Rejecting Homosexuality in all its Expressions Without Hurting or Judging Others is Vital to Being a Christian in Good Standing

[Locoponydirtman]

Well I guess being on this subject, I thought i would share this little bit of scripture that I read recently, it made me do a bit of a double take.
Also, I collected for myself silver and gold and the treasure of kings and provinces. I provided for myself male and female singers and the pleasures of men—many concubines.
Ecclesiastes 2:8 NASB

So like I often say. There is always that.

I'm not quite sure how "liberal psycho babble control freak" happened in this post? Jesus was the Son of God, and Mary and Joseph, a man of God, who spoke to God as His Father in Heaven.

What did you mean by male patriarchy? That no one should refer to God in the masculine form? Because that’s the stupid nonsense liberals have been pushing for years.

I've seen many of these threads on homosexuality. Love The sinner hate to sin, the goody two shoes approach.
Let's examine exactly what we're dealing with with the gay community. It's not just the ACT it's the pride.

Homosexuality demands acceptance and will stop at nothing to be accepted. Exploiting and defying God's natural created relationship between man and woman.
They have made it almost impossible to speak out against it without being marked as a hateful person.
They have made it almost a necessary curriculum in elementary schools to teach the young people (our children) to accept this way of life and even to go so far as to question there sexual preference.
The mind of a elementary child is not fully developed until the age of 21. Therefore taking advantage of a childs mind that cannot reason rationally is a crime in itself. But this is accepted and endorsed.
Publicly parading in lewdness is hardly a demonstration which demands respect or consideration.
Adopting children for obvious reasons and bringing them in the lifestyle and teaching the lifestyle only promotes more abomination.
Not only do the homosexuals
speak out for themselves but also for freaks of nature who love little children, animals, in adamant objects all types of demonic sensual passions.
So I asked you brothers and sisters in Christ do we walk, and talk, and preach, and teach as if we are walking on egg shells?
Do we turn a blind eye to the repercussions that this community has developed?
Do you look at this as a attack or just a phase that will go away?
These are only the beginning of the end times.
Let the gospel offend that it will offend. Speaking the truth as we are commanded in love. But is that love for the love of God's enemies or for the love of righteousness shake? You decide.
We are called to occupy until our Lord comes. We are called to minister, to preach, but also our first calling in Genesis was to tend the garden.
Evil will always flourish when good men and women do nothing.

 

[John146]

A lot of gays, not as much in modern times in the Western world because being gay is more accepted, have committed suicide and tried "alternative therapies" where they have hurt themselves to stop being gay. Gays have been imprisoned and been subject to violence. Let's step in the shoes of a gay person for minute. The reaction/opposition they faced is why they have become activists. At the end of the day, people want to be with the people they love, and they are willing to fight for this. Christians need to think about how we interact/speak about LGBT folks. Calling them/homosexuality as "disgusting" and "sick" does not help.

Ok, what about biblical terms like Sodomites and abominations? I’m good with that. It’s a choice. No one is born a Sodomite.

Btw, have you ever seen a Sodomite parade? It is sick and disgusting. That’s not being an activist, but a vile display of behavior.

I agree with you, however the radicalism we see from the gay community took form because of the lack of true Christian love they received throughout the ages.

Now the genie is out of the bottle because they have been empowered by enemies of the Christian faith. It’s going to take an insurmountable amount of love from us to reign in their radical approach in an effort to get them to listen to the gospel.

Brussel sprouts are a staple in our home.

ive just had a quick scan. i didnt see that distinction being made by the OP.

I didn't say the OP made the distinction. I was clarifying my own position when speaking of the LGBTQ.

now you just gotta catch her

I'm thinking cupcakes as bait and fly paper on the table. She lands, her little feeties stick to the paper, and the fairy dust is mine! Mine, mine,mine, muahahhahahahahaha!

Too much?

 

[bojack]

If a person comes ''out of the closet'' then I don't want them around me .. If they keep it a secret then I don't know and can treat them as if I don't know .. If they want to get saved I'm happy to talk Jesus otherwise get out of my house, nothing personal .. On jobs I treat them probably better than most folks do by being fair and not gossiping behind their back, treat them right and businesslike with even compassion and respect , just never buddy, buddy , I will tell them or anyone they will burn in hell without Jesus .. 23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

You decide.

I was hoping you could decide for me.

 

[oyster67]

Umm, I'll edit out my post because I would hope you aren't comparing an arbitrary term like "rare" (not unheard of btw more uncommon/rare) as a lie from the pit. I see it as by his grace that I didn't succumb to temptation. If that was meant for encouragement...it is appreciated.

There was once a time when I thought I was the only one.

1 Kings 19
19:9 And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD [came] to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah?
19:10 And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, [even] I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.


God's reply;

19:18 Yet I have left [me] seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.

Amen. That's why they put Christians like you in charge of Church. God is more merciful than we can imagine, but we have to tell it like it is at the end if the day. Like Paul:
"It's a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." (For judgment).
Thanks for you post, sir.

when I was 5 years old (1963) we had a book which was a kind of learner reader called "Gay Days". How ironic now.

Now I am a Fairyphobic.

and I think the two main characters were the same sex, if I recall ??

 

[Whispered]

Never heard of gay days. But today's children are likely to happen on , Toni the Tampon. Yes, that's right. A coloring book promoted by the LGBTQ recruitment arm GLSEN, it features a Transgender message that says, boys menstruate.
No, girls menstruate. But that's the down is up , up is down, reverse mentality in today's world folks.
Sodom and Gomorrah, the sequel.

And just wanted to add this , thinking about the thread title.
What is it but judgment that may hurt someones feelings when we're charged with spreading the Gospel message that informs sinners of their sin, and the eternal punishment that awaits should they not repent?
If being told their sinful lifestyle is wrong and contrary to God's design now saves their soul , what's hurt feelings now compared to suffering in Hell, as some believe, for all time for remaining in those sins till death? Because someone didn't want to hurt that LGBTQ members feelings.
