    Default The Popes New Level Of Disgrace To Written Biblical Scripture...

    I can't believe this man. Does he really know what the Bible says? Why is he openly contradicting what GOD said? It's blasphemy, by any definition of the word. I'm not catholic, but this Pope is an absolute disgrace to Christianity, under any denomination. I'm starting to get the impression that this Pope is a homo himself.



    Pope's reported comment to a gay man may indicate a new level of acceptance of homosexuality

    Pope Francis has reportedly told a gay man that "God made you that way and loves you as you are," apparently pushing the pontiff's acceptance of homosexuality to a new level.

    he's not wrong. God made people the way people are. God's love knows no limits.

    God didn't 'make them gay', though, because God doens't control our choices.
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    Well, you're wrong too, because God says homosexuality is an abomination.

    You're both implying false witness against God's very own words written in the Bible.

    Homosexuality comes straight from Satan.

    Where does any temptation come from? Does God hate sinners at all times or just certain sinners?

    Where does grace come from?

    Which of God's children does the Bible tell us to hate?

    You're getting off topic.

    The words of "God":

    Leviticus 20:13 King James Version (KJV)
    13 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.

    Let’s not confuse two distinct things.

    Thing One- whether or not homosexuality is a sin according to the Bible.

    Thing Two- whether or not God (and we) have love and compassion for gays.

    According to both the OT and the NT, it is a sin. If you are a Bible-believing Christian, this Pope errs when he implies that God is fine with the behavior. And as the infallible leader of many millions of Christians, this is sad.

    Does not mean that the Pope or we should be less than compassionate. We all sin, so we all need to show love to others.

    Whether people are born gay, as this Pope implies, who knows? They won’t allow the research needed. And even if some are born that way, today we have all sorts of people experimenting with it, like trying a new pizza topping.
