Hi Aieno.....
Aineo: "If I had let others attitudes get to me I would still be a member of the gay community."
GM: Good point.
Aineo: "You don't have to convince me that churches and pastors need to change their attitudes. God's word contains our instructions"
Aineo quotes: Matthew 28:18-20
GM: I'm not trying to convince you of anything... I do in fact understand what you mean on this issue.
Aineo: "If people are going to hear the gospel it must be preached with gentleness and love not with judgmental rhetoric that denies "love your neighbor as yourself". There is an old adage that states; "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink". This is true of the gospel, you can lead people to God's truth but you can't make them accept it. As Paul writes:"
Aineo quotes - 1 Corinthians 3:1-9).
GM: Yes, I do understand..... another old saying.... you can put veggies in front of a child, but you can't force them to eat it.
Aineo: "By hammering on the sin in a person's life you push that person away since only the Holy Spirit can convict and only God can supply the ability to repent."
Aineo Quotes: Romans 2:1-8
GM: I agree.
GM: Aineo, someone sent me a e-mail a while back, they said that Christians were put in Jail for witnessing...... now it was good that they were witnessing.... But I pray they were doing it Gently. even though The Gay Communities have MORE Rights now a dayz then Christian Communities do. his is fact. But Showing Jesus Gently, nicely, and lovingly is the key.
Chat laterz , Ok? .... I gotta popcorn...
God Bless.
