Here's the place where we question what today's teachings and translations say about Jesus, salvation, and many other spicy topics. Let's talk! Be nice!
I am still searching out what scripture has to say about practicing homosexuality, and what better way to help me out than to have more resources? And tell me why someone who actually struggles with it shouldn't have a well-rounded perspective of opinions and support?
Why can't Christians express their opinions without some kind of marketing mindsetters deciding who's opinion is better? Just let us hear what people have to say, and let us sort it out with scripture and prayer.
God gives us the freedom to have our own opinion - I guess some might think they have a better way to do it.
Missy, I'm searching the scriptures, too...and the more I study...AWAY from both Ann Nyland's work and the stuff of denominations, the more interesting it all becomes.
The behavior of, say, Larry Craig, more closely resembles what the scriptures are talking about than that of the gay people that I know and love.
I'm bringing some of my thoughts on religion, spirituality, and faith here; make no mistake--I'm a Jesus freak, through and through. I am not, however, a religion freak.When Paul speaks in the Bible about the coming of false prophets and teachers, I think he was warning about what has happened after his death. . .in other words, a lot of what's happening in today's churches.

Isaiah 45:22-23 (KJV) Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
John 12:32 (KJV) And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
1 Timothy 4:10-11 (KJV) For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. These things command and teach.
Philippians 2:9-11 (KJV) Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
1 Corinthians 15:22 (KJV) For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

This negativity proves that we only use 10% of our intellectual power.

God doesn't waste experiences. Graham Cooke calls Him "intentional." All this is to move us toward Him--even those with whom we disagree.
We have learned much and there is more coming. Exciting, isn't it!
