Being that I don't already hate gay people, why would I pay any attention to anything your website has to say about them, or those who support them?

I choose the good because I am saved not to become saved or to look good among men. It is the nature of my born again spirit because my spirit is born of God and God is good.

No too well (Ro 7:18-19). I need a savior (2 Ti 1:10).

We are positionally righteous (1 Co 1:30, 2 Co 5:21, Ga 2:16, 2:20-21) and practically righteous (Jas 2:24, 1 Jn 2:29, 3:7, 3:10-12).

7 *Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 *He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

4 *That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5 *For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6 *For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 *Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

You may. Be sure it's the Jesus of scripture. Jesus saves sinners (Mt 9:12). The Christian is not sinless. He sins less. A redeemed man has yet the remains of sin in him (Ro 7:17,23; Ga 5:17). We are justified (Isa 45:25; 53:11), then sanctified (Ps 4:3; 2 Co 6:17); we will one day be glorified (2 Cor 3:18).

What do you think of American values? "The left stands for: secularism, equality and multiculturalism. The right stands for (The American Trinity: found on any coin in your pocket): 'In God we Trust', Liberty and E pluribus unum, Latin for 'out of many, one'... (Prager)." Eccl 10:2

What are you talking about? The only sin that will result in an eternal hell is the sin of unbelief.

The answer is yes. The law is for the lawless. The law is our tutor to bring us to Christ (Ga 3:24). The word of God, like a mirror, reveals who we are (Jas 1:23-25).

Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin [Rom. 3:20].

"Now, I challenge any person today who believes that you have to keep the Law to be saved to take this verse and explain it. “Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight.” And “justified” means to be declared righteous, to be saved, to meet God’s standards. You can never do it, my beloved. It’s absolutely impossible for mankind to do. “By the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified.” Then what is the purpose of the Law? “By the law is the knowledge of sin.” Rather than providing a salvation for man, the Law reveals man to be a sinner." McGee, J. Vernon: Thru the Bible Commentary. electronic ed. Nashville : Thomas Nelson, 1997, c1981, S. 4:665


Quote:

For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all [James 2:10].

"James is not saying that if you break one commandment, you have broken them all. He is saying you are guilty of breaking the commandments no matter which one it is that you broke. A man may be in prison as a murderer, look across the aisle and say to another fellow, “I’m not a rapist. I never broke that law”—yes, but he is behind bars; he is a murderer. It is ironic when a prisoner actually murders another prisoner because he considers his crime a terrible thing! But, my friend, you do not have to go to the penitentiary to find that attitude; you will find people outside of prison who are looking down upon others in the same way.

We all stand before God as lawbreakers."

For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law [James 2:11].

"To break one law makes a lawbreaker." McGee, J. Vernon: Thru the Bible Commentary. electronic ed. Nashville : Thomas Nelson, 1997, c1981, S. 5:647-648
