    I won't link the sick video that has been plastered all over the sports world for the last 24 hours of Sam and his boyfriend kissing each other several times in celebration of his getting picked up by the St. Louis Rams in the 2014 NFL draft last night, but I would like to see what you all feel about it?

    If he wants to kiss his boyfriend I guess he can no big deal, but it has played over and over on the TV for the last 24 hours and why? How has the minority gay community convinced broadcasters to promote their immoral agenda? Would we ever expect these people to promote a Christian agenda?

    What are we to do? Remain silent, be vocal, shut the TV off? I know we are to be salt and light, so how does this look in our ever increasing immoral society?

    If we didn't shut the tv off due to all the heterosexual smut that's continuously broadcast, then all we do is reinforce that our concern isn't HOLINESS but issues, IMO.

    It should be the Christian's desire to see gay people saved and living their lives for Christ too because that's Christ's desire.

    Let's not give them another reason to think we "hate" them just because they are doing what we've already okayed for unmarried heterosexuals to do on every show on tv.

    But I've often said that I'm a little bit more conservative than the average joe. I think kisses should be saved for your wife until you're married. It prevents a whole lot of trouble.

    21 Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee?
    and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?


    Rom 1:24-28
    24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
    25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

    26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections:for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
    27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
    28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

    Of course, it was disgusting. There are no other words for it.
    I think that's obvious. The media is interested in promoting the LGBT agenda, and will do so at every opportunity.
    They didn't have to convince them very much. The liberal/socialist education establishment is turning out liberal/socialists who need little arm twisting to stick it in the face of the moderates and conservatives -- who, despite the best efforts of the socialists, are still the majority -- will do so. Hence Sam's disgusting display on ESPN and NFL networks.

    That said, Sam was a legitimate second- or third-round pick prior to his "gay announcement." His fall to the very end of the draft is indicative of the fact that while the NFL front offices claim to be ready for an openly gay player, the NFL locker rooms are not. I think the Rams got the short straw here. The NFL knew Sam had to be drafted or face a huge lawsuit. I'm sure the LGBTs advising Sam were hoping he didn't get drafted for that very reason. I'm just grateful the Chiefs didn't lose the straw-drawing competition, and my sympathies to my football-fan and Christian friends on the other side of the state who have to put up with the coming media circus.
    Rhetorical question, right?
    If we become vocal, we will be labeled "haters" and bigots. If we vote with the TV and at the ticket office by refusing to attend Sam's first game, and not watch it on TV, we will have no effect. Someone else will buy the ticket, someone else will watch. Also, I can't see punishing the rest of the team because they have a gay activist teammate who, I am now convinced (mainly due to that disgusting display in front of ESPN/NFL cameras) is more interested in promoting the LGBT agenda than playing football. We pray the Christian players on the Rams -- and I know there are many -- will reach out to Sam, get his attention, witness to him, and that he will see the Light.
    We as Christian fans will have little effect, other than through prayer and witnessing, both to Sam and to the confused fans who don't know what to think of Sam and his displays on and off the field. Otherwise those fans won't care. I believe the majority of players in the league have a major problem with an openly gay player in their locker room. It is up to them to reach Sam -- not with violence, but with the gospel.

    Y'all obviously haven't spent much time in a locker room. There's simply no room for the NFL players to say much about his display as so many of them just don't care. It's not the players. It's the owners who care.

    They won't come right out and say it because you'd have Don Sterling, Part 2. As much as the league wants to appear as progressive, the owners are thinking MONEY.

    I hope some of the Christian players do take to him and treat him just like they should any other Christian in a stronghold or as they would any lost person who doesn't know Christ.

    When you got groupies and girlfriends being around these players and being photographed kissing all the time, there'sno need to make a big deal about it cause it's the exact same thing as it would have been if he had kissed a girlfriend on camera.

    HOLINESS DRIVEN...not issue driven.


    (Roll eyes, expected, typical, really a liberal, etc, etc to save some the time) :godisgood:

    Now I do find it par for the course in this spiralling down world that Sam's sin as well as the sin of other heterosexuals/homosexuals is put on display by the media but let Tim Tebow come out talking about abstinence until marriage and they'll have a baby cow.

    The media promotes hedonism. They don't particularly care what the orientation is.

    Deviants are not reproduced, Sodomy cannot produce offspring.

    The tool deviants use to grow their numbers, is recruitment.

    Their method of recruitment is molestation.

    Every story of a deviant in the Scriptures, is the story of molestation.

    Ham, took advantage of a drunk dad, against his will.

    Gen 9:24
    24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.


    The Sodomites tried to rape Lot, because he wouldn't send out the angels to be raped.

    Gen 19:9
    9 And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge:now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.

    The Benjamite deviants raped a concubine to death.

    Judg 19:22-27
    22 Now as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain sons of Belial, beset the house round about, and beat at the door, and spake to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house, that we may know him.
    23 And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them, and said unto them, Nay, my brethren, nay, I pray you, do not so wickedly; seeing that this man is come into mine house, do not this folly.
    24 Behold, here is my daughter a maiden, and his concubine; them I will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth good unto you:but unto this man do not so vile a thing.
    25 But the men would not hearken to him:so the man took his concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning:and when the day began to spring, they let her go.
    26 Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man's house where her lord was, till it was light.
    27 And her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way:and, behold, the woman his concubine was fallen down at the door of the house, and her hands were upon the threshold.
    28 And he said unto her, Up, and let us be going. But none answered. Then the man took her up upon an ass, and the man rose up, and gat him unto his place.

    Jud 1:7
    7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

    Deviants are molesters.
    Deviants are victims of molestation.
    They will carry on in perpetuity, until our gov. heeds the example God made in Sodom, and puts them to death.

    If not, they will completely take over the quarters of the city where they dwell, like they have done in Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, Atlanta, and G.Village in NY.

    I used to minister in the Sodomite North Side of Chicago.

    The Deviants there would "foster children" for $.
    The children were often possessed, so bitter and angry at God, numbed to any outreach, and already deviants themselves.

    I still remember an 8 year old boy, who was in foster care with his 5 year old brother, who he constantly
    molested, even on the church bus.

    Michael Sam was molested by a deviant.
    Michael Sam is a deviant, who recruits through molestation.

    There is nothing new under the Sun.

    Sorry, Zaac, but you're full of it. It was my privilege over the years I built houses full-time to build a few for Chiefs and Royals players. I still am friends with many of them, and a couple go to my church. The players care a great deal, and they are against the activist gay player in the locker room. Frankly, they say, they've know some players in the past who were gay, but they didn't flaunt it, they didn't make a pass at anyone in the locker room, and it was uncomfortable by OK.

    Now, with the like of Sam in the NFL, the game changes. Not the football game, the political game. Pro sports teams' locker rooms are like the fox hole. Everybody watches out for everybody else, but when someone has his own agenda, his own way of doing things, it destroys the comraderie, and in the case of pro athletics, it destroys the team. If you aren't on the same page with everyone else, you got to go.

    You can make all the claims of this type you want, but I know these guys. It is you who haven't spent any time in a locker room, so you take that bull to another pasture.

    Then where are they coming from?

    People produce offspring.

    Yep. That's why the heterosexual/homosexual porn industries are so profitable. Heterosexual porn addiction is up higher than ever because we've normalized heterosexual lust into every aspect of our lives. The homosexuals are just playing catch up.

    Is that what heterosexual fornicators use too?

    You're reading into Scripture here.


    WOW. Now we're advocating the government putting someone to death because of their sin. Unbelievable. Let's see how many of ya gonna hitch your cart to this horse.

    You're equally full of it. I guarantee that I know a whole lot more NFL, NBA, and MLB players than you have built houses for. Athletes in the locker room in general don't care what the other guys do in their private lives as long as it's not affecting what they do on the field. And that's probably because most of them have got some dirt going on.

    Well at least you admit that this is about politics.

    Like i said, y'all obviously haven't been on any professional teams or spent much time in a lockerroom. What agenda does the young man have that the heterosexual with a girlfriend doesn't have? Looks like he just wants to play football and happened to have come out as gay. Most of the guys in the lockerroom are fine with that. It's his private life. The media is the one who will continue to make it an issue because sensationalism supposedly sparks an interest.

    The kid announced he was gay before he was drafted. he's obviously good enough to play in the NFL and got drafted.

    Then either of those players tell you that the thing that ruins comraderie on a team quicker than anything else is a lack of trust? Lying to your teammates never generates a desire for teamwork.

    Man please. You know two people. Sit down.

    Congratulations, that has to be the most ego-inflated post posted recently on BB.

    I know a lot of the players. I've been in the locker rooms, during camp, before and after games. I played NCAA Division I baseball. I know the mindset of the athlete, and the difference between collegiate and professional athletes is one of expertise, not intensity or team concept. You haven't a clue what you're talking about, as indicated by your insistence that the professional athlete "doesn't care" if he has a gay teammate or not. You're clueless.

    Now back to the real world.

    Well somebody had to deflate your **cough, cough* "I built houses for a few of the Chiefs and Royal players".:laugh:

    Point being again that it's OBVIOUS you haven't spent anytime in a lockerroom or been part of a professional team of any sort because you don't know what you're talking about.

    So please sit down.:thumbs:

    Next time, you might want to read the whole post before you clip part of it to sneer at.
    How about I just leave you to your ignorance? That works better for both of us.

    And again, back to the real world.

    He's pretty much discredited himself at all here.

    I remember when the fight was on to keep women out of the locker room.

    We've come along way, baby.

    Yes because the man advocating that the government kill folks because of their sexual sin is really one you want patting you on the back. [​IMG]

    WHEW WEE!!! If y'all two are the face of the church, no wonder folks stop attending.

    I'm a follower of Jesus Christ who loves people and am mindful that if Christ chose to kill everyone who is guilty of deviant behavior, every sinner ever born would fall into that category.

    Now back to you and this whole Noah and Ham thing. What do you mean "took advantage of a drunk dad against his will"?
