It is a sad truth that no major life advancements come easily. Growth and development take time and they take effort. That’s also true when it comes to the New Community God is building. For God’s community to be a life-giving community, we have some hard work to do. But the rewards will be worth it!

SCRIPTURE: Ephesians 2:1-10
I guess if we want to have power for living, we probably should know where our life comes from in the first place. Don’t you think? Well, the source of our life is not our parents. I’m talking about our spiritual life, from where true life-power really comes. And that kind of life comes only from God.

I loved reading this entire debate. This really goes to show how often all Christians are lumped together in people's opinions. People like to believe that all Christians are hateful and judgmental, but while homosexuals,homosexual advocates, or non-believers are accusing Christians of these things they are themselves guilty of the same. The reason why I came to this page in the first place is because I have a friend who is gay and we've been debating back in forth on the gay rights agenda and whether or not being a homosexual is a sin, and he told me to watch the movie that your original post was about. I suppose he wants me to watch it so I can see that you can be a Christian and a homosexual at the same time. I guess I need to see it for myself so I can form my own opinion, but I really appreciate you taking the time to give your opinion and then to defend it to someone who decided to make it very personal against you. I very much admire your level head throughout in the face of such animosity.
