Persecution

[herald]

If you are an homosexual, you will be destroyed in the lake of fire, but, there is a way out...Invite the Spirit of God to live within you, and you will have eternal life.

 

[lone wolf]

You're really fascinated by hot water ain'cha?

 

[Cliffy]

From studying psychology it is my understanding that homophobes like herald are actually closet queens. He is probably so terrified of his attraction to men that he beats himself with a cat of nine tails every time he has "impure thoughts".

 

[herald]

That isn't true...I walk in His Spirit and teach the Word.He gives us the power to obey His Word/His law. Those who break the Ten Commandments will be cast into the lake of fire and be destroyed.

"Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have RIGHT to the tree of life, AND MAY ENTER IN through the gates into the city." Rev 22:14.

You, either, serve the Lord, or, you serve the Devil...if you serve the Devil, your end will be just as his end will be...the lake of fire. Rev 20:10.

Meaning what, exactly?

Unless you actually believe people who are gay can be "cured" of their oh so horrible disease...

:roll:

I consider the concept of one's sexual orientation as a disease.........
To be a flawed concept
And frankly ,the business of no one else's

Well, I agree with it being no one else's business.

I think people put too much emphasis on seuxal orientation, no matter which it is.

My question? Prove that a homosexual will be destroyed in a lake of fire.

You can't.

Which makes everything you've stated, Herald, just one more opinion.

So then a homosexual who invites the Spirit of God to within him/her will have eternal life. There ya go.

Are you inviting the spirit of god within you for friendship or romance?

 

[Cliffy]

After reading the bible I decided that to have anything to do with that god would be screwing myself.

 

[YukonJack]

What would you rather be:

A Christian persecuted in Saudi Arabia

OR

A Muslim persecuted in America?

Just curious.

 

[TenPenny]

I'd rather be left alone to practise (or not) religion in my own way, thanks.

Around the world, Christians are being persecuted for their faith. My grandparents went to China as missionaries. The Communists went to every house in the village and killed all foreigners, except their house. My grandfather was arrested by Mao Tse Tung, put on trial, with a gun held to his head. He was ordered to renounce his faith. Instead, he preached the gospel to thousands of Communist Chinese. They threw him into a dungeon. Meanwhile, my grandmother fled into the wilderness with the three children. My father, a very cerebral Pathologist said, bandits would ride up, slit your clothes and kill you. Out of nowhere, there was a sound of a bugle and it scared them off.

My grandfather prayed to the Lord, to take him home, or, set him free. That day "someone" came and opened the door. He thought he was going to be executed. Instead, he led him to the Hong Kong Harbor. He found his family and went to Singapore.

We are living in the last days, persecution is going to arise. When the church was being persecuted by Saul, the Lord said, "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me? And he said, who art Thou Lord? And the Lord said I AM Jesus, whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks...Arise and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do." Acts 9:4-6.

Jesus said, "Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for My sake." Matt 5:11.

Jesus said, "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you and persecute you." Matt 5:44.

There are Christians all over the world, that have experienced persecution. Radical Islam and radical Hindus are persecuting Christians in their own countries. But we hear them say, "Persecution only makes us stronger." Can we say that? Muslims in Iran are having dreams and visions of Jesus and are coming to Him. I heard a testimony by a former Muslim the other day, he said, that, over 15 million Muslims are now Christians. There are Christian meetings of over 2 million strong in Nigeria. In Israel, there are over 180 Messianic congregations - those who claim, that, Jesus is the Messiah. God is pouring out His Spirit so much in China, that, they do not have enough pastors. Thousands of Christians disappear every year in North Korea. God is pouring out His Spirit in Northern Europe, and in Cuba, and in South America. We are approaching the end of all things.

Jesus said, "But he that received the seed in stony places, the same is he that heareth the Word, and anon with joy he receiveth it. Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for awhile: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the Word, by and by he is offended." Matt 13:21.

The Apostle Paul said, "Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong." 2 Cor 12:10.

The Apostle Paul wrote, "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ, shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written For Thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height nor depth nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Rom 8:35-39.

The Apostle Paul wrote, "Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." 2 Tim 3:12.

"And I saw under the altar the souls of them that were martyred for the Word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried out with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost Thou not judge, and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?" Rev 6:9,10.

Are we ready to be persecuted for our Lord Jesus Christ?

quoting the bible is useless to those who do not believe Christianity

I like this question. I choose certain death: Christian persecuted in Saudi Arabia.

Have a martyr complex, do you? Nothing like martyrs to fill the ranks.

 

[petros]

So how does a twisted sexual deviant like St Theresa who fantasized about having sex with Jesus on the crucifix get made a saint?

Lake of fire?

That sounds like a hot tub to me!

Beats sitting around on a damp cold cloud listening to harps with no gays around to tell straight jokes.

Wrong! First instinct may be to choose muslim persecuted in America cuz it doesn't seem as harsh, BUT...

the muslim isn't saved and lives defeated everywhere he goes..
the muslim doesn't have a relationship with Jesus/God
the muslim doesn't go to heaven

the Christian lives in victory regardless of hardships
the Christian knows God, has God with him, is comforted during hardships
the Christian goes to heaven

Its an easy decision really.

Yes! I passed the question!!!

As I said, the 10 Commandments have nothing about homosexuality in them. For that matter, neither do the "Deadly Sins".

And there are Muslims that say Hinduism is nonsense, and Hindus say Christianity is nonsense, and around and around they go. Not one can prove what they say, though. It's ALL based upon personal prejudices. It's a load of bigoted nonsense.
