Homosexuality is a sin. A most despicable one. No normal, ie. non-homosexual, wants to rape a homosexual. Where do you get that from? It only demonstrates that homosexuals and their supporters are brain damaged. We just want you to burn in hell where you belong.
A&E's 'what would you do?' show from today, 8/8/17...pushing hard for the lgbt agenda by condemning people who react negatively to same sex 'parenting'...they set up a straw man scenario then get only reactions from pro lgbt patrons. Same sex people conceiving and role modeling children is a crime against the unconsenting and defenseless child, against God and humanity.
Gill is just following the spirit of his father in Hell, Lucifer. They would crucify Christ again if he reappeared on Earth. But God will not be mocked, and a day is coming when He will intervene and humiliate these sodomites.
Gill is the real bigot.
This is a war between good and evil. It seems a lot of "Christians" don't view it in those terms. But the lgbtq certainly do. Their goal is to win. That means they intend to vanquish their enemy. They will not have mercy. They will not call a cease fire. They will continue until either none of their enemies remains, or until none of them remains. They intend to make all of their enemies surrender, or destroy them. If you think I exaggerate, you are naïve.
Indeed. Because make no mistake: These are forces coming straight from the very pits of hell. They must be fought in order for things good and truthful to win.
Rubbish
God bless you and bring you to his truth and love.
I'd say there's 5 sides to the battle. As mentioned there's the homofascists - those who seek to exterminate Biblical Christianity, who claim following Jesus is wickedness. Supporting them are those people who identify themselves as Christian, but reject everything in Scripture bar what suits their feelings and lifestyle choices. Then there's 2 groups of neutrals - homosexuals who have nothing to do with religion and don't see how Christianity affects them, plus Christians who're living under rocks and somehow missed the implications of various legal actions around the world and the demands of activists. Finally there's those Christians who are aware of what the Bible says about homosexuality, and aware of how endangered they are. Some are public figures so can speak out and oppose or support various efforts, others are merely churchgoers so largely restricted to praying, discussing things with friends, family or colleagues - as appropriate, and writing to their local political representative, assuming they aren't an activist.
If you want to add a 6th group you could consider Muslims (& others) who share Christianity's rejection of the homosexual lifestyle. They too are alarmed and disturbed at the homosexual agenda and leaders can and do work together at times to inform the government about community opposition to assorted plans. Of course that's all for nought when 5 unelected officials simply impose a change on society and there is no legal way of changing it.
I wouldn't care to speculate figures but I think the homofascists comprise a very small minority. The problem is it's not just comprised of practicing homosexuals, but also business leaders, political leaders, and especially the media so their powerbase is way out of proportion to their numbers. As to how the majority of Christians break down, that's much much harder. First you have to define who's Christian. If going by self identification rather than Biblical identification then the largest group may support homosexuality - theological traitors if you will. For those who actually adhere to Scripture, I suspect the largest group may be neutral, but not necessarily because they're living under rocks, but simply because there are so many issue confronting society that when they prioritise what to worry about and what not to worry about the subject just falls off the list. Many 60+ Christians would likely fall into this category too since homosexuality simply didn't exist in the society they grew up in. By contrast those currently attending university, or even school, may struggle to avoid homosexual values and indoctrination, and of course TV, video games etc are increasingly pushing the message too. The result is young Christians have no choice but to make a decision about whether to embrace Biblical values and fight back against the homosexual agenda, or to ignore Biblical values. The problem then is having encountered or even experienced intolerance, bigotry and hatred it is much much harder to embrace a Jesus solution than an Amalric - kill em all type response. Christians may be called to follow God, but we're human too.
Very well put Andrew, and observing these things taking place across the "westernized world" two passages of scripture come to mind. Both spoken by Jesus.
Firstly, as it was in the days of Noah plus Sodom and Gomorrah.
Secondly Jesus said something very interesting when referring to these end times in Matthew 24:6-51.....
"And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things MUST COME TO PASS, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Anyone who has read their publications will notice that we "straight" folk are referred to as "breeders" and considered as polluters of mother earth.
Poor souls, they forgot that it took two opposites to make one of them, which means that their lifestyle leads to ultimate extinction.
Anyhow we received our final instruction on "Tolerance" from an angel (wonder if he was visiting Lot that fateful night) the instruction is .....
"He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still".KJV Rev 22:11
Notice the key instruction "LET" however it does not necessarily mean "Approve Of".
Calm down.
Wow, profound.
There's a point homofascists are overlooking. If they're persecuting those with a Christian identity for failing to approve of their lifestyle choice then it becomes purely political - using the power of the state against their enemies. In that case why should conservatives who reject homosexuality as natural and consider it depraved, or Muslim activists who share a similar view, and who will be the next targets of choice, not seek to punish homosexuals for their perversion?
Here is who will lose this fight: The people with no boundaries and clarity.
Right now, that is both sides, propelling the entire society into loser status.
The Tim Gill Army, pursuing a shift in social boundaries, employed tactics that just destroy all the boundaries (versus defining a shift). Tim Gill needs the opposition to save him from himself.
But the opposition is no more clear.
Tim Gill wants to tear down whatever used to stand--and the opposition wants to put back up whatever is being taken down.
Together--such confusion--makes us all losers.
There are actually Christians on both sides of this issue who COULD lay out (and live) a coherent Gospel response to the complex issues involved that would be good news to all. There would be significant disagreement--but the overriding purposes would be strong enough to maintain a unity and willingness to live out the answers. But such a response would require a deep humility before God and each other. And we will blow everyone off the face of the planet before we bow.
"There are actually Christians on both sides of this issue". No, all Christians oppose homosexuals. There are no Christians on the other side.
I read The Wounded Healer, my Christian neighbour lent it to me. Henri Nouwen was homosexual and I wonder how he dealt with that obvious conundrum being a Christian. There are many Christians and Catholics alike who struggle with their homosexuality, I guess it comes down to whether they see it as a sin that needs purging ( sorry if I don't have the right words to describe it) or as a valid expression of Gods love. I'm neither Christian or homosexual just curious to know how gay Christians deal with this obvious dichotomy.
Your "Christianity" doesn't allow for repentance and forgiveness???
Christianity is being changed to suit the Lgbtq side, that is not right. And I'm coming from the perspective of a non Christian. The homosexual lifestyle simply does not fit with Christianity, twisting the law to make it so does not alter that fact. It is the Lgbtq side who need to do the soul searching instead of attacking Christians ( and non Christians) who disagree with them.
The kingdom suffers violence and the violent take it by force.
“We’re going to punish the wicked.”
He certainly does enjoy using the terminology of his perceived enemies.
I lost respect for most Gays years ago when they became very forward in public, screaming at ppl during protests and generally obnozious in restaurants. I am respectful to individuals. That's it.
Any shred of doubt as to whether we are in the end times is being removed daily.. I am wondering if I will actually witness open violence against Christians in the USA on a mass scale. Tribulation is at hand.
You must be joking?
According to you only.
Nah there's plenty who find your rhetoric and histrionics laughable.
Actually there's far more than plenty who find your delusion not only laughable but a permanent factor in the unworkability of your own life... job, relationships, achievements so on and so forth. Glad you're here.
LMAO! My career and marriage have spanned two decades. Keep those sweet christian sentiments coming.
Here we go again. Bragging Mr. Perfect.
Wow, a patriot, intellectual, and successfully employed and happily married. Aren't you just the freak?
Sarcasm isn't very Christian, where is your tolerance and forgiveness?
Tolerance is just another name for submission in these times. It is between me and God when forgiveness will occur. I'm not God, so I don't require repentance before giving forgiveness, but the aggressors here who deny God are prayed for daily. After all, eternity is a long, long, time, whether one believes in it now, or not.
I'm not a Christian, but my neighbour is. I asked her what she thought of your quip that you don't have to belong to the church of nice just because you're Christian. She said that YOU are no Christian! I forgive you and let you go.
You took it completely out of context and somehow the Christian you know is the final authority, but without all the information. Fine, but I stand by my responses made to another poster, not you. If you think that it is okay that web site troll John Connor thinks it is okay for him to attack comments by faithful people who posted here with replies of "Rubbish" and "You must be joking" and "Nah there's plenty who find your rhetoric and histrionics laughable." then I think you need to reevaluate your stance. Non-believers always pull the "your not very Christian" line out when they smear Christians and get called on it.
Thanks for that sweet christian sentiment
Being Christian does not mean belonging to the "Church of Nice". A big part of the problem is aggressors like you think that you can spew out anything you like and not get anything back.
You are the only one attacking.
Again, read the comments of the person I am replying to. I am by no means the only one "attacking". Then again, maybe you agree with John Connor?
What have I spewed? Aggressor? Because I have an opinion? What hypocrisy. You've called me a liar with zero proof and I'm the aggressor?? LOL!
sure it has. my parents has spanned twice that and some... as long as there's an occasional hooker in the picture or a mistress, it's all good, it will last till death.
but like any other self professed "atheist", what you disclose here and what the reality of the situation is... are like night and day.
LOL! Pretty sad that you think like that.... So atheists are incapable of marriage and career? Like most professing "christians" on this site , you know very little.
Try not to focus on the details...more on the ontology of what I'm saying. I'm not pointing out details about your life - merely that a certain way of being arises when one becomes his or her own god versus when we surrender to the one true God. Again, not enough room to go through the arguments here.
I didn't say they are incapable . They merely can't get saved. That's all. And many have crappy lives. Maybe you're one of the lucky ones who has it all together.. with your self invented moral code.
No gods needed to have a moral code.
Where do you think the "moral code" comes from? Ever heard of the Ten Commandments? By the way, Its God, not gods.
There are multiple gods worshipped. Yours isn't anymore special or real than the others.
Not only are you arrogant, but ignorant, too. Relativist.
Where then as an atheist do you find the basis for objective morality may I ask ?
And the room went silent. He gets it from his own personally touchy feelie subjective insides.
Why do you Christians want to rape and murder all we LGBTQIA+ people? Why? Now that you won the SCOTUS Masterpiece cake decision, we know youryo coming after us and will beat and rape us to death. Why does your christ demand that you exterminate us?
