In response to John's article, I am in agreement! My walk with Jesus Christ began when I was 13. I grew up in foster homes, I was brutalized there. I never knew love of any kind and my foster parent was a "christian". This brought much pain and confusion in my life for many years.
I had all the doubts, the questions, and I saw more "faces of what Jesus was supposed to be" and I had such a hunger in my heart to really know Him!
It would be another 25 years before I would come to a clearer understanding (and God is still making things clearer). Jesus Christ, the Son of God was the ONE who could clearly see into peoples lives....HE knew them, Pharisee and all...it was the TRUTH that got Him killed! Man without GOD is a nightmare...when the Spirit of God left man because of ADAM....when sin entered and corrupted everything in this world...JESUS came to pay the price of RECONCILING the world back...so for me HE opened my eyes to see the TRUTH! WOW! The LORD GOD has written the knowledge of HIMSELF on every human heart, so man is without excuse!!!! I am HIS witness that HE is the ONLY GOD and there is NO OTHER! The truth of JESUS CHRIST is what needs to be preached from the pulpit...Jesus is looking for FOLLOWERS NOT FANS! How about if we BELIEVE GOD and OBEY what HE says! We need to STAND AND SPEAK THE TRUTH IN LOVE...JESUS PAID THE HIGHEST PRICE AND I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL! open the church doors and bring JESUS (who is in YOU) out to the world that so needs HIM!
Christians = followers of JESUS..and all believers, not just pastors, teachers...ARE MINISTERS of Reconciliation!

WE cannot! JESUS DID! IN HIM< WE CAN! I love JESUS and HE has so redeemed my life....I can love others because of HIS love for me!

GOD HATES ALL SIN...JESUS DIED FOR THE SIN OF THE WORLD! This world stands condemned...and the only hope for anyone is JESUS CHRIST!!!

God is HOLY...and sin keeps us from intimacy with GOD!!!! Man wants to bring the flesh, and every unholy thing before our Holy God! Man was created in HIS IMAGE! In CHRIST we are new creations....the old dies...including all sinful habits...after time..the things that used to be OK are no longer okay....in my heart...I DO NOT WANT TO SIN!
God is the one who tells us what SIN is...we do not define what it is...but in the latter days...MANKIND WILL BECOME LOVERS OF SELF...DENYING THE VERY ONE WHO CREATED THEM..WHY...THEY ARE LOVERS OF SELF...AND PRACTICE EVERY KIND OF INIQUITY, THEY HAVE ITCHING EARS, AND RAISE UP TEACHERS AND PREACHERS WHO TELL THEM WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR! I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST, IT IS A STENCH TO THOSE WHO ARE PERISHING BUT IT IS THE POWER OF GOD UNTO SALVATION FOR ALL WHO BELIEVE!

Finally, do not just take what folks here say, including myself, CRY OUT TO GOD yourself...and ask HIM to show you that HE is real..as I did...and you will be totally amazed how great, loving and MAGNIFICENT our Creator truly is!

For me, HE is everything, HE is my ABBA FATHER! It is nice to know, and I am fully convinced in my heart, mind and soul that I AM HIS CHILD for all eternity! HE wanted me to share my testimony with you all today...what the Enemy meant in my life for evil...the LORD GOD has worked and continues to work it for HIS GLORY and my good!
My whole family is being restored and our lives totally changed by our great GOD! Blessings and peace to you in Christ Jesus! For those out there calling yourselves brethren...please do not be attacking anyone...this is not a Christlike attitude. We should be Christlike in all that we do...expressing HIS love and grace to everyone we meet...if people do not accept HIS Gospel..that is their choice to do so!

Second: ALL SIN IS SIN TO GOD!!! Homosexuality is not the only sin, there is also the sin of ADULTERY and the sin of ANGER...JESUS told us....anger is comparable to murder...and so we ALL FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD!

Unless you accept that JESUS CHRIST is the Savior you need......"we cannot do this....JESUS DID IT.....and IN JESUS WE CAN! This world is a fallen world and it is PASSING AWAY! If you are truly following JESUS CHRIST and not just a fan....you will hear what "The Holy Spirit" is saying...whatever sin you have...confess it all to the LORD GOD...keep short accounts with God and with man"

IN CHRIST JESUS God has reconciled the world to HIMSELF...man just needs to ACCEPT and BELIEVE what God has already done in and through JESUS CHRIST!!

ALL mankind is made in HIS IMAGE...you really believe HE was going to let Satan steal HIS Family (which is what this Creation is...HIS FAMILY!!) But you can choose to pick where you will spend eternity....it's not what HE planned for you...but HE won't force you to love Him or to accept what HE has done for you! FOR HIS GLORY!

First the Lord God wanted me to share this: HE is not interested in any "religion" HE is interested in having a
"personal, unconditional love, relationship with every person HE has created. I do not argue Scripture, I believe what God has said, and each person has to come to that understanding. God is NOT a created being, HE is Spirit and HE is life! I was a woman who didn't believe and had many doubts and when I actually prayed and asked God to show me if HE were real and HE answered in a most profound way!
HE has used me as HIS witness that HE is really GOD and there is no other! My life is the testimony; of what I have endured and survivied; I could not have without GOD being right there! I was so abused, battered and DEAD!!!!! Only GOD brings life to the DEAD!!! You will NOT understand the WORD of GOD until YOU know that HE loves you and HE DIED for you so you could have a LIFE! Man is in rebellion and blinded by a very real Enemy and if you look at the condition of the world and our nation...mans kingdoms are falling down..The Kingdom of GOD is advancing and I say HALLELUJAH!!!
