The Bible and the LGBTQ+ Pride Month of June

[Jon777]

Seeing the debauchery of the June Pride Parades on the local news, certain scriptures we might keep in mind.

“The look on their faces testifies against them; like Sodom they proclaim their sins, parading them openly. Woe betide them! They have earned the disaster that strikes them.” (Isa 3:9, REB)

The wicked do not care about the LORD; in their pride they think that God doesn't matter. (Ps 10:4, GNB92)

Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, surfeit of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy. (Ezek 16:49, RSV)

When pride comes, then comes disgrace; but with the humble is wisdom. (Prov 11:2, RSV)

The fear of the LORD is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate. (Prov 8:13, RSV)

Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. (Prov 16:18, RSV)

Now I, Nebuchadnez′zar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven; for all his works are right and his ways are just; and those who walk in pride he is able to abase. (Dan 4:37, RSV)

For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, fornication, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a man.” (Mark 7:21-23, RSV)

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, is not of the Father but is of the world. (1John 2:16, RSV)

Yes, but Lesus loves them all deeply and longs to bring to Eternal Life.

What does inclusive language in a translation have to do with 'gay issues'.

 

[Suze]

These people r only hurting themselves , they r not hurting me so it's not my place to hate them or punish them . As long as they r alive there is a chance that one day they may repent of their ways and turn to God . If they don't repent they shall perish along with all the other sinners who do not repent from their sins .

They don't use terms like he,him,her she in the translation. From what I understand they see Scriptures such as the Galatians 3:28 reference of neither male nor female as meaning they are no longer boys or girls. In the inclusive translation it removes the wording surrounding the issue of homosexuality. Ive never owned or read through the translation but notice several Churches shifting over to it in the larger cities in Texas like https://www.staopen.org/inclusive-language

And Texas is being taken over by Islam. Not a coincidence.

Yes run from Texas and it's politicians as fast as you can they say one thing yet do another.

We do not see a march of adulterers or murderers pride week. There are no "fornicators for Christ" churches. You think that no harm is being done? The West has turned away from Christian values. Now the West has been invaded by Muslims who punish homosexuality and adultery with death. How ironic. Muslims also intend to take over the world. They will not succeed, but they can make life miserable in the attempt.

Nothing about hating them or punishing them on our side.

All about punishing you and hating you if you do not follow their demands and rules.


We cannot be "nice" with these folks, they would slit your throat given half a chance.

Matthew 7:12

Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.


Matthew 5

43 You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’

44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that?

47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?

48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

The bible and pride month cannot coexist. It man's rebellion to do what GOD said not to do. Calling a sin, sin is not hate; it is something that they Church has compromised on. Why? Because many mothers and women have gay children and love them yet will not call what they do as sin because they have family who are under this perversion. School teachers, doctors all support this sin. Laws of the land support it. FYI GOD mind has not changed on perversion, adultery, fornication and drunkenness. None who do such things will be saved. all must repent. That Biblical Truth has been greatly watered down. There are no Christian gays. Mr. Talarico of TX is perverted and twisting the word of GOD.

In Texas Senate bill 1311(87th,2021) and House bill 166(87th,2021) were the two bills where they debated if this was a medical abnormality or not. The thinking originally was to prove that this is a form of chromosome,DNA mutation and that it should not be covered by taxes nor preformed on minor children. The debate evolved from there into the scientific/medical discussion over six biological gender possibilities of XX or XY chromosomes and the effects known in science/medicine to come from pesticides,pollution,chemicals,drugs,plastics,radiation ect. which are known to cause mutations on a developing fetus if exposed. Both the male and female chromosome XX and XY can mutate into 47XXY, 46XY and other combinations depending on those outside factors. And so at the time of conception the fetus is male or female as created by God but around the 6th/7th week of development mutate and the child be born with both male and female organs. This and other mutations are from outside factors and DNA/chromosome testing is the only way to tell which is which.

that is called a birth defect. No different than 6 toes and 6 fingers. It is not what it was suppose to be, something was out of order.

I agree as created by God there is only male and female. As for judgment God knows who is guilty of willful disobedience of the created order and who is guilty of causing those mutations and who is innocent of those mutations done to children before birth.

 

[ResidentAlien]

Galatians 3:28 Inclusive Language Edition: "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."

Galatians 3:28 KJV: "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus."

It doesn't change anything. If they want to put their own spin on it, that's on them; but the actual words haven't changed.

Can anyone post any examples of where the Inclusive Language Edition changes words that clearly show a homosexual bias? I'd be curious to look them up.

It's in how they interpret it's meaning. They use it as justification the same as the other translations are translated to further their preconceived beliefs.

it is the context of sin that we are born into and grow in The fallen world. That why we have birth defects. War, suffering, and sickness. Sin did it.

If that's the case, couldn't it be said then that the KJV gives them justification too? The words are exactly the same.
