Observations From a MLK Day March and Luncheon

[Yeshua1]

NEGRO? Man at least call them Black.

And one would think his wife, who speant far more time with him than any of his kids would know him better. And she says:

. – CSK,Reuters, March 31, 1998.







I'd say that his wife definitely knew him better than his daughter Bernice who was only five when her dad died.

Look at the stance of the other Civil Rights guys who marched with him. Joseph Lowery, John Lewis, etc. They are staunchly in support of gay marriage for the same reasons they were against Jim Crow Laws.

NOT the same issue, for God was against judging a person for just being black as somehow making them defective persons, but God is NOT into "gay rights" as in agreeing to see that as an acceptable alternate lifestyle/marriage realtionship!

It doesn't have to be the same issue. The Civil Rights leaders see the similarities between the Civil Rights fight and the current fight for rights by gays.

I think I am a little younger than you.........

LOL, not much, and OR is older than dirt.

Another point that needs to be made, even if MLK was disposed to favor gay rights at the time of his death, which I disagree with, who knows how 46 years would have changed his view?

In the 40s MLK was probably being a teenager. Of course, I respectfully disagree with your conclusion based on reading his papers and sermons. However, the main point is, which is sad, is that this present day pastor thought gay marriage to be acceptable.

It's a strange thing SN. I've asked friends how they as Christians reconcile what Scripture says as far as marriage goes and the attempt to get same sex "marriage" and it always goes back to people choosing to ignore what God says and opting for what they feel.

blacks were denied equal opportunities to schooling/work/voting etc, NOT the same as so called gay rights, as they want society to accept and adopt their lifestyles as being acceptable, just same as hetro 'equal/just different!" God stills calls it a perversion...

How we feel can be a dangerous thing when mistaken for the will of God. Scripture is God's Word. It reminds me of some I have talked to at the salvation experience, that think they "felt" something. I never could figure out what they felt, a rush of adrenaline, a white glowing light in the sky, a Mary vision, whatever. Then, they question anyone's salvation experience who did not feel anything. Salvation is not about feeling something, it is about faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. One might feel something, if that is what God chooses, but it is not a requirement. Did Paul feel something at the moment of salvation besides blindness?

You might not think so. But a lot of those same Black Civil Rights leaders disagree with you and purport that just like the Jim Crow laws, the current laws do to gays what Jim Crow laws did to Blacks.

What's that got to do with the similarities between the CIvil Rights fight and this gay fight?

Definitely agree. I've told folks for years, that if you want to avoid a lot of trouble and confusion, forget about what you think, feel and believe and go with what God says.:thumbsup:

Would say that those leaders are on the wrong side, for they are taking side of the world, against God!

And blacks were denied basic civil rights, gays just being denied able to get married, whichis NOT a civil rights issue!

being black NOT a sin, practicing gay lidestyle is!

You may not think so but those Civil Rights leaders and gays certainly do.

What does whether or not someone is committing a sin or not have to do with Civil Rights?

Are sinners not due civil rights?

gays have ALL same civil right as other Americans have now, those same rights were denied to blacks long time, and gay marriage NOT a constitutional right, for marriage has NEVER been defined by God or society that way!
