The Homosexual Threat

[jinx]

Do you realize that the only hate crime you can commit in America is against a homo.

Hate crimes add an element of bias to traditional crimes—and the mixture is toxic to our communities.

Crimes of hatred and prejudice—from lynchings to cross burnings to vandalism of synagogues—are a sad fact of American history, but the term “hate crime” did not enter the nation’s vocabulary until the 1980s, when emerging hate groups like the Skinheads launched a wave of bias-related crime. The FBI began investigating what we now call hate crimes as far back as World War I, when the Ku Klux Klan first attracted our attention. Today, we remain dedicated to working with state and local partners to prevent these crimes and to bring to justice those who commit them.

And which they had truly believe that they were doing the work of the Lord. But they were so blinded from the truth that they couldn't see that hatred isn't a fruit on the Tree of Life. So if anyone that you see raising up hatred towards anyone, remember that they aren't apart of God.

Matthew 7
15 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.

Matthew 3:10The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.

Matthew 12:30 “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. 31 And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32 Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.

Matthew 11:29Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

The age to come is the golden age which we now reside in. And if we chase away anyone from knowing God by telling them that they are a bunch of perverts by using the scripture as your defense, it is called Blasphemy against the Holy spirit. It is because a person is using the words (tool) of the Holy Spirit that suppose to be use for gathering, is being use for scattering. And when someone uses this tool for that purpose (slanderer), Is preventing the Holy Spirit from doing it's job.

Matthew 12:13Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out and it was completely restored, just as sound as the other.

Matthew 8:16When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick.

This is an outrageous misrepresentation of Peter's vision and the words spoken by the Lord. You seem to be going to great lingths to defend what you know God had condemned.

 

[didymos]

what is the differance,
Romans 5:13(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
Romans 5:14Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
Romans 5:16And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.

death still occured did it not? Death of what? Spirit of god or flesh? even though flesh eventually died, and why, becuase it ios not whole? Man lost part of what was originally created in man, and that was the breath of life that God had breathed into Adam? today is restored if we will just beleive, we will see and thus recieve and choose not to harm anyone and listen the Holy Ghost and be led as Christ was led in Love for God his Father. Why are we focused on sinful behavior does this not cause more sin entrapment? Just curious because I see what sowing to does
Galatians 6:8For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.

Sorry, but I have absolutely no idea what all of that has to do with my comments.

 

[oldhermit]

Well the question should be the other way around; because I'm bringing up verses that y'all seem to have ignored. You can't be picking out your favorites and leaving out others favorites. When Jesus hand Peter to eat a platter of unclean animals, represented all the ones that came to Him, that He has washed away their sins, so that their sins will not be recognize because they believe. But you all keep on forgetting what the second command was, it says to love your neighbor. But when you judge someone isn't showing mercy but vengence on them that you don't even know. But you know what God will take you up on your word, and see the group of Witch-hunters that you belong to and see if you are btrue to your title, by seeing if you will chase after all the witches like the Liar, lusters, and the selfish and etc..But if you only stir up trouble for one sect then that will let God know that you are prejudice with that sin but not because you are doing it in His name and which you are just using His name for your vain activities. So God knows how to judge.

This is an outrageous misrepresentation of Peter's vision and the words spoken by the Lord. You seem to be going to great lingths to defend what you know God had condemned.

 

[BeanieD]

I don'tknow about others, but my opinion is that as Christ teaches us, we are to love the sinner and hate the sin. So many don't know how to seperate the two. I have met and befri9ended gays, they are people too.
But their lifestyle is what God abhorrs. This is why Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed, and why it is said in scripture; 1 Corinthians 6:9 " Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." They can CHOOSE to make a difference in their lives or not. Only God can help them get through it. Blessings

Luke 6:37
“Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
Mark 16:16Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

John 3:17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

I guess the homosexuals will never know these verses since we scared them off by telling them that they are going to burn forever? They had suffered long enough like the Taxcollectors and Prostitutes, oh yeah! Why we not trying to attack the prostitutes? I guess they are doing our communities a favor.

Didn't the Apostle Paul run off all sinners that fell into the group he mentioned in 1 corithians 6:9 ?????

"Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Do not be decieved. neither fornicators, nor idolators, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners shall inherit the kingdom of God."

Nobody will find themselves in the lake of fire because YOU, or WE, scared them off! If you find yourself in the lake of fire, it is because of the choices that you made. You may have influenced, but ultimately, we our responsible for our own eternal fate.

I ask you,, is the Apostle Paul guilty of judging and scaring off sinners,, or could it be that your understanding of "judging" is completely wrong?

Let me ask: If you see a child being raped,, do you make a "judgement" that what you are witnessing should be stopped,, or do you turn the other way refusing to acknowledge what you seen, lest you be guilty of Judging another?

We can Judge behavior all day long. We can judge Doctrine all day long.

But,, we are never to judge the salvation of another,, because we don't know all the facts. We can't read the heart. Only God has the whole picture.. So,, I can rightously judge bad behavior. But I can't possibly know if you will change your mind and repent. Therefore,, I cannot judge your salvation.

 

[oldhermit]

Luke 6:37
“Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

Contrary to misguided belief, this verse is NOT an prohibition against judging others. Rather, it is a caution for us to judge according to a righteous standard. Have you not also read the Matt. 7:1-5 and John 7:24 accounts of this same conversation of Jesus recorded in Luke6? If you are going to quote a passage, at least give it the honor of quoting it in its proper context instead of stripping it of its intent for your own design.

Mark 16:16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

Absolutely!
This does not however give one free range to continue in the sin from which they were supposed to have been freed. Paul covers this very well in Romans chapter 6.

John 3:17

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

Indeed. It is also important that Jesus is also the wrathful God of judgment. He came once to offer salvation. He will come again to judge. Jesus did not just come to save us from the guilt of sin but the bondage of sin. Homosexual conduct is an example of one being held in bondage of sin.

I guess the homosexuals will never know these verses since we scared them off by telling them that they are going to burn forever?

I am not the one who said that hell is their fate. God said that!

They had suffered long enough like the Taxcollectors and Prostitutes, oh yeah! Why we not trying to attack the prostitutes? I guess they are doing our communities a favor.

Make no mistake about it. I will speak out just as loudly and just as publicly against prostitution, premarital sex, spousal abuse, or lying. This thread just happens to be about the sin of homosexuality.

Not anymore really. In Lawrence vs TX the supreme court overturned a texas conviction based on an anti-sodomy law, for the most part negating all anti-sodomy laws in the US.

how do you feel about that Naut?

 

[zone]

Would that include occasional cocaine use? It fits your description, the best I can tell.

I can see the argument, that you could care less, but it's not so much about that, it's about helping the person. Part of me wants to not care that the drug user is using, but part of me wants to help him.

Revelation 18
The Saints Rejoice

20Rejoice over her, [thou] heaven, and [ye] holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.

21And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast [it] into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. 22And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft [he be], shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; 23And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. 24And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

how do you feel about that Naut?

Should the state regulate what you do in bed?

 

[oldhermit]

Should the state regulate what you do in bed?

God will call people to answer for it whether the state does or not.

 

[zone]

Should the state regulate what you do in bed?

if you have a 3 year old in your bed, YES.
an animal? YES.

since people appear to be without morality of their own, some basic rules are needed.

Turns out we have age of consent and bestiality laws in some states!

Even animals appear to have some taboos or not. Society wherever it may be also seems to have basic rules that simply come about as a result of a community being present.

I keep hearing that from my muslim friends as well. I suppose if questioned at the pearly gates why I didn't assert as Christians do that my religion is right, and the rest are deceptions or false... I would use my quote from Galileo.
