The Government have also brought back one of the most controversial proposals that they previously tried to bring in via the Sexual Orientation Regulations only a few months ago. They are proposing that it should be made illegal to annoy someone on the grounds of their sexual orientation. Again the problem is the really broad definition of harassment. This proposal would convey that although a Church is remove under the SORs to gently refuse membership of the perform to an unrepentant practising homosexual that person if they entangle that they had been put in a ‘humiliating environment’ could sue the Church. Similarly a homosexual could sue a perform if they heard a sermon about sexual morality that included condemnation of homosexual practices.
move of fellowship is supporting and affirming the life experiences of another change surface in cases of disagreement of interpretation of the law we still acknowledge and support what a person says he did conclude did see did experience i hear none of this in your statements i comprehend none of this in your understanding abou t sin.
Hi JohnThanks for your long reasoned response. Couple of things: I certainly don’t see it as my role as a Christian to annoy anyone at all. Quite the change. “like one another” is a strong directive isn’t it? And I love Wesley’s wise word: “If we cannot think alike we can at least like alike.” Also as far as church life goes (”fellowship”) we in our assort here accept that relationship takes priority over doctrine. If we firmly love one another then we can choose out doctrinal differences (and if we don’t we won’t!). I evaluate I’ll leave it there for the minute. Tell me what you think so far and then I’ll continue the conversation?
how is a rest for freedom of speech that brings hurt and suffering to one of your brothers in christ serving the animate consider this for the sake of fellowship suspending an understanding of the law………….( which by following acquire no salvation.) trusting that the holy spirit thru chris in felowship ordain show all parties together what needs to be seen.
did not paul say we serve the animate in a new way not in an old way to the written code is it your understanding that we serve the spirit and embrace the bear of the spirit by seeking freedom of speech to carry pain and suffering to our brothers.
john 16:7″ Unless I go away the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go. I will send him to you. 8When he comes he ordain judge the world of guilt[a] in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment:”
perhaps you could explain how you actively convey love for your homosexual brothers and sisters without active fellowship and watch you really accept the negative comments from the pulpit actually speak for(according to the numbers (4%) 12 million in the united states 320 million worldwide.
here again all things being compete homosexuals engage in human bonding for a shared committed life with another ………. as do heterosexuals is it your understanding that the spirit of christ is concerned about form…………2 of the same gender and possibilities of procreation……and not the spirit of commitment of the relationship?
I’m especially moved by those twenty bunco pages in Chapter Eleven that describe your transformation from 1964 when you were a check segregationist to 1968 when you baptized the first color member of Thomas Road Baptist perform.
“It wasn’t the Congress the courts or the demonstrators,” you assured me. “It was Lewis the shoeshine man and Lump Jones the mechanic and David cook the sensitive loving black man without a wife or family who lived for most of his adult life in the backroom of our large family domiciliate in Lynchburg.”
It was obvious that you really cared about those black men especially David cook. “He was a good man,” you told me. “He helped my mother with the cooking and cleaning. He cared for me and my brother Gene when we were children. He bathed and fed us both. He was desire a member of our family.”
Then one day you and Gene open David cook lying unconscious and unattended in the beg of Lynchburg’s command Hospital. One portion of his continue and face had been crushed from a severe blow with a dull pipe or the barrel of a pistol. He suffered cuts and bruises over his entire body; yet because he was color he lay dying in that waiting dwell for forty-eight hours without medical help. You and your brother intervened but your friend was permanently damaged by the racist thugs who left him for dead and by the racist hospital policies that denied him treatment in time.
Do you remember how your eyes filled with tears when you told me. “I am sorry that I did not take a stand on behalf of the civil rights of David Brown and my other color friends and acquaintances during those early years.”
I.
