This is really a very, very unkind thing to say since you have no idea what people do in their personal lives.

It's not just about the gay flag. This is about influence, where it comes from and its affects on things of God.

Acts 16:16-18 - Paul and the Slave Girl
16 Once when we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a female slave who had a spirit by which she predicted the future. She earned a great deal of money for her owners by fortune-telling. 17 She followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who are telling you the way to be saved.” 18 She kept this up for many days. Finally Paul became so annoyed that he turned around and said to the spirit, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!” At that moment the spirit left her.

1) Why do you think Paul was upset?

2) The slave girl is telling all the people around Paul that Paul and his men are servants of the Most High God and are point the way to the Lord to be saved. What is wrong with that?

3) After many days, Paul cast the spirit - who was prompting the girl to say all these things - out of the slave girl. Why did he do that?

4) Do you think he was wrong to do that or not?

PAUL was right on doing that, because she was mocking him, he got fed up with the spirits, mocking GOD,

Wouldn't mind hearing your thoughts on these questions.
my thoughts, I think the way she was saying it, in mocking him, sarcastically, she was mocking God. Paul had enough of that, some times we have to put our faith in action,

I dont know the context of this, but I dont watch that show (saw a
first few episodes and thought it was a bit hammy) . Gay pride flags seem to be everywhere, apparently feb is the designated month to put flags up.

A lot of actors in the film industry are gay or identify as ...because its all about dressing up and not being who you are anyway, so am not surprised. Its everywhere. The actors who play Jesus etc may not even be christian or they may not be what we expect a christian to be. Because its acting. Someone has to play the villain as well but those ppl are usually not villains in real life.

Im sure in times past there were things like you wore a scarlet A if you were an adulterer (Rahab had a red cord) and Jews did have to wear a star of david and now its on the Israel flag anyway.

Everyone is not bowing to the god of sexual perversions. Add all the headlines you want, it does not
make what you said any more true than it was with less headlines. No one stands with Christians?
Yeah. Another falsehood. Your tendency to exaggerate goes well beyond bending the truth.

No one stands with Christians but everyone wants to encourage the sexual perverts and stand with them.
Oops you stated "no one" and 'everyone" most people understand what your general intent is by stating it in the way, others not so much. :)

Dont find it strange, that the world is getting darker, we are the light, we walk in the light, we must stand, and as we stay faithful to God, we will see God 's hand take care of the wicked, he is my shield my fortress whom I will trust. things will turn around,

Apparently The Chosen, Inc. said in a statement: “We ask that audiences let the show speak for itself and focus on the message, not the messenger, because we’ll always let you down.” This is the same old tired argument used by people who want to have their cake and eat it too. You can't divorce the messenger from the message because the message is influenced by the messenger. In the case of The Chosen, both the message and the messengers are compromised.

That means nobody should ever listen to you, either. You want to have your cake and eat it too.

Kinda like Nehemiah saying he is bowing down to sexual perversions, since
he is part of the everyone he claims is doing it. Does that include you as well?


It does not include me. But instead of admitting his error, he doubles down.

Christ is the only one Who is perfect. That is why we preach HIM.

‘The Chosen’ faces calls for boycott after director, actors defend LGBT ‘pride’ flags on set
https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/t...d-lgbt-pride-flags-on-set/?utm_source=popular
He didn't defend the pride flag, HE DEFENDED THE RIGHT TO HAVE IT THERE. You must be weak in faith if you think that little flag is going to convert everyone. 'The Chosen' has won 2 Dove Awards chosen by the fans and I doubt they are going to take their eyes off of Jesus to focus on the flag.
Jesus mingled and dined with crooks and prostitutes(maybe some gay) and was not in fear but I'm sure they got an earful and some converted. It WAS Jesus and in movie some of His Disciples didn't get it either til they saw His love flowing out who needed to hear Him. Was Jesus wrong?? How do you propose to reach sinners?
BTW aren't you the guy in a past Thread when asked who do you like as a preacher, couldn't name anyone?

Exactly, not sure what is so hard to understand about this.

This was on a message board by person named MB I did not book mark it but I think he sums it up perfectly in line with your post.

When you are a full on compromiser then these things will continue to happen.
When you have little-to-no standards (at least biblically) then you’ve got nothing to stand on when these things continue to happen.


When you partner with non-Christians and anti-Christians for a Christian/ministry project then expect more and more of this to happen.
When you add to, change, twist, and pervert God’s pure and perfect Word — in obvious defiance of what His Word says — then anything goes, and this will get worse and worse.


However, as alarming, deceitful, and damaging as all of that is, perhaps the bigger problem and concern is that so many Christians have so little discernment and cannot see what is so obvious right in front of them. Instead, they will continue to praise Jenkins, his mixture of truth and error and his subversion of God’s Word and biblical Christianity.

Will any of his close friends and those who love him call him out? If so, how will he respond? One pattern has been clearly established, he always responds poorly when confronted with his compromises, error, capitulation, etc.

This points to the likelihood that he has been enabled from early on.
