Acceptance of homosexuality...

[robycop3]

Been watching "Wheel Of Fortune" lately. They've been having some gays & lesbians as contestants lately, shown by the fact that, when asked about family, a coupla women said, "Married to my WIFE..." & the other day, the man who was the big winner, when asked who he had in the audience, said, "My HUSBAND..."

THE HOSTS & AUDIENCE WENT ON AS IF THIS WERE PERFECTLY NORMAL !

Sportzz Fanzz, God called it ! He said there'd be a great falling away as "the end" approached, and, as usual, He was right on ! I hope the parents watching those shows with their kids explained to them that was NOT normal !

Wait, there's more:

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was a guest judge on Friday’s episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race, accepting praise from a group of men dressed as women for standing up to “evil” President Donald Trump.

Noticed that on the show also. They are forcing people to think of it as as normal and good what is evil and bad, according to our Christian faith, they are of reprobate mind. God has given them over to their sins, to make their sin utterly sinful. They will not be forgiven unless God grants to them to repent..

What was the audience on Wheel of Fortune supposed to have done? Stand up and boo? Thrown tomatoes? Screamed, "you are going to hell?"

Why are we even talking about AOC and RuPaul's Drag Race? Lost people are just going to do what lost people do. Why are we surprised?

And the coronavirus? Hundreds of people gathered at a church in Arkansas and now at least 34 people have the virus. These gay people didn't get the virus because they are gay, but because they gathered together in unsafe numbers as did these Christians at the Arkansas church.

When I see gay people on TV or in real life - I pray for them. Deeply. Homosexuals can be delivered.

I was texting with one of my gay friends who lives in Virginia. He knows EXACTLY my firm Christian beliefs on homosexuality - because I have told him that I pray for him in that regard. He wanted to check on us because we just had horrible tornadoes here in northern Louisiana. We chit-chatted about that and about a movie that he recommended to me back in February.

I HATE it that the world views homosexuality as acceptable. I HATE that my friend in Virginia who was married to a woman for 25 years and had 4 children is now married to a man. I pray for him constantly when he comes to my mind.

I'm not shocked at anything and neither should we be.

It's time for the church to have a different response to homosexuals than to just talk about them on message boards and declare what an abomination that is.

It IS an abomination. That's laid out clearly in the Bible. But what are we doing about those in our circles who entrenched in this sin.

You all watching the gay people on Wheel of Fortune - did you pray for them at ALL?

I guess if the "Wheel of Fortune" players were all nudists, dressed the way nudists prefer to dress, you wouldn't express any shock or dismay. You would simply wish to uphold them in prayer.

Our culture has become seared by constant exposure to the moral depravity of open homosexuality that there is no more moral outrage.

Attitudes such as yours are not Christian attitudes but enabling attitudes. Contact "Alcoholics Annonymous" if you need to know what an enabler is.

I know what an enabler is. And yes, I am a Christian. I've been one for 50 years.

If I saw naked people on Wheel of Fortune, I would not only change the channel, I would just turn the TV off as most of television makes me sick anyway.. AND I WOULD PRAY FOR THOSE NAKED PEOPLE. Yes, I would pray for them. Am I not supposed to do that?

What's wrong with praying for people? What did I say that offended you so. Is it because I didn't shame those people? I said homosexuality was an abomination.

I suppose I get so tired of people on the BB who whine about gay people and curse them and say all sorts of NON-Christians things and never do I see anyone praying for them or seeking others to pray for deliverance.

If you or anyone else here thinks that forcing homosexuality as acceptable is a NEW THING, you all have had your heads in the sand for at least a decade.

This is OLD news. And perhaps it wouldn't be this blatant if Christians were AT LEAST praying for the lost and trying to maintain an open relationship of SOME sort to be able to speak the truth of God's Word to the lost.

My gay friend? I HAVE spoken the truth to him. I will KEEP speaking the truth to him when that opportunity avails itself.

I refuse just to sit around with other hardened Christians like old men sitting on benches at an old timey store just gossiping at how bad the world is.

For God's sake - YES, THE WORLD IS BAD!! But what are the members of the BB doing about it.

Do we reach out at ALL to the depraved people? Or are we just supposed to sit back and just let them go to hell?

There are lots of sins that separate people from God. Homosexuality affects a tiny proportion of lost people, but you wouldn’t know that from listening to some Christians.

 

[Scott Downey]

Where was Lot living when the angels found him?
Lot choose for himself the cities of the plain, according to his eyes the better place and also sat in the gate of Sodom. While Abraham made the right choice. Genesis 13. Though Peter still called Lot righteous, Lot suffered greatly according to the choice he had made.

While that is true about the numbers you speak of and the small percentage of the population who are gay.

100% of the world is the target of the belief system that homosexuality is normal and acceptable. That's the problem that has confounded our nation for at least a decade.

Pleased to hear it, in that you know what an enabler is and that you are my sister in Christ.

It is good for believers to pray for people, especially for their deliverance. In my oppinion we should pray that the more vulnerable ones in our society, children basically, will not be negatively influenced by the apparent acceptance of the LGBTQ life style by society or what may appear to them as Christianity's tacit approval because we refuse to speak out against it.

If you
or anyone else here thinks that forcing homosexuality as acceptable is a NEW THING, you all have had your heads in the sand for at least a decade.

It is not new and neither is open condemnation of moral depravity. It goes back to the Old Testament days.

My gay friend? I HAVE spoken the truth to him. I will KEEP speaking the truth to him when that opportunity avails itself.

Why do you have a "gay" friend? What if you had a young child that you were responsible for and he told you that he wanted to stay the night at a homosexual's house. As a Christian parent, your responsibility would be to deny that request for obvious reasons. Your child, knowing why you have refused the request, would label Mom as a hipocrite, because after all, "She has gay friends so why can't I have gay friends?" For the sake of your testimony, tell the gay friend that the friendship is over. Now, tjat being said, help the guy if he is in need of immediate aid, but dispense with casual friendship.
I once ran to the aid of a convinience store clerk whom I knew to be a homosexual. His solenoid stuck and the starter wouldn't shut off. He got out of his car and threw up his hands because he didn't know what to do. I had him pop the hood, then disconnected the battery. I didn't just laugh at his dilema because he was a homosexual.

Coddling them and making them feel comfortable in their sin will send them to Hell quicker than open rebuke.

100% of the world is also the target of the belief system that sex outside of marriage and living together outside of marriage is normal and acceptable. Lots more people involved in having sex outside of marriage and living together outside of marriage than are involved in homosexuality. And that's a problem that has been around a lot longer than a decade.

I'm still praying for one last revival in America.

Greg Laurie's Palm Sunday webcast draws 1.3M viewers, Trump: People are open to the Gospel

California megachurch pastor Greg Laurie’s Palm Sunday webcast service drew 1.3 million people, including President Donald Trump, with 11,207 people making decisions to have a relationship with Christ.​

.....though there is some dispute about which service Trump streamed. Regardless....

Focus on the youth in America. Millennials might be a lost cause, but the GenZers are showing signs of intelligence. Hit them with Creation (biblical reliability), Cessation (sound theology) and Love of Nation (good testimony/gratitude).

They will take the mark so they can buy and sell again (work in the economy) Related to my thinking a serious discussion about digitally marking people as having antibodies to covid so they can buy and sell which people including Bill Gates are promoting.
I had been thinking how this virus shows America today as willing to do anything the government says.
We as a country are way past Christ and the bible, we are surrounded by a post christian world and mindset, with theology in the bible portrayed as myths from long ago.

How will they get you to take the mark? Look how easily they're dictating your behavior right now

A lot of Baptist churches need it explained to them. They are so big on loving the sinner that they have accepted the sin into their midst.

Its a problem but its not an intentional defiance of God. Homosexuality is pure rebellion.

All sin is pure rebellion against God, regardless of how "tiny". Christ Jesus paid the cost for every single sin on the cross. EVERY...ONE...OF...THEM. How we corrupted humans view them as "big" or "little" is of no relevance.

 

[robycop3]

Main thing I wanted to do is show how readily the USA has joined much of Europe in accepting LBGTQ as different, but part of the "new normal". Actually, it's neither! Yes, the audience shoulda hissed & booed, & more viewers shoulda done what I did & send a critical letter to the show's producers.

And, yes, I pray for them. While such a person may have his/her perversion present for life, a CHRISTIAN doesn't PRACTICE it.The principle is same as mine. I am hetero, been married to the same woman 46 years, intend to stay married to her long as we bith shall live, & despite my age (Be 72 in 2 weex) women still catch my eye, but I don't attempt to pick up another woman for a sexual encounter, nor undress/fornicate with them in my mind. AQ Christian LGBTQ must to the same - look, but not ACT nor FANTASIZE.

maybe you all should force them to wear multicolored clothing so you could openly rebuke them by casting judgement on them.
