Nicolasa Henke: Homosexuality is a sin. (Romans 1:24-27)Fornicators (people who indulge in unlawful sexual intercourse outside of marriage), will not inherit the kingdom of God (1 Cor. 6:9,10). ~ That is, of course, unless they repent, like I did.The sexually immoral shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone." (Rev. 21:7,8) ~ So if you stay bound up with being sexually immoral, then you will be right there with the murderers who will burn in the lake of fire, unless you repent.Jesus said, "fornications (The Greek word is porneia and it means illicit sexual intercourse, homosexuality, lesbianism, intercourse with animals, intercourse with close relatives)... These are the things which defile a man." (Matthew 15:19,20) He who sins is of the devil (1 John 3:8). ~ That is talking about habitually sinful conduct, because that chapter is talking about what one practices. If you slip up and stumble, He will forgive you if you confess to Him and ask fo! r forgiveness, because He is faithful and just to forgive you (1 John 1:9). But in order to rightfully claim 1 John 1:9, you must be doing the conditions found in 1:6,7. You must not be walking in darkness (practicing sin). You must be walking in the light. You can't be bound up in sin, and then just confess those sins you are a slave to, and get forgiveness. It does not work that way.
Javier Holsonback: take a critical thinking course it exposes that stuff for what it really is. educated guesses.
Foster Padgette: I think that this should be directed to a priest, if at all possible. Or, for a variety of very orthodox and (for the most part) very educated opinions, pls try posting this at the forums of www.catholic.comIs there any way to get the marriage blessed by the Church? I can see the issue where you know you are in a state of sin, so how can you reconcile with God if you plan on remaining in the state of sin. No easy answers, but if you could give a few! more details......Show more
Anibal Katayama: Greetings,! How are you? You are going for confession to repent for your sins and ask forgiveness. After telling your sins to the priest,tell him all that you are lacking behind whatever it might be. He will advice you.Read the Bible.And love with all your heart. Pray to God always.Ask God to Ignore all temptations,that are going on in your mind.God Bless you....Show more
Freeman Rutkin: there are children starving in africa and in other parts around the world, lets be good christians and start by saving those. Why support war? Why invade countries while putting millions of people at risk of being killed, creating orphans, causing people severe trauma & heartache yet you still think that same sex marriage is a threat to society?Where is the love? What does the bible say about the war in Somalia? and What is a good christians to do when faced with two situation whereby a thousands of children die suffering from severe malnutrion and where two homos decide to tie the knot as gestur! e of celebrating their love to each other?
Theresia Fashaw: Yes, you should be going to confession.Your repentance is clearly genuine because you are working to correct your situation in a manner that keeps you accountable to the Church. For your spiritual health you need absolution, regardless of whether you are able to receive the Eucharist at this time.
Tyler Burkman: Moving out would be impossible as my wife and I have 2 babies together. She needs my help. We are making arrangement with our parish to have our marriage convalidated, there is alot involved and it takes some time.
Mohamed Szollosi: there is no "fear" of homosexuals....just a nuisance of them demanding rights that they are not entitled too....its like a plumber demanding the right to have an electrical license....just because he wants it...but hasn't earned it....or really has no idea how to be an electrician....that's the tragic plea of the gays....that they have the right to be married.! ..but they haven't earned it and the certainly have no idea what marria! ge is...if they think they can be married and of the same sex...really...
Melina Minneweather: GOD KNOWS THE HEARTDOESNT SOUND LIKE YOUR HEART IS IN THE RIGHTSHOULD WE CONTINUE TO SIN, GOD FORBID
Jonathan Schlussel: You seem misunderstood. Homosexuals are a perversion and against Gods will. We do not fear them , we wish to help them avoid an eternity of damnation. If they do not turn they will burn, simple as that. I fail to see how attempting to help these people is something for you to make fun of.
Jorge Gerrero: Bravo Stevo! Well said. (Even if you did misspell throw). People don't realize that we work for God and not the other way around. God is not a genie and He doesn't grant wishes. If He deems to grant you favor be grateful but don't whine when the bad things happen to you. Remember kids, Satan already has his claws in the brain dead atheists but he needs to tempt the God fearing among us to get us to follow his evil ways. Also, when you do ! succumb to temptation God will grant forgiveness and bring you back to the fold if you just pray and ask Him to do so. God bless all Yahoo! answers this holiday season....Show more
Cierra Gadbaw: You know, you really shouldn't have bothered trying to ask this, rather than deal with the points you raise, they only ever try to justify their intolerant beliefs.Typically Voice in the Wilderness cannot see how totally hypocritical the statement made was, they want laws to 'protect' their religion, but cannot see that the same should apply to others, as for the other person with the stupid nonsense about plumbers and electricians, that makes no sense what so ever.Most of what they 'think' has been indoctrinated into them by others that have no knowledge or understanding of the thing that people call the 'human condition' and as such most of these 'fundies' are happy to cry out when they think that their god is being attacked, but don't see the damage they do when they atta! ck others.Edit, Loving the thumbs down, just goes to show you cannot ch! allenge what I have said, or you would contribute rather than just use the thumbs.
Francisco Schonhardt: Confession is good for the Soul.
James Langmyer: i think of you will desire to artwork on the inspiration that the Bible is a figurative artwork.. to no longer be taken actually. you will have issues of church homes that take the Bible's words actually--be conscious for be conscious. i think of maximum sane human beings can examine the Bible and comprehend what's literal and what's metaphor. heavily, do you relatively think of Jesus could want you to cut back off your left hand? Come on. that is a metaphor. There are stupid bible thumpers that could easily could easily chop it off. I additionally think of the Bible on entire is a respectable instruction manual for existence, yet i recognize it replaced into infused with the abnormal out-dated notions of the time. with the aid of definition guy is imperfect, subsequently any artwork created with the aid of guy! (such with the aid of fact the Bible) would be a less than perfect representation of God's desires. you will would desire to decide on if God particularly meant homosexuality to be a sin or no longer. i think it replaced into the prejudice of imperfect adult men that placed it interior the Bible. Steven S: i think of you're lacking the element. Marital intercourse is the style of purity. comparable-intercourse marital relation isn't even authorised interior the style of purity, subsequently you're no longer even given of challenge to be triumphant. You promptly fail the try. while, heterosexual christians are given of challenge to be triumphant, besides the undeniable fact that they frequently fail.
Samara Siewers: If I go to confession with genuine contrition and repentance but afterwards still cannot recieve the eucharist because of cohabitation (civil marriage) should I be going to confession in the first place. Please no Catholic bashing or protestant theological! arguments. This question is really for other Catholics.
Arnoldo ! Budzynski: amen to that
Mikel Bethay: Frog E is wrongThe reason I don't read them is because I don't really like them.God Bless...Show more
Flor Lizardi: No way thats a form of withch craft. For i will my trust in the Lord not a horoscope. Do you belive in the son of God He loves you. Read the word.
Patrica Loertscher: Would it be okay to try and do confession at a different church?
Jeannetta Gaffigan: Well Chris, this is a sticky one. If I interpret our laws correctly the only marriages the RC church recognizes are the ones recognized in a CHURCH, before God.If you were married in a civil ceremony, the church doesn't accept your marriage at all.Bottom line I don't see why you can't receive confession or communion.
Stephnie Patout: Yes, you should still go to confession. It's good that you are taking the matter seriously and refraining from receiving the Eucharist until your marriage is validated. But in the meantime Confession is a wonderful s! ource of sanctifying grace which you shouldn't neglect. It would be different if you were going to Confession with no intention of remedying your situation. But since you are taking definite steps in that direction, make use of Confession as a source of spiritual strength. Besides, there may be other sins you would need to confess....Show more
Flor Lizardi: I think all Christians should believe in astrology. Great job Jez! You're consistently delusional.
Lauri Ohl: Kent S that was cute. haha.
Mozell Sponsler: Christians know that reading/believing horoscopes is a sin.
Alonso Crehan: We have no fear of homosexuals. We are not the ones obsessed with homosexuality. We are not the ones that can't get over it. We do not intrude into other people's bedrooms. We do not use laws directed at another group to justify our sins. We do not ignore the fact that Jesus did not come to do away with the law. And, we do not lie about what others believe. That is! from the gay activist playbook.On the other hand, we do not allow our ! laws to be changed without our consent. We do not give up our religious freedom just because it happens to be inconvenient to a minority group trying to bully the majority into doing its bidding through fatigue.
Bruno Galasso: Nice try at flipping a sin to a fear factor but not this time. Christians do not fear homosexuality they just have a hard time trying to understand why Obama and some black religious leaders think that homosexuality is OK when in many places in the Bible it says that it is a sin. The frustration is that these leaders are putting race before God which to me makes the a Hippocrates.
Long Woltjer: I know of no Christian who is afraid of homosexuals.We simply do NOT want, need or expect to change laws to accomodate them.Personally, I think the term "homophobia" is a make-beleive term fabricated by homosexuals in an attempt to redefine the arguments AGAINST homosexuals. It is a smokescreen, and you are a troll.I smell troll.The Voice...Show mo! re
Oren Eskelsen: I agree and I think its sad when something bad happens and people blame Jesus and stray away from him when they need him the most to help them get through the bad thing that happened
Christopher Calcano: I do. I don't live my life off of it, but it's interesting to see what the stars foretell...Peace to you.
Glynda Darrin: Oh, yes...astrology.says that all people born at one time of the year in all years are alike and will have the same experiences, and not only that all people born at the same other times of the year are incompatible or compatible with all other people of other times of the year.False faith.Completely opposed to putting your trust and faith in God....Show more
Alden Sabio: Because random people on the street do not know the many intricate details that go into reading individual charts. Horoscopes are for entertainment and are based on totally different things. If random people would want to learn Astrology they wou! ld understand it is way more complicated than you think
Luana Car! others: Merry Christmas and may God bless us all sinners.
Bernie Cerra: Do you think Atheist Fundies (Not talking about you) will ever get over theri fear of Christians (Theophobia) It is a Bit tiresome this Obsession with Christianity, why can't they get over their Thgeophobia?Why can't they Preach tolerance of intolerance any other way is Hypocrisy, Why can't you just get over it and mind your own Dang business and don't intrude into our lives and this nation as you are doing?You Take Teacher led prayer out of School and we are supposed to accept it.You want to take the Ten Commandments from all Public Buildings and we are supposed to accept it.You want to take "In God we Trust" from all Currency and we are supposed to accept it.You want to take Under God from the Pledge of allegiance and we are supposed to accept it.You Use Truancy Laws to force our Children to Go to Public Schools that Force Feed the Fabricated evidences of Evolution down our throats and we are su! pposed to accept it and Force us to pay taxes to this ILKI can Go on and On, This Nation was Founded on Christian Principles, You don't like it? Then Leave and move to Canada or something, Why don't you admit that it's all your Theophobia? Or are you just gon make up some idiotic lame A$$ excuse ?
Gaston Edgcomb: I'm sure Christians read horoscopes, after all, they are the most gullible people one could hope to avoid. They'll believe anything they're told.All hail to the Sky Fairy. Ooh, and Jupiter, in conjunction with Uranus.
Ira Porietis: Try the astro.com ones. I love to read those for fun. You have to put down your dob and time of birth too... http://www.astro.com/cgi/ade.cgi?lang=e&cid=&ract=...And oh, I'm not religious but I like this stuff for fun.
Charlotte Bryar: If you truly had contrition and repentance about the cohabitation, you would stop it. Going to confession is an important part of your faith (James 5:16) and I won't discourage it. Howe! ver, it seems a bit hypocritical to me that you continue performing the! act that requires confession after you confess.
Daria Verfaillie: it's a bit tiresome this obsession with homosexuality. why can't they get over their homophobia, so Paul and the dude that wrote Leviticus didn't like gay people...what if the didn't like lettuce, dose it mean that God doesn't like lattece? why can't you just get over it and be normal tolerant people who mind their own business and don't intrude to other peoples bed rooms? you don'y follow the majority of the laws in Leviticus any way, you'd be orthodox Jews is you would... Jesus said they are no longer relevant... you eat Pork do you...? why can't you just admit it's all your homophobia and it has nothing to do with God?...Show more
Patricia Bolduc: Nope, can't say I read it or even believe in it. And unlike FROG E, It's not a sin for a Christian to merely read it.
Salvatore Walls: I would convert to christianity just to get with you........ I mean yeah I read horoscopes too because I am a! christian already. hehehe your not buying this are you.Edit: Thanks I try lol
Lynn Mctier: You all heard the saying {"guns" don kill people. -People- kill "people". But I go on to say it this way. God don't kill people, people kill people. When a bad thing happens to 1 who believes like a close family member dies that person stops believing, gives up {his or her Faith} Now how sad is that, to through it all away, all you've worked for. Sure their will be barriers in the way but see my point is this we are the ones who cause accidents, yes even accidents. Yes I said accidents. We asre the ones who cause deaths, yes deaths, I said deaths. I hope I am speaking clear. See we are the ones who did it not G.O.D. {So therefore} Stop blaming God. Get it straight you'll. Jesus loves you or He wouldn't have died for you....Show more
Krystal Cordovano: Well, since the occassion for sin is with you everyday (I am speaking from a formalistic stand-point, and I don't really c! are to judge anyone here), then you will be committing the same 'sin' o! ver and over!My spouse and I were civilly married before we were married in church, and I just avoided the problem altogether by not going to confession, at least not for that 'sin'.I did go to confession just before the wedding. You say you are working on a church wedding; good luck, best wishes and congratulations....Show more
