Summary
A caller said that they knew there'd be many people who consider themselves evangelical Christians who were going to vote in favor of a president who is not only pro-abortion but voted for late term abortion (which is a terrible, depraved act). We now have perspective in that the percentages have been released and it appears that more than 6,000,000 people who consider themselves to be evangelical, born again Christians voted in favor of abortion. If we are all filled with the same Holy Spirit, how can we be so far apart on moral issues?
What is the difference between the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God?
In John 8:51 is Jesus taking the term "death" literally or figuratively?
What is a Biblical basis for Christian leaders telling those under their care how to vote in an election?
Leslie, Beaufort, I listened to your sermon "Is it OK to be gay?" and understand that the English translation of every Bible clearly speaks against homosexuality. A friend of mine is a young adult pastor of a church in Charleston and he teaches that homosexuality is not a sin and that there was a lack of accuracy in the translation of the original text to English. He says the original words of the Old Testament were written in Hebrew, a language in which there was no word for homosexuality, and that the OT was originally referring to any sexual behavior sparked by lust and not love. He also teaches that the New Testament was written in Greek and used the word "malacos" which does not mean homosexuality but any and all sexual behavior (homosexual and heterosexual) that involves lust without love. He referenced another text in which a woman said to her young, male lover, "Come with me, my malacos." What are your thoughts about this? Because some homosexuals do not jump in the sack immediately but fall in love first. And usually you quote and explain the original text and its context in your sermons.
