Featured Gay Rights = Anti-Christian

It's my opinion that it's more true than it is false.
But, clearly you don't think so. That's fine.

 

So I am right.
In your mind because it was Okay to treat the slaves as trash (and they were humans), it is perfectly alright to treat the homosexuals as worse than trash, for they don't even reach the status of trash in your highly esteemed opinion.

 

History is itself clouded by perspective, or lack of it (for lack of better wording), as we attempt to make sense of what we can find on it. Even the subject of the history of slavery can be seen from many viewpoints. And we all tend to have our own predisposed perspectives, complicating it further.
Even historians disagree among themselves.

 

And slavery was???

 

Agreed!

I have several neighbors who are gay, and they know I am a pastor! We are quite neighborly and civil towards one another, and I happen to think they are very nice people.

Of course, in my heart, I know that without Jesus, they will spend eternity in hell! Please don't ask me why I don't witness to them.

I don't witness to them for the same reason I don't discuss Obamacare or how Obama is making a mess of this nation with Balck folk! I do not wish to entertain stressful drama!

I don't witness to gays for the same reason I don't go up to Hispanics marching and carrying signs DEMANDING amnesty. It would end in drama, and I just don't do drama any longer.

I don't witness to gays for the same reason I don't witness to the Moron boys or the Jehovah Witnesses who come to my door.

You see; all these groups have their minds and hearts pretty much set on his or her life style, and little I do, other than getting into an argument with them [that never ends well] is going to change them.

I know this because my own daughter is a lesbian, and not just a lesbian, and an anti-Christian, God-hating, militant gay! Talking to her is a lost cause, like she is!

You see; Jesus did give permission to walk away from those whose minds are dead set against John 3:16 ... to shake the sand from our sandals and proceed on down the road!

Are gay's anti Christian? Not openly, and of course, they don't go around looking for a fight, just like I don't go around looking for one with them. They seem content to live in the way they have chosen to live, and like Paul said in Romans 1, I think the above folks have been TURNED over to the folly of their minds and hearts, and they will have to answer for their choices!

That is how I see it... and in fact, that is the rest of the story, good day!

 

No complaints here, I just don't see homosexuals as necessarily closed to Christianity simply by virtue of being one and I rather hope others don't, either. (As I mentioned before, ex-gays who converted to Christianity do exist.)

And I have no room to talk, because do I go around witnessing to everybody every day? Nope. I'm too shy to talk most of the way. And I'm not one to get into a fight about it, either. I do my best to avoid that manner of confrontation; usually if it happens it's others that initiate it.
The witnessing I do do is online when a discussion happens to come up and I'm able to share my faith in some way. Or when unbelievers ask me about my faith. (Which is usually online.) There are certainly people not worth wasting time on, because their hearts are closed. That's pretty clear just by talking to certain people for a moment, they are not open to anything you have to say.
I try to treat everyone the way I'd want to be treated, and in doing so, making friends rather than enemies, I hope to maybe have some part in leaning their hearts to the truth. Although, yes, there are those that just will not be reached.

 

Two things I disagree with your post. I don't think the way to approach any lost person is to tell them God loves them. That is salvation to my ears to know that God loves me. There is a effectual love and a love of benevolence where he shows every day mercy to all. To tell one God loves him is to deny Psa 5:5 Thou hatest all workers of iniquity and Psa 11:5 The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. and St. John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. The other is to compare homosexuals to a man lusting after a woman, or gluttons or liers as other posters have already done. In 1 Cor 11:14 why does it say that nature teaches a man it is a shame to have long hair ? because it puts his appearance to be womanly, the very opposite of a man, it is un-natural, it goes again nature.

 

From Webster's Online

Explain to me how both "slave" and "homosexual" fail to fit into that definition.

 

In a country like India servants (slaves) fall into the lowest castes (status), and are often treated badly.
But the same holds true for lepers, transgenders, and other known deviants.
They all fall into the same "caste."
So would a drunkard.

Society treats them the same, especially there.
However they are all humans.
Even in America, do you have the right to abuse mankind whether they be in lower status or a sinful state. What gives you the right to degrade, abuse, etc. others? Where in the Bible does it say: Do NOT love your neighbor as yourself?
