Singer Carrie Underwood is making headlines after coming out in support of same-sex marriage. The country and pop singer, who was raised a Baptist, announced her support for gay nuptials during an interview with Britain’s The Independent. Underwood told the publication that she believes everyone deserves to love whomever he or she chooses, citing her faith as the basis for her reasoning.
“As a married person myself, I don’t know what it’s like to be told I can’t marry somebody I love, and want to marry,” the singer told the outlet. “I can’t imagine how that must feel. I definitely think we should all have the right to love, and love publicly, the people that we want to love.”
Underwood also told the publication that she and her husband, pro-hocker player Mike Fisher, attend a “gay-friendly” non-denominational church. The songstress went on to say that God wants Christians to love others
“It’s not about setting rules, or [saying], ‘Everyone has to be like me.’ No. We’re all different. That’s what makes us special. We have to love each other and get on with each other. It’s not up to me to judge anybody,” she added.
Already, Underwood has received the praise of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), a gay rights group. In a release addressing the singer’s comments, the organization applauded her, writing, “GLAAD commends Carrie Underwood for supporting marriage equality and rooting it in her faith.”

Jimmy LaSalvia, co-founder and executive director of GOProud, a group that represents gay conservatives and their allies, was highly appreciative of Underwood’s decision.
“You know, Carrie Underwood isn’t any different from anyone else in America. The more Americans think about how issues affect their gay friends and family the more they come to realize that supporting same-sex civil marriage is the right thing to do,” LaSalvia wrote in an email to the L.A. Times. “More and more people are coming to that conclusion — and that includes conservative Christians.”
However, some comments on the Taste of Country web site announcing Underwood’s endorsement show that some Christians are less-than-content with her stance. A number of those individuals posting comments on the article cited the Bible and railed against the notion that accepting gay marriage was the right and proper action for the singer to take.
In the end, time will only tell whether the decision helps — or hampers –Underwood’s ever-budding career.

Posted on June 12, 2012 at 1:43pmIndeed sad, that now, Miss Underwood (yeah, we know she’s married) in attempting to “package” herself, and not peave off the gay-record-buying-public is leaving her principles behind in favor of the quick-buck. Many have already commented on the Biblical references to homosexuality.
Yes, Carrie it IS your place to judge others. You will judge who teaches your children, you will judge whom you allow into your mansion at 3am reaking of alcohol and brandishing a weapon, you judge who goes on the road with you and sleeps in your bus, you WILL judge who dates your little daughter…. you WILL judge…In this decision you’ve made, you have ALREADY made a judgement. Just now it seems, you “say that” as a convenience. Seems that in this case, “Jesus Take the Wheel,” takes on a WHOLE NEW MEANING…. Indeed sad….

Posted on June 12, 2012 at 2:04pmYou will notice that the ignorant Underwood does not so much as quote a single Bible Verse to back up her “Faith”.
Carrie lacks faith, and has what we call humanist feel-goodism. Her beliefs are a byproduct of multicultural public schools, MTV, and lack of Bible reading and church attendance.
Being raised in a Baptist church no more makes you a Christian than swimming in the ocean makes you a fish.

Posted on June 12, 2012 at 2:04pmPerhap Ms. Underwood should rethink her psoition. To endorce something is to pass judgement and her judgement is in favor of gay marriage. To judge doesn’t meanto condemn by rather to voice your oppinion one way or the other. Ms underwood has shown that she would compremise her “Christian” beliefs to garner favor from the media and entertainment industries.

Posted on June 12, 2012 at 2:09pmSo by Underwood’s measure and her “gay friendly, non-denominational church”…a married woman and a married man both love each other, they’ve been involved in an affair for a long time and fell in love..but they’re married to other people…but they still should be allowed to express their love for each other openly and physically without anyone questioning them, because after all…“love” is what it’s all about right? But the bible makes it clear that both adultery and homosexuality are sins. This is why Underwood is an idiot.

Posted on June 12, 2012 at 2:23pmShe has fallen in to satan’s trap of wanting everyone to like her. Sorry Carrie – they never will. She rejects Jesus’ council to believers that people are not rejecting you, they are rejecting HIM. Her rational is based on her being self-centered. We need to pray for her to open her heart to the truth and embrace Jesus – regardless of the consequences.

Posted on June 12, 2012 at 2:25pmIt seems society is blurring the lines of Christian faith and sheer tolerance. Since Christian faith clearly outlines that homosexuality is wrong, there is nothing to debate if you claim the faith of Christianity. If you adopt the view of “it doesn’t affect me what others do with their lives”, then you are just tolerant and dismissive. I personally think both are right individually but you can’t have it both ways. If you are a Christian, then the bible is your reference to which homosexuality is not condoned in any way. Being an appeaser is by far the worst abuse of power when power is granted since you have no stance on anything (see liberals/Democrats/RINO’s). With that logic, we should have no laws of any kind since they will always conflict with someone’s lifestyle. Again, the line is blurred at best and almost doesn’t exist!!! I guess the next faith is that of all the convenient things of all religions that have no conviction or stern laws to obey and then you attend such services and get your participation ribbon and celebrate being special. Bluugggghhhh!!!!!

Posted on June 12, 2012 at 2:36pmIt’s very simple…Underwood’s “Christian” faith is founded in feelings and social dynamics rather than the texts..the actual word of God, his son and his disciples. It‘s an empty faith Underwood adheres to it’s not founded in the laws of God/G-d. It’s founded in feel good non-sense rather than the actual texts. It’s impossible to cite Christianity as an endorsement of homosexual marriage..it’s lunacy to do so…yet Underwood is offering just that lunacy.

Posted on June 12, 2012 at 2:37pmAs a Christian, I hate it when Christians hide behind the myth that we are not to judge. Yes we will be judged with the same measure you judge, we are to make right judgements every day. Judgements about right and wrong, sin vs not sinning. It’s a cop out by ill-informed people who can’t rightly divide the Word of God.

Posted on June 12, 2012 at 2:44pmIt‘s truly amusing to me that the Freudian id of American Christendom on here seems to be accusing Underwood of selling out or appeasing majority opinion in order to ’make a quick buck.‘ You people do realize that neanderthals such as yourselves make up an overwhelming majority of this country’s population, right? You realize that by taking this stance, she is exposing herself to the slings and arrows of christian idiocy? Obviously she is misguided in claiming that the bible supports same-sex marriage, you are all correct that the bronze age scrapbook is abundantly clear on this issue. However, none of you are justified in feigning victimhood when most of our population has frontal lobes that are too small and egos that are too big just as you do.

Posted on June 12, 2012 at 2:47pmIf you are a Christian you must believe that every word of the Bible is true and accurate. To agree on a subject that God classified as sin and say that it is okay now is to judge God and tell him he is wrong. God is right all the time. Choose who will you stand with God or sinful man. And for all you pro gay liberals before I became a Christian I hated homosexuals and lesbians they made me sick but after I became a Christian I tolerate without anger but the sin still makes me sick. I hate the sin and pray for the sinner.

Posted on June 12, 2012 at 3:12pmSNAKER, I’d like to ask her to explain how “endorsing” homosexual “marriage” is in alignment with her faith? I remember her as a little Christian girl who’d barely left the farm before Idol, and I understood she and her family to be devout Christians. Endorsing the gay marriage is WAAAAY different from “not judging.” Your pointing out what, yes, indeed, she WILL be judging is great, GREAT. But c’mon, believers know what “Judge not, lest ye be judged” means. “If you don’t know, you’d better get a grip on it.” That’s judgmental. Who am I to say you’d better do anything? I absolutely adore my friends who happen to be gay, but I do not condone their lifestyle. I don’t shun them either, or “judge” (in the biblical sense) their choices. Why? I’m a sinner too, First, I‘d have to take the plank out of my own eye and it’s wedged in pretty good. Still, I just really want to know…not just Carrie, but anyone else who calls themselves “Christian”…how do you invoke your traditional faith and reconcile endorsing what the Word of God has clearly defined as abhorrent? Is it possible, does anyone think, it sounds like “Christian-Lite?“ As if to say ”Yes, I’m very, very Christian, but I’m only going to take “this much” Christian, bu‘cuz I don’t really care for some of that other stuff.”
Contrary to popular belief, “God damn it” or “Oh my God” isn‘t taking the Lord’s name in vain. What Carrie just did…IS.

Sounds like she‘s saying it’s morally ok. I personally am against it however, I think it’s hypercritical of me to say we are a free country yet force others by law to not be able to do something. That is the churches job to spread and teach morality. We can’t legalize every moral issue. It’s up to everyone to make their own choices, right or wrong. The best we can do is to try and spread what is right and pray people make up their own mind and do what’s right.

Posted on June 12, 2012 at 3:36pmI still don’t understand the Evangelical/Protestant position on this. If all of our works are as filthy rags and nothing we do or don’t do has any affect on our salvation once we accept Jesus. Why do you insist that being gay is the unforgivable sin? Are any of you without sin? Why are YOUR personal sins not going to keep YOU from being “saved” but a gay persons sins are? Also, Carrie Underwoods church uses the Bible. Suppose 2 or more of them gathered in Jesus name and AGREED that gay marriage and homosexuality are acceptable to God. What then? They are believers, they have accepted Jesus Christ as their peersonal Lord and Savior and both sincerely agree that based on scripture alone God approves of gay marriage and homosexuality. What happens when using “Scripture Alone” different churches come to different conclusions regarding same issue? What makes you think that the 2 or more in YOUR church are right and the 2 or more other churches are wrong? Do the 2 or more in YOUR church cancel out the 2 or more in the Protestant church down the street? Do you believe that the Holy Spirit has revealed to YOU that YOU are right and the other church is deceived. But what went wrong? You both used the Bible Alone and gathered in Jesus name and came up with completely different conclusions. Also When 2 Tim 3:16 was written the NT wasn’t “scripture” so why do you accept the NT ?

Consider this: If the Bible is truly the Word of God and everything is as IT says, you are in deep, deep trouble the day your mortality ends. In fact, you will be in an eternal state of excruciating suffering and loss/separation. If the Promise of Christ is myth, as you claim, then those of us who believe the Bible and follow Christ will never know the difference. (Mind you, I believe not as an insurance policy against this but because GOD showed me, convicted me of the TRUTH through the Spirit and I accepted Christ for who He is and have come to find the Bible to be completely true. It has no error, contrary to your arguments based in pseudo-scientific fantasy.). However, for someone such as yourself, it should at least provide a reason to reconsider, particularly since GOD’s Word makes it clear there are no “Do Overs”. Looks to me like you and those believing as you do have much more to lose.

Obviously christians trip over themselves on a daily basis and expose the man-made nature of their faith, but when they revert to this wager as the last line of defense they prove it beyond any shred of doubt. Also, I wouldn’t be so quick to assume that you have nothing to lose if you are incorrect in your cosmology (and you are). Having been raised as a christian until I reached the age of reason around fifteen, I can assure you that life is something different altogether when you recognize that it will end, that it entails unfathomable mystery, and that morality still exists even when the threat of eternal torture is absent.

Good questions.
I don’t think anyone thinks that being gay is an unforgivable sin. When we accept Jesus and become saved we are a new creation, we must die to ourselves daily. Will we still mess up? Yes. Will messing up send us to hell? No. However, if we are truly saved we will want to do what God wants, meaning not engaging in behavior that he says we shouldn’t. Let me ask, if I said I was saved yet thought rape was ok and did it all the time would you think I was saved?? Probably not. If I say I’m saved yet live a lifestyle that God forbids then it’s very contradictory. It’s not the fact they sin, it’s the fact they embrace it and aren’t willing to change. In the Bible it talks about how “by their fruits you will know them” meaning if you’re a believer you should show those fruits, by your actions; your lifestyle. Works don’t get you to heaven, your faith does. However, faith without works is dead. Meaning if you have faith yet don’t follow God then chances are you probably aren’t saved.

Posted on June 12, 2012 at 3:59pmPeople can “agree” on something all they want. It doesn’t change what the Bible says. The Bible is very clear on this issue. Doing research and study on it will lead any reasonable person to the same thing, that being gay is wrong. Most the time the “issues” people don’t agree over, don’t even matter, they’re little things. The big issues that people argue over such as this, is because they either are doing the act themselves and want to make it ok so they say the Bible says it’s ok; or they get this whole “no matter what you do Jesus will not condemn you” attitude. Most of it lies on the fact they want to justify what they or their friends are doing. It’s not based on fact.
Yes, but God knew it would be put together to be called the Bible. That was the whole point and his purpose. He gave us his word to guide us.

Marriage is traditionally a religous activity and should be kept that way. Civil Unions is a government activity and should not infringe on the religous activity. Carrie basing her opinion on her experience of being raised Baptist, is not correct. I was raised Baptist in Texas and half of the things she does in her profession is not allowed.

Posted on June 12, 2012 at 8:06pmSo what you are saying is believing in Jesus Christ isn’t enough, in order for someone to be a true Christian not lacking in faith they’ve got to believe in Jesus Christ AND agree with YOU on gay marriage. I have seen some very strong arguments using scripture alone to make a case for gay marriage and the homosexual lifestyle not to mention other religions I don’t agree with any of them but somthe fact is some are very compelling. Luke 18:17 (KJV) says “Truly I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein” I could use that verse to say you cannot enter the Kingdom of God unless you are Baptized as a child. I mean it says it right there in black and white unless you receive it as a child you cannot enter it. Based on scripture alone who can say that I am wrong? So lets be real here, what you are really saying is you‘ve read the Bible and anyone who disagrees with YOUR infallible interpretation of scripture lacks faith and isn’t really a Christian. Essentially YOU and everyone who agrees with you are the TRUE Christians enlightened by the Holy Spirit and anyone who disagrees with you or has a different interpretation simply lacks faith and is not led by the Holy Spirit. But Iif you are honest with yourself the reason you believe in Sola Scriptura is that it makes YOU The final authority on what is true and what is not, what is sin and what is not and who is a TRUE Christian and who is not….

“Ranger Dan is an outright bigot, who can not stand to watch the “race mix” as he puts it (damn MTV showing kinds of different backgrounds working together and getting along, there must be walls between the cultures and races).”
This is lie, and you know it is. Those words came from you.
Here is what I have said in the past, and you cannot refute the facts of what I say.
I do not know of any reason Biblically, or any other reason why “race mixing” is bad. I do not only have friends of mixed race, some of my best friends are mix race marriages.
Here is what I do believe to be fact. MTV did promote mixing of races, but they had a reason and a goal. This is not only evident in the videos, but also in their shows. MTV was not promoting for Mexican girls to go find a college educated Asian man, and get married. MTV purposely glamorized young white girls in having unmarried sex with uneducated thug black men. The nappier the braids, the baggier the pants, and the more thug and ghetto he looked, the more MTV wanted young white girls to be with him.
The reason is simple. MTV, just like dems wants to destroy the American family; they want more people on welfare, and more dem voters.
Explain this. If seven in ten black babies are born in single parent homes, and if currently many black men have a reputation of not raising their own babies, why would young white girls want to lay up with these men? They were indoctrinated to do it,.

How is one persons Rape any different than your looking at a woman lustfully, just because you didn’t Rape her you still lusted for her in your heart so according to the rule of all sin being the same you might as well have raped her. 1 John 5:16 says that there is sin unto death and sin not unto death. I have tried to understand the pillars of Protestantism but it’s like pulling a thread in a fabric, pull one and the entire fabric becomes distorted. My question was simple, why is a gay person getting married proof that he is not “saved” whereas your looking at a woman lustfully is not?

I do not believe Biblically that mixing races is necessarily a sin. I think you will find in the bible where Israel ran into problems when they mixed with the heathen around them,
Let me be specific as to what I meant by MTV promoting “mixing of the races”. MTV was not looking to have hispanics marry asians. If you watch MTV (especially their reality shows) they without a doubt have pushed in the direction of having young white girls lay up with thugish black dudes. there is a reason for them wanting this behavior. It promotes more welfare, thus promoting more on the system, thus promoting more to vote democrat. remember, MTV got started almost thirty years ago . They had a plan then, and it is working. When I walk through the Walmart in Phenix City, Alabama and see countless young white girls with no ring on their finger, and pusing around the offspring of Tyrone, MTV got what they wanted.

Posted on June 12, 2012 at 11:13pm@LOCKED – You have a very valid point. For one there is only one true KING and His name is NOT JAMES it is JESUS CHRIST. Secondly When the King James Bible was written the 2 primary concerns were that it must not conflict with the teachings of the Church of England and that it must emphasize the Kings English. If you search the KJV for the word DISOBEY or DISOBEDIENCE you will see that many times the KJV translates the Greek word using the PASSIVE (unbelief, unbeliever) for disobey and disobedient. There is a significant difference between unbelief and disobedience. Also in John 3:16 the original Greek is “so that whoever believes in Him MIGHT not perish but MIGHT have eternal life” KJV conveniently leaves out the word “MIGHT” Also the ORIGINAL 1611 version of the KJV had 7 books (Apochrypha) that were later removed. Why were they removed? Because they conflicted with the teachings of the Church of England. I encourage all Protestants to do their research, study Martin Luther, John Calvin and Queen James.

I answered your question already. I never said I determine what the big issues are. An example of a little issues is this: should one worship with old hymns or more contemporary music? There’s no right or wrong answer. Whatever your preference is. AS long as your heart is right when worshiping. People seem to argue over stupid, petty things like this. The reason I say the whole gay thing is a big issue, is because it’s very clear it’s wrong in the Bible, so when “Christians” come out and say it’s not wrong, that creates a big issues. Same as if they came out and said it was ok to murder, or lie.
I never said any sin was worse than another. I think you didn’t understand my example. It’s not the fact of “getting married” which biblically speaking only one man and woman can be considered married in the eyes of God. It’s the fact that a gay person is EMBRACING their sin, and saying “it’s ok, I don’t need to change.” Thus, when I said if I went around raping (or always lusting) and said “it’s cool, it’s not wrong, God still loves me” then you couldn’t say that said person was saved.
Any sin can be forgiven. However, you must ask for it to be forgiven and then do your best to live a life that God wants. There’s no point in asking for forgiveness then turning around and saying “I’m all good, I can now go back to doing whatever I want.” Faith and works go hand-in-hand. You gotta have both.

No, I’m not saying that.
When someone is truly saved they will want to do the things God wants. So if someone is embracing sin, then how can they say they are saved? You are saved by faith alone. Yet, faith without works is dead. Meaning, if you say you’re an apple tree but grow bananas, then are you really an apple tree like you claim?
Solomon tells us we will be judged for every bad and good thing. If someone is truly saved they will go to heaven, no matter what they do (keep in mind this does not mean we CAN/SHOULD do what we want). If someone is not saved they will not go to heaven no matter how much good they do. However, God will judge the good stuff Christians do and give us more rewards based on that. I never said being gay is a worse sin; all sin is wrong in God’s eyes.
The main point I’m trying to help you understand is between someone embracing their sin and LIVING in it, and between the fact that Christians will still mess up because we are not perfect either (i.e. not living in it).

The reason it’s a “little issue” is because it’s not stated if that is right or wrong in the Bible. Plus just using common sense. Remember, I said that it IS stated if being gay is wrong. So when person A comes out and says it’s not, that is a big issue because it’s going against the Bible…does that make sense? Any true Christian would view another ‘Christian’ saying something is right when GOD says I’s wrong as a serious thing. I mean don’t you think that’s serious when someone says God is wrong?
God decides. It’s all there in the Bible. God gave us our mission and what/how we should be telling others about Christ. He also told us how to become saved. So when you look at how to worship in the grand picture, yes it is petty.
There are no contradictions. This is a very common issue a lot of people don’t understand. Sorry, I did not see that.
James 2:24: Same chapter that says faith without works is dead. “For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also” This isn’t saying that due to works you will go to heaven.
Faith is what you have, your works is how you express it. That’s why they go hand –in-hand. If you told your wife you loved every day, yet never showed her that you did, do you think that you really love her? This is what James is meaning when he talks about faith and works going together.

James 2:14-27 is saying the same thing. “shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.” This relates exactly to the example I gave.
Rom 2:13: Simply stating that you can’t just know the right thing, but you must do it also. Is it any good to know how to feed the poor, yet not do it?
Matt 7:21: This is talking about those who are not true believers. Simply doing something good or for God doesn’t make you saved. It’s doing the opposite—putting works before faith. In this case the people only have works. Like the Pharisees. They went around praying and “doing God’s will” yet Jesus called them white washed tombs. Pretty on the outside (doing good works) yet dead on the inside (no faith).
Eph 5:3-12: These verses are talking about not sinning and living the way God wants. Being righteous. Because someone who is truly after God will not partake in these things. They will not live in sin.
Living as a Christian is a daily battle. You must always be dieing to yourself every day. There is a constant war going on within you.

Marriage is DIRECTLY tied to God and Biblical teaching NOT government law, personal choices, or how you get write-offs on your taxes and health insurance premiums. The government at the national level should not be INVOLVED in any way with marriage, even with tax credits or exemptions, which saying would seriously HURT my tax profile but neither should there be a penalty for being married as the tax code would have if the “Married, filing jointly” box was removed.

False. Almost all cultures, even non-Christian and even non-religious ones, have marriage. As far as the US government is concerned, marriage is a secular affair; those who don’t believe in the Bible or God are allowed to marry, the same as Christians.
Now, you have a point in debating whether or not it -should- be like that (which you discussed after). But it’s provably false to say marriage is not tied to government law.

That drifting is not loosing any of the above because one is is instilled in you it cannot be removed. Underwood the bible states man shall not sleep with man, where have you been and what teachings have you bible teachings have you had that would place your beliefs in gay marriages. Dont use a baptist upbringing to justify you own personal choice as believing in gay marriages, that is your choice and it has nothing to do with god, because if god was really involved your statment of believe would not be taking place.

Posted on June 13, 2012 at 4:08pmWell, the reason people are saying these things are because she’s saying something that is clearly wrong. I don’t think just because of this she is not a true Christian, I just think she is misguided. None of those contradict anything. I tried my best to explain how they work together by giving you the example of someone telling their wife they love her, yet not showing it. How our works are an expression of our true faith.
It might be something that will click later on. Just chew on it and maybe you will be able to understand. I know that usually works for me.
Heb 13:17: not sure how this contradicts scripture alone? God tells us to obey those in authority, unless they go against God. I don’t understand your point with the rest of these verses? There’s nothing contradictory or wrong about them. Why do you think simply because churches have a time for people to come up and let the pastor know they’ve accepted Jesus needs to be found in scripture? There are many things that aren’t blunt or laid out for us, but there are many principles that we look at and apply. Why would that be wrong? If God said it is a sin to have an alter call, then you would have a point. But he never says that. There are many things God doesn’t come out and say is sin/wrong, yet we know either by principle or inherently they are wrong.
I don’t think she should be “convicted” by us, but there’s nothing wrong with pointing out she’s got this all backwa

You wrote “another ‘Christian’ saying something is right when GOD says I’s wrong as a serious thing” Yes exactly, like saying we are saved by faith alone and saying all sin is the same in Gods eyes, you pretty much made my point for me. You also wrote “So when you look at how to worship in the grand picture, yes it is petty” By what authority do you tell Almighty God that how we worship Him is petty? You wrote about James 2:24 “This isn’t saying that due to works you will go to heaven.” That’s not the question, the question was and still is, ARE WE SAVED BY FAITH ALONE? God tells us in James 2:24 we are NOT “You see that a person is justified by what he does and NOT BY FAITH ALONE” On Heb 13:17 you wrote “not sure how this contradicts scripture alone” Scripture Alone teaches that Scripture is the ONLY authority for all Christians not any man and not any church but Heb 13:17 tells us our spiritual leaders have AUTHORITY over us and we should OBEY and SUBMIT to them and 2 Tim 3:15 says the CHURCH (not scripture alone) is the PILLAR and BULWARK of TRUTH.

You said “If God said it is a sin to have an alter call, then you would have a point“ and ”There are many things God doesn’t come out and say are wrong yet we know either by principle or inherently they are wrong” wow, has it sunk in yet? If not read it again slowly. Are you familiar with the term “subjectivism”? Your 2 statements literally contradict themselves. You’ve just made a self defeating prophecy. According to your reasoning, if God doesn‘t say something is wrong it’s not wrong and if God doesn‘t say something is wrong but YOU inherently know that it’s wrong it’s wrong. And according to you there are “many” things that are wrong that God hasn’t told us are wrong. I’m not even sure where to start with this but to keep it simple. If there are many things that are wrong that God hasn’t told us are wrong then Sola Scriptura is out the window. Also by saying that you just “inherently” know when something is wrong even when God hasn‘t said it’s wrong you are saying that YOU (not scripture) infallibly determine what is objectively right or wrong. Without realizing it you have dismantled Sola Scriptura and proven that you don’t actually adhere to it. I’ll ask again , are we saved by faith alone ? (James 2:24 says we are not, or do you “inherently” know otherwise?)

Posted on June 13, 2012 at 8:53pmThat was not a contradiction. What principle says alter calls are wrong? Hold up a sec. I never said if God doesn’t say something is wrong it’s not wrong. God never says smoking is wrong, yet by principle I know it is, why? Because he says are bodies are the temple of God and should be taken care of.
No, that’s not what I’m talking about. In Rom it tells us God has written what is right and wrong on our hearts. That’s what I’m talking about. Most people call it conscience.
Why is it out the window? Sola scriptura is based off of what the Bible says…and some principle.
“Also by saying that you just “inherently” know when something is wrong even when God hasn‘t said it’s wrong you are saying that YOU (not scripture) infallibly determine what is objectively right or wrong.”
See above when I mentioned Romans.
Yes, we are saved by faith alone. However, our works confirm our salvation (notice it says justified). Works do not get us saved. Our faith does. But our works testify to our faith. That’s why I try to keep getting across they go together. There are no verses saying we are saved by our works, but that they go along with scripture. I’m starting to wonder if you’re honestly wondering about this, or already have your mind made up and are trying to look for something that’s not there. You keep picking out that one part of James, but you need to read the whole thing to understand it.

Posted on June 13, 2012 at 9:14pmAll will keep you out of heaven. Simply stating a verse where Jesus uses the term talking about Judas trying to point out that all sin is not the same does not work. Why? Because Jesus is not meaning that that one sin will keep you out of heaven more than another, he’s talking about the seriousness of the act that was done. In the Bible it talks about if God gives you greater power and responsibility the more you will be held accountable. If God allowed me to become a billionaire, yet I never once helped the poor or gave to the church, I will be held to a higher standard than someone who lived poor there whole life.
I just told you. IN the grand picture of things it is. I am allowed to use common sense here. God tells us to worship him with a true heart. Meaning not lip service. No where does it claim I must raise my hands to worship, or sit silently in my chair. Arguing over if that is right or wrong IS petty, compared to Spreading God’s word.
Read James again..all of it carefully. It says no such thing.
God established the Church so Christians can have a place to come together to worship and grow stronger in our faith. The main purpose was to have an organized place where we could learn better how to spread his word. As long as the Church is going by God’s word, then yes, God gave them the authority. That’s why you must check to make sure your pastor is teaching Biblical teachings. So there aren’t any problems with those verses.

I’ve only watched MTV once in my life, so I couldn’t really comment if that’s true or not. I do live in a small country town in the south and do see a lot of what he’s talking about. I think it’s mostly due to the fact that so many girls these days are just sluts, cuz they’ve had daddy issues or whatever. But, to be fair, I’ve also seen white guys pushing around kids with a black woman.
As we move away from the whole “civil rights generation” you will see more and more people going outside their ethnicity. Which is perfectly fine. As a white guy who dates black girls, I see it more and more. Could he be racist? Yeah. But the point is, I don’t think it’s reasonable to call him a racist simply based off of holding a position of MTV promoting a certain agenda.

“There are several things in the Bible that are hard to understand, some we might get, and others we just have to take on faith”
Sola Scriptura teaches that all scripture is perspicuous (easy to understand and self interpreting for the true believer) a natural response to this teaching is to insist that our personal interpretation is correct (otherwise our faith is called into question) When the Eunuch was on the road to Jerusalem Phillip asked him what he was reading. The Eunuch told Phillip he was reading Isaiah and Phillip asked him if he understood what he was reading? The Eunuch replied “how can I unless someone explains it to me” This was a foreshadowing of the Liturgy of the Word. When Jesus met the Disciples on the Road to Emmaus they did not recognize Him and He explained to them everything that was said about Him in the scriptures. This was a foreshadow of the Liturgy of the Word. Later when they were at table and Jesus broke the bread they suddenly recognized Him and Jesus disappeared from their sight. This is a foreshadow of the Liturgy of the Eucharist. Read St Ignatius writings and you will be blown away. God is truly amazing. Peace in Christ.

Of course the bible was written by men but all scripture is inspired by God. 2 TIM 3:16 “all scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in rightousness so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
Marriage was institued by God not governements. Government institued marriage from God which is why we have the law of the land say (today) that marriage is between one man and one woman.
I think the issue is “man” in general doesn;t like to be told what to do or how to live and we then come up with ratinalized intelligence to claim why it should be so.. we are accountable to one God and he declared what is right and what is wrong.. marriage is between one man/one woman because God said so not because we believe “consenting” adults have the (right) to do what we want.

Malakos literally means “soft” and is used that way elsewhere in the Bible.
Arsenokoitos is a compound word made up of two parts: “arsen” means “man”; “koitai” means “beds.“ It could be literally translated as ”male beds“ or ”man bedders”. It’s definition CANNOT be obtained by the Bible, for it’s only use (in Corithians and Timothy) are in a list of words with NO context. This word is NOT found in ANY Greek literature (outside the Bible writings) until the second century (200 hundred years later) where it apparently means, contextually, “pederest”, a corruptor of boys. This is the definitaion Martin Luther used when translating the Bible into German, and were we get “pedophile” today. Arsenokoitos is not found again in Greek literature until the sixth century (another 400 years) where it is used to describe husbands practicing anal intercourse with their wives. Neither of these definitions refer to homosexuals… in fact, they are tied to heterosexual men in both instances.

So, even if you believe “arsenokoitos” should be “sodomoite”, then that still does not condmen homosexuals et al… some homosexual acts (acts that even some heterosexual enjoy), but not homosexuality. BTW — Martin Luther, German priest and Biblical scholar, would disagree with you. He translated the word into what we would call a “pedophile” today… and even that isn’t tied strictly to all homosexuals (especially when 90% of child molestations are done by heterosexuals).

Homosexuality does indeed exist. Some are inclined to like the same sex, some are perverts. I am neither interested in getting into a debate about it’s origins, nor whether the fact that it exists in the animal kingdom is proof of nature’s approval.
Every society has rules governing behavior. These rules have often times been tested and passed down through the generations to ensure a functioning society.
Homosexuality is an abomination to Christians. The fact that the Christian God disapproves of homosexuality is in play here, as Miss Underwood (or is it Mrs Fisher?) uses her Christian faith to justify her stance.
Homosexuals are not to be hated, they are to be loved in the same way as anyone other sinner.
Sometimes we see punishment – keeping people in line to ensure the proper functioning of society – as hating them. That is nonsense. There are rules. They must be kept. Society will not function without them. Homosexual marriage is against those rules. If we don’t allow them to marry, it does not mean we hate them, we are just trying to keep our society healthy and functioning properly.

The reason Christians oppose homosexual marriage (and abortion) is because we believe we came here to be tested; to see if we would live by faith and be obedient to the laws of God.
Rules like the Ten Commandments and other teachings are part of that test. We must have faith that the prophets spoke for God and we must do our best to follow those laws. We fail, of course, but try we must. We are judged on how well we did, and any failings will be swallowed up by the mercy of Jesus. Laws like adultery are for once the game starts and will be used at the end.
Homosexuals cannot reproduce naturally and abortion stops reproduction, thus thwarting the whole design of God. Without a beginning, there is no end.

Posted on June 12, 2012 at 3:23pm1. Not everyone is Christian.
2. Not everyone who claims to be Christian, truly understands what it means to be a Christian- meaning those who harshly judge others- and those who behave in ways towards others Jesus Christ would not approve of.
3. Though we are a nation founded on Judeo Christian ideals, which has made us a very unique country in all good ways; we are not a theocracy.
4. You cannot legislate morality, or immorality. I’m a Christian do I believe male/male relationship is ideal? Of course not as man and woman were paired to create and raise new life, and the differences between the two create the ideal environment. However, not everyone is hetero; and there are a lot of gay people out there who are very family oriented, want and care about love and companionship, and don’t care to change the definition of marriage, but want their union respected by the law of the land- and guess what? It should be, they should have that.
I’m getting really sick and tired of all of the social issues rubbish truly. I think social Conservatives are no different from Liberal big gov nuts, both want to dictate how you live your life- and both are out of line with the ideals the founding fathers set in place. When the day of judgement comes, it will be you judged individually, and alone. Not your family and not the country, but each soul on this earth individually, and I can say with 100% fact god would not destroy anyone just because he/she is gay.

I agree with most of your post, particularly the part about how some Christians do not treat people as Jesus would have. However, at what point does ‘live at let live’ become ridiculous?
Are we to allow every sort of behavior just because a minority of the population cannot abide the rules?
Isn‘t this the ’everybody gets a trophy’ mentality?
Christians do not want all of their beliefs to become laws that the entirety of the population must adhere to. By law, we do not expect people to: tithe, get baptized, be born again, keep the Sabbath holy, not use the Lord’s name in vain, honor their mother and father, visit the sick, imprisoned widowed or fatherless. We do not expect them to be meek, compassionate, humble, or prayerful.
When that happens, you can use the theocracy line, until then, it is a myth that we want to legislate morality.

Posted on June 13, 2012 at 12:54am@B.GODDARD – Actually the Bible makes no such claim. Protestants like to quote 2 Tim 3:16 to say that scripture alone is the pillar and bulwark of truth but it doesn’t say that, it says “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work” So scripture is useful for training in righteousness and to thoroughly equip the man of God for every GOOD WORK. Whereas 1 Tim 3:16 tells us that THE CHURCH is the PILLAR AND BULWARK OF TRUTH. This poses a problem for Protestant doctrine because Protestants insist that the Church is INVISIBLE but how can anyone find the truth if it is INVISIBLE? Matthew 5:14 tells us “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden“ Whenever scripture seems to contradict Protestant doctrine that passage is a ”hard verse“ or a ”metaphor“ or ”symbolic“ or a ”mystery” such as John 6:65 “My Body is Real food and my Blood is REAL Drink” many Protestants believe this is a “hard teaching” and they walk away. Conversely if a teaching agrees with their doctrine it is to be taken literally. Jesus Christ established a Church and He promised that the Holy Spirit would guide Her to ALL TRUTH and the Gates of Hell WOULD NOT prevail against Her. Anyone who says She is INVISIBLE and went apostate is denying Jesus promise. God Bless

By your measure, you can’t judge burglars or child molesters any other moral failings. Dear Carrie,do you not read in scripture, both the old and new testaments, what God clearly says about homosexuality?
The entire “judge not lest ye be judged” passage has been appropriated by the left to beat people of faith over the head and excuse all kinds of behavior, exempting it from any criticism. The word for “judge” in that passage is one of 7 words in scripture that the English language renders as “judge.” In this instance, it is used to mean “write off as irredeemable”, or “determine to be beyond salvation.” In other words, we are not to judge them as not worthy of God’s love. However, the apostle Paul told us to “judge all things.“ The word here means ”evaluate”. We are to evaluate what we see in the lives if professed believers and determine if it squares with that they preach. We are also to weigh what we accept into our own lives and see that it lines up with scripture.
Other words for“judge” are words that mean to decide, as in a legal case; consider, as in evidence or opinion; actual person holding the office of judge; and so on.

Posted on June 12, 2012 at 1:27pmThe gay life style is a sin. I dont care personally what people do in their bed rooms but I will never support or endorse gay marriage. Its one think to not to judge as Mrs. Underwood says its completely another to come out in support of it.

Posted on June 12, 2012 at 1:34pmIt’s difficult for me to wrap my mind around “a gay friendly church”. Are there thief friendly churches? Gossip friendly churches? Witchcraft friendly churches? Adultery friendly churches?
Sin is sin, one of which is homosexuality. Of course people in church sin, but we are supposed to be trying not to and we at least have to recognize when we sin so we can move towards changing. I certainly will not be friendly towards someone calling themselves a Christian but who calls a sin not a sin. They are living in deception.

I might remind Doseof-un-reality that ‘stan’ has come into the 21st century. He came from the 20th. Before that the 19th. Before that, the 18th…
And back, and back, and back… You get the picture…

Posted on June 12, 2012 at 1:23pmCarrie’s been too long away from the bedrock of her faith. Homosexuality is directly opposed to Biblical teachings and GOD’s mandate for HIS people.
Many of our main denominational churches have slid away too. They are now teaching as God’s doctrines the ideas of man. They are wrong.

Posted on June 12, 2012 at 1:33pmThe most detestable thing is how she (and like her Obama) uses her “Christian faith” as the reason for her support of it.

Posted on June 12, 2012 at 2:04pmIt’s a fake Christian faith. The bible is clear both old and new testaments that homosexuality is a sin. What Underwood is doing is ignoring the texts and simply going on “feelings” while citing Christianity. It’s a very empty, and muddled assertion that Underwood is offering. The most obvious question back at Underwood is..”ok..so where does God endorse homosexuality?”.

Posted on June 13, 2012 at 12:41amHere’s the problem, she is right! It is according to “her christian faith”, not the Bible or THE Christian faith. It is according to her version of the faith. Christians fall into two sections.
Either…
1. You say to God, “I’m going this way God, so come along and follow me.” I’ve decided this is what MY faith says and this is the box I put MY god in. You make your own mind your god by picking and choosing which parts of the Bible to follow. You don’t like something so you omit it and make “your own christian faith.”
Or
2. You follow God. You follow the Bible. You make Jesus Christ the LORD of your life! You pray to be in GOD’S will, not your own. You can’t cherry pick the faith, it is what it is and you take it as a whole.
You need to decide which group your in, but know that one of these groups will be told “Get away, I never knew you”, by Jesus himself. Choose wisely.
What is a Christian? A believer and follower of Jesus Christ and his teachings. The devil and all his minions believe in Jesus but they refuse to make him Lord of their life. So, if you are making your own way by cherry picking the faith, like Carrie is(so sad), then you are on par with the devil, GRATS
