Chick-Fil-A bowing to the god of mammon!

Whatevs. Believe what you want

For me the point is, up until this corporate decision to cut off funding to Christian charities that benefited greatly from just CF's monies, CF has been boycotted regularly by those committed to the cause and from the LGBTQ community and for years. This started when the family's one man one woman marriage and Christian values commitment made news during the gay marriage reporting of the SCOTUS decision.

Now, if we read the OP article, we see that CF, that stood against the boycott and protests outside their stores when it all began, has now openly conceded to the LGBTQ agenda against the company.

From the OP article: "
Chick-fil-A said Monday that it has stopped donations to several Christian organizations after receiving backlash from LGBT rights activists over the last several weeks.

The U.S. fast food chain said that as it expands, it will no longer donate to the Salvation Army, the Paul Anderson Youth Home, and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, which opposes same-sex marriage. The company’s charity, the Chick-fil-A Foundation, has donated millions of dollars to the two organizations.

“We made multi-year commitments to both organizations and we fulfilled those obligations in 2018,” a representative for Chick-fil-A said, saying the chain will now focus its charitable donations on “education, homelessness and hunger.” " (Note: Those new "charitable donations? Were the categories of those former charities CF supported until 2018. Only those charities upheld Christian values. )

But now, what's changed? What LGBTQ backlash! Because LGBTQ activists found out how this corporation spends its money!
Donating to Christian charities. Which means those groups support Christian values.

That's why LGBTQ is in an uproar now. It isn't new. They've been actively opposing CF since the SCOTUS decision when CF came out and said their family company believes in one man one woman marriage. Now, LGBTQ activists are upset to learn that CF donates its monies to Christian charities who do the same; uphold Christian values.

Only now, CF has thrown down the flag, and conceded to the community of immoral unrepentant sinners. At the expense of Christian charities that address homelessness, hunger, and support education.

Christians know that our metal is tested when we're met face to face by the adversary. That's when we know our worth and if what we were before was just words, or is now dedication and zeal for God.

CF caved to the pressure of organized Hell bound immoral sinners and turned away from God blessed, faith and family values grounded, Christian charities.

They are a shame before God.

Once again, you fail to see the point.

If chick-fil-a NEVER had donated to ANYTHING, that would have been fine and dandy. But they do, and the groups they donated to were sterling, fantastic, groups, that have done immense good for many yrs, but refused to endorse homosexual marriage and transgenderism for Biblical reasons.

So Chick-fil-a was the company that decided to get in the mix morality with business business. NOBADY forced them to.

The SPECIFIC reason they pulled their donation funding from these groups is because they were pressured by hateful homosexual/transgender groups. EVEN, though I personally know many Christians that insisted on supporting them in every way they could, to show that right and wrong is not dictated by the loudest, most wicked voices.

It's very close to giving in to terrorist demands. EVERYBODY knows you don't do that.

Have a chicken sandwich if you like. I just know a lot of people that won't anymore because they also stuck their necks out for this company.

like who?

who do you know that stuck their necks out for this company?

inquiring minds want to know

also, I bet alot of people would cave on terrorist demands if personal loss was involved...like killing someone you love

speaking in generalities is an easy thing to do

but I would still like to know who you know that stuck out their necks...

So what? They have now chosen to give some money to other good groups as well. Why do you insist that they have to forever only give to one set of charities?

Whatevs. Believe and do as you like. Not really worth the effort

I see

so you were just blowing smoke and don't have any proof

I thought so

not really worth the effort

gee

I hope you give other Christians a little more consideration

I wonder if you understand that is almost the same as saying go to he**

Do something that you may not be used to doing. Go back and actually read ONLY what CFA said.

Once again, you fail to see the point.

That's why LGBTQ is in an uproar now. It isn't new. They've been actively opposing CF since the SCOTUS decision when CF came out and said their family company believes in one man one woman marriage.

like I said

I guess I need to dig a foxhole

I would like to see what some people would do if confronted with constant opposition.

judge away. we all have to answer one day

your opinion on this duly noted

No, you just need to stay as you are. Strong in your faith, ready for the slings and arrows that shall not penetrate those wearing the armor of God.

Been there. Never wavered.

Judge away? This thread was started as an invitation to judge. And we are to do so, using righteous judgement, not judging on appearances, but using righteous judgment.
What will Chick Fil A say at the judgment seat? When they abandoned supporting charities that serve the needy , as God told us to do, because they couldn't hack the attack of the enemy? That which roams the earth seeking souls to devour.
How interesting that the one he devoured this go round is a restaurant chain.

did I miss where CF has now said they support gay marriage etc?

the truth is that nothing anyone does anywhere at any time is going to tone the rhetoric and hatred of the activists who either support or are LGBTO

Romans 1

unless they repent, they are going to go to a far less agreeable climate than the one they think they enjoy now

I never dreamed I would see the day when Christians would complain about a company donating money to the poor and to children...……………… simply because THEIR OWN money is not being given to the group/groups the Christians (who have no stake in that money) think someone else's money should go where they have decided it should go.

It’s good they give to homeless ppl. It’s good to donate. But they felt the pressure from the left and buckled under. Ppl stood in line for hours to buy their food when they made their stance for traditional marriage and the left were picketing outside their restaurants. Then they turned around a few years later and not only stabbed them in the back, but slit their throat.

Ellie Goulding is to perform at halftime of Dallas’ thanksgiving day football game. She made the statement that if Salvation Army doesn’t make a donation to a LGBTQ entity, she will not perform. She’s trying to make them override their values and buckle under. I hope they don’t and she doesn’t perform.

Precisely right! Nothing is going to change the LGBTQ activists stance against Christian values. This they will see as a victory. They made a multi-million dollar family owned Christian values business, abandon those values and God committed charities.

Do they think this will back off LGBTQ radicals? Not in the least. Now they'll go for more. And other Christian businesses should be aware that when they have this victory, due to CF's concession to the radical front of those committed to the assault and among the LGBTQ community, those Christophobes will seek yet another victory. As they have and continue to against Christian: Bakers, florists, B&B owners, photographers, etc...

Before the SCOTUS decision came down one of the LGBTQ's own came forth and put that pursuit into a whole new light.
She said, seeking marriage equality wasn't about wanting to get married. It was about destroying the institution Christians thought was theirs by God's ordinance. My paraphrase. Her interview is linked below.




04/13 Homosexual Activist Admits True Purpose of Battle is to Destroy Marriage


What this naive immoral damned sinner doesn't realize is, the marriage certificate issued for a gay couple is a civil contract with the state. They did not gain a victory prior to SCOTUS in 2017, when they were let by some states to enter into a civil union. Marriage is considered a civil union already because of the state marriage license/contract itself.

Furthermore, what she cannot know is, there isn't a homosexual couple today who has entered into that which is considered marriage under Christian tenets. Which is a marriage anointed by God.

So, in short, the agenda failed! Gays are able to get married. OK, that's fine. Equality in the worldly or secular realm. No problem.
However, they haven't done one thing to the institution of marriage according to God's standards.
That means, they failed in the agenda she outlines in that piece.

And when they die, sadly, unless they've repented of their sins, they shall lose far more for all eternity.
The gay pride march stops at the gates of Hell. Or, the outer darkness, depending on which Denominational teaching one ascribes to.

Whaaaaaa..... that's disgusting if that's true.

Not surprising... but definitely sad...
