www.gaychristian.net/greatdebate.phpEven among those who claim to be gay and also Christian, there is what is known as The Great Debate. Must a person who claims to be gay and alsoChristian, remain celibate?That issue is debated in the link above by two gay men, both who claim to be Christians, but differ on whether they must remain celibate or not.Our bringing this link before viewers is not an endorsement of any kind. However, since there is now coming more and more pressure on pastors and churches about the issue, it was felt some of this material may be helpful.Doyl

This is why musicians shouldn't be pastors. Their brains can't handle any truth except chords and key changes.1 Cor. 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

In context, John 3:16was referring to the coming new birth of the Spirit mentioned in verses 3-5 that would be made available after Christ was exalted. In verse 15, Jesus states that in order for this new birth to be a possibility, he would have to be lifted up as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness. In verse 16 he mentions that we are perishing, just as those being bit by the serpents were perishing.Unless we repent of what is causing God's wrath to be kindled against us and thus causing us to perish, we cannot claim the promise of John 3:16.Verses 15-16 are a continuation of the subject of verses 3-5. Jesus came to give a new birth of the Spirit that would bring forgiveness for our unlawful acts and supernatural power to overcome them, giving us a new nature that wants to cast away every sinful act

I agree.In context, Jesus is telling Nicodemus that he must experience a new birth, one where you don't find your identity in your heritage (you don't know where it comes from) and your earthly destiny (you don't know where you're going).What Nicodemus and the Jews in Numbers 21needed to repent from was their determination to live under a system where they die from the poison in the snake's mouth and are cursed by
