      I would say Christ is lord (one doesn't make him one's personal lord), but until you follow him in obedience he isn't your saviour.
      We know J6 wasn’t peaceful because they didn’t set the building on fire.

        To contextualise, think along the lines of "not my president" with a healthy dose of Acts 13:46 thrown in.
        1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.

          Because Islam as a general religion is roughly 300 (technically around 600 years so we might have 300 more to go!) years behind Christianity in maturing and doing so would lead to death threats if not attempts to kill for blasphemy like Christians used to back then.

                  Yep. but sometimes the part you play is as a warning to others.


                  Romans 9:13 As it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”

                  14 What shall we say then? Is there injustice on God's part? By no means! 15 For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” 16 So then it depends not on human will or exertion,[b] but on God, who has mercy. 17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.” 18 So then he has mercy on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills.

                  19 You will say to me then, “Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?” 20 But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, “Why have you made me like this?” 21 Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use? 22 What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, 23 in order to make known the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory— 24 even us whom he has called, not from the Jews only but also from the Gentiles?

                    Sorry, but Christianity is an exclusive club, where only those who repent of their sins and choose to follow Jesus in all of his righteousness are welcome. Everyone else can go to hell. Literally.

                      Any church is enriched by its gay members and therefore it should celebrate gayness and accept the possibility that the Lord Jesus also was gay.



                      Whether Jesus was gay or straight in no way affects who he was and what he means for the world today. Spiritually it is immaterial. What matters in this context is that there are many gay and lesbian followers of Jesus – ordained and lay – who, despite the church, remarkably and humbly remain its faithful members. Would the Christian churches in their many guises more openly accept, embrace and love them, there would be many more disciples.

                        You're a bloomin' idiot. Any hope I ever had that you're not simply a degenerate is out the window.

                          The underlying issue is that the relationship between Christianity and maleness has always been a bit tricky.

It encourages certain attitudes that contravene adult maleness: contrition, admission of vulnerability and weakness, empathy, and so on. Aren't these womanly qualities? Isn't this whole religion … a bit gay?

                          A key part of evangelicalism's (relatively successful) strategy has been to privilege straight male leadership. The "unmanliness" of Christianity is balanced by an insistence that the church values traditional male authority. The young Christian man might be perceived as unmanly by his peers, for avoiding premarital sex, and singing about his devotion to Jesus, but there is something to compensate for this: he is handed a traditional male identity, a haven from the ravages of sex-related indeterminacy.
