Basically I want to know if they exist and if any of them would like to get to know me. I am a firm believer in Christ as the Son of God and His message about the Kingdom of Heaven and I want a man who looks at life the same way I do - or at least in a comparable way.


God created the environment; therefore it is important.


Yes abortion is wrong - but making it illegal won't stop it - you'll just lose the mother too because of infections, etc. I'd rather lose 1 life than 2.


Marriage licenses are handed out by the government - not the Church. As long as the person performing the marriage ceremony has the right to turn down a job then I see no problem.


I would rather see a child adopted by a loving and accepting homosexual couple than by a hetero couple who are idiots and/or abusive.


The Gospel is about LOVE despite right and wrong - not love FOR right and wrong.

and you just violated several dozen things that as a follower of Christ and Lover of God you shouldn't do


#1 Abortion - it's murder...plain and simple, if complications do arise then that's what hospitals were created for EMERGENCY SITUATIONS. If you're pregnant and just want to be rid of the child that's not an emergency.


#2 We're told to follow the law of the land as well as Obey the commandments set forth by God. So the whole marriage license thing? discussed before and you do need one to be considered "Married" in the nation's eyes.


#3 So a homosexual couple who flaunts their ways and teaches the child it's ok to be homosexual and that it ISN'T a sin and that NOTHING is wrong with being a homosexual and that you're born with it? You obviously have some really curious ideals about what God deems ok.


God is Love but I'm sure you've also heard of the phrase "Tough Love", He knows whats best for us and he knows we've just about destroyed ourselves from the things we've done.


You probably also think it's alright to not make your voice heard when someone violates your faith and beliefs. After all the meek shall inherit the earth and we're supposed to turn the other cheek and blah blah blah. Meekness isn't weakness, Turning the other cheek was for you NOT to resort to violent acts if someone rose up against YOU. In this day and age though groups and people are attacking our virtues, values, and belief in God every minute of every day and I FOR ONE will no longer tolerate it I'm gonna be like Jesus take up my whip and chase the money changers outta the temple!!


IF you loved God you would too! I'm sorry you just comprimise to the world's way of doing things but I pray that your eyes would open up to the actual truth and not the half truth. God Bless

Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye." Matthew 7:1-29


"If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen." 1 John 4:20
"If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." 1 Corinthians 13:1-7

Yes they exist, but they're an endangered species, essentially. As J said above, the abortion thing is unequivocally nothing less than murder to most of us. Christian marriage is between a man and a woman, not two women and not two men. Just because the state declares it a marriage in the secular legal sense doesn't make it a marriage before God (conversely, just because the state says that a man and woman aren't legally married doesn't mean they aren't before God either).


God is love. Love does not include nor require acceptance or approval of sin or unbiblical ideas.


Good luck with your search. Your dating pool is pretty narrow and you're going to need all the luck you can get.

Precisely!


I'm not trying to judge either I'm trying to show you the truth you seem to be blinded to


Abortion is Murder.


God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve or Amanda and Eve and keeps the sanctity of marriage between man and woman very serious and holy.


and like James said you do get married in the eyes of the lord but we're also told to follow the law of the land so that means in order to live in this land as a married couple You would have to apply for a marriage license.


It just baffles me to think that ANYONE would think abortion is O K...

i'll largely stay out of this one chick, but you are asking for a man who is true to his beliefs while at the same time compromising them deeply. there are men who will tell you one thing and do another, so you are likely to be able to find someone who will tell you what you want to hear and still do what you want him to do, but first take the time to be honest with yourself, decide if thats what you really want, then if that is what you will really want. the rest is up to you.

It is impossible for good to come to a compromise with evil, because any compromise with evil makes good no longer good. We ARE supposed to love even the worst of sinners, but from the beginning of time God absolutely refused to accept their sinful acts, as are we.





2 cor 6:14-16


"Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and unrightsousness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness ? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: 'I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people."


and 1 John 1:5-7


"This is the message we have heard from Him and declare to you: God Is light , In Him there Is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with Him yet walk in darkness , we lie and do not live by the truth. But if we walk in the light , as He is in the light , we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from every sin."



What is unclear about these things? There is no tolerance in the heart of God for sin against him, nor is there in the heart of a Christian. This does not mean we hate those that do the sin, for we were sinners once as well, but that we should have no relationship... no fellowship with that sin. There is no compromise between good and evil.

In answer to your question, yes. There are committed orthodox Christians who "think like you do." They exist. However, as you can see from the heavy black/white replies, those who are most vocal are the most conservative. That has been the case in politics, which is why the minority, the hard right, keeps winning. They organize and vote and are without doubt the most passionate about their position. There was also a bit of help along the way from Justice Scalia, but that's a different story. If you want to meet others like yourself, you might try a large Methodist church, but (now I am preaching) be sure that they believe that Jesus actually rose from the dead or else you might be getting Christianity light which could get you way off track. Take care and keep reading and learning the Bible and politics, it is very interesting. Just don't let folks who are trying to "fix you" get you down. There is no church where everyone agrees, that would be a church of one! The key is to remain teachable and interested and love God no matter what.

You also might want to read something about noted Christian author Tony Campolo. Here is a quote from Wikipedia about him: "Anthony "Tony" Campolo (born 1935) is a well-known American pastor, author, sociologist, and public speaker known for challenging Evangelical Christians by illustrating how their faith can offer solutions in a world of complexity. With his liberal political and social attitudes, he has been a major proponent for progressive thought and reform in the evangelical community." You are not alone...

You might read some of Tony Campolo's work -- he is a noted Christian author who, according to the online encyclopedia, challenges evangelicals with his liberal polital and social attitudes. Google the guy and you'll see, you are not alone.
