re: Popular Christian Singer Lauren Daigle Not Sure If Homosexuality Is A Sin...

Where is it written that to sing Christian songs, the singer must be without sin, or must judge everyone else?

---

Where in this thread did you reach that conclusion?

How is this news?

He pulled that out of his low t behind.

Don't break these Christians hearts. They need to judge!

Christian here. Not judging anyone.

Homosexuality is not a sin. Having homosex is a sin. Alcoholism has no negative effects on your health as long as the alcoholic never takes a drink.

Upvote for good insight, Zach.

Religion in general is pretty jacked up when it comes to sex.

Here are some other nuggets from the Bible:

Things you can't do:

Planting more than one kind of seed in a field (Leviticus 19:19).

Wearing clothing woven of more than one kind of cloth (Leviticus 19:19).

Cutting the hair on the sides of your head or clipping of the edges of your beard (Leviticus 19:27).[23]

Touching the dead carcass of a pig (Deuteronomy 14:8).

Living in a city that failed to surrender to the Israelites (Deuteronomy 20:12-14).

Performing any work on the Sabbath (Exodus 20:10).

Eating fat (Leviticus 3:17).

Eating pork (Leviticus 11:7–8).

Waiting too long before consuming sacrifices (Leviticus 19:5–8).

Being one of the majority of women who don’t bleed when losing their virginity (Deuteronomy 22:20–21).

The list goes on, and on, and on.

This post shows a clear lack of understanding of the Bible and Christianity. The fact that all of those citations come from the Old Testament should tell you something.

quote:

---

No, I've never had any desire to have sexual relationships with anyone other than women. I've had an ongoing battle with pornography that started as a young teenager long before the sinnernet. Most non believers would consider my level of viewing pornography as typical male lustful behavior and completely normal. I'll go months and not look at any pornography and then I'll have a moment where the mind weakens and I do it. I can tell you the closer I walk with the Lord the desires to sin become much less prevalent, it's like Satan becomes less influential in my life. My weakness is definitely for the opposite sex and not acting on it with physical adulterous relationships has kept my marriage intact for 30 years

---

Porn is no good. I think of it very similarly to you. I believe it takes away from your relationship and can inevitably end it. It may not be physically cheating, but it is certainly cheating and a weakness to even the most committed.



to your faithfulness

quote:

Why do they have to fall? Do you think Christians today think like Jesus intended? As in it has not progressed??

---

If you've been saved and Jesus is the Lord of your life then you also invited the Holy Spirit into your being. Yes, I can tell you when I was saved at age 50 my whole being vibrated for a couple of minutes when I was accepting Christ and pledging to repent from my sins and to be born again with a renewed mind and spirit. I'm not going get into a complete testimony about my faith experience but I can tell you once you make the decision to invite the Lord into your life the Holy Spirit will convict you of the sins. Sins that you use to think nothing of, now the Holy Spirit reminds you that you have made a commitment to the Lord. We're called to sanctify ourselves and that's what I'm struggling with right now, trying to completely leave my past sin life behind.

Now, to answer your question about Christians living their lives as Christ intended, No! Not one person is capable of living their life as pure and righteous as Christ. We are taught to continually sanctify ourselves and to walk in the light, to be the best example of Christ's enduring love and to leave no doubt when another person encounters us that they know we are followers of Jesus Christ.
