I WAS NOT referring to JF or JF. Both are doing a good job.

No doubt there are a few who may be disgruntled about something but Jonathon has surprised a lot of people, many saying he's a better preacher than his dad. (Even though many of us would have to admit Sr. had great stories and could always hold your attention. ) A humble spirit goes a long way.I don't think anyone here other than maybe BC has anything bad to say about Jonathon... I'm saying this based on his earlier comment about younger folks.

I'm sure Liberty handles this the same way BYU does --- being "gay" (that is, being attracted to the same sex, but not acting on it) doesn't trigger any consequences, engaging in sex outside of marriage (defined as in the eyes of God --- so, gay marriage will always be a sin) does. For now, serious religious schools can still maintain their standards.Problem is, this new ruling changes that. According to Gorsuch, if I deny a job to a man because he's married to a man, that's sex discrimination, since a woman being married to a man would not have prevented her from having that job. Likewise with a transgender individual.

We can still be Christians and Christ followers and have our issues.

cruzan_flame13 wrote: ↑June 24th, 2020, 11:18 amThat’s not what you said though. And now you are defining sin. We can all agree Murder is a sin. But is violence? We can all pretty much agree that drunkenness is a sin. But is drinking? No one, especially Baptist’s, talk about the sin of gluttony. Slothfulness anyone? The Holy Spirit is the one who is Biblically mandated to guide and change us. We are commanded to love one another. So for the Brother or Sister who feels I am sinning by drinking a Zima I show them love and don’t condemn them for their narrow views.Purple Haize wrote: ↑June 24th, 2020, 10:01 amI never said we wouldn't have issues.

Purple Haize wrote: ↑June 24th, 2020, 11:39 amThe bible states countless times to turn away from evil. The Holy Spirit does change us, yet we are told to turn away from sin. Doesn't that sound like with the guidance of the Spirit, we have to do what we are commanded to do? So if someone has been living a homosexual lifestyle, represents and is filled with the Spirit, they are born again. They will still deal with temptation and will fall. What I'm saying is if they are doing it willingly and promoting the sin as a right lifestyle, then that's an issue. That's the same for any other sinful ways.cruzan_flame13 wrote: ↑June 24th, 2020, 11:18 amThat’s not what you said though. And now you are defining sin. We can all agree Murder is a sin.
