Christians response to gay marriage?

So, how about people who raise their children knowing God's word but their child decides to live a homosexual lifestyle?

I'm fairly certain most people (Christian or not) don't raise their "children to be gay".

The Word of God is written in proper English. There are men and women who don't have english as their mother tongue, yet they understand it perfectly. If english is your first language and you fail to understand the King James Version, then you should be utterly ashamed of yourself as a native english speaker.

But then, the OP''s understanding of literacy is probably compromised, too! Probably anti-education, too. I'm just glad I am smart enough to recognize what I do know, from what I do not! So please feel free to carry on with your insults and ignorance. There are none so blind as those who cannot see!

Yes you do.


You have studied and speak 7 languages, but have you ever stopped to take time to study/hear/speak the Holy Spirits language?
He will make it understandable, if you HUMBLY seek and ask Him to do so...
To them who have ears to hear...

No! KJV English is literally a different version of English, I'm also fluent in French, but when in Moncton New Brunswick. I could barely understand the French. I thought it was me, but I met a man from Lyon, France, who taught accounting at the French University there, We had a good laugh, in French, about what happened when he started teaching there. He taught the first class in French & no one said a word. At the end of the class he asked the students if they understood him(He spoke beautifully, my grandmother was from France, I know a good accent!)

One student finally volunteered, in English, that not one of those native NB French speakers understood him, he taught the test of the year in English, and went west. Because it was such a different language! My grandmother did the same! She came to Canada as a war bride who lived near the front lines during WWI, married to my Canadian soldier grandfather. They were going to settle in Quebec, but she couldn't understand the French, so they settled in Alberta!

Instead, KJ English or early modern is several steps removed from contemporary English. In the 1960's, it was proper British spellings and blackboards full of grammar, for me. My writing style is good, but more formal than most people. I am a product of what I was taught. And second person singular was not taught. I don't know how to check if the verb endings are correct in early moden English! Nor all those archaic words nor the obsolete ones. I will never hear anywhere, plus the fact that the KJ translators tried to parallel Greek word order, which uses cares for importance. Meaning it is actually very bad English in many places. As my Greek professor used to say, " the receiving language is more important than the sending language!" I much prefer Koine Greek, which I have learned and understand, .than the old dead language of Early Modern English!
In fact, because I have such an extensive understanding of grammar in English, French, German. Greek etc, I am humble enough to admit when I do not have a good understanding of something I was never taught. Even Spurgeon, from the 18th century is hard for me to read fluently! Why would I be expected to understand a period of English I have never studied, and don't want to learn?

The fact is, most people who read KJ English, don't really understand it, which is why so many bad doctrines have been created from one misunderstood verse. or another! The fact is, illiteracy or low education levels means a lot of people don't undetstand modern English. So, it's normal for them not to understand half of what they read, in early modern or contemporary English. So when they say they understand it as well as modern English they probably do, cause they don't understand or read modern English! I would love to include you & all the KJV Onlyists to an exam. Multiple Choice, asking for definitions from words in the KJV, as well as simple grammar questions. I bet more than half would fail, proving they don't really understand the English, but basically guess/bluff their way through!

The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things. How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

update in CA at our elementary school a Kindergartener is being raised as Transgender. I'm sure it was the child's choice(t.i.c)

t.i.c.?

tongue in cheek

Angela,

You are probably more literate than the rest of us if you speak seven languages fluently.
Perhaps you would be best sticking with the TR if you read and comprehend Koine Greek better than Elizabethan English?
Few Greek seminary professors can speak Greek fluently, so that would put you one up on James White and his critical text friends.

I have posted a link for you below. This pastor and a few others put their rudimentary modern Greek to use in Cypress on a mission trip to lead Greek speaking nationals to Christ using their own Bible. He was a featured preacher in a documentary called, Going Back to the Greek.
He addresses the archaic words of the KJV in this sermon and a few other places with other details. I think this was a Sunday sermon, so it's fairly basic.

Archaic Words of the KJV

Wow! Just wow!

So what happened before 1611 AD? No KJV, for 1600 years! Those people ignorant? God just ignored them? No one was saved, or served God?

If you want to ask what language God used with his writers. You would be better off knowing Hebrew and Aramaic, and Koine Greek! Those are the real languages the Bible was REALLY written in. Early Modern English is a dead language. It would be forgotten if it were not for 2 factors:

1, the KJV
2. Shakespeare but he is easier to understand, because he used proper English wird order, unlike the mixed up KJV!

What about the billions of people who don't speak English now, or in the past!?

It really boogled my mind to hear what a terrible cult you are trapped in! So sorry for your ignorance! If you want to read the KJ version, I say do it! The best Bible is one that is read. I figure my 60 times through various English translations, French and German, as well as many times through the Koine Greek for the NT, some LXX and books of the OT gives me a bit of an edge over 16th century, badly translated text,!

This place just keeps on getting stupider! Or is that just a reflection of what is going on in our 21st century culture!? Truly as dumb as "woke culture!" Not saying that about the KJV. But the Onlyists who come up with nonsense like 15th. English is the Holy Spirit's language!! Like God doesn't know every single language that has existed, exists and will exist. Such a small god you serve!

I had 4 children. The boys wanted to be boys, my daughter loved being a girl! (Meaning she would play street hockey with her big brothers who were 9, 11, & 17! But, she always had a dress, pinafore and fancy hat on!) But she was never an aggressive athlete like the boys, although she became a junior figure skating competitor.

Now, I have 7 grandchildren. Two of the girls are super aggressive. The 16 month old can do tricks on a scooter, balance and glide on a run bike, and walked across a balance beam, which made every patent and coach stop & watch her. But, she likes being pretty and feminine, loves pink and frilly dresses.

I'm not saying the outside matters, as much as the heart. But if both parents give their children love, and discipline, they won't be running off to become alphabet soup!

We all decide for ourselves who we choose to love or hate.
Should believers love Adolf Hitler?
Should we love Jim Jones?

I want the Bible to tell me who I should love or hate.

I don't put people through a screening process be fore I tell someone how to be saved according to the Bible. Occasionally, there's a flamboyant type that goes out of their way to let me know that they are out of the closet and despise evangelical Christians, as the one who approached me this summer.
I was hoping that it wasn't too late and still witnessed to him. Is that not more love than these people show?

My christian family and all children should be protected from those in the recording. They should be taught to avoid them. These are violent men and women. I'm glad that my Dad taught me as soon as I was old enough to know who these kind of people were that I should avoid them. That is a good Bible lesson too. See Genesis 19 and Judges 19.

I love my personal enemies, but the enemies of God are another matter.
If there is someone who is clearly an enemy of God, I do not want to make the mistake of loving them.
Why should a believer not love those who are enemies of God?

"Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies."
Psalm 139:21...

What can happen if we do not understand this important teaching?

2 Chronicles 19:2
The preacher confronted a pretty good king and Christian for the one very wicked thing that he did. He became allied with another king who did much evil, King Ahab. The preacher Jehu told him what God had decided about him.

"Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the LORD? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the LORD."

Aussie,

I'm taking time to share this with you because like so many others, you probably never had a local pastor or one on TV teach you this. They likely never taught this either as most have never heard exactly what it takes to go to heaven. This is the message that I shared with the young man this summer.
Good day Aussie. ☕🙂👍

The meme asks a qestion; here are some responses:


"If you don’t attend, you should question calling yourself “Christian” - it seems pretty hypocritical. If we wish to be loved unconditionally - we must also love unconditionally. I cannot imagine abandoning my daughter on her wedding day."


"I’m being IN the wedding "


"I’ll be walking her down the aisle!!!!"





"I wish this wasn’t even a debate. Not only would I attend I would help her plan and support them both!"


"Yes, I will. Just because we don't Sin the same, it makes neither of us better or worse than the next person. "



Many of these comments are said by those who profess to be Christians. Is it true, and is it biblical? Are these responses in line with what God said?

I would like to know what would be your biblical response to this meme. Please support your answer with scripture. Not opinions.

Thank you

A christian's response to gay marriage is this: Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets. Let them be only thine own, and not strangers’ with thee. Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth. Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love. And again: Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways. For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table. Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD. And again, who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.

Would people please stop spreading videos from this false preacher?!
