Recently Dolly Parton,owner of Dollywood theme parks came out in support of gays and lesbians,calling Christians who judge them "sinners". The kicker is that Miss Parton makes a rather tidy sum of money off Dollywood which has gospel groups sing regularly there at the park.Many Christians support Dollywood for its family atmosphere.I for one,will not be supporting Miss Parton or Dollywood in the future.And Christians should do the same.Any thoughts?

Considering all the Christian support this woman gets I was rather surprised by her speaking up. I'm hoping to see these gospel groups stop supporting her but I have a feeling they wont.Either way the next time Im in Pigeon Forge I wont be giving Miss Parton any support. What an airhead!

It won't stop. Most, if not all Gospel groups are doing music for their on recognition. It really isn't for God. That's why I quit years ago.

God made Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve. Dolly may not understand biblical judgement or sexuality

well, as an owner of a major theme park, I get that she does not want to discriminate. but there is a difference between not discriminating and supporting something that is clearly sin as defined by the Bible. I for one am so so sick of the gay agenda.

I don't understand what is so sick about Dolly not wanting to judge someone for a sin no worse than any other sin. The bible says divorce is a sin, in even more specific detail than it talks about homosexuality. I have never seen a Christian talking about how sick it is to support those who want to divorce and remarry. It seems hypocritical in my opinion. Why would you pick out that one sin out of every sinful lifestyle the bible describes, and call someone sick for not judging it, the way they don't judge people who commit the others?

Parton is judging those that do not fall in line with her thinking on homosexuality.
Divorce and remarriage is not sinful in all cases, Mt 19:9.

It may be that way for many of them,I must admit.I traveled and sang for 20yrs with my family and it wasn't about the money for me.In fact many times we could not afford to pay the bills.But we did not get involved in the Nashville scene where you pay money to get professionally promoted.That is where you see the dollar talk.I did not want to be owned by a company and so we stayed independent.That being aside Dolly makes her money from Christians and she is discriminating against them to say they are judging gays if they disagree with the gay lifestyle.I expect her to try and walk back that comment when she realizes what she's done.Either way she should lose all Christian support!

God has already judged. We who know this judgment are just following suit with the truth. Read Romans chapter 1. This sin is much more obvious than others. Knowing that God is love and we are to love others, is it love to watch these people go straight to hell while we complement and support their demise?

But nobody protests the sinful cases either. And certainly no one tries to campaign to make sinful remarriage illegal, like they do homosexual marriage. She is just saying that you shouldn't judge homosexuals, the same way you would say you shouldn't judge anyone else who sins. No reason to get mad at her for that, when I hear christians say all the time you shouldn't judge. Why does it suddenly become sick when it's homosexuals you shouldn't judge?

Why would one see Dolly Parton as a sterling example of Christianity in the first place? (Rhetorical question, not aimed at you.)

Because we do not judge does not make us unable to distinguish sin.

I do not agree with divorce except for where the Bible allows it,if there is abuse or a partner is being unfaithful.But that is not the same as homosexuality.It is called a perversion in the Bible and is clearly different than other sin.The Bible says you are sinning against your own body...Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. (1 Corinthians 6:18)
 Marriage between a man and a woman is Gods foundation for the family.It is sacred.Homosexuality will never be in line with that or be in Gods will. In Romans...For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; [SUP]27[/SUP] and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.

The gay movement is a culture to tear down traditional {God created} marriage and therefore the family which is the foundation of society.That is why homosexuality is different from other sins.Gods plan was for a man and woman to marry and he made no exception to that.It is a sin to hate someone who is gay but Christians are not to support that lifestyle.

Because homosexuals have becoming overbearing and pushy and setting up an agenda that teaches 'if you don't support us you are against us'. They don't allow people to simply disagree or to have their own values or opinions. If homosexuals were not being so forceful and making enemies of people who don't agree with them then you wouldn't see so much against homosexuals either. In reality, much of why people are so vocally against them is because they are so vocal in forcing you to accept them. They bring it on themselves.
Meanwhile you don't see 'sinful remarriage' people out in parades, forcing their agendas in schools, etc... Your argument doesn't hold water because you are comparing two different behaviors. 'Sinful remarriage' people are just going on about their business. Not out making enemies of people who disagree with their choice.
Also, to my knowledge, there is nowhere in the bible that refers to remarriage as an 'abomination', yet homosexuality is. So obviously we are not dealing with equal issues as well.





Personally, i couldn't care less what some celebrities views on morality are. People of all kinds of belief systems make stupid statements all the time. Just because a person is in the public eye doesn't mean i'm going to care any more than any 'regular' person saying it.

I just thank God, that Christ walked among sinners.............everyone seems to be juding the ones that are judging, and well, the circle keeps on going........I understand that there is a difference between accepting people with a specific sin, and supporting their sin.........that's what we as Christians need to learn the difference............yes, homosexuality is an "obvious" sin.......it is out there for you to see........what about all of the sick secret sins in peoples lives......the ones you can not see just right in your face?!! I try so hard not to judge others, because how we judge others is how we will be judged.....His word says so.........people who call out this sin, like it's the "most" worst sin ever.........when someone in your family comes out as a homosexual.........you will learn real qucik, not to judge and condem them to hell.......you will learn to LOVE as Christ loves.....because you may be the only part of Christ they will ever see..................I LOVE my homosexual family member......I pray for them, and in front of them.....I try to show them the love of Christ in all that I do and say.....I don't love the sin......I don't love any sin for that matter..........but I love the sinner...........God loves the sinner.......I am a sinner......A child of God, but I fail Him everyday in some way and pray for His amazing Mercy and Grace to forgive me...........just my opinion.....

Because it's the only sin that's defendable. No one is going to defend stealing, murder, lying, cheating, or anything like that. The "gay" thing is the battleground because it's the only defendable sin. I agree it's no worse than any other. I always liked to say it like, "yes it's a sin, but no worse a sin then what I just thought about that woman that just walked by in the short skirt".

As far as why it's always the "big topic" is the reason I gave above, it's the only sin someone will stand up and claim proudly.
