it is the context of sin that we are born into and grow in The fallen world. That why we have birth defects. War, suffering, and sickness. Sin did it.

I think that's why the Texas House and Senate stopped pursuing the path of medical abnormality/mutation in that it would lead back to them themselves not being more strict on those regulations and being guilty of those mutations.
 
If that's the case, couldn't it be said then that the KJV gives them justification too? The words are exactly the same.

I don't use the inclusive Bible, they do but I agree it pretty much is the same they just think it is saying something different than me and you do. It's no different than with other Scriptures where one thinks soon,at hand ect. means one thing while others think it means something else.
 
Seeing the debauchery of the June Pride Parades on the local news, certain scriptures we might keep in mind.

“The look on their faces testifies against them; like Sodom they proclaim their sins, parading them openly. Woe betide them! They have earned the disaster that strikes them.” (Isa 3:9, REB)

The wicked do not care about the LORD; in their pride they think that God doesn't matter. (Ps 10:4, GNB92)

Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, surfeit of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy. (Ezek 16:49, RSV)

When pride comes, then comes disgrace; but with the humble is wisdom. (Prov 11:2, RSV)

The fear of the LORD is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate. (Prov 8:13, RSV)

Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. (Prov 16:18, RSV)

Now I, Nebuchadnez′zar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven; for all his works are right and his ways are just; and those who walk in pride he is able to abase. (Dan 4:37, RSV)

For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, fornication, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a man.” (Mark 7:21-23, RSV)

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, is not of the Father but is of the world. (1John 2:16, RSV)
See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. That doesn't mean totally ignoring evil, as most people assume, but to recognize evil and distance yourself from its influence, even though you're in the midst of it.
 
Some one gets saved who was lgbtq .. they don't always immediately stop being like that. Alot do stop straight away..but if they don't.. doesn't mean they weren't converted. It takes time to break away from sins.

Of course the Holy Spirit will lead them away from lgbtq once converted, but it's no guarantee they won't be like that as a converted person.

Repentance means to forsake all known sin. For a person to continue in a Gay lifestyle and profess to be saved is an oxymoron.
'The Bible clearly states that the homosexual will not inherit eternal life. 1 Cor 6:9-10.

Repent at salvation is a 'change of mind, heart'.... not a set of good works. Good works aren't part of eternal salvation. Jesus saves the sinner not by their merit.

'God be merciful to me, a sinner' as the centurion said.

Repentance is as much a work of God as it is of man. It is not a 'good work'.
The word of God still stands, practice homosexuality and you will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
 
Yes, but Lesus loves them all deeply and longs to bring to Eternal Life.

Yes, but they hate God deeply and long to corrupt Earth (Rom. 1:22-32),
so let us resist their evil rather than acquiesce (Jam. 4:7),
as the NT teaches and Charlie Kirk shared.

These people r only hurting themselves , they r not hurting me so it's not my place to hate them or punish them . As long as they r alive there is a chance that one day they may repent of their ways and turn to God . If they don't repent they shall perish along with all the other sinners who do not repent from their sins .

No, these people are hurting society, so it is our place to love them by converting them or curing them,
just as we should do regarding heterosexual fornicators.
Just as our faith and love should be salt and light for society,
their atheist and hateful perversions are dark and corrupt children.
 
And Texas is being taken over by Islam. Not a coincidence.

Yes, the entire world is being conquered by atheist Marxism and anti-Christ Islam.
Pray the Christian MAGA movement in America is successful in its attempt to stave off Armageddon for a while,
even though Scripture indicates a (nuclear?) holocaust (abombination?) is inevitable (Matt. 24:14-22).

Yes, both they and heterosexual fornicators should pray for the gift of celibacy.
 
People of the world like to exalt themselves.

Just like the 1960's counter culture movement, selfish, rebellious, the Woke movement hateful, and mean spirited.

LGBTQ+ movement also wants to exalt themselves so they become something that is not of main stream society to do that like it is the in thing and the wave of the future.

Crying about people who do not accept them all the while belittling them and trampling on their freedom to be able to choose what they do and don't want.

The transgender scene does the same thing which has nothing to do with wanting to have sex but to be different than mainstream society.

They become transgender to confirm their attitude that they can be whatever they want and live how they want so back off and it makes them feel special.

Which the way American people act made them feel insecure, and have low self esteem, so they desperately want to exalt themselves and believe they can have any reality they want.

It is also why there are so called Karens as they lash out at a society that they view as not caring about their feelings and are selfish and arrogant.

Look on the internet which the Americans fight, belittle, exalt, and critique, more among the Americans and the world.

They have more divisions than any other nation.

If the Republicans say we like oxygen the Democrats will put a bag over their head.

Fight for the sake of fighting to exalt themselves.

Daniel 11:36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
Daniel 11:37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
1 Timothy 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

It is also what the government wants so in due time then can go to a new form of government and want the gays and transgenders for the system to come.

Which they will not allow a man and woman to come together for population reduction and because they believe they will evolve to be spiritual.

The new age christianity the religion of the antichrist.

They want the people to believe they can be whatever they want and have any reality they want which the new age believes mind creates reality more than real than the world of sense

Many believing we live in a simulation which a simulation can be manipulated like a world on a computer.
 
What is the name of the version of the Bible that is being discussed? I want to read about the translation concerning Sodom.

[Gen 19:1-5, 11, 24-25 KJV] 1 And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing [them] rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground; 2 And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night. 3 And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat. 4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, [even] the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter: 5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where [are] the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them. ... 11 And they smote the men that [were] at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door. ... 24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; 25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
 
So, who gets to designate what months should emphasize officially, state governors or the President or Congress?
Well,
Tradition in this case.
June is the most traditional month for having a wedding.

Tennessee is also the buckle on the Bible Belt .....
Nashville hosts several publishers in town. Thomas Nelson, Cokesbury/Abingdon press, Lifeway, the 7th Day Adventists, and the Church of Christ....it's a long list of Christian publishers and printers....even the Gideon's HQ is there in Nashville. All those bibles in hotel rooms gotta get there somehow....lol

Then there's all the Christian music publishing....a whole nudder world there too. Your hymnal books are published there with Judson being a church from Nashville who put music in your hymnal....LOTS of religious roots in Tennessee from one end to the other. (Long skinny state)

Most Churches and Country Clubs in TN are booked during June with weddings....so are most caterers and florists. There's a REASON that most golf courses do not book their big invitational or member/guest extravaganzas during June.

So....
The gubbner signing an executive order? Kinda a little too little too late IMHO. He is kinda a tool....(I used to live there)

He could come out with all of this a LONG time ago...especially when it was hotly contested. But he's a bit of a schmuck who waits till those who put him in the gubbners mansion tell him what to do. But truth be told....he don't really hang out in the governor's mansion much. He has his own house he prefers. And the Governor's mansion is maintained by State prisoners. Big iron fence around it....meh....it was another big fuss for the fence.

Metanoia means to change one's mind/heart it has nothing to do with turning away from sin.
