Hi Alex, your qoute;
Hi Micheal,
Yes this is how I try the spirits. I search scripture first. Scripture has said what it has said. End of qoute.
Alex here is some scriptures, did you search them?
1Co 5:9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
1Co 5:10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
1Co 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
1Co 5:12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
1Co 5:13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
OK Alex thats a good one! Heres some more
Psalms 1:1-2 (KJV)
1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night
2 Corinthians 6:14 (KJV)
14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
2 Corinthians 6:17 (KJV)
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
Ephesians 5:11 (KJV)
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
2 Thessalonians 3:14 (KJV)
14 And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
Now you have some council from the word of God. What you do with it is up to you. If you do whats right then fine, and if you do whats not right then God will hold you accountable! Whether you judge your self or not it is up to you. Like I said its not about the gay man and his wedding. Its about you! Here is a qoute from LRay…
I am not condemning the sinners, but I am condemning the sin and the lax attitudes toward this sin. As Paul clearly states:
"...and such were some of YOU."
How is it that Paul can state: "such were" some of you?
"For ALL HAVE SINNED and come short of the Glory of God" (Rom. 3:23).
God will pardon all of our sins, but they must be put in our past.
If I condoned my own past sins, I never would have repented of them.
"Wherein in time past you walked according to the course of this world... Among whom also we all had our conduct in times past in the lust of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh..." (Eph. 2:2-3).
Continuing:
"For ALL have sinned... Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are PAST, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. (Rom. 3:24-26).
Now back up to the beginning of Romans 6:
"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?" (Rom. 6:1-2).
There is salvation available, and it is by grace, not our own personal works of righteousness, but we must first repent. This repentance is also by grace. It is a gift from God just like salvation itself. Once again, we are ALL in the same boat for we have ALL sinned.
End of qoute.
Well I hope this helps if you ever get invited to a gay mans wedding.
God be with you
