The way the bible reads we will be born again after we die NOT BEFORE BELOW PETER TELLS YOU WHAT BORN AGAIN MEANS. 1 Peter Chap 1/23) Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. Corruptible Means) The act of corrupting or making putrid, or state of being corrupt or putrid; decomposition or disorganization, Tending to decomposition or (DECAY;) Incorruptible Means) Not corruptible; incapable of corruption, decay, or dissolution; HOW CAN YOU BE BORN AGAIN HERE ON THIS EARTH IF YOU DIE IN CORRUPTION AND YOUR BODY WILL (DECAY) ? #3 YOU ARE BORN AGAIN when you are raised Incorruptible AND ALL Will be giving a spiritual body, and your body WILL NOT DECAY. The Resurrection Body 1st Corinthians 15 42So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 43It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: 44It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 45And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. 46Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. 47The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. 48As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. 49And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

Let us try to illuminate what people mean by "he's beating around the bush". Let us start by making clear what are the question being asked by the interviewer. The interviewer asks him: *What do so many of the churches have against homosexuality?* _His answer:_ *_" I think most Protestant and Catholic and Orthodox Christians over the years have said you read the Bible and the Bible has reservations. the Bible says homosexuality is not God's original design for sexuality."_* Then he change the topic about other things that the bible says that is completely irrelevant to the question because it wasn't about what the bible says or not. But the almost identical christians opposition against homosexuality is that often it use to harms the community. So he spends most of his time talking about what he thinks the bible says instead of what Christian say and do. *What is your church approach to homosexuality?* _His answer:_ He never addresses this question *Is homosexuality a sin?* _His answer:_ _* "what do you mean by sin? but the answer is YES..." *_ _* Are homosexuals going to hell? *_ _His answer:_ *_"you don't go to hell for being homosexual"_* Then he changes the topic about greed. So the only conclusion you can arrive at from his answer is that Homosexuality is a sin, you don't go to hell because of it. Do we understand better why Christian are against it? no He was dancing around the question to give a very vague answer that wouldn't put him against other christians.

Yep, and it states that you shall not murder or lie? Since you have most certainly done the latter of these, are you ready for Hell?!!?

When I read and study the Bible with excellent teachers (mainly Calvary Chapel), I see that we are supposed to deny the flesh and try to follow well (with the help of Holy Spirit). Holy Spirit makes me notice or realize my pride or bitterness or bad attitude, my laziness and gluttony (whatever it is that needs to change). For instance, gossip is a form of murder, which I didn’t realize growing up as a “Christian” by tradition. I’m not supposed to just continue doing what I like to do (that is not how God wants me to be) but am supposed to ask God to keep convicting me and changing me to be more like Jesus. My son is about to live with his fiancé. This is wrong according to the Bible, and I pray that God’s will be done. I’ve discussed it and have asked my son to pray about it. Only God knows what He will and will not accept, and my concern is that I want to stay on the narrow road and I want to care about God’s laws. I do love gay people & because I love them, I would say that the Bible doesn’t condone acting out that lifestyle. If we didn’t love them, we wouldn’t care. Jesus said in Matthew 7:13 “Enter through the narrow gate.For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it”. I don’t mean any harm to gay people, but this is something serious for them to consider and take to The Lord in prayer. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 for everyone in this world, always!

PSALMS 1 1Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. 4The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. 5Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

In my own experience my mother was extremely dominant and aggressive and my father was laid back and uninvolved. Not to say they were bad parents...it's just who they were. in my early to mid teens I had attractions to men and I didn't have a strong Christian upbringing (my mother used to drag us kids to church sporadically and on major holidays and she taught us to to believe in God and to be good...but nothing really beyond that). So I didn't realize the attractions were not unusual, and I didn't have any healthy ways to express/satisfy those feelings. also, in the seventies the media was already telling us homosexuality is perfectly normal... 10% of the population and blah blah blah. So I went with those base feelings. so that's a bit about my story...others come to that path in totally different ways. And when it comes to lesbians...it's quite true that, generally, they do seem to hate men....something about the men in their lives. But again it is all very complex and there are different stories for everyone.

@@theresnohell3144 The bible clearly states that there is a hell. However, what I want to say is that the commandment isnt "thou shall not kill", but "thou shall not MURDER". Otherwise God wouldnt have given them this commandment. Alongside that, we mustnt forget that the laws back then were specifically given to the Children of Israel in order to prevent sin. As you probably know, laws can form the behavior of a society and since Israel was strongly affected by eg their neighbouring countries who have been sinning, God needed to put constrictions. Thats why it says that they are to "purge the evil" among themselves. You can later even read in the Bible how Israel starting performing these insane rituals that made them sin against God. Most people cant imagine a thing when they hear "sin", but if you actually read about these rituals, it is quite understandable why God gave them these rules. Slicing babies throats and making them walk on fire. Having public sex with several men for demonic Gods. Homosexuality itself was also a big problem. It wasnt only inconsistent with nature, but it led to greed in the sense of "i want more sex". Saying that God has made an unrighteous judgement is nonsense.

To the people who think that being gay is a choice, does that mean when you were young you could have chosen to be gay if you wanted to? If you answer no to that question, why would you think that someone else could choose to be gay? I honestly don't know why I am gay, but I do know that it had nothing to do with how my parents raised me. I was nowhere near a "momma's boy". I was actually much closer to my dad and spent more time with him than I did with my mom, and he treated me just like any "normaI" dad would treat his son. I was raised exactly the same way and in the same house as my older brother, who turned out to be straight. And I was never sexually abused when I was a kid. I never even knew anyone who was gay until I was 17. Nothing about my childhood was abnormal or out of the ordinary. If it were as easy as just being a choice, I would have chosen to be straight a long time ago, because the discrimination and hatred that many gay people face has tormented me for most of my life. Because of that, I still haven't accepted myself for being gay, unfortunately, from the time I knew that I was different when I was 7-8 years old, all the way up until today. I thank God that there are caring people out there who support and understand the LGBTQ community.

At this holy time of the year ( Easter ) the time to reflect on why God sent His Son Jesus to earth should be foremost in our minds. Why did Christ have to die a horribly painful death on the cross ? To take OUR SINS upon Himself, so that WE would not have to pay the penalty for them. He offers us eternal life after this short earthly existence ends. It is a free gift, which we can choose to accept or reject, by believing in what He did for us - or not. Sin is the breaking of God's laws. We are ALL sinners, because we can never be as perfect as the One who made us. "The wages of sin is death" ( Romans 6;23 ). To avoid this fate, we ALL need salvation ( i.e. saving ), including homosexuals.

God already approves of the identity of his children, having them made in His image, fearfully and wonderfully, with plans and an original design for our lives. Knowing God doesn't chasing Him so that one can be made good enough. Knowing God means knowing the price that He already paid for you--Jesus Christ. The whole Gospel is a message of hopeless unworthiness on the basis of condition and not works, that is, that God is a holy God, and that the capacity for sin is the product of free will, incomprehensibly remedied by a perfect love. In your moment of sin, there's separation; but God's heart for you isn't as a parent that scolds His children in an imperfect anger. God's heart is heartbreak, yearning for you to do the things that are best for you, because He knows what's best for you better than you know what's best and better than we know ourselves. He wants to be with you because of an untainted love. It's us who run the other way in rebellion, not the type of rebellion that rages in bitterness and a passion for hatred, but the rebellion of the nature of flesh against the original design that He created. You are good enough. He sees you as good enough. And the impossible paradoxical irreconcilable burden of sin is just to be laid at the feet of Jesus as we approach God in confidence, with boldness, yet with meekness and reverence and awe, receiving a relationship we never deserved, paid for by the one we wrong.

Wow Wow ...Only now come across this!! ... Well Mr. Keller, this is one of the most timid, weak, horrible, roundabout, indirect explanation to a very direct and simply structured question.... I hope you have changed over the years!!

I am so thankful that God will judge me and not the very non-Christlike views expressed here. I love the Bible verse "Let each man work out his own salvation with fear and trembling." Also, the book of Revelations talks about the "righteous" people who ask God "didn't we do all these good things in your name? and He replies "Depart from me, I never knew you." Many "Christians" are in for a great surprise on Judgment Day." You are NOT fooling God, only fooling yourself.

Hating the person and hating the sin are two different things. As Christians, we are to hate sin. We are to love our neighbors. As children, a lot of times we do things that our parents hate and we get punished. Does that mean that our parents hate us? No. It means that they don't like what we did, and we need to learn to make a better choice. As humans, we are not our actions. The heterosexual that lusts after someone other than their spouse is just as sinful (even though they were technically "born that way" too).

He would not create someone to be the same abomination that he commanded us to *not* partake in. That age old argument of 'I was born this way does not fly in the face of our Creator' because to truly be saved, you must be born again anyway. God did not say that you cannot live as you please, He said that you cannot spend eternity with Him as the wages of sin is death. Eternal death is the consequence for choosing to remain in sin and not knowing His only Begotten Son Jesus Christ for the pardoning of our sins. I hope that I didn't upset you, but the Truth isn't always nice and it certainly isn't popular. 💝

I love Tim keller as someone who is left leaning “ politically not biblically “ I feel totally out of place in evangelical Christianity . I’m a former conservative and trump supporter who was for Bernie this time around. I’ve considered walking away from god altogether so many times because I knew the more research I did and more books I read the chance of me ever returning to political conservatism is extremely slim. But thankfully I know god loves and accepts me even though I don’t fit in the mold of the small town conservative republican evangelical.

True, God loves all, but we go to Him on His terms, not ours. And if we reject His terms - which are made clear in His Word, the Bible - we are rejecting Him. “If you keep My commandments, you will abide (remain) in My love…”John 15:10. Why not read more of His Word than other books, so you can know more of His will and His mind.

TheASHSTURGEON Often the Truth isn’t TAUGHT because it was never LEARNED. Also, sexuality itself is promoted on the screen, then condemned in the home or school. The concept of LOVE isn’t taught along with sexuality. (A major failure IMO) Schools are afraid to teach values because they fear losing funding. CHURCHES are afraid to teach truth for the same reason. GOVERNMENT does not have the right to interfere with religion (unless physical harm is advocated by a group in the Name of God) Pastors, Teachers, Parents, Grandparents, ALL have a DUTY to teach the upcoming generation. I observed four families whose father’s served in WWII that were not able to be “present” because they had PTSD so severely all they could do is drink. Some dropped out of school to serve. Many never made it home. The Korean, Vietnam, and other conflicts were extensions of the same struggle for power. The damage to a family without a strong & present father is incalculable! Sin digs it’s way deep through the generations. We ALL sin second by second. The Christian is supposed to feel deep awareness, sorrow & regret for their sin and fights to remove it from their life. That personal struggle never ends, but Jesus Christ HAS taken OUR life sentence upon Himself! We must admit our faults, ask God to change our minds about sin, and use His power to overcome our sinful areas. It’s our attitude toward sin and forgiveness that condemns us.

Etc stop interfering you do not know what you are talkingvabout we have living Father in heaven and mist of criminals in my sons s hool had fathers in house we were ok until you did this calling it stress as single parent sticking to your lune to do forced adoption. Tes liar christians who do not say intima y before marriage is a sin oe who give peoplecwho have no clue hakjie looks exclyde them watch them being bullied by bunch of hypocrites is a sin too si stop going on about need fir fathers. I say not to exclude them but to stop you and others oersecuting people aline and from taking children giving them to fathers alone shuttingbout the mother. Youbshould see the mess a family is in when a mother is absent mt mothers mother died when she was 14and ny step dads mum died later on so watch what you say. Si many children have died in arms of fathers. Stop doing this its non of peooles budiness it was stsrtex if as campaign by people to deluberately deter mums aline. We still get livked up in hospital have to tolerate men imposing them selves as substitute fathers and women being snipey with us hogging our child our only child all to them selves.

So women observing should clamp their mouths shut as should snoopy neighbours who get invilved and men whi judge mind your own business we tell if we need to stop leabing them out.

I felt Keller in this instance skirted the issue and some of the questions by distracting from the questions themselves. There are few sins that are called "perversion," "shameful lusts," and "indecent acts." These come from the Word of God, not from individuals. This was an opportunity to tell it like it is, as God has communicated it. Yes, love is important, we are even to love our enemies. But adulterous acts, fornication, homosexual acts, bestiality, incest, these cannot be tolerated in the church. They are very serious sins. So if the subject focuses on one particular sin or prohibition in the Bible, you do not do them justice by distracting and focusing on another or other sins. Answer the questions as God has stated the answers so clearly.
