Actuallly ,i cant stand him,but its cool if you do. Im just more into the heavy side of music,thats all...

First off, I'd like to say hi cause I'm new to this board. This seems like a cool board with less junk on it than some of the other creed forums I've seen.
IMHO and beleifs, being gay is no different than stealing a candybar or lying to your parents as you were growing up. Sin is Sin, God makes that clear. Will sinners be allowed into heaven? Yes. Romans 8:20 says that All men have sinned and come short of the Glory of God. So first off you need to believe that your are sinner and give it to God. My pastor once said the pre-requesite to entering heaven is sinning, because if you cant admit that you've sinned then you have a problem. Belieiving that Christ is really who he said he is isnt enough either, the bible also says that even the Devil and his demons believe and tremble. You have to accept what Christ has done for you and walk in Him. Being baptized doesn't get you into heaven nor going to church or doing "good" things. God says that Salvation isnt by works lest any man should boast. You need to believe in the death, burial and ressurection by faith. Kinda like milk, you dont need to understand why brown cows can eat green grass and produce white milk. You just have to accept it. So jus accept what Christ has done. I'm not gay, but I am a sinner, saved by grace, not by the few things I do right. My sins have been payed for by Christ's death on the cross. It's through Him that I have eternal life, not by me.

What a beautifully divine response. Why, you must live a CREEDFUL life of peace and love, unlike those judgemental types that tout words litterally. (** let's pretend this eye is blinking and it;s little a@@ is shaking while singing "'naughty, naughty, why is it so hard to just give love to all??!")**

MrSeeker, would you care to expound on how Christianity is not a religion? Catholicism is merely a denomination (sect, division, etc.) of Christianity. Protestantism grew out of Catholicism, and there are many Protestant denominations (Lutheran, Baptist, Presbyterian, United Church of Christ, etc.). Christianity IS a religion by virtue of the fact that all Christians (whether denominationally Catholic, Lutheran, Baptist, Presbyterian, UCoC, or whatever else) believe in Christ as their one true savior and in God (whether he's triune or the godhead, this issue is another denominational issue).

[RMadd]

And what you say, Prs4Me, is very true. I agree.

[SmilinSkullRing]

Gays should go to heaven if they led a good, giving life. Being a caring person and helping your fellow man sure counts for something.

I hated watching parishes support their priest after finding out that he molested children and then of course turn right around and damn gays. There are way too many hypocrites in religion.

[creedsister]

Gays if they truly call upon ...with all there heart and soul mind...the way my master asked of theme to do they have right to the kingdome of god...because by the blood of his cross he made way...for that which was lost...he set an example in the old...testimeant...by destroying a city...didnt work ...wouldnt you say...only by death and through the love of christ and by his blood..could the world be set free of sin i dont care who or what you are the price was paid...is christian socitey and ways of tradition ...has forgot thy first love yes...Take heed and beware of the leaven of the pharises and the leaven of herod......he came not to break the law of moses only the it would be furfilled...Today he will not break his laws mans done for him....it about to be closeing time.....PEACE....jesus is lord and loves us all
