Matthew 7:15-21

***15 **9 "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but underneath are ravenous wolves. *
***16 ******By their fruits you will know them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? ***
***17 ******Just so, every good tree bears good fruit, and a rotten tree bears bad fruit. ***
***18 ******A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a rotten tree bear good fruit. ***
***19 ******Every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. ***
***20 ******So by their fruits you will know them. ***
***21 *****"Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, 10 but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. **

You would be surprised. A while back, we had a long thread on the abortion issue.

We had a Christian on here claiming that not only did the Bible accept homosexual actions, including homosexual marriage, it endorced it.
