It doesn't matter what example is used. Remember the Marxist followers will accuse the other side of doing what it does. They will say 10 isn't that enough or they will say those are illegitimate. Like the OT prophets I guess all you can do is warn, be ridiculed, and watch as God's judgment unfolds.
Yeah.. there does come a point when you stop trying to reason with them. But, who's to know when exactly that is? When I lose patience, is that God or my flesh?? But, at some point, you have to realize that they will not be persuaded. Power is what they lust for, and so we may no choice but to fight. But, I for one will never let someone tell me that they have the right to get between God and myself.

When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression
See? They think that oppression against us isn't. The Left does NOT respect the first amendment, which makes them totalitarians. They are no longer merely annoying liberals. They are fascists and must be opposed accordingly.

Yeah and telling someone they don't deserve employment and the right to make a living because of who they love is totally not fascist.. I don't care how you try to rationalize it, this is hateful for no reason

We need to start putting the Italian fasces symbol over the donkey. This is what it has come to.

This came out of left field. I never advocated that a homosexual shouldn't be a waiter or an IT professional or be unable to get an apartment. Air must be low where you are.

Ok ..it was roughsoul. Who said businesses should be able to fire people for being gay.
And you wonder why people are losing interest in Christianity

Yeah... that's the way to win souls. Tell God that His holy standards need to be adjusted to fit sinful human sensibilities. Ain't happening.

BTW... Christianity flourished in Ancient Rome, where they were burned or torn apart by animals. Not exactly popular back then. And, yet it eventually became the dominant religion. Christianity in China is starting to experience a boom, too. Maybe this is just what we need here: the crazy Left to start persecuting us, with all of their warped justifications. But, then, maybe we would start to experience the spiritual fire we need here.

No one is prosecuting you. It's just Christians in America think anything less than 100% compliance to their demands equates to them being persecuted.
There are places in the world where people are literally being killed for being Christian, but you think you're being persecuted because gay people exist

Not all Christians are like this because most of my friends are Christian and they're pretty chill but there's a certain element who wants to go around spewing bigotry and then have the nerve to pretend to be persecuted when society pushes back

If they're involving kids then yeah by all means get involved but what consenting adults do is their own business

Why would you ask Dude this question? Ask the Lord, ask the Bible, check your conscience.

The rule I grew up with was to be strict with ourselves and lenient with others. I certainly would not take my kid to something so lascivious and sinful as that, but then I wouldn't go to anything that is "Christmas" themed. I have a very strict attitude towards this holiday for myself, but I don't tell others what to do. I was not called to be a witness against the evils of Christmas, I was called to be a witness of Jesus Christ and His resurrection and Lordship.

This holiday is all about the pursuit of fleshly lusts and worshipping things other than the Lord. A Christian themed drag show with kids present may be one of the ugliest examples, but does it really matter if you miss the mark by a foot or a mile?

Well I answered his question and I will tell you the same thing anything involving kids is inappropriate but but there was an individual on this thread advocating for employers firing people just for their sexual orientation
All law abiding citizens deserve to work and support themselves

I follow God because of Him, not because His followers can be good, bad, idiots.

From the first post I read of yours I thought there's someone looking for an excuse to be what he is.

I don't need to check with someone else when it comes to following my conscience. If I know something is wrong I don't need to see what someone else thinks.

Idol worship is when you make sacrifices for something other than God. When people choose to live their life not in service to the Lord but in service to their flesh, their lusts, and their pleasures, then what difference does it make?

Basically you're saying people deserve to be jobless and homeless because they're gay.
Really feeling the Christian love here
Are all jobs ran by Christians who may would have a conscious reason against hiding an unrepentant sinner?

Kinds of a stretch there.

Christianity doesn't require interest. It requires faith and obedience to the Word of God, the Bible. The very reason we should be hard on sin is because the eternal destination of Heaven and Hell hang in the balance. What would you do if you knew a train filled with people was heading to a broken bridge but you had time to warn the conductor to take a right at the last turn off. Would you say anything? Would you try to prevent it?

Do you understand what Hell is? Eternal damnation of torment for the God hating sinners.

But, it is right for a restaurant to refuse service to customers who have the "wrong" ideology or thought process. After all, we must discriminate against the discriminators.

This is the mindset we are up against people. Civil rights and freedom mean something much different to the Left than they do to the Right. And, there is no meeting in the middle on this. Some things can be compromised. This cannot. So, we have to either win over the American public, or we are going to have to fight.

When maniacs have too much power, sometimes that's the only choice left.
I believe places like Apple should discriminate from doing business with China due to the CCP ideology and agenda.

Well power is the only thing they understand as what the early American Christians found out with the Barbary Ottoman Islamic pirates. They tried to negotiate, pay the ransoms, and tried their best to settle it peacefully. But when asked why they were capturing our ships and selling our men, women, and children into slavery they answered.

In 1786, the Confederation government sent Thomas Jefferson and John Adams to negotiate with the Tripoli to prevent future hostilities.

When they asked the envoy the reasoning concerning the hostile actions, ambassador Sidi Haji Abdrahaman responded:

“It was written in their Koran, that all nations which had not acknowledged the Prophet were sinners, whom it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave; and that every mussulman who was slain in this warfare was sure to go to paradise.”​

Today the Marxist demands everyone acknowledge the power of the State. The power of the government over your human rights, your children, your healthcare, your money, your life.

Jefferson understood that talking was going to get them no where and America began to build a Navy, eventually defeating the pirates and Islmaic held areas like Tripoli (From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli) got the song stuck in your hear now lol.

For the truth protectors they must always protect “words”. The Marxists wish to redefine words. For example, discrimination is now suppose to be the speech shut down word. Utter discrimination and your suppose to shut up. When in reality it is healthy to discriminate on many things. We actually have to for survival. We do not get away from reality. If reality says reproduction and the advancement of civilization doesn't happen by Homosexual through biological design then it is nothing to promote.

Same goes for anything in sexual immorality. The government should not premote it and if they are a danger to national health or the life of another then there should be laws against it. For example, we need to do away with no fault divorce.

Just keep remoting truth. Help people who do not study history connect the dots. Nothing new under the sun. Like the Roman Empire they wish to go back to a one world order.
