Recently Dolly Parton,owner of Dollywood theme parks came out in support of gays and lesbians,calling Christians who judge them "sinners". The kicker is that Miss Parton makes a rather tidy sum of money off Dollywood which has gospel groups sing regularly there at the park.Many Christians support Dollywood for its family atmosphere.I for one,will not be supporting Miss Parton or Dollywood in the future.And Christians should do the same.Any thoughts?

As it is written and spoken by Apostle Peter in his epistle;

" 'Busybody' are among 'adulteress' and 'murders'."


Did she prophesy about GOD's judgement against gay and lesbian practices and continuing and encouraging, even by so called 'lukewarm' Christian?

Without repentance to their disgusting practices and believe in CHRIST and of the New Covenant to practice for a change to Eternal Life, both as 'equally yoked', will only be accountable to GOD's wrath and judgement to come.

Sorry to say this to you who have posted this thing and want to join them, that you are in the name of LORD JESUS CHRIST, messing with the 'Consuming Fire' of GOD, that can 'non existence' anyone who oppose HIM, who have humbled to make peace with 'sinners', who are continuing to test HIM time and time again as previous Israel.

The Old Covenant is a lesson to all believers of CHRIST, how HE dealt with HIS very own people of Israel as sinners.

Who do we think we Gentiles are 'who only ate the crumbs that fell from the children's table'?

Yet HE made us as adopted and co-heirs with the people of Israel in CHRIST. the 'New Jerusalem of Sarah', in Heaven.

What is going on in this world today is the 'Old Jerusalem of Hagar'. The one, Mother Sarah chased her away from the true inheritance of Abraham, that she will not get any part of it, ever.

You who posted this tread either you want to be against us or want to continue with us to see the true 'Light of this world' and repent while you can, or perish with the rest, by the wrath of GOD on this world first and yet unrepentance, then in the future judgement in hell, as one of the Eternal Home set for anti-CHRIST children of the New Testament/Covenant.

If you read what she said, you'll see she spoke rightly about her own inner demons being cause enough for her not to judge others. What she said wasn't 'I endorse being gay', more like 'I endorse taking the log out of my own eye, rather than looking for a speck in somebody else's'. It's a case of 'better yourself. Somebody else's betterment is their own business'. Here's the direct quote:

The reporter asked ''You have a large gay following. To what do you attribute that?''


Dolly Parton replied ''They know that I completely love and accept them, as I do all people. I’ve struggled enough in my life to be appreciated and understood. I’ve had to go against all kinds of people through the years just to be myself. I think everybody should be allowed to be who they are, and to love who they love. I don’t think we should be judgmental. Lord, I’ve got enough problems of my own to pass judgment on somebody else.''

If you want somebody to judge, point the finger inwards.

Oddly enough it did not stop her from criticizing Christians, did it?

Or you criticizing her, but judgement to condemnation is far different than gentle criticism. Your argument is called equivocation, and it's logically incorrect. The point Dolly Parton is making, as part of the Christian community, is that judgement begets judgement, so it's better not to met it out to others. It's a continuous cycle otherwise, neverending.

I dare say Dolly Parton's fairly gentle urging for others to look inward rather than outward for somebody to judge is much less vicious than the abuse she's receiving for saying it. She's not even criticizing Christians, but saying that to include all people and to judge nobody makes for an inclusive, non judgemental society. She never used the word Christian, she somewhat criticizes jugemental people. Judgemental and Christian are not synonymous.

She's absolutely right, however.
 
ROMANS 1:20-32
20
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And 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.
28 And 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;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who 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.

1st off, a non Christian trying to talk Christian and use what they don't believe against Christians is virtually worthless.
Secondly, the quote doesn't help your argument in the slightest. She is saying EXACTLY what the thread originator, and other Christians, have said. That she Accepts that homosexuals should love who they love. The "love" spoken here by her clearly means relationship and sex with members of the same sex. This sin must be condemned. We need to love the people but NOT accept their sinful behavior.

Are you speaking of me being against you fredjames? I dont understand your point here.Can you explain more? Thanks.
 
Well Pen Ed said it for me human.And no she is not right.Not according to the Bible.
 
Are you speaking of me being against you fredjames? I dont understand your point here.Can you explain more? Thanks.

Yes, with all due respect to you, beloved and as a friend, i am speaking to you, for your own health and maturity in the Kingdom of GOD.

First of all, GOD do not want us to be 'busybodies' about what outsiders are doing or neither allow us to judge, as usually we tend to, in our conversation about them with each other. We already recognize the 'spirit of error' in other Christian and should be wise by the Help of the HOLY SPIRIT, to do our own work well, which was called by GOD, for us to obey HIS 'Every Word'(who is CHRIST of the New Covenant) and do HIS will.

This is clearly the work of the 'spirit of anti-CHRIST' and deceived Miss Dolly Parton and the false victims and her ignorant supporters are in blindness and they cannot understand GOD and come to HIM and they would want to make HIS people look bad. This is partly the work of the 'self' enemy, that is carnality/flesh that war against GOD's HOLY SPIRIT. Christian who do not continue with the HOLY SPIRIT, but remain in carnality/flesh and to it's richest given by satan, tend to because of being satan's slave in disguise to deceive many. To tell you the truth satan is just the initiator, but who is the blinded and in ignorance?

Those who went their own way, away from their true Christian parent or from GOD of the HOLY BIBLE and HIS HOLY SPIRIT through CHRIST. For Biblical Christian this no surprise but an opportunity to preach the Gospel, as a sign of the end days for one to 'stay awake' and 'be allert'.

Please do not bring things of outsiders into this LORD's forum for discussion and in my experience may even turn as an ugly outcome among believers who discuss them and there will be 'lawlessness'. Let this be given to us wisely as an information of the signs of the last days spoken by CHRIST of 'Scoffers' of the Gospel and please never at all this to be a subject of thoughts.

There is evidence here among believers and even me find ourselves in contention, due to having different kind of thoughts of the knowledge of the HOLY BIBLE, that is in between those who still respond in carnal/fleshly way of thinking and there are those who respond in Biblical SPIRIT/spirit way of thinking.

Thank you and be blessed in the name of LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Where is the source material to prove Dolly Parton really did talk about Christians judging them sinners? Thing is too many people jump to conclusions and actually believe what they read in blogs, feeds and forums from strangers without checking the facts, then get all angry or whatever emotion is intended and rush to tell everyone about it on their own forum and news feeds, then of course it kind of grows viral and everyone then believes that the lies and made up statements are facts.

Wow! This is a shocker to me! I didn't realize that about Dolly Parton. In regards to her coming out in support of gays and lesbians and calling Christians who judge them "sinners". Isaiah 5:20 - Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

I have failed to find any quote by Dolly Parton saying that Christians who judge them are sinners.
 
I read this on Newsmax:

Dolly Parton Loves Gay Fans, Calls Out Judgmental Christians

Dolly Parton, who has quite a large following of gay fans, loves them and says she's happy to welcome them to Dollywood. The legendary country star says people should be allowed to be themselves, and Christians should think twice before passing judgment.

"They know that I completely love and accept them, as I do all people," Parton tells Billboard "I've struggled enough in my life to be appreciated and understood. I've had to go against all kinds of people through the years just to be myself. I think everybody should be allowed to be who they are, and to love who they love. I don't think we should be judgmental. Lord, I've got enough problems of my own to pass judgment on somebody else."

She specifically mentioned that Christians who don't accept gay people have their own sin to deal with.

"But as far as the Christians, if people want to pass judgment, they're already sinning. The sin of judging is just as bad as any other sin they might say somebody else is committing," Parton told Billboard. "I try to love everybody."

Thank you for being kind in your response fredjames. But I have to correct you.I am not judging anyone.It is God who judges and he has judged homosexuality as wrong,period. Im not being a busybody I am speaking the truth.If someone commits a murder am I judging to say murder is wrong? No.I am simply stating the truth.So you are wrong in your assumption.
This forum is for discussing the Bible and issues pertaining to it.Some of them will cause strong opinions but thats what discussions are for.If this offends you,you should stay away from these hard discussions.
Lastly there is no other way to understand the Scripture.Homosexuality is wrong and a perversion and as Christians we should lovingly tell people it is wrong and they are in danger of hell.Thats what sharing the gospel is all about.Blessings back to you.
 
There you go Agricola,mailmandan found it.Thanks for posting!

That is not a quote that is Mailmans interpretaion of what she said, reading between the lines, where is the acutal article or video where she says that directly?

Dearly beloved friend, stop for now correcting the LORD of the New Covenant, and rather correct your 'self', regarding what has been spoken of you in 'love' sound doctrine correction.

Still want to justify to the LORD, what in your weakness, you have done?

Then go! straight to miss dolly parton and Preach the Gospel, in order for her and others to be saved from condemnation.

What is the point of showing off yours and my faith about 'outsiders', in a safe place in this BIBLE discussion forum, to 'gossip' about darkness?
