And in this day and time most who did so in a place like Seattle would be broke as a joke, demonized, hated, homeless, friendless save for a few close confidants, and possibly even run the possibility of being put in prison for hate speech.


My church tries to sponsor some missionaries in areas like these to help them get by, and we send members on mission trips regularly. Cities like the ones you mentioned need more help than most areas of the world.

This is complete Bull shite BTW. All of it.

There are plenty of churches...thriving churches in Seattle.
You just do church different than most there do.

And that's okay.

Since she exists, and all, dads not really flaunting his 'sex life' is he?

Well, dads not married to her mom anymore. He chose alcohol and womanizing over keeping their family together

So why aren't womanizers ostracized like homosexuals? Makes no sense.

---

In churches? I don't know about the churches you attend, but in any church I've ever attended serial adulterers are ostracized. Now if you're talking about someone who committed "a sin" and has repented, then you are doing exactly what everyone else does. Forgiveness is available to that person, and each situation is different. We are all sinners. That does not mean we should make an effort to live in sin with no desire to change.

My statement does assume people in the church know what someone is doing, but that same caveat goes for gay people. If folks keep things to themselves so no one ever finds out, then, obviously, no one is going to try to help them or encourage them to repent. Oftentimes people label church-goers as hypocrites because they associate with folks they know do not lead a Christian life, and they assume everyone in the church has that same knowledge. Christians who attend church are held to an impossible standard in this regard.

God made some people gay. Some folks are going to have sex out of wedlock (and in many cases that's actually not a bad thing), etc. We're a little too didactic over some of these issues, IMO.

---

Even if you believe God makes some people gay, that does not change the fact that the Bible states homosexual activity is sinful. Trying to restrict yourself from sexual activity for 100 years is a small price to pay for eternity in Heaven. God made me straight, and I like looking pretty women, but that doesn't mean God made me a serial adulterer who should be addicted to porn. It's not even about never slipping up. It's about not giving into your sin completely and acting like there is no reason you should ever try to stop.

Sex out of wedlock is the same situation. I certainly was not a virgin when I married, but just because I sinned doesn't mean it wasn't sin.

is the reason I called it BS.

Surely you don't believe that.?

---

I said that, and I absolutely believe it. There are people in areas of our country who grow into adulthood without ever hearing the gospel of Christ. It's a travesty.

ETA: Mission fields in the U.S. are more difficult than many other areas where the government is not hostile to Christianity.

Either way, it breaks down the argument here that she's the one that chose to publicly disclose.

---

I have been looking, but I have been able to find no evidence that he has ever mentioned her on his show other than the quote you posted. Have you?

quote:

---

there is no sin short of out and out reaction of Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and savior that will keep you from His grace and love

---

That's nice and all, but technically not true. Homosexuality is clearly defined as an abomination (something that causes hatred, disgust in God)

quote:

---

If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them

---

And for one to even be capable of doing this, God has already turned them over to a reprobate mind (to foreordain to damnation, to refuse to accept)

quote:

---

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Once you go there, there is no coming back

Nope. All we have is her word. You should ask the people who are claiming that HE has never disclosed any of this publicly.....since they are the ones making claims without even as much as a statement from Rick.

You basically just said that she's talking about it publicly, but he still isn't...

This story was released today at 6:30 am. They had a show today. If he didn't mention this story on his show today, then I would say that goes a long way toward making those claims (that he doesn't talk about her sexuality on his show) look accurate.

Well, we're not just talking about his radio show breh.

We don't know that.
