How Jesus can repair a homosexual's heart.







Only about one in twenty people that do not know who Jesus Christ is, can figure out that a person cannot be born homosexual.

“…In short, he argued that the same Christ that redeems sinners also helps them to "change" -- i.e., to put aside those things the Bible defines as sin. Burnett's response was astonishing at one level and not surprising at another. It's no surprise that she would be in favor of gay marriage. It is astonishing, however, that she would be so overtly dismissive of basic Christian morality -- as if it were completely outside the bounds of rational discourse.

…Christ not only saves sinners from the penalty of sin but also from power of sin (Romans 6:14). That means that genuine Christianity inevitably results in a changed life on the part of the one who trusts in Christ. From the moment of conversion, the Spirit of God progressively transforms Christians into the image of Jesus Christ (Romans 8:29; 2 Corinthians 3:18). Without this kind of holiness, no one will see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14). To reject God's purpose of holiness is to reject Christianity altogether (1 Thessalonians 4:7-8).

What the Bible teaches on this matter is not aimed only at gay people. It goes for all sinners, gay or straight. Every person who receives Christ and believes the gospel must change. They cannot remain the sinner that they were without calling into question the validity of their conversion. As one preacher put it, "If the faith that saved you didn't change you, then it didn't save you."

This does not mean that sinners become perfect all at once. … The work of sanctification is a progressive work that extends over the course of one's life. There are stops and starts, triumphs and failures along the way. But it is nevertheless the mark of a Christian that he is working out his salvation with fear and trembling, knowing that it is God who is at work in him both to act and to will according to God's good pleasure (Philippians 2:12-13). For many gay people who come to Christ, it may be a life-long struggle. But the Bible teaches that they will have what they need for the fight (2 Peter 1:3) and that they are not bound by this sin any longer (Romans 6:6).

What Burnett dismisses as "crazy" and "hateful" is at the heart of the Christian faith. To deny that the Gospel can change sinners -- even homosexual ones -- is to deny Christianity altogether. That is why Mohler's answer was profoundly and biblically right. He didn't give any ground on this issue, and neither should any Christian who wishes to give a defense of the hope that is in him (1 Peter 3:15). It is neither crazy nor hateful to suggest that gays can change. It's the essence of love that God enables them to do so. …”

Dan Savage vs. the Word of God/Challenge for Dan Savage.

In the video below, that contains language that some people might find offensive, anti-Christ bigot Dan Savage calls scriptures that forbid sexual sin in the Bible "bull****." Then Mr Savage goes on to cherry-pick Old Testament verses concerning food-handling that were made obsolete by the words and sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Just as the word "homosexual" didn't exist when God wrote the Bible through men, the word "employee" didn't exist either. In the contemporary American language of this blog, the word "slave" in Romans, in the Bible, would be "employee," since the "slaves" spoken of in the New Testament, were being paid for their work!

Dan Savage is using a very old tactic of twisting scripture to justify his homosexual sin, since the Bible condemns slavery, which was called "manstealing" in it's day, in 1 Timothy 1:8-11! And, to the Glory of God, (who exposes Dan Savage's entire argument in one verse) verse 10 condemns men who have sex with men (whom we now call "homosexuals," and no longer call "sodomites") before slave traders.

Since he had an audience of young Christians who couldn't possibly have the scriptural knowledge of a mature Christian, Mr Savage got away with mischaracterizing the Word of God and deceiving many into thinking that God is now okay with sexual sin. Notice that sexual sin is the first thing mentioned here.

When will Mr. Savage go into a Mosque and call the verses that command the death of homosexuals in the Quran "bull****"?

The original info that inspired my challenge to Dan Savage to debate scripture with me on this blog can be found here.

We ARE preaching love.


When a servant of Jesus Christ shares the Word of God to a member of the glbt community in an appropriate manner, it IS an act of love. God is love; and his Son Jesus is the way the truth and the life. And The Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ can heal a person of the emotions that cause same-sex attraction and all other sexual sin. Jesus Christ also defines marriage as being between one man and one woman.

But, yet again, if you tell a member of the glbt community the truth-in a loving way-about sexual sin, you will be mischaracterized as a "hater," and smeared with lies.

“...Christian believers and activists with signs and American (and Israeli) flags didn’t give an inch outside of the Holy Grounds Coffee House in Springfield, Mass., as a loud, well-organized “Occupy Springfield” protest converged to harass and intimidate them, targeting Pastor Scott Lively and his inner-city Christian mission. Christian activists also counter-picketed the nearby storefront of the “Occupy” organization with the message that they weren’t backing down.

It’s believed to be the first time in the U.S. that any Occupy harassment action has been met with resistance by those they were targeting.

In the Sunday Nov. 13 edition of the area’s local newspaper The Springfield Republican, a shocking display ad appeared attacking Scott Lively and falsely charging him with a list of various “hate” crimes. It also included the names of over 250 people as signatories. A few of the names are recognizable as local residents or statewide homosexual activists, but most of them are untraceable and appear to be made up. ...”

Homofascists attack N.Y. State Senator Ruben Diaz.


Homosexual activists want to kill him and "sexually assault" his daughter because New York State Senator Ruben Diaz stands for Jesus Christ's definition of marriage; which is between one man and one woman.

How is this not homofascism? How is this not homointolerance? What kind of a society do I live in where a man's life and daughter are threatened because of his stand for sexual sanity? What percentage of the glbt community supports the murder of Senator Diaz and the sexual assault of his daughter?

“...The entire campaign to enact same-sex marriage is conducted under a banner of acceptance, and equality and respect for others,” Barnes continued. “Yet behind that banner of tolerance is another campaign – of intimidation, threats and ugliness. What at first appears to be simple juvenile behavior by a few is becoming a culture and climate of abusiveness toward those who disagree. ..”

A Long fall from grace.


When it was just two young men accusing this dude of homosexual seduction, I still had hope for his innocence. But now, just a few hours ago, a fourth accuser has come forward. Four young men accuse this guy of the same thing? It's over for this "bishop."

When Christians have as much money as this guy, there's usually something fishy, (no pun intended) about their ministry. It's okay for a servant of Christ to have nice things, but Mr. Long was over the top. It seems that his lavish lifestyle has corrupted him in a horrible way and he's been sexually pursuing young men. That is a really big sin. Story here and here.

How homosexual "marriage" affects Christians.


Would there be a public outcry if a counselor refused to see a married man concerning his affair with his mistress? Would there be public outrage if a counselor refused to speak to a man concerning his childproofed, consensual, sexual relationship with his adult sister? If Tiger Woods had come out of the closet as a homosexual, would he have lost any of his endorsements?

Why is it that the glbt community gets an automatic pass when it comes to their sexual misconduct? Story here.
