Who's got the courage to tell THERE OWN KIDS, son, daughter, what the world is doing is a sin. Satan wants to confuse the sexes. He wants men to look like women and women look like men because he hates man. He hates man because man is made in the image of God. He wants to destroy that image. But if we men act like men and the ladies act like ladies, God will have mercy on us and be with us. Even if the world hates us.

Some Christians knowingly or unknowingly are complicit.

I heard a nine year old girl today say she was transgender.
i saw a poll where something like 20% of millennials identify as gay or trans.

when God gets pushed out, this stuff comes in....

Interesting, but in some ways I am not surprised, so many mega churches sadly just want to fill the pews, these threads on the pride flag on CC have been a real eye-opener for me.
How can Christians defend the indefensible?

"Jesus ate with sinners" is not a defense its an excuse.
In all fairness, there were people getting saved, but so much more could have been done with an outreach. Loud music and purple Lazer shows don't get it done. It's the message given to the lost. Some doubtless got saved from the preaching, but most is one on one. When the Lord's great commission is discouraged, a church is lacking.

This thread is already 3 pages too long IMHO.
I'm going to go read the Bible.

My Dad wasn't even a Christian and he warned me about the Queers when I was too young to even think about girls.
We played "Smear the Queer" football on the playground 4th grade+ .
Dad warned me about them and rightly told me to stay away from them. When they come out and tell you that they are queer, you say such and such to them, he warned me.
He told me that Dr. So and so who used to come over with his wife to play bridge, a popular card game, was one and never invited back. He was head of the university Religion Dpt.
I remember that conversation.
He said they're violent and immoral people.
He was right.
Now it's time for the soy boys to read this , get miffed, and tell me what a real Christian is.

Trying to figure out just who you are to hold what you say you believe is a lie against another bother in Christ who never sinned against you.
If you would just simply look at this like a Debate, it's a fact tactic. I said a Fact, and got the response I expected. There's nothing to read into this. When I posted that, in my mind, I was only speaking to her. I never consider other readers because I am not debating other readers in the Moment. This Debate was between that Member and myself and no one else.

But the general message you did convey in your post, I absolutely agree with (y)

Is this really worthy of another thread on the same rainbow flag?

Here, I'll cover that base for anyone who needs witnessed to. This is worth more than the entire planet.

It's worth setting the record straight, as some Christians are convinced that the producers of "The Chosen" are pandering to the LGBTQI mob. That was my only intention.

Also, the two ACTORS' were reacting to some hostile posts and they have since reposted. Jordan Ross said he loves the fans. He works with the person and was mad over some bullying comments to fire the crew member . This show will soon reach close to a billion watching/viewing and some who like me didn't even notice the flag and have gotten closer to the Lord and/or accepted Jesus. The series is expected to be the most watched faith-based series ever. It's amazing to see the comments fly by so fast from people all over the world who love the episodes. I also think a behind the shot of a pride flag is not worthy of ranting against a show that shows the water turning into wine, leper & lame healed, the woman with the issue of blood, Jesus walking on water and so forth. It's not a church it's a production set producing an amazing series.[/QUOTE
I just thought ppl can be a bit precious over flags. Not just gay flags but any flags.

?!
I wonder how people would react if someone wore a T shirt with "I'm an adulterer" or "I hate God" on set. There is no difference in reality.

That may apply to hiring practices but nothing else. And sometimes what is legal is evil and immoral and must be rejected (like abortion). However let's say someone came on a Christian set with a Nazi flag or a Communist flag. Would you say it is illegal to discriminate on the basis of evil ideologies? The rainbow flag represents an IDEOLOGY which is in fact a rejection of God's natural order. Christians and conservatives are being bullied and intimidated by the sexual perverts. In fact the whole world is being bullied by them and nobody is standing up to these bullies. All of a sudden the "rights" of sexual deviants are trumping the rights of normal and sane citizens. So it is high time someone drew a line on all this evil nonsense. Which is really to target little children and thoroughly corrupt them.
Look at it another way. The Christians had an opportunity to witness to a sinner who would otherwise may never have heard the gospel. Jesus preached to the most sinful. He rebuked the Pharisees who were oh so righteous.

John Newton was a slave trader. He was convicted and saved, becoming a true man of God. Will the gay person get saved? Maybe. Are Christians obliged to love sinners? Jesus died for that person, like it or not. To be honest, the idea of homosexuality makes me want to puke, so I rarely, if ever, think about. Sometimes I have no choice because homosexuals are more obvious than ever. I wish it were otherwise. But we live in the fallen world and Jesus commands us to preach the gospel. I don't recall any exceptions as to who we should preach to.

Well then, everybody else could wear an 'I am a Christian, believe in God, and expect prayer & worship time here' msg on clothes. Didn't your OP say someone already had witnessed to him.
BTW, someone having the pride flag means they are in sin, the people we like to think we need to minister to. He knows he's helping to make a Jesus series, I'd be praying the Holy Spirit captivates him. Kicking him off, maybe..maybe not someone else will reach him. Jesus went after the one lost sheep.

To respond to someone when what they said has been swallowed up in another person's quote box,
making what they said a blank when you want to reply to them, just use the reply option, and then
between the quote tags, copy and paste what the person said, making sure not to mess with/erase
any of the tags (that is often what causes the issue in the first place).

I wonder how people would react if someone wore a T shirt with "I'm an adulterer" or "I hate God" on set. There is no difference in reality.

The Chosen, Inc. isn't about witnessing to anyone; it's about raking it in. The show is using the guy for what he can give them, that's it. Real loving.

No Christian will take exception to this. Christ died for all sinners, even the vilest.

The issue is not about hating sexual perverts, since that is only one kind of sinning. There are many others, and all sin is sin. The issue is the CHALLENGE to normal, decent people who are being bullied into accepting the LGBTQ agenda as acceptable. That having Gay Pride parades and flying rainbow flags is normal and acceptable. and must not be challenged. And that is what is unacceptable. The governments and corporations are going along with this nonsense.

It would be just like a bunch of murderers or rapists getting together and parading the streets with slogans proclaiming "MURDER IS NORMAL AND SO IS RAPE". Of course the pro-abortionists are actually doing this, but no one would stand by and allow murderers and rapists to make that kind of preposterous claim. So where are the flags and the billboards which say "ABORTION IS MURDER"? Would the governments allow that kind of declaration?

Some Christians have gone into a meltdown because they saw a rainbow flag on a picture of the set of "The Chosen". I've learned enough in my 72 years to seek for more information before reacting.

It appears that a contractor came on set with a rainbow flag. And that's all there is to it. It is illegal to discriminate on the basis of sexuality, so the producers could not refuse the contractor's services. Personally, I have no problem with it. The individual whoever or whatever he/she/it is, was witnessed to. That is always a good thing. A link to CBN's report follows.

I welcome gay people into my life but not militant radicals. IMO the individual who brought that flag was too busy proselytizing their views on sexuality to receive the Gospel.

I’m an equal opportunist at not being fair. 😊

Indeed, not fair to me because you stated in two lines what I was not able to articulate clearly in 20 some posts!!

Excellent ... and that ladies and gentlemen is the exact truth of the matter imho!

Thank you Mr. Snacker.
