bible says" then offer no more than that.
Actually this song is by Audio Adrenaline, it was on their 1999 record Underdog featuring miss Knapp. Great version though, both Mark and Jennifer sings great. Priceless:)
*Reads the comments, shakes her head sadly, and sighs* Alright, Christians, I have a question for you. Your biggest defense for your ignorant and bigoted statements is "Because the Bible says so". So, answer me this: What the hell does it matter what it says in the fucking Bible? So what if the Bible is the most popular fiction book (Yes, you read that correctly, I typed FICTION) in the world? That doesn't make it a valid defense for the fact that you're clearly an idiot.
Whether or not you think Religion is a sin, you hold to FUNDAMENTAL beliefs, Rachel. I am not trying to attack you, but I am a Christian. This fundamental Christianity you speak of is moralistic, fake and close-minded. This is not scripture or what Christanity stands for. The Gospel is what I believe saves. The saving work of Christ alone, apart from any "fundamental" moral actions. My works are nothing apart from Christ's perfect work on the cross.
Well then, don't you think the video should be titled appropriately? I do stand corrected, because I didn't listen to the song all the way through. I heard the beginning and was annoyed with the person "bloodhive" who commented "sounds like a man."
People who look up Jennifer Knapp on YouTube for the first time and happen to click on this video are being mislead into thinking that the song is being sung my Jennifer Knapp, and not Mark Stuart of Audio Adrenaline. Thus, "sounds like a man."
This is definitely Jennifer Knapp. Just saw her last Thursday, great show. Sweet communion to sit amongst my sisters, not have to say anything, and to understand the shared experience. Amazing!
@lisalpage Do you and your sisters lick each others pussies, clits, and assholes? I'm guessing the answer is "YES! DEFINTELY!" because you sound like a big fat, butch diesel dyke.
She's singing the backup vocals in the chorus, I know because I have Audio Adrenaline's album "Underdog" and this song is on it and it says 'featuring Jennifer Knapp.'
Thank God that when he looks on us all at the day of judgement, through all we've done while in our sinful lives, all He sees is the pure, sanctifying blood of His Son, Jesus Christ!
Thank God that when he looks on us all at the day of judgement, through all we've done while in our sinful lives, all He sees is the pure, sanctifying blood of His Son, Jesus Christ!
please jennifer, stop perverting the gospel message and get your life straightened up. The power of Christ is able to free you from these sins...I know, I have experienced it myslef.
@bojabill Yes, please clean up your life like this upstanding Christian person has. Maybe then, just maybe, you'll impress God. Like bojabill, here. I'm sure He's VERY impressed with bojabill. Doesn't it say in the Bible somewhere that condemning people on Youtube is next to Godliness? ...tool.
@rascalkc well if someone commits a murder, don't you call them a murderer? If someone lies, don't you call them a liar? I'm not trying to be self-righteous when I say that she is living a life that is incompatible with the christian message--I'm telling how it is. I'm not going to still idle and say "GOd will accept everybody and anything they do." Thats just wrong. He will accept you when you come to HIS terms. Please have a nice day and understand that God not only loves, he judges as well.
@bojabill didn't CHRIST die for us while we were still sinners? so wouldn't that mean He accept us? What if GOD Judged in a way you didn't understand, and what if GOD Judges the sin not the sinner
This lady shouldn't attempt to justify homosexuality or encourage others to. That being said she has a beautiful voice. The 6th verse of Psalm #150"Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord." To God be all the glory. We all answer to God. So before you cast the homosexual into hell,remember all sex is sinful when not between a man and woman who are married to each other. In a country where sexual sin is off the hook and sex sells everything. Lord,grant us mercy and wisdom to change!!!
@bajojohn apparently you don't read the bible or you are ignorant. Homosexuals and the sexually immoral will be cast into the hell of fire. Read revelation or the old testament. Disagree with the scripture but don't be ignorant please!
@bojabill 1 Corinthians 6:9 says that immoral people will not "inherit the kingdom of God." You are probably thinking about Leviticus 18:22 when it says a man "shall not lie with a man like a woman." This is your clearest prohibition, but there is no mention of hell. If you want to debate word usage or doctrinal development we can. Please don't accuse me of being ignorant. The message of the Bible is God moving and redeeming God's creation, not one looking to dish out punishments.
"God is love," Scripture tells us, and it's true. The problem comes in that "love" has been redefined in our pop culture to center around mere emotions. More specifically it's often used as a euphemism for sex; as in, "Don't tell me who to love" or "judging someone based on who they love," etc. But God's love (Greek word "agape") is the highest form of love. How can someone love God if they do not trust what He says in His Word, the Bible? And the Bible DOES matter -- it tells us of Jesus.
My personal conviction: Religion is a sin. As such I am thrilled for Jennifer Knapp that she is not longer going to be led astray BY THE CHURCH. She is now free to live her life as the person she always was and not be forced into living in shame and living a lie by the delusional, brain-washed, forever-in-denial fundamentalist Christian church.
For those of you who claim to be Christians and are criticizing Jennifer for "coming out," SHAME ON YOU! Jesus gave us an example of loving people no matter who they are, what they do, or what they believe. If Jesus were alive today, he would certainly be hanging out with the gay community. And you (criticizers) would be the puppeteers orchestrating his death. If you want to bash gays, find another god and find another religion.
@bajojohn What you have to understand is that Jennifer is a Christian, she knows what is right and wrong. If Jesus was here He would hang out with the gay community but with the intent of saving them. Those who know the truth but act otherwise will receive a greater condemnation. Why do you think John the Baptist acted harshly with the pharisees and Sadducees? Because they knew the law, the truth, but did not follow it and repent from their ways.
@karahasen I have to disagree with you about Jesus' intent. While his work was/is ultimately salvific, his actions were motivated by love and as such nonjudgemental. The only people who were threatened with hell/judgement were the Pharisees and Sadducees. The teachers of the law could not see the forrest for the trees so to speak. The Pharisees would "devour widows" in the name of righteousness. Jesus says the most important laws are to love God and love neighbor.
@karahasen cont. It is clear from the gospel readings that we can't love God without loving our neighbor. John the Baptist was harsh with the Pharisees because they taught people to value their religious ideals of righteousness rather than valuing God and humans. I posit that many Christians today are Pharisees rather than disciples. When it comes down to it, we are all sinners and it is God's grace alone that saves us. Christians are not called to be judges, we are called to be healers.
@karahasen cont. Jennifer needs a safe place to discover who she is and how God plays into that. The church should be that safe place. I'm not entirely convinced that being gay is good, but I'm not convinced of the opposite. I do know that Jennifer is hurt and needs a place to heal and she doesn't feel like she can find peace, rest, and healing in the church. That is sad.
Jennifer Knapp did a very brave thing coming out in this community - to stand up for herself and her religion. Integrity and love are the cornerstone of everything.
Standing up for her religion? She is standing up for herself and her own desires. At some point in history that actually became "courageous"; self indulgence as the ultimate virtue.
I am here with my gay lover Califacience to spread the word of Christ, & ask everyone, including straight Xtians, to truly become one with God by becoming a Gay Xtian. It is our duty to convert u. Xtian Gays are the strongest Xtians, & will one day take over the ministry of Jesus. Being gay is a spiritual blessing. It puts one closer to God. Like Christ our savior, we experience persecution & discrimination, & it only makes us stronger. God is on our side, & anyone who is not shall go to hell.
This is some of the crappiest lezbo music I've ever heard. Maybe Melissa Etheridge or Ellen DeGeneres would like it, but I think it's crap. Oh wait, Melissa and Ellen wouldn't like this song, they would just like the singer's vagina.
This is a great song, I have requested it on our local radio station so everyone can enjoy it. Now that Jennifer is back making music maybe her and AudioA Talks could get together. It would be great.
It's really a nice version of Audio A... and yeah they collaborated with Jen Knapp but I just wish they did another set of recording for this one (the Collaboration, I mean) because Jen's voice sounded like she's just singing along while listening to the record( got it?) and not like she's a part of the recording... oh well I really love both of this guys but Jennifer really made the big difference in my life with her music... God Bless her wherever she is...
You know, this song is among the oldest in my library, yet I never get tired of listening to it and admiring the courage and faith it took to pen this song when most people I know, including myself, probably would have lost faith long ago. We get so caught up and distracted by little things, and this man was able to say "It is well" after losing his daughters. Makes you think.
if you like this version,,as I. You will ALL love the 4HIM version,,check it out,,you will absolutely love the devoted heart felt life breathed into this version. REemember that this song came from way back, when a man lost his wife and chil tragecly. GOD the Soul that moves with these words.Praise YOU Jesus!!
GOD in mercy sent His Son To a world by sin undone; Jesus Christ was crucified --- 'Twas for sinners Jesus died. Oh! the glory of the grace, Shining in the Saviour's face, Telling sinners from above, "God is Light" and "God is Love." All who in His name believe, Everlasting life receive; Lord of all is Jesus now; Every knee to Him must bow.
you have two weapons: 1) prayer, and 2) patience. Let me ask you a question: what is your favorite sin ? Now, go read Matthew chapter 7 ...

I will continue to pray and enjoy Jens music. Much of her music is about struggle. May we find it in our hearts to deal with our own sins as we help those to deal with theirs by finding answers in the word together. We can seek but will not find those answers by pointing out those sins. Our God knows what his word says,our opinion and knowledge of the word concerning that person does not matter and is not our buisness unless we aim to give him glory and not ourselves. How can we help not harm?

Nope ,same sex marriage will cause people to go to Hell, likewise for those who agree with their sin.

I think...if you can wake up in the morning and go about your daily life normally and sleep soundly each night...and still think it is ok to be in a same-sex relationship and be able to say very assuredly to yourself and most importantly to God, "It is well with my soul"...then there is nothing more anyone can say.
Because in the end, on Judgment Day, everyone is to give an account of their lives to God. No one else should judge you...but just rem you should love God above all else. That's all

So, old testament sexual immorality includes homosexual acts, and Jesus said that a heart harboring sexual immorality makes a man unclean.
That's a stretch. You're including homosexuals by connecting two passages that use a similar general category, but in different books, different times, different original languages.
I've seen amateur exegesis come up with absurdities galore by the same questionable method.

-In light of the fact that there are clear principals of exegesis which emphasize the role of theme& context, it's shocking you insist on this. It's clear from the words of the Lord Jesus HImself that the creation order was & is the uniting of man & female- that it is sinful & ungodly to agitate otherwise.This theme is established in the genesis account of the male/female relationship and later re- inforced by Jesus who also condemns divorce.

Clear-cut to Christians like yourself who stand at the ready to condemn. If you are referring verses in the New Testament, every single statement made about homosexuality originated from Paul alone (Romans 1:26-32, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, 1 Timothy 1:10 ). It's funny to me that all this Christian "chastisement" of the LGBT community--historically ranging from harassment to violence--is based on the words of neither Jesus nor his disciples.

@cvgsusfreak08. cont.. However, it was used metaphorically in a negative way to refer to a catamite (a boy kept for sexual relations with a man) or to a male prostitute in general. The word translated here as "homosexual offender" is the Greek word arsenokoites which means a sodomite, a person who engages in any kind of unnatural sex, but especially homosexual intercourse. Some believe this use of arsenokoites referred specifically to the men who kept catamites, but that is not certain

This verse has been translated in as many different ways as there are different versions of the Bible, so we have to look at the original Greek to see what Paul was really saying.

@spaghetticat87 You're right. Only God can judge the heart of a person. However there's much emphasis that everything lines up less we be judged by others-Christian and not. The Bible is fairly clear cut (whether you like it or not is another point entirely) about certain issues such as homosexuality, fornication etc. While God is certainly the supreme judge, there are certainly those that he uses to bring about discernment, advice, chastisement (think for instance grandmas, parents, etc).

Sitting down to find answers using the Bible and walking through it accomplishes more of what our God desires. It is sad to see Christians say "the Bible says" then offer no more than that.

"God is love," Scripture tells us, and it's true. The problem comes in that "love" has been redefined in our pop culture to center around mere emotions. More specifically it's often used as a euphemism for sex; as in, "Don't tell me who to love" or "judging someone based on who they love," etc. But God's love (Greek word "agape") is the highest form of love. How can someone love God if they do not trust what He says in His Word, the Bible? And the Bible DOES matter -- it tells us of Jesus.

And you (criticizers) would be the puppeteers orchestrating his death. If you want to bash gays, find another god and find another religion.

@bajojohn What you have to understand is that Jennifer is a Christian, she knows what is right and wrong. If Jesus was here He would hang out with the gay community but with the intent of saving them. Those who know the truth but act otherwise will receive a greater condemnation. Why do you think John the Baptist acted harshly with the pharisees and Sadducees? Because they knew the law, the truth, but did not follow it and repent from their ways.

@karahasen I have to disagree with you about Jesus' intent. While his work was/is ultimately salvific, his actions were motivated by love and as such nonjudgemental. The only people who were threatened with hell/judgement were the Pharisees and Sadducees. The teachers of the law could not see the forrest for the trees so to speak. The Pharisees would "devour widows" in the name of righteousness. Jesus says the most important laws are to love God and love neighbor.

@karahasen cont. It is clear from the gospel readings that we can't love God without loving our neighbor. John the Baptist was harsh with the Pharisees because they taught people to value their religious ideals of righteousness rather than valuing God and humans. I posit that many Christians today are Pharisees rather than disciples. When it comes down to it, we are all sinners and it is God's grace alone that saves us. Christians are not called to be judges, we are called to be healers.

@karahasen cont. Jennifer needs a safe place to discover who she is and how God plays into that. The church should be that safe place. I'm not entirely convinced that being gay is good, but I'm not convinced of the opposite. I do know that Jennifer is hurt and needs a place to heal and she doesn't feel like she can find peace, rest, and healing in the church. That is sad.

Jennifer Knapp did a very brave thing coming out in this community - to stand up for herself and her religion. Integrity and love are the cornerstone of everything.

@Nurekia
Standing up for her religion? She is standing up for herself and her own desires. At some point in history that actually became "courageous"; self indulgence as the ultimate virtue.
I didn't know it was a virtue at all.

I am here with my gay lover Califacience to spread the word of Christ, & ask everyone, including straight Xtians, to truly become one with God by becoming a Gay Xtian. It is our duty to convert u. Xtian Gays are the strongest Xtians, & will one day take over the ministry of Jesus. Being gay is a spiritual blessing. It puts one closer to God. Like Christ our savior, we experience persecution & discrimination, & it only makes us stronger. God is on our side, & anyone who is not shall go to hell.

This is some of the crappiest lezbo music I've ever heard. Maybe Melissa Etheridge or Ellen DeGeneres would like it, but I think it's crap. Oh wait, Melissa and Ellen wouldn't like this song, they would just like the singer's vagina.

It's really a nice version of Audio A... and yeah they collaborated with Jen Knapp but I just wish they did another set of recording for this one (the Collaboration, I mean) because Jen's voice sounded like she's just singing along while listening to the record( got it?) and not like she's a part of the recording... oh well I really love both of this guys but Jennifer really made the big difference in my life with her music... God Bless her wherever she is...

You know, this song is among the oldest in my library, yet I never get tired of listening to it and admiring the courage and faith it took to pen this song when most people I know, including myself, probably would have lost faith long ago. We get so caught up and distracted by little things, and this man was able to say "It is well" after losing his daughters. Makes you think.
