Homosexuality. What does the Bible say?

Posted on by

“Gay and proud of it,” I am reading in The New Zealand Herald, Thursday, February 14, 2013.

“Gay? & Unhappy” and “Gay & Christian,” are two advertisements in the NZ Baptist. (February 2013)

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY?

Is homosexuality a sickness? Is homosexuality a sin?

There are many Christians who do not know what to answer. Christians who have studied the Bible have learned that the Bible calls homosexuality sin.

I have studied the Bible and that settles the question for me.

P1110710-150x150“The LORD

Numbers 14:11,12

Intr.:

said to Moses,

1.  ‘How long will these people treat me with contempt?

2.  How long will they refuse to believe in me,

in spite of all the miraculous  signs I have performed among them?

End:

I will strike them down with a plague and destroy them, but I will make you into a nation greater and stronger than they.'”

OBESITY AND TYPE 2 DIABETES

Posted on by

In an invitation to “The Puku Project EFK Challenge Tackling Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity” I am reading that Obesity is already bad in New Zealand and that the forecast does not look good. I am reading the same about Type 2 Diabetes.

I am learning also that if we exceed the amount of glucose we need every day for energy, the excess is stored as fat.

Not only obesity will be likely the end result, but also Type 2 diabetes, if this goes on for a long time.

We must learn life-changing concepts.

In the invitation it says also, “Fortunately, for most people the solution is simple. Turn all this  around by learning to maintain normal blood-sugar levels and committing to a few simple food and lifestyle changes.”

EFT is short for Eat For Keeps .
