Bull shit. They don't hate anyone. Many do but most do not.
Yes, many folk do hate with a passion gay folk but not the Cathy family.
I do not agree with their opinion that "the gay lifestyle is a choice and a sin" as my church does not believe that.
But just because they believe them does not make them haters of anything.
I know many of these folks and they do not hate gays. In fact a good friend of mine is strict Southern Baptist and just last week I was at the football field and he was at the fence watching practice talking to an openly gay teacher at the school and the discussion was football, not politics or religion.
I KNOW THESE FOLKS, most of them I do not agree with many of their religous beliefs, but they are fine and decent people.
Shame their good name gets slaughtered in the media. Maybe their support of some of the organizations causes some more folk to hate gays but you can not fault them for that.
What I don't understand is this, how can a church say that they are a church that believes in the word of God, for which is found all through their Bibles as pertaining to each period that is being spoken of or is being spoken to, and this as it is found within their bibles to be therefore agreed upon by the church, and is agreed upon that it is their doctrine in which their foundation is built upon (or) that their teachings of the Bible are being done in the spirit of gaining membership or converting people to a better understanding of life, just as it is learned from the book in which they believe in, and do read as truth, but then somehow along the way they become sympothetic with the devil or his ways for which is found along the path in which they begin (straying), to then begin twisting the word to conform to what man decides is his truth, and not that of the Lords truth in which the church therefore was built upon in this truth ?
If entertained by them enough, it causes many a bad thing to begin to come upon them and their society of people in which they have preached to over the years, but now have gone another way. They even place the church in peril itself I think, when this sort of thing begins to go on, but they do it anyway and no matter these days it seems.
I just don't get this really.
Either you believe the Bible and the time periods for which it is speaking to amongst the generations or you don't believe in any of it at all. Right now we are living within the New Testement period, where many understandings are being learned from within these periods as it was written for, and if we just let the wisdom of the period as is found within the book speak to us again, and not deny it as "ima" is trying to do for us all, then we may begin to learn something again. I listen to what the spirit has to say, and I follow no man or woman upon this earth unless they have something profitable to offer in their words spoken, then I may entertain their thoughts for which may become wisdom or profitable unto me, and this as pertaining to the Bible and the word within it that is profitable unto me, and only then will I do this entertaining of.
