Casey was a freshman with me at Spring Arbor University in my Core group and we were canoe buddies! It was so much fun, but more than that, it was so cool to experience God the ways I did right before Jesus saved me. He's an awesome person and the Lord has greatly worked through him!! Proud of you, brother!!
The prophets is not “everything else” in the Old Testament. This is a dangerous presupposition. The Tanakh was separated into three parts: The Law (First 5 books of Moses), or Torah. The Prophets (Joshua, Judges, Kings, Samuel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and the Minor Prophets), or Nev’iim. And finally, the Ketuvim (or Writings). The Ketuvim contained books such as Daniel (yes, such a prophetic book was placed here), Ruth, Esther, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, and more. It is an extraordinary claim to say that the Prophets = the rest of the Hebrew Bible (or Old Testament in our case) along with the Torah.
lol this is amazing how the film portrays them rather negatively (accurately I suppose), and here they are in Christian World still burnishing their image hahaaaaaa. They're telling this story where they're the good guys. dude went to prison for 9 years and stole $9 - 11 million from ADM via kickbacks. (That said, there does seem to be a very dirty culture at ADM that played a part in enabling Whitacre. But he took it to a whole new level.)
Does homophobia have anything to do with homosexual tendencies? Apparently, the answer to this age-old question is an unabashed "yes." A past study, published by the American Psychological Association, was designed to investigate whether homophobic men show more sexual arousal to homosexual cues than non-homophobic men. The study recruited 64 heterosexual Caucasian males, ranging in age between 18 and 31 years old. All participants reported a history of having only been aroused in heterosexual situations. The participants answered a series of questions regarding anxiety and comfort levels when around gay men and then were split into two groups based on their scores. One group was labeled as homophobic and the other was labeled as not homophobic. Each participant watched three four-minute videos one of heterosexual sex, one of lesbian sex and one of gay male sex. During the videos, the men had devices attached to their penis to detect and measure sexual arousal. The results concluded that both homophobic and non-homophobic men displayed increased penis circumference when watching straight and lesbian porn. However, only the homophobic men showed heightened penis arousal during the gay male porn; the non-homophobic men remained flaccid. Not surprisingly though, it was the homophobic men who reported no feeling of sexual arousal by gay male porn during the screen. Obviously, their penises reported otherwise. Additionally, the study aimed to define homophobiaEcorrectly, which is often confused with homonegativism.EIt reported that homophobia is an emotional or affective response including fear, anxiety, anger, discomfort and aversion that an individual experiences in interacting with gay individuals, which may or may not involve a cognitive component.EHomonegativism is something completely different as a multidimensional construct that includes judgment regarding the morality of homosexuality, decisions concerning personal or social relationships, and any response concerning beliefs, preferences, legality, social desirability, or similar cognitive responses. So, for example, ego-dystonic homosexuality (which refers to the marked distress about one's sexual orientation) may be a kind of homonegativism but does not necessarily imply homophobia. Furthermore, psychoanalysts often describe homophobia as an anxiety or anticipatory anxiety elicited by homosexual individuals. This anxiety is believed to stem from the straightEindividual's fear of possibly being or becoming a homosexual. Psychoanalytic theories have long postulated that homophobia may be a result of repressed homosexual urges, or a form of latent homosexuality (homosexual arousal, which the individual is either unaware of or denies). The idea of repressed or latent homosexuality explains the emotional malaise and irrational attitudes displayed by some individuals who feel guilty about their erotic interests and struggle to deny and repress homosexual impulses.EPerhaps this may be an answer to why some of our straight friends often overreact with panic or anger when they come across a gay person or things that feel homosexual in nature. In today's world, there are plenty of celebrities, athletes and other public figures who have decided to come out of the closet as a homosexual. Take Gareth Thomas, the now retired rugby play who came out in 2009 after living as a straight man for over a decade, in the public eye. In a documentary titled, coming Out: My Secret Past, he shared some intimate and dark secrets of his past: he had my first sexual encounter with a guy when I was 17. I hated myself so much. I remember trying to scrub myself clean. This is when things got tough for me. I couldn't admit even to myself that I was gay. And I started to lie to my teammates about what I was up to when we weren't together. I had a lot of anger because I didn't like who I was when I stepped off the field. I used to relish the chance of being able to try and hurt somebody in a legal way. And in the laws of the game of rugby enable you to be able to do that. There have been games I've played when I've just felt uncontrollable. If I didn't have the rugby field to get rid of the aggression, I am sure that I would have been locked up a long time agoEAnd by hurting people and being aggressive, you could also be seen to be tough. And if you've known as a tough guy, it means that you're not gay. Thomas also admitted that he used to take part in the homophobic banter swirling in the locker room in an effort to come across as heterosexual. Whether examined from a scientific perspective or from real life examples, it is likely that homophobia has some correlation with homosexual tendencies, that a homophobe might actually be a closeted homosexual himself or herself. By being afraid to come out, the homophobe emerges as a strongly anti-gay person instead. The case of intolerance toward others may actually be a case of intolerance toward one's true self.
This man baptized me. He is the best preacher I've ever heard! God bless you all, and God bless you pastor Edwards! Thank you for being such an awesome man of the Word!
Praise God! She is so right on every level. She is definitely chosen to witness to homosexuals who need to come out of sexual bondage and Satanic delusion. Notice that she said it took several years to be transformed into righteousness. She's believable and is knowledgeable of the scriptures. JESUS is calling and knocking at the door of every homosexual. One thing about Romans 1:18-32 and Romans 2:1 is that the sinful, unnatural act of Sodomy (oral and anal sex) condemns the homosexual and heterosexual. It's a double sin for homosexuals, but a single sin for even married heterosexuals. The marriage bed can be defiled between heterosexuals doing the "same things" (Romans 2:1) as the homosexuals and lesbians described in Romans 1:18-32. Licking instead of "sticking" can't result in reproduction (i.e., being fruitful and multiplying). Heterosexuals need to repent and stop committing the unnatural act of Sodomy too. Unnatural oral and anal sex will send a husband and wife to Hell just as it will send homosexuals who commit it to Hell. GOD is no respecter of persons and HE will judge the just and the unjust. Don't go to your lewd, lascivious pastor, go to the scriptures I cited. Repent.
I have been crossdressing for over 20 years now and even thought about transitioning many times. I am 40 years old now. Then i realized that its an abomination to God. Not because God hates us for doing that. I looked at it the wrong way. He wants us to find joy in just being in the body we were born into and love ourselves for that and in return we will want to love him. The reason we fall over this is because we want to cling to something and be comforted but not of the world or sex? Its to have an intimate relationship with God is what we truly want but we just never figure it out. See because in the physical reality its such a deadly trap of satens plan for us. Im trying to say we become addicted to ourselves and worldly things. We get sucked into it after eating the whole apple that the Devil says its "OK" He probably even rejoices over us! He knows he got us and are completely lost in our own thoughts and lusts. At that point we cant even see truth anymore or love each other because in our mind we start to believe we were put in the wrong body and we start hating certain people maybe even our brothers and sisters in Christ. Read this referring to the last days Men will become lovers of pleasure meaning LGBTQ people ect. In Bible 2nd Timothy chapter 3.
Michael - Thank you for your comment. Your struggles are real and the fact you that you realized that its not only an abomination of God but you yourself is loved by the creator God as you were created in your biological body. We hear at WLMB will keep praying for you that your faith grows stronger and that God touches you to get rid of those thoughts or whatever sin is in your life currently. Godbless you!
When you are a Christian and feel contrary to your gender, ask yourself: does God make mistakes? God does not! He made you a girl or a boy / woman or man for a reason!
It so sad for me to know that some people might not want their children to hear this message while they allow them to be exposed to the devils messages everywhere they go and the devil doesn't dumb it down for them. Let's not only pray for the children let's pray that parents and caregivers eyes to be opened. Peace
A beautiful story, full of power and the affirming sweetness of the Jesus that I know. Thank you for presenting it for us. I'm reminded of how since the original people were in the Garden, the evil one, the Psychopath, has hated humans and women particularly. The degradation of children and women by pornography and pedophilia is his handiwork. Jesus loves, dignifies, honours and affirms us. His plan in choosing us for His own was to lavish His love and favour on us🥰
