You definitely weaken your argument with comments like that, especially when you go to great lengths to defend Muslims at every turn.  Self-hating European at his best.

Leviticus 20:13   If a man also lie with    mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an    abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be    upon them.

God tell us to kill gays.  You should read more and post less.

When will Rick Burgess repent of his sin and go back to his original marriage (to his still living ex-wife)? Let no man break apart what "God" has put together.

Quoted:



I understand your position right up to the bit in red.

After that, it goes awry for me.  Here's why.....

You state your personal belief is that homosexuality is a sin.   You then go on to contradict that by saying you only believe this because 2 Corinthians says so.  So...it is not your belief at all.  It is what you have been told to believe by whichever person told you to believe it. "The bible says" and you follow.

The father in the story may be of the same view as you, or not, but he is definitely not trying to save is daughter.  If he is rejecting her because he cannot handle her position and he is using the excuse of scripture to take away the responsibility he has for making that decision, then his actions can only be deemed cowardly and weak.  One of the biggest decisions he may make in his life, and he is deferring responsibility.

Now....it is indeed his right to do that if he chooses. But that doesn't make it the right decision for the right reasons. If he has made the decision based upon a supposed instruction in the bible, then it is a crap decision based on a crap reason, and one that could cost him and his daughter dearly.

It is also his daughter's right to choose her path, as you say.  However, you assume that her sexuality is a conscious choice.  That may be the case to some degree but a predisposition to homosexuality is no more easily turned than if you were to try and make a conscious decision to be gay.

The daughter may, from your perspective, be flawed in her sexual orientation, but might be a perfect christian in all other aspects of her life.

Do you therefore ostracise her otherwise flawless Christian self because of her one "sin"?    Because if you do there's going to be some pretty fucking big gaps in the queue for heaven because I've yet to meet a single Christian who isn't a bit flaky around the edges in some way.

Even the Bible points out that people cannot be perfect in every way and nor does God expect them to be.

So how do you reconcile that with the unforgiving dismissal of your own daughter, the destruction of your relationship since she was born, and the dismissal of her from your life and still believe that you have somehow acted in a Christian manner?  It's a wholly destructive and selfish position to take.

I'd rather face judgement safe in the knowledge that I loved and supported my kids, and was by their side through thick and thin even if I did not always agree with their choices.

wow...our views of God, Mercy, and Love are quite different.

Glad Jesus didn't just give the finger to a bunch of sinners and say GTFO.

modus operandi.  He thinks as he does...and believes we should do the same.

I don't like nor understand the disdain and outright hatred of middle eastern religions towards lgbt people. The Bible and Quran both call for killing gays for instance. As a result, anyone who interprets either of those books as the literal word of God makes me very nervous.

Quoted:


Because Jesus said "thou shalt stone the fags", right?   Oh wait, no, that's some other religion.

Judging someone based on their orientation goes against pretty much everything that Jesus taught.   And I'm pretty sure that judgement is reserved for God and God alone.   It's up to us to treat each other as neighbors.

Quoted:


You have exactly half the story...but convict all the same.....I have a "gay" daughter...and she has been nothing short of an ass to her parents..because we are conservative Christians...never once did we condemn or reject...she did that.

Quoted:


C-4 is just a bitter shit-bird who is still smarting from the last time He made a cockwomble of himself in a discussion.....or maybe it was the time before that.

He's basically nothing more than a semi-articulate shaved ape who has retreated to the back of his cage of ignorance to fling poop at those he feels inferior to.  

He can't help himself. Pitiful bastard.

Since you asked, the bible is filled with statements against homosexuality, both in the old and new testament. 30 years ago almost everybody in America considered it a grave perversion. An Intense media blitz over the last few decades, sent to you by the same people who brought us Obama, John Podesta, gun control, and every other liberal cause, has essentially brainwashed the population into seeing it as totally normal and even worse cool. Furthermore, these forces have labeled anyone who disagrees a hateful bigot. Christianity and post modern thought are mutually exclusive. Many churches have Incorporated post modern thought, omitting inconvenient truths, in the hopes of maintaining membership and to try to stave off spiteful media attacks. They deceive no one but themselves. Its better that they not pretend to practice Christianity than it is to practice a perverted version of it. Judgement will be worse for these people.

The bible tells people to repent from sin. A Kleptomaniac christian should feel remorse. A christian adulterer should feel remorse. A homosexual christian should feel remorse.
Every person lives with a inner weakness or burden, be it lust, greed, envy, sloth, pride, hate. Homosexuality is just a manifestation of this, a burden to those afflicted with it, just the same as any other.  
Any unrepentant sin, be it sexual or otherwise, separates you from the holy spirit and god. A person separated from god will never understand this. They have been snared by evil forces. The only antidote or cure is turning back to gods word.

As to why you should not support homosexuality? Well because you are supporting liberal propoganda! That is exactly what it is. Unlike other movements they financed, this one was very successful. So successful that liberal strategists use it as a template for every liberal cause. BLM, Socialism, climate change, universal health care, gun control are all pushed the same way and financed by the same people as normalizing homosexuality was. Liberal propaganda that stuck and has reshaped America.
