I think quite a few homosexual Christians might disagree with you. IIRC, there has recently been a high-profile appointment of a homosexual priest in the UK. Would you go up to him and say, "Sorry, pal, you might live a life ten times less sinful than mine but you are not a Christian because you're gay?"

I say again - there is no such thing. That's like saying, "I'm a Christian, but I also worship a few idols, demons, etc. - but Jesus is my primary thing, yeah..."
The stupidity is so thick, you probably COULDN'T cut it with a knife.
...a sea of sulfuric blazing hellfire, though... that would probably do it.

Oh, I'm sorry, I must be mistaken: are you God? You sure sound like it when you say his actions disgust God, as if you know personally exactly what God likes and dislikes. Or perhaps you just read it in the Bible, so you're relying on a tertiary source about something supernatural which man cannot comprehend but must rely on faith as proof to condemn someone else for being gay The mind boggles.
If you're referring to the whole Bishop of Reading fiasco, the guy either declined the position or resigned it shortly after being given it (I can't recall which) because of the convulsions the appointment caused in the CoE / Anglican communion.Originally posted by Nad

Just like there are no lying christians, no stealing christians, no jealous christians and no christians that hate their parents. Furthermore, never ever did a christian kill another human.
And all christians love their homosexual neigbours! That is why they expell them from school
PT2, following your reasoning, there are no christians!
The simple fact you think they did the right thing makes me hope God does exist. If God is truely out there, you will probably in the top ten hell candidates.
Lucky you, He is not out there!
Given that the attempt to install a gay bishop was the work of the recognised head of the Anglican church, I would have to say that the issue cannot be considered as cut & dried as that.Originally posted by Hawkster
ok at the risk of getting flammed here....
This case and the arguements over gay priests all falls into one arguement for me - the rules of these organisations all state the homosexuality is against their beliefs (I make no comment on the right and wrong of that) therefore being homosexual is unacceptable - and against the rules. Therefore they are right to expel or not accepet anyone who will not follow the rules - if you don't like the rules don't join the club.

Ahh, so then, we should just let people do whatever they want? Let them run wild, where ever they want! Murder is fine! Just keep walking by, not your place to judge! Go ahead - let Hitler conquer the world. No reason to stand up and fight, it's not our place to judge him you know.
Look there! A women being raped! Not MY place to judge! I'm sure it's all going to work out for her, you know.
Release all prisoners! Afterall! -It's not OUR place to judge them, of course!
Let gays run the church! Let them mingle in Christian schools! Afterall, our beliefs mean nothing to US! Yeah, just let the homosexuals run the church, great idea! Hey, maybe *I* could just be bisexual! Love thy neighbor, you know!
I can't take it anymore. This forum is making me stupid. My IQ has dropped at least 35 points since March 25, 2003.
yeah, sure the forum is to blame...Originally posted by PantheraTigris2
