Freddie wrote: It sure is great to see the support for our friend as he opposes gay lifestyle, etc. What I would like to see here in our open forum is the fact that many, I believe, amongst our brothers, struggle with this "sin" "problem". I really believe that many Christian men struggle with this problem but don't dare to come out and admit it. Am I right or wrong? I think you are right Freddie. I have been a bitter hateful homosexual "Christian" for many years until God by His grace made me see the enormity of my sin. Yet though I have broken all outward links to the homosexual subculture I still have to fight hard not to fall back into this terribly addictive and destructive behaviour. I thank God for a true and godly pastor who is supporting me and helping me to fight these powerful temptations and to remain faithful to Christ and His word. Thank you for this honest comment. There may very well be many more Christians out there who are consumed with this problem and do not have anyone to help them along in their struggles. Denying the problem will definitely not resolve it. "Christ came into the world to save SINNERS..." |

John UK wrote: Yes I agree it can well do. But a short testimony here: When I sought to get back to work after lengthy illness, becoming self-employed for the first time, I was greatly helped by guv agencies who had financial assistance from Europe, being given free business studies, free literature, and access to the tutors via phone or e-mail, plus free courses on how to fill in tax returns, and financial support. Sure, I nearly got in a big furore when, during one business study, I expressed myself concerning unethical practices in business, and that I would not be going the world's way just to make money. The tutor was wise enough not to argue. Maybe he got a little convicted of his sins. A Christian is an embarrassment to the world, because we stand up for values like truth and honesty and fairness. I don't see a problem in your taking advantage of the social system in this manner as long as you do not have to deny your Christian principles. I see a huge problem though with churches seeking the worlds accreditation in order to gain financial support. Nevertheless it may soon come to the point where ALL support from the governement will only be accessible to those who throw all Christian morality and convictions over board. |

John UK wrote: Lovely post! However, not all the money in the coffers of the ungodly government is dirty money. Some of it came from taxes paid in by Christians. Does that make it clean money? I believe that as Christians we are to give unto governement what is due to governement, that is paying taxes. Yet I believe that we should not accept the world's money or any other support from unbelievers since this will in most cases lead to shameful compromise. |

Faithful Remnant wrote: If these conservatives are following their convictions and confession (which upholds Christ, Scripture and Faith Alone), then they have sufficiently given up the doctrines of apostacy, even if they aren't following perfectly another man's interpretation of the Bible(i.e. the Pope's version of it or Mr. Rugh's version, Spurgeon's, etc..etc.), because if this conformity to another person's version is demanded, then man's thoughts are again superior to the Scriptures alone for each congregation or individual and we don't need to go there again. They have been freed from one pope and don't need another, whether in Rome or elsewhere. Very well said Faithful Remnant. I am sick of people being put on a pedestal and placed in a position of authority that belongs to God and God ALONE. Even spiritual giants like Luther, Spurgeon or others were fallible human beings saved by Grace Alone and were not above reproach. CHRIST ALONE is the ONLY Head of the Church and His Word is the ONLY Authority in all matters of faith and practice. |
