Christians carrying the Rainbow Flag, have you considered this?

[Moonglow]

What burns me is a rainbow of all things being what they use to address this issue in the first place. To me, a rainbow already has a meaning and that meaning is the Lord's promise to never flood the planet again like it was flooded when Noah built the ark.

God bless you always!!!

Not everyone subscribes to that allegory....

 

[Where_r_my_Keys]

Well that is dumber than most of your crap. How exactly did you determine that it was degeneracy? Your religious beliefs don't count because this isn't a theocracy. Define degenerate in a logical way goober.

I used the meaning of the word degeneracy and the correlating deviant behavior inherent in Homosexuality.

My Religion merely informs me of its immorality... Science informs me of its degeneracy.

Still struggling with homosexuality.

Please stop trying to enflame the discussion.

I understand that you feel that projecting sexual deviancy upon someone that this delegitimizes the individual. Because in your mind, sexual deviancy is illegitimate behavior.

And you're right... degeneracy is illegitimate behavior.

But... sadly, for your would-be 'position', the issue is not me... the issue is the 40 questions set to those who claim themselves to be Christians, but who claim to support the Normalization of Sexual Deviancy; and how that position squares with the principles that define their faith.

 

[Syriusly]

Came across this and thought it presented the Christian argument very well:

"If you consider yourself a Bible-believing Christian, a follower of Jesus whose chief aim is to glorify God and enjoy him forever, there are important questions I hope you will consider before picking up your flag and cheering on the sexual revolution. These questions aren’t meant to be snarky or merely rhetorical. They are sincere, if pointed, questions that I hope will cause my brothers and sisters with the new rainbow themed avatars to slow down and think about the flag you’re flying.

1. How long have you believed that gay marriage is something to be celebrated?

2. What Bible verses led you to change your mind?

3. How would you make a positive case from Scripture that sexual activity between two persons of the same sex is a blessing to be celebrated?

4. What verses would you use to show that a marriage between two persons of the same sex can adequately depict Christ and the church?

5. Do you think Jesus would have been okay with homosexual behavior between consenting adults in a committed relationship?

6. If so, why did he reassert the Genesis definition of marriage as being one man and one woman?

7. When Jesus spoke against porneia what sins do you think he was forbidding?

8. If some homosexual behavior is acceptable, how do you understand the sinful “exchange” Paul highlights in Romans 1?

9. Do you believe that passages like 1 Corinthians 6:9 and Revelation 21:8 teach that sexual immorality can keep you out of heaven?

10. What sexual sins do you think they were referring to?

11. As you think about the long history of the church and the near universal disapproval of same-sex sexual activity, what do you think you understand about the Bible that Augustine, Aquinas, Calvin, and Luther failed to grasp?

12. What arguments would you use to explain to Christians in Africa, Asia, and South America that their understanding of homosexuality is biblically incorrect and your new understanding of homosexuality is not culturally conditioned?

13. Do you think Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were motivated by personal animus and bigotry when they, for almost all of their lives, defined marriage as a covenant relationship between one man and one woman?

14. Do you think children do best with a mother and a father?

15. If not, what research would you point to in support of that conclusion?

16. If yes, does the church or the state have any role to play in promoting or privileging the arrangement that puts children with a mom and a dad?

17. Does the end and purpose of marriage point to something more than an adult’s emotional and sexual fulfillment?

18. How would you define marriage?

19. Do you think close family members should be allowed to get married?

20. Should marriage be limited to only two people?

21. On what basis, if any, would you prevent consenting adults of any relation and of any number from getting married?

22. Should there be an age requirement in this country for obtaining a marriage license?

23. Does equality entail that anyone wanting to be married should be able to have any meaningful relationship defined as marriage?

24. If not, why not?

25. Should your brothers and sisters in Christ who disagree with homosexual practice be allowed to exercise their religious beliefs without fear of punishment, retribution, or coercion?

26. Will you speak up for your fellow Christians when their jobs, their accreditation, their reputation, and their freedoms are threatened because of this issue?

27. Will you speak out against shaming and bullying of all kinds, whether against gays and lesbians or against Evangelicals and Catholics?

28. Since the evangelical church has often failed to take unbiblical divorces and other sexual sins seriously, what steps will you take to ensure that gay marriages are healthy and accord with Scriptural principles?

29. Should gay couples in open relationships be subject to church discipline?

30. Is it a sin for LGBT persons to engage in sexual activity outside of marriage?

31. What will open and affirming churches do to speak prophetically against divorce, fornication, pornography, and adultery wherever they are found?

32. If “love wins,” how would you define love?

33. What verses would you use to establish that definition?

34. How should obedience to God’s commands shape our understanding of love?

35. Do you believe it is possible to love someone and disagree with important decisions they make?

36. If supporting gay marriage is a change for you, has anything else changed in your understanding of faith?

37. As an evangelical, how has your support for gay marriage helped you become more passionate about traditional evangelical distinctives like a focus on being born again, the substitutionary sacrifice of Christ on the cross, the total trustworthiness of the Bible, and the urgent need to evangelize the lost?

38. What open and affirming churches would you point to where people are being converted to orthodox Christianity, sinners are being warned of judgment and called to repentance, and missionaries are being sent out to plant churches among unreached peoples?

39. Do you hope to be more committed to the church, more committed to Christ, and more committed to the Scriptures in the years ahead?

40. When Paul at the end of Romans 1 rebukes “those who practice such things” and those who “give approval to those who practice them,” what sins do you think he has in mind?"

40 Questions for Christians Now Waving Rainbow Flags TGC

36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’a]">[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’b]">[b] 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

 

[Syriusly]

Not a christian but to me ANYONE who is OK with faggot's marrying is NOT a christian...I was raised a christian and CHOSE to leave that faith behind...

Not a christian put to me ANYONE who calls someone a f*ggot is no different than the person who calls someone a N*gger or a K*ke or a C*nt.

 

[Papageorgio]

So in an attempt to injure me, the Prog feels that one sure way to do so is to project shameful behavior upon me? And what shameful behavior is it projecting? Why Homosexuality of course... because, the level of shame from sexual deviancy is equal to the level of deviancy and there is NO SEXUAL DEVIANCY THAT DEVIATES FARTHER FROM THE HUMAN PHYSIOLOGICAL STANDARD... THAT HOMOSEXUALITY.

It's not your homosexuality that's an issue; it's the way you hide in the closet about it.

Why would his sexuality be any of your business? Why do you care? The left tells us that who people sleep with is their own business. Now you claim someone's sexuality is an issue. Which is it?

Not a christian put to me ANYONE who calls someone a f*ggot is no different than the person who calls someone a N*gger or a K*ke or a C*nt.

Do you call someone who steals a thief?
Someone that cheats on their spouse an adulterer?

 

[konradv]

It's not your homosexuality that's an issue...

That's true, becuase, 'the issue' is your projection of homosexuality upon me... which you do because you instinctively recognize that Homosexuality is intrinsically shameful.

You keep having to repeat the same things over and over, because even you don't believe it. Hiding your true nature leads to mental disease.

Marriage is the Joining of One Man and One Woman.

Still trying to convince yourself, I see.

[bodecea]

The vast majority of Christians have the intelligence and sophistication to understand the difference between marriage as state contract law and marriage as religious ritual ...

Marriage is the Joining of One Man and One Woman.

Ephesians 5:22-33
Chapter Parallel Compare
22 Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. 25Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church-- 30 for we are members of his body. 31"For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." 32 This is a profound mystery--but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
Looks like the wife is a possession, I wonder how many wives go along with that today.

Well I'm sure Stephanie is a possession....until she gets dropped off at Goodwill.

Why does Where_r_my_brains constantly post about gay sex?

Why does Where_r_my_brains preach about gay sex, not unlike Ted Haggard?

Why is Where_r_my_brains obsessed with sniffing the crotches of gay people?

Just curious...

Ted Haggard used to say that.
