Skip, to say this as to the right from wrong, is to deny what God's Word said.
Genesis 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
This was not for Adam alone, it was for Mankind. We are Born with a Knowledge of right and wrong. Children will CHOOSE to do things they know is wrong over things they know is right.
We are born with a conscience.
Robert I disagree with you totally. I go 100 % with God's Word. Homosexuality is no different than any other sin. It is a Choice, not a birth or inherited item.
First let's look at what God says about Homosexuality:
Romans 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Romans 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
Romans 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Romans 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Romans 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Homosexuality by no means is "Natural" it is a choice.
Lust is a sin. All sin is of choice. Sin is never forced on someone.
xvr, while this is pretty true to a degree, Christianity is to be LIKE CHRIST, without exception. The false religions do not know this as truth.
Actually, God's System came to Earth with the Church, (Body of Believers) known truly to be Christians. We received the holy Ghost, and are to allow Him to guide us. If we do not connect with Him, we were never saved.
God gives us the recipe for our living. We are to work to earn what we need, and some of what we want,as long as it doesn't go against His teaching. As for Capitalism, I believe that term is totally misconstrued as a blanket element. We do need to earn a living, not live off others.
Socialism is one step to Communism, which if we look into the real meaning of Communism, it actually means the truism of Christianity, but as it is it does not come close. Communism/Socialism, today are ways of someone getting into power to run the people as they choose, not as is good for them.
If we follow God's Word, following Christ in living, we are doing as God wants. This can be dones by studying God's Word.
David, as the Scripture teaches, the Wisdom of the World (Conventional Wisdom,) is foolishness with God.
As for "Birth Control", this depends on what we term as birth control. If we as parents choose NOT to make babies, then that is not a sin, depending on how it is accomplished. There are many ways of preventing a woman from getting pregnant. However, if there is a pregnancy, then we have no right to murder the child. I call is murder because God calls it murder. A child is innocent prior to birth. Therefore, to eliminate him/her is murder. Period.
Those who question "What about rape, or incest?" ? Then they have a few hours to cleanse themselves to prevent that from becoming a baby. We cannot use ignorance, nor fear, as an excuse not to remedy the act. It is not sin to clean oneself of an invasion.
John_7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
We are to see things as Jesus sees them.
Luke 12:57 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
Do we deny God's Word?
This pretty well explains it:
1 Corinthians_2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. Are we as Christians not Spiritual?
Susan, I am new here and I do agree with you on the judgement issue to the point in actuality God tells us to JUDGE. The meaning of this Judgement is to determine if something is right or wrong. As for the Eternal Judgement, which is the penalty phase, that is God the Judge's office.
If we as humans see something, anything, and do NOT judge whether it be right or wrong, we have missed the entire teaching of the Bible.
As for laws, our laws, whether people want to admit it or not, came from God's Word, which details them completely. They are based on Morals. IF we had come from the Caveman side, (evolution,) we would have no moral laws. They were of the "Stronger wins" theory, which God shows as false. If a man wanted another man's woman, he could take a club, bash the guy on the head, and take his woman. Or anything else he chose. (This is similar to what is going on in today's lifestyle,) but not what God teaches mankind.
Those who quote the "You can't Judge" issue do not really study the Bible. Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. This is a simple warning. He details it with the next verse, where it states we need to be clean of what we are judging others of
You are wrong. Actually, the Bible has Easter in it. It also has the meaning, which was before the heathens took it through the Catholic Church Cult.
Acts_12:4 And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.
Easter:

To many people think the heathen had things before God. Remember, God made the universe and everything in it, Especially Easter. Without it, we would never have gotten saved.
