Rejecting Homosexuality in all its Expressions Without Hurting or Judging Others is Vital to Being a Christian in Good Standing

[oyster67]

Never heard of gay days. But today's children are likely to happen on , Toni the Tampon. Yes, that's right. A coloring book promoted by the LGBTQ recruitment arm GLSEN, it features a Transgender message that says, boys menstruate.
No, girls menstruate. But that's the down is up , up is down, reverse mentality in today's world folks.
Sodom and Gomorrah, the sequel.

And just wanted to add this , thinking about the thread title.
What is it but judgment that may hurt someones feelings when we're charged with spreading the Gospel message that informs sinners of their sin, and the eternal punishment that awaits should they not repent?
If being told their sinful lifestyle is wrong and contrary to God's design now saves their soul , what's hurt feelings now compared to suffering in Hell, as some believe, for all time for remaining in those sins till death? Because someone didn't want to hurt that LGBTQ members feelings.

Toni must be one sadly confused T'pon.

Can you imagine the confusion of little boys hearing that nonsense?
It's perverse. And yet, schools will permit this nonsense to be taught to student assemblies but think to ask if a minister can speak to the student body about the Bible, and all sorts of objections rail against that. Because it would be wrong, offensive, etc...
But telling little boys that they get a monthly period isn't. Imagine boys when they go home and what they imagine of their dad, if he's in the home, after that.

And then if the child says anything like that to their parent and the parent asks, where did you get such nonsense from son? The child then answers, we were taught this in school today.

Revelation 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

and I think the two main characters were the same sex, if I recall ??

Oh , I thought you meant gay like happy days, not that perveted kinda gay ..

Learn the difference between living in sin and living in repentance and in the grace of God. All who cherry pick which sinner is worse than another are judging and not showing therefore not receiving mercy.

Never judge by appearance but always with right judgment….God bless all who do. God help all who do not for they are denying the forgiveness of Jesus, Yeshua.

There was once a time when I thought I was the only one.

1 Kings 19
19:9 And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD [came] to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah?
19:10 And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, [even] I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.


God's reply;

19:18 Yet I have left [me] seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.

Ironically, I was going to reply about the remnant factor (which is what I call it) and I just was discussing this last night about a different topic. So that in itself encourages me thanks.

I have seen it just in that I was feeling that way because my friend eventually got married (he was engaged at the time)...and had a similar position and I was like well...I guess I'm alone. I'm sure there's other people, but I don't know of anyone, and sure enough that concept just comes up when I get a little too sad. So another guy from my old church we recently connected and purity at this stage somehow came up, as well as actually getting out and meeting people and how to solve it.

Seemed like a meeting the Lord designed and I do thank him for what (from my limited perspective) are random blessings

I'm thinking cupcakes as bait and fly paper on the table. She lands, her little feeties stick to the paper, and the fairy dust is mine! Mine, mine,mine, muahahhahahahahaha!

Too much?

you could probably collect enough for a year or two

and she would be grateful when you set her free but don't tell her it was you that set that trap

that could work

Monday tuesday...wednesday thursday...Saturday what a day...or does it start on sunday? Not sure.

I only recall the theme song as the show was only rerun in the early 90s when I was born, is it groovin' all week with you? or spendin'?


Oh, and then "meet the flintstones" and "have yourself a merry christmas" or whatever the song titles are.





On topic, is it fair to say that ALL sin separates us from the Lord and this is a highly practical lens for a productive start to a discussion with someone on a particular matter? To focus on the difficulty of sin like a cancer is potentially a good starting place.

I do think that there are distinctions made between sins particularly the eternal sin with no forgiveness possible. Paul made a further distinction between sexual sins being a sin against your own body. I can provide the references if you like.

Either way, it ALL separates to one degree or another, as well as the fact that separation functions differently on a personal level.

that is NOT to say it does not function. Just that some are more or less okay with a bit of separation and some it is agonizing. It seems to depend on the person. So engaging that element is helpful in my experience. I find this conversation to gauge that can be started by using the analogy of a significant other and their preferences/disagreements causing distance.


The Lord isn't a fan of sin. Therefore, an argument such as "I was born this way" (referring to a sinful nature btw), does carry some weight in processing your own weaknesses, and seeing how his strength is made perfect in our weakness.

Anyway, I could expound a few of these approaches if it anyone would like, but typically it's situational with how I interact with people about seeing something as potentially sin, then sin, management, deliverance. It's a process for some and others it's straight from start to finish in a single breath.

Personally, I don't experience the latter, because I rarely focus on it...there have been many moments where I'm like..."oh, I don't struggle with that any more. Cool. Thanks." I usually need at least some processing, and then I occasionally get to a point where I'm at my own end so I just leave it alone with the Lord and sometimes it just disappears and other times, I reanalyze at a later date. It just depends. I don't believe in free rides. Even if you had a "golden ticket" there is a reason why you have that, and you aren't given breath in your lungs to perpetually be in infancy.

It's not precisely meeting the Lord halfway. Maybe 1% or .0000001% (who knows, not I) but that is part of our growth. Note: I am not suggesting that salvation is not a gift or that we get ourselves there. I'm talking about opening the discussion and or sanctification and pursuit of righteousness and sowing and reaping. Some fields you need help to break the soil and others the work that has already begun in you is sufficient to the task, except some are a bit lazy. I certainly have been, and that's where a lot of this comes from ha.

its small wonder gays find it hard to be or become Christian.
ive tried to imagine what its like for them. Even being a parent of a gay child. would i quote the Bible verses that denounce a gay lifestyle? surely not. if i was any sort of decent parent I would accept them for who they are and denounce my own narrow views.

So you would allow them to continue in unrepentant sin, as a life style.

 

[pottersclay]

I agree with you, however the radicalism we see from the gay community took form because of the lack of true Christian love they received throughout the ages.

Now the genie is out of the bottle because they have been empowered by enemies of the Christian faith. It’s going to take an insurmountable amount of love from us to reign in their radical approach in an effort to get them to listen to the gospel.

I agree to disagree....they don't and will not except the truth. They have polluted God's word in there churches, defied Gods judgement.
Wisdom cries in the streets but no man listens. Even Israel was judged for the same thing (not sure where it is exactly) God spared not a one.
These people are blinded by their lust my heart goes out to them but I will never water the word down to spare there feelings.
They have a agenda and it's far from being moral.
So many our caught up in the lifestyle not knowing the why's or wherefores . To promote and teach young children to accept, it's normal, it's common, it's love.....give me a break.

Here's a example that most miss.
Not that I promote this in any way shape or form but gay bashing, the violence that comes against theses people are usually caused by men and women who are non-christian which goes to show you even the carnal man knows there's something wrong with the picture.

 

[pottersclay]

I was hoping you could decide for me.

In all fairness...it's been decided for us already.

Looked him up. Looks like he is ok with people living on unrepentant sin as a life style, and excusing a particular sin life style.

"... narrow views." Interesting word choice.

Matthew 7
7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide [is] the gate, and broad [is] the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
7:14 Because strait [is] the gate, and narrow [is] the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

If we love them, then we will warn them.

"... who they are..." God has a beautiful plan for each and every one of us, and living a sinful lifestyle is not part of it. Homosexuality is not who they are; it is the pit they have fallen into. Throw them the lifeline today, lest they perish for all eternity.

I think it comes from a rebellious demon spirit, abuse, or they take on a spirit where they found a fake acceptance with fake comfort and or seduced by it ..

 

[7seasrekeyed]

oh

so THAT'S where this was going

 

[paisleypanther]

Homosexuality is an abomination to the Lord. If one has received the Lord as Savior, do you not think the Savior has the power to deliver that person from this?

A homosexual person giving their life over to God will not suddenly feel no same-sex attraction. Everyone is tempted by sin and that's something none of us can deny. If a Christian's thorn is same-sex attraction and they aren't giving into temptation, who are we to judge? God can give someone the strength to resist temptation (and He does!) but this does not mean that the person will no longer be tempted.
