gay adoption

[Ancilla]

I agree. Children are a priority. Unfortunately, the funding from government often reflects the attitude of some parents toward their own children--feed 'em, house 'em, send them on their way.

I think they reflect the attitude that all a politician needs to do to win over Christians is to say that they're pro-life and they don't support gay rights. I wish Christians would make it harder for candidates to win their support. Unfortunately, I've heard too many Christians say that they don't like paying taxes so they favour Christian positions provided it's someone else who's making the sacrifice.

Heterosexuals create other heterosexuals. Gays create nothing. Gays need to recruit. They are dangerous.

Ancilla,you need to stop looking at statistics and figuring out everything in your own understanding.If you fervantly seek God you will see in no way should this ever happen, for those that lead themselves to death in this homosexual lifestyle should in no way be able to experience the blessing of raising a child.This is absoultely heretical and you try to rationlize wickedness with other wickedness.Two wrongs dont make a right so quit trying to use one part to justify the other

Look, I'm not saying that I like the idea of two people of the same sex raising a child. What I'm saying is that when there are children who have needs to be met and no one other than a gay couple are willing to meet them, I think it's wicked to ignore what is good for a child. Now, there was a time when I was less educated that I might have thought that children with special needs are better off in an overcrowded foster home than with a same sex couple. But I now know that God will hold me accountable for what I know. In... the 90s sometime, when Rosie O'Donnell wanted to adopt a child from a Florida foster home she wasn't allowed to because she's a lesbian. The average Florida foster home at that time had five children in it. And I work with children with special needs, I know they need a lot of attention. Not that all children in foster care have special needs, but special needs such as reactive attachment disorder are very over represented among foster kids. And like I said before, if Christians were adopting foster kids on a regular basis this wouldn't be an issue.

This whole issue reminds me of the parable of the Good Semeritan. The victim was passed over by two respectable Jews before a sub-par Jew, a Semeratin, took pity on him. Then Jesus said that the Semiritan was the victim's neighbour. When Christians pass by someone in need that's one thing, but it's not ok for us to stand in the way of those who are trying to help them, even if they're not living according to God's will.

What bothers me about what you wrote is that you imply (as many other Christians do) that homosexuality is the worst sin there is. If that's the case why is it mentioned so few times in the Bible? Now, I (as I have stated many times before) that I don't deny that the Bible says it's wrong, but if it's the worst sin there is, why didn't Jesus spend all of his time talking about it? Why do we pass over the Gospel and just focus on the first chapter of Romans and those verses in the Old Testament? Jesus did however, talk about divorce. Should divorce people not be allowed to have children?

There's one thing I hate more than homosexuality and that's them adopting chidlren.

 

[MyBagsRPacked]

Hate is such a strong word. When I was growing up, that word was banned in my house.
As children we learned to say we "Greatly disliked the things

someone

said/did." lol
Although I agree that homosexuality is just wrong, I refer you to my bible quote below

There's one thing I hate more than homosexuality and that's them adopting chidlren.

 

[MahogonySnail]

If you don't hate homosexuality or adoption by homosexuals then you can't love God. Both are strong words. Follow Christ not the Dalai Lama.

 

[charisenexcelcis]

God loves the sinner, of which I am one of the worse. He loves the homosexual, the prostitute, the occultist. He loves the drug addict and the porn addict. He loves me and has brought me out of darkness and into his marvelous life. Even now, he deals with me with patience and grace that goes beyond my understanding.

Romans 1:22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

I do not want people like this raising children. I am also led to understand that there is a shortage of children to adopt.

Not surprising considering so many unborn are killed.

amen greatkraw.

 

[Kathleen]

great post greatkraw!

agree 100%

Now, I'm no adoption-ologist (yes, I am aware that word probably doesn't exist) but as long as the kid is being brought up in a loving and stable family, why should you care if they're gay or not? I have plenty of friends who are brought up in a house with straight parents and they have plenty of problems. Substance abuse, getting drunk every weekend, failing most classes among other problems.

 

[timjim]

God destroyed Sodom and Gamarah for sins like the gays. So ya, there is no way God will ever accept gays adopting. We live in a very twisted world.

 

[Kathleen]

i agree timjim - good post

jordon - although they may have been brought up in a 'loving; home. the fact is they are also being brought up in a sinfull, home, that is most likey , unrepentant. this is no good way for a child to be brought up.

God Bless
Kathx

 

[MajorMesser]

So since they are being brought up in your definition of 'sin', then they are destined to burn forever with no chance of repentance forever and ever, correct?

What you have just said, is that a family with gay parents who's kid(s) manage to be good, don't abuse drugs, don't drink or drive recklessly, are LESS MORAL than a family with straight parents who do each of those things and more?

 

[Kathleen]

either u did not understand what i am saying, u are adding to it, or u are twisting my words - take ur choice, 1 , 2 or 3?

i said a child is bieng brought up ina household of sin.
i never once said they were less moral...
but if a persons parent ( is gay ) and is unrepenttant, he/she shows no respect for God or Gods laws.
if a child is brought up like that, that child is probably not going to follow the path of the Lord .

 

[MightyLionOfJuda]

If that's the case why is it mentioned so few times in the Bible? Why do we pass over the Gospel and just focus on the first chapter of Romans and those verses in the Old Testament?


well God calls it an abomination and maybe you should study a little bit about what led to the destruction of the city of sodom.It is an abomination,it is absolutely disgusting and intollerable by God.Jesus didnt need to mention it because he came to address the heart of man which is what leads to these wicked acts.You need to really study your bible more because what led to people raping children in the city of sodom was sexual immorality.satan will always take you farther than you want to go and when the sexually impure generation grows tired and weary of the same thing they will become more sick and twisted and continually progressing to new levels of wickedness.You obviously have no idea how sin works ,do you?If you feed your flesh than you will reap destruction but if you feed your spirit you will reap life.You need to seriously consider what you are supporting ,look beyond what you see at this present time and look to what it will eventually evolve into.The devil always has an excuse to justify sin but like I said previously,two wrongs dont make a right.Didnt your mother teach you that?

Isn't sin immoral? Bring brought up in a household of it, logically would mean a lack of morality. Therefore, I did none of the three.

 

[MightyLionOfJuda]

I will say this again just to clarify,when this sexually impure generation grows tired and weary of the same old thing,their perverse nature will increase to even more radical extremes of wickedness and then to violence.The violence will come and in no way should any of Gods real children accept the counterfeit lies of satan.The homosexual lifestyle is knowingly rejecting Gods authority and way of running the universe.God open the eyes of the blind that they may see the truth of you and the true love of God and not the love of the flesh

 

[MajorMesser]

Oh great Reason! Open the eyes of the ignorant so that one day, maybe we will all be able to live in peace and harmony, without boundaries dividing humanity!

See? I can do it too.
