Oh, thanks! :)
But I don't have the link anymore :(
So what did you say about me? And does it appear any where in my profile so I can see it myself other than the link?
There I gave you a rep find it under 'notifications' and take note what page it is found.

Are the LGBT not allowed to have the same rights as other Americans?

The church calling their lifestyles sinful has not changed and I do not hear LGBTers asking for the right to change the dogmas of the church. They might wish to not be screamed at: You are going to hell!!!! To ad nauseum.

Somehow people think America is a church or must abide by church dogmas. Let the gays have their rights in America, your church does not have to marry them or accept their lifestyle.

Did you know the Bible doesn't say that God loves the sinner and hates the sin? Someone else said that. I believe it to be true because I know He loves us, but He doesn't love us all the same. Those that are His, He loves dearly. Though He loves everyone, it is a different kind of love, if that makes sense.

It would be like saying a man loves all women the way he loves his wife. Not true.

I also have to say that I am so disgusted by the blatant homosexuality going on that it irritates me how often it comes up. The thing is that homosexuality is vile and disgusting and so long as a person continues in their sin and are unrepentant, they are not covered up in the righteous blood of Jesus Christ and thus are not viewed the way the justified are viewed.

Yes, we are to love them and not mistreat them. I agree wholeheartedly. Yet, if a same sex couple asked me to photograph their wedding, I'd refuse.

I think that there is a grave danger in Christians today who are so afraid to appear unloving that they are willing to accept a whole lot of lies fed to them by the mainstream media, so afraid of being called a hate monger that they refuse to stand for the truth. Maybe it's time we stood for the truth again and stopped seeing equality and popularity. Jesus wasn't loved by His generation. He was chased from His own hometown and none there would listen to Him. Why should we expect to be accepted and loved for standing for the same things He stood for when He was rejected, betrayed, abused and murdered?
amen sister mystdancer50 amen.

much love and god bless

It is discrimination as well as it should be. We all discriminate. Don't you discriminate between a child molester and one that isn't? I mean which one would you drop off your child to watch? Yes we love them caring for their souls, but we are to be wise and discriminate and act accordingly.
amen brother crossnote amen.

much love and god bless

They have the same rights as everyone ... but they want special rights which most Americans oppose.

same rights

The Mormons church/boyscouts might differ with you.

who is screaming? Poor caricature.

what screaming ? Lol

they do not have the same rights they are beginning to get them in some states.

if America turns against the church then we go back to home churches.

Where is the sign in America that says christians only?

christians are being martyred in other parts of the world and it is not by homosexuals

you guys get all amped up over homosexuals , I just do not get it.

Got a complaint about how the Church feels about homosexuals ... take it up with God since He inspired the Bible and Church.

No one who reads their Bible can honestly have a question about sexual perversions.

Matthew 9:11
When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

Matthew 9:13
But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

John 8:7
When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”

1 John 1:8
If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.

John 8:44
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

John 14:6
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Cherry picking a few out of context verses will not save an UNREPENTANT sinner
all sinners can be saved
under conditions

did you know there are conditions for being saved?
yes...

if they repent, want to stop , know they are wrong,
repent means STOPPING the sin, never doing it again, etc

Jesus came to call the sinners to REPENTANCE (change)

He forgives and you must forget the sin

stop it
repent
change mind
change life
walk in a new life

1 Cor 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
1 Cor 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
1 Cor 6:11 And such were some of you:
but ye are washed,
but ye are sanctified, (consecrated to a new way of life)
but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.


John 8:11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her,
Neither do I condemn thee:
go, and sin no more.

Exo 34:7 Keeping mercy for thousands,
forgiving iniquity
and transgression and sin,
and that will by no means
clear the guilty; (those who kep doing it)
visiting the iniquity
of the fathers upon the children,
and upon the children's children,
unto the third and to the fourth generation.

To be forgiven, you have to ADMIT IT WAS WRONG
I have never seen an LGBT ever ever ever ever ever admit they were wrong
therefore they are not forgiven.

So if god had a different view on homosexuality, you would too?
