lol.

So you’re telling everyone you’ve never pleasured wo…

Never mind, what with being a kid friendly place.

Being gay or lesbian isn’t a mental illness or anything like that.

The trans, non-binary and all the rest are. Gender dysphoria or whatever it’s called.

Biggest lie from satan ever out there. Gay is definitely a choice. A sin. If it were NOT a choice - there would be none - because biologically they cant reproduce if they were genetically gay. But, they aren't they just choose sexual sin as they are deceived.
Way, way too many testimonies of gay folks that repent, turn their lives around, and raise very good families. Just another sin. Sin of homosexuality, nothing new to man.

Ok

That depends on what church you go to.

Doesn't matter what the church thinks - only matters what God says. Why you can't receive salvation from your church - church not going to save anyone.

And a lot of people dont understand trapping, hunting ranching or religion we must be odd to them and a lot of other folks. live and let live.

I don't think there's any turning back. Some bells can't be unrung.

Well, it's not necessarily the adulterer, but the divorce that I really, really, dislike. To be clear, both are sinful. (And it's not the divorcer, but the act of divorce.)

The difference in my attitude is that one causes far more problems in society than the other. Divorce is waaaaaày more prevalent in society than the LGBT thing. Half of all marriages end in divorce, and only something like 10% of people are LGBT, with only about 0.5% of people being trans.

Think of it this way ......how many LGBT people do you know? Probably not very many. But I'd bet you probably know a bunch of people, kids included, that have been messed up by a divorce.

Yet, I see people, especially conservatives, rail against the LGBT thing far more than see anyone rail against divorce.

Whats the difference?????

Why would God divorce Israel ? Why would he take her back?

Divorce goes even goes back to the Talmud. And in situations the woman could make the decision to leave and take her dowry with her. Prenuptials aren't a new idea either.

Divorce is the symptom and not the cause, but a hard heart is the cause. You can't cure a hard heat by throwing someone into a dungeon with a disgruntled spouse, until death do us part takes effect. It wasn't divorce that God hated but putting away !

I think where many flaw is thinking after divorce you are as dead and can't remarry. The ideal perpetual unpardonable sin ?


What is an abomination?

The Bible is pretty clear that both the act of divorce and homosexual acts are sinful, but I already affirmed that, and that wasn't my point. My point point was that one of those (divorce) is far more prevalent is our society, and seems to cause a lot more problems, but seems to mostly gets a free pass.

Someone said that they used to beat up gay/trans people because they were taught that it was wrong. But, I'd bet they were also taught that divorce is wrong, and yet never beat up someone for getting divorced.

It seems to me that the issue isn't really the fact that being gay is a sin, it's that it's just easy to hate on gay/trans people

If it was really about sinful behavior, we'd see both issues treated with the same disdain.

I see your point Loosegoose.

Our inability to place equity on sins is one more thing that proves we are not God like.

I'm seeing a lot of attention getters at Walmart checkers lately, from over indulgence in tattoos, hair color, one boy the other day had a chain coming out his nose with something dangling on his chin. I don't see how he could eat or blow his nose. I think a lot of it is about personal identity but a lot of it is about attaching their identity to a cause. Which is really nullifying because then the attention is not about them but their cause. My guess is they need to belong to something bigger, with the break down of the family nucleus they no longer feel like they belong to anything and seek a cause.

Here is a tidbit from an article with some points. I know it takes time to read lengthy articles so I chopped it down a little:

Faking helplessness: One method people with attention-seeking behaviors behave is by feigning helplessness in situations they are perfectly adept at handling. Feigning helplessness gives them an avenue to seek attention from others.

Causing conflict: Causing conflict in public or private to create a scene that will garner attention from the people around you. They’ll often also need to be at the center of the conflict.

Constantly looking for sympathy from others: Examples of this kind of behavior include playing up a small injury so that family and friends can fuss over you. Or expressing extreme emotions over a small loss, like a favorite purse or pair of shoes.

Needing to be complimented: It’s normal to want to be complimented. However, needing to be complimented can cause you to exhibit unhealthy behaviors in a bid to fish for compliments from people. Sometimes a need to be complimented is born out of insecurities. However, fishing for compliments is an unhealthy way to deal with insecurities.
Lying and embellishing stories: Making up over-the-top stories that are guaranteed to get a reaction out of people is another way people who need attention may behave.

I have met a good friend who has tattoos every wear. He is clean cut, well groomed, and built like a brick house. Few years ago - I would have been scared to be near the man. Tats everywhere - both arms shoulders, legs, neck covered and some on cheeks and forehead. It was only about 7 months ago when I slowed down, went over to pray for this man and listened to him and his story. We shared our past and I learned he struggled with drugs and addiction. But, when I watched him be transformed by the renewing of his mind and his heart truly repent and receive Christ and Lord - I visually could see the change in his life. I saw him 3 months after our initial meeting and could see the radiance and happiness he now carries. We share devotions and pray for others now. We as men - tell each other we love each other and thank God for what He has done in us. I see this man grow in his walk with Jesus and line out his future. We all make mistakes and all have sinned - what do we do when we know better and are truly forgiven by our Creator? Do we do as God called us and go out and reach the lost and those seeking attention? God used a man hooked on meth for over 30 years to teach me - He loved that man in his addiction the same as me in my self-righteous attempt to walk with Jesus. The same - He is no respecter of persons and I should be more like Christ. I look forward to seeing my tatted up friend in a few weeks to see what God has been teaching him. I pray the Lord works in all of us so we all can be the light in this dark world He has called us to be.

I can't imagine a bigger or better cause than "The Cause Of Jesus". There has never been a bigger cause that drew more attention. It was not done in secret nor in any hidden corner, but on top of a hill for the whole world to see !

Figure this one out...
There was a girl who attended our church that my generation would have considered a tomboy because she enjoyed activities that are predominately male dominated. However the millennial world view suggested that she wasn't a tomboy but was actually a boy in a girl's body. She accepted that "reality" and now lives as a young man named Jay. Well Jay married a girl who worked with her. Now according to the millennial world view this would not be considered a homosexual relationship since it involved a "male" and a female. I wonder if Jay see's the light, divorces the wife, becomes involved in a relationship with a biological male, and marries him, would Jay be guilty of adultery?
