Money does not change what was not there already.

I'm just curious, what was the meaning you intended out of the double-negative?

So the whole moral of your story is:

1. As in your first thread (about being afraid of the male body,) you believe all men are closeted homosexuals or bisexuals.

2. You assume that because of this, all men will eventually cheat on their straight wives and infect them with HIV or other diseases.

3. You are saying that the only way to corral these horrible gay/bi men who are all lusting for each other is to promote allowing them to marry each other, so that they won't go out and infect all the innocent straight women out there.

Once again.

WHY the obsession with thinking every man is sleeping with men, has AIDS, and is going to infect a straight woman?

Yes, it happens.

But why on earth do you think this is ALWAYS going to happen, to the point of supporting gay marriage as a way to supposedly curb it?

It happen to the tribe Benjamin and Soddom, Gormorah and Zoar all at time when they where rich.I guess money bring out the worst sometimes.

o i don't know.It made since when i type it..Just remember bits of stuff.like Sodom, them being gay was because they would not regard the poor.

I don’t know if it’s normal to feel so uncomfortable

Is something wrong with me? I don’t judge people or care about how they live but am uncomfortable with celebratory gay pride balloons once I realize what it’s celebrating . I feel bad as I support the LGBTQ community but I’m uncomfortable with it being promoted as normal. It makes me confused on what’s wrong vs. right.

In this thread and in your last thread, you ask repeatedly if you are normal or if there is something wrong with you.

I don't think there's anything wrong with you.

But I can tell you that it is NOT normal to think every man is sleeping with other men or wants to sleep with other men, and it's not normal to then believe that every man who is with a woman is also sleep with men and is going to infect her with STD's, and in the Christian community, it is most definitely not normal to then think that the only solution is to let men marry each other so that they won't infect all the straight women.

WHERE did this line of thinking come from, and why are you unable to perceive it as a stereotype that does not apply to a good number of men?

It's as if you don't believe it's even possible for men to be straight.

I never said ‘all’ at all, I’m just saying that it occurs. Much more frequently than you think! I don’t know how much info you have about what’s going on in the world with women and women’s health, but it’s a major issue, especially in countries where gay marriage is not yet allowed or where gay men are pushed to marry women!

The thing is, this is the second thread in which you have made this issue your centerpiece.

In both threads, you have talked extensively about men having sex with men and infecting women.

I understand that you seem to have studied areas of the world in which this may be more prominent -- so are you saying that you believe the best way to handle this is to just allow men to marry each other?

And that you believe that if men were allowed to marry men, then they could just be with other men and the risk to women would go away, or at least, be greatly reduced?

I'm not saying any of this to criticize.

My first agenda is to always try to figure out exactly what a poster is trying to say and what brought them to that conclusion.

Just on a side note: The double-negative is down the st about 10 miles in the desert a artist from the 60s made it i think , Never seen it,,It's land art.

Yes, that’s what I stated above! My reasons for supporting gay marriage is that marriage ideally will promote monogamy and also gays should not be forced to date or marry straight people.

Thank you for clarifying your stance.

Problem is most long term male homosexual relationships (married or not) have incorporated provisions for outside partners. It's pretty illogical to think what you stated in your previous thread :

I don’t feel men are safe and I don’t think men think monogamously like we women do. I’ve also recently been reading about men who cheat on their wives and girlfriends with other men and bring back uncurable STD’s like HIV and others! I now have it in my mind that most men are bisexual and also deceptive and they also see nothing wrong with frequenting prostitutes and escorts.

and then think that two men getting together will suddenly be committed to or encouraged towards monogamy? (yes I realize she's gone and can't answer, but it was an inconsistency worth pointing out).

Of course it’s abnormal and not moral, but there’s always been and will always be gender dysphoria, feminine men and people wired in their brain to have same-sex attraction. Society should acknowledge that, but my discomfort comes from the feeling that some want to mainstream and pretend it’s normal or to be celebrated. I get that you’re saying gay marriage is an attempt to normalize it but I don’t see any other way to not have gay men pushed onto women. You have some guys who have spent their teens and college years having sex with other guys, some of them end up with HIV and other stds. these guys should not forced by society to marry women! I do get what point you’re making though.
There is no ‘straight pride’ though, so if we promote rainbows as a celebration of gay life and promote celebrating homosexuality, this will blur the lines of wrong vs. right to society!

The rainbow isn't a token,symbol ect. of "gay life"(or maybe their trying to hi-jack it?) ,,,,Anyway though it predates any of the LBGTXY groups and is an token,symbol given by God to be a token of the covenant between himself and the earth ect. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis 9:13&version=KJV So simply demand that they stop hi-jacking the rainbow and saying it represents something other than it has for thousands of years.

 

[iamsoandso]

"Genesis 9:13,,,Stop Hi-Jacking the Rainbow"

 

[cinder]

"Genesis 9:13,,,Stop Hi-Jacking the Rainbow"

That could be the start of a great bumper sticker. Even just a rainbow (like a proper archy rainbow) with Genesis 9:13 on it.

That's the idea in that God the Almighty explains what the Rainbow means,represents ect. and so their using it improperly. Bumper-stickers,hat's T-shirts and protest signs,,, everywhere,, "Genesis 9:13 Stop Hi-Jacking the Rainbow",,

I have gay friends, support gay marriage and support people being being able to live in their truth. I support gay men not being forced onto women but instead being able to date and marry other lgbtq men. I also support them having pride month parades and celebrations.

To answer your question, "Is something wrong with me", Yes, there is something wrong with you. But it's not what you think.

You can NOT be a Christian and support gay marriage not matter what your reason is. Your are trying to protect women by supporting something God absolutely hates. Seems as if your loyalty is to women and not God in this matter. Nobody is forcing gay people to marry straight people. A lot of those men like men and women. They made a choice. And guess what they always will.

This whole notion of "living your truth" is a lie, and because you believe this lie your foundation for your morals and principles are faulty. By believing this lie your are saying people can change truth to whatever they like. The only truth is what God says. 2+2=4. It will never change even though these millennials claim it can be whatever you want. If you are owed $1000 every week and your boss gives you $500 instead, you would have a problem. And if he said to you "My truth is $1000 equals $500" you would think he was insane. Yet that is what people are doing.

You seem to have a soft spot for sin just because they are "good people". That is dangerous because Israel had a soft spot for other tribes of people several times in the Bible, and when they supported these other tribes of people God punished them with sickness, slavery or just killed them. You are not to support evil. Doesn't mean you have to be hateful to them, it just mean YOU MUST CHOOSE A SIDE.

The reason you are conflicted is because you a confused. You know something is wrong, but you don't want to judge. Even though you know it is wrong you must support it to save women. Your are burning your conscience with an iron. The world has told us we are not to judge, but the Bible actually tells us to judge. (Please don't bring up the don't judge verse because that is taken out of context.) If a person is a thief I must call him a thief. The Bible says we will know them by their fruit. The fruit of homosexuality is dead wrong and you must stand firm on that. Your "heroic" idea of saving women with promotion of sin is terrible. That's like promoting genocide of "People A" to save "People B".

Again pick a side to stand completely against something or completely with something. There is no in between with God. If you are afraid of what your friends and other people will say or do, then you have the wrong religion. Historically speaking, that's what happens in Christianity. They hated and killed Jesus because He spoke truth, and His truth went against their "truth". So hatred is to be expected.

It makes me feel uncomfortable. You know grocery stores have a balloon section near the front and check-out areas. Mostly birthday balloons or graduation or other holidays balloons. 1 of my local grocery stores had gay pride balloons all over the entrance during June pride month. June came and went thankfully. I went in recently this week and near the checkout stand is a large unicorn balloon with the gay rainbow on the horns. As I was checking out and looked up and saw the large pride unicorn, my brain processed what it meant and I felt gross!

I feel like when it’s mainstreamed and promoted it makes me question right vs. wrong and I need to get home and talk to God. I also feel like I need to stay out of that 1 pariticular grocery store.

Because you might view homosexuality as 'natural' yet find the LGBT movement ideologically motivated, and as such not really anything to do with 'gay rights' so much as being a political statement of some kind.

I'm confused. You are Christian and you support the gay "agenda" i.e right to marriage equality, etc...and have gay friends.

But it's mylar balloons sold with other mylar balloons that make you uncomfortable?
You see that as promoting the gay lifestyle you already said you support?

 

[elights]

I don’t know why most Christians live a life of moral Christianity,God hasn’t called us to be morally upright though it’s good,true Christianity is not a list of things you should do or not do,but a call to fellowship with God through Christ his son,so what we do is not supposed to be based on what we think or others, but the way we relate with God is the only thing that is supposed to dictate what we do,will you continue painting pictures of your ex in a home where you have married a new wife????

 

[arthurfleminger]

Seeing 'LGBT' support/celebrations at your local grocery store seems insignificant. Today, many of our mainline Protestant churches are taking the LGBT issues into their churches and celebrating. God and Scripture call these relationships abominations but we are blessing the marriage bonds between people of the same sex and offering them up to God.

Jesus said that marriage is between a man and a woman. Our churches say we have a better idea, and we'll give gay marriages and the LGBT agenda our blessings and we think God is just wrong.

Maybe we and our churches have become home to the Antichrist? The prophesies of the Antichrist foretell of 'abominations' being allowed in the church. Well, the abominations are in our church and we bless them and offer them to God.
