• Summer on “for the Bible tells me so” — documentary on homosexuality

  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.

• Terry Smith on What I believe about God

  Jeff,

  I like your blog and the section that describes your beliefs

  I like that and do share the same beliefs.

  I used to be in a Church that denied Christ's Diety and I finally

  broke away from that CULT, problem is my wife is still a hardcore

  member of that particuliar Church.

  Wishing you the Best

  yours in Christ

• Kathie on Debate on Gay Marriage

  Thank you, Deborah....More and more churches are becoming "welcoming" churches, where the homosexual community can go to worship. I am so happy that is becoming more and more frequent. How can these children know and love God without the fellowship and community that the church can offer. It is only by our example will we lead others to the Lord. The sad thing is that still the majority of churches are not welcoming, making it very uncomfortable for these children to attend.

  I truly believe God will speak to them if we can find a way to show them God in our behavior and words.

• deborah webb on Debate on Gay Marriage

  @ Kathie, you have given a wonderful and most thoughtful response. I understand that homosexuality is not acceptable according to scripture, however, those who God created are acceptable. We are commanded to love each other.Of course, how can we say we love God, whom we cant see if we dont love our neighbors whom we see every day. Thank you for that affirmation and the opportunity to open the door for someone whose life style and choices dont fit into the nice tidy description that some christians reserve for themselves.
