Thus far, 31 states have voted on the gay marriage law. Thus far, 31 states have voted to repeal it. Thus far, common sense and decency still prevails in this great nation of ours. Thank goodness!

My, my, my! Good ol' Satan is literally having a field day with this trashy provision. Another boondoggle by our liberal fiends of the government.
It's like Jesus promised us at the very end of His book:
"Surely I am coming quickly." [And John replied:] Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus! (Rev 22:20 NKJV)
And I second that!

One thing is very obvious when it comes to "debating" whether or not the practice of homosexuality is in God's eyes a sin. Those of us who believe in the inerrancy of the Scriptures hold to that belief. Those who think they can twist the words of God to justify their aberrant behavior, don't. It's that simple!
Of course, there's a ton of those who think the Bible is a piece of trash, a book of myths, wives tales, and folklore . . . designed to be ridiculed, mocked, and spit upon.
Oh well, either way, the latter two, the twisters and the mockers, will reap what they sow. God will see to that.
One thing for sure; Satan is alive and well in the state of California! He's definitely going about like a roaring lion, devouring whom he pleases. If people want to live a sordid lifestyle as Satan would have us, so be it. It's like Jesus taught us: "Whoever does not receive you, nor heed your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake the dust off your feet" (Mat 10:14 NASB).
I say leave 'em be. They've already chosen to follow the ways of the evil one, they've already being devoured. Just "shake the dust off" and let God take care of 'em.

The church today is loosing it! They're trying to "market" Christianity with their flashy preachers, their "praise bands" that sound like the modern secular rock bands, their huge TV screens, stupid skits, on and on, ad nauseam. So, they try to attract people with their "come to our church and we'll knock your socks off" mentality falsely believing that by having the largest church they must be doing the Lord's work. The secular community can't even tell the difference between worship in a church from that of being entertained at stupid motivational seminar. They're identical!!! It's the "All About Me!!" promotional gimmicks, the "feel-good" atmosphere. Self-esteem, self-actualization and all the other "me-me-me" trash. The word "sin" is never mentioned." Nothing is ever said about one's utter depravity and unworthiness without Jesus. Nothing is ever mentioned about the fact you might just end up in Hell.
Thank goodness, someone has seen the light! Go back to the basics: study the bible, teach it, preach it! Stop this tomfoolery nonsense of teaching garbage like Warren's "Purpose Driven Life." Get your focus back on Christ and off yourself!

Hey Mike2685! No need to worry my good friend. The government officials in Connecticut won't listen to the mandate of the people. They're minds are already made up: gays can do whatever they want . . . to Hades with all Christians!
Oh man Mike2685! You said: "My friend, our own personal opinons is not what matters here; what has God said in his Word regarding this issue?"
Dude, you're the only one posting here who's giving their personal opinions . . . again do you want book, chapter and verse?
I'll give the facts . . . straight from God Himself! No opinions . . . just the facts!
Yo Mike2685! You said: "Are we assuming we know what he does and does not bless now?"
Dude! There absolutely no assumption here . . . only sheer certainty as to what God blesses and doesn't. You want me to give you book, chapter and verse . . . or do you want to remain "uninformed" and go totally against the will of God?
It's your call, man . . . and it's a no-brainer! Get it right for once, eh!
Yo Mike2685! Hey man! You're wrong! God isn't blessing you and your partner at all . . . man is. And that don't count for nothing, dude! God may love you, but He does not, in any form or fashion, condone your behavior. And neither do Christians.
Connecticut, another state gone down the toilet. Who's next?
Yeah, I love the way the old King James Version puts it:
"Be grave, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre."
Regarding these new "translations" and their publishers, greed rules the day, filthy lucre fills their hearts. I don't think God is too well-pleased. What was He said:
"If any man shall add unto these things [His Word], God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book."
Folks, we're looking at the new post-modern version of a watered-down Christianity. It's no small wonder this nation is going to Hades and FAST!

Blue1018, you said: "I Think God will judge this ridiculous sentence as blatantly ignorant," in reference to the following statement:
"The role of the Church is not to solve the ills of the world but to be faithful to the Preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ!"
Would you be kind enough to explain your rationale to us "ignorant" people. Thanks!

I'm afraid Rick Warren has gone the "way of the world." Like most who become popular, he's let it all go to his head. Now he puts himself to be a demi-god.
Warren, you need to get back to the fundamentals: read your bible, humble yourself, and SHUT UP!

Thanks Boltz! You've just given more ammunition for our good friends, the left-wing liberals. I'm sure Jesus feels awfully proud of your "confession."
On our own we are little more than bits of stone and glass. Together we are the Body of Christ. Holy Bible: Mosaic is an invitation to experience Christ in His Word and in the responses of his people. Each week, as you reflect on guided Scripture readings aligned with the church seasons, you will receive a wealth of insight from historical and contemporary writings.
