NO MAN CAN GET YOU INTO HEAVEN SO STOP ACTIN LIKE YOU WORK AT THE TICKET COUNTER. THATS SOME STRAIGHT FOOLERY. THE BIBLE IS A COLLECTION OF BOOKS WRITTEN BY DIFFERENT AUTHORS OVER 1500YRS. ALL INSPIRED BY GOD. THE EQUIVALENT OF TAKING JIMMY SWAGGART, EDDIE LONG AND JOEL OLSTEEN AND TELL ALL OF THEM TO WRITE A BOOK SINCE THEY'RE INSPIRED BY GOD.I DARE ANYONE TO SAY THAT THE BOOKS WOULD BE UNBIASED. BACK THEN NOONE CHALLENGED A MANS INTEGRITY SO WHO KNOWS WHAT SCANDALS THOSE AUTHORS COMMITTED

@TheSanctifiedSoldier TEACH! 

[TheSanctifiedSoldier]

This conversation is about the rights of Homosexuals but what about GOD's rights to be obeyed? What about GOD's desire for ALL his children to be REDEEMED by the Blood of the LAMB? What about the SACRIFICE OF GOD THE FATHER AND HIS SON JESUS CHRIST

DON'T WE OWE GOD (NOT RELIGION)

BUT GOD NOTHING BUT TO LOVE HIM 1ST?

AND HOW DO WE LOVE HIM BELOW OUR SEXUAL PROCLIVITIES?

How do we as human beings, put GOD second to our FLESH?

I mean, leave the church out of it...PUT GOD 1st, what says HE?

[TheSanctifiedSoldier]

Can we examine something...To be Christ-like is what we have come to consider being Christian, right? Well according to scripture and most history, Jesus was not sexually active...gay or straight...Jesus also did not eat pork...so...

If we are truly inspired to FOLLOW Christ then might it be just to infer that we abstain from sex, gay or straight, as well as pork, drugs, alcohol, and anything else that may interfere with our relationship with GOD 1st?

Pleasing GOD 1st, is our PRIMARY GOAL 1ST

[TheSanctifiedSoldier]

The ideology that "if it feels good then do it" was born during the drug/sex culture of the 70's which was anchored in rebellion...This is understandable when approached logically...notwithstanding, gauging people's deep-set feelings and emotions about their attractions is very difficult...

I am not at all supporting discrimination from the Church but I am imploring homosexuals to consider deeper self evaluation

The matter of God is HOLINESS. Period. Our choices shouldn't disrupt HIS HOLINESS

[TheSanctifiedSoldier]

My message is simple...present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto GOD, (not man or religion), which is your reasonable service...

Can homosexuals sacrifice the act? Let's bring about an evolution in this conversation about homosexuality and discuss sexuality in general...children are NOT born straight or gay...there is no psychology to support that...

During childhood development several influences negative/positive help to shape the choices we make...simple as that...
