It's not fair

Sorry, but HONK! that's the wrong answer. You Tube and Yahoo have very sophisticated tracking programs that tell them what type of ad to send to you. I did a search on the Titanic a few weeks ago, and I am still getting ads about cruises to the Bahamas. I didn't look for cruises, but that is one of the parameters. I also get ads about "Titanic" the movie, and "Titanic" the play, and books about the Titanic.

yup. Like your Titanic example.

Those imperfect algorithms decide the ads we get.

Yes bacterial overgrowth and it's messing up my teeth, my hair, my wallet, any skin, my stomach, my brain, and making me smell awful.

That sounds awful.
-in the name of Jesus.. Be healed .

Angeleyes, you said that you felt PERSONALLY bullied by the LGBT agenda (whatever that is). Do you actually think that the head officers of Queer Central have a daily meeting to discuss what they are going to do to Angeleyes today?

I learned very early that life is not all about me. Have you learned this yet?

Glory to Jesus Christ!

It's easy to think something isn't important when it doesn't directly affect you. It's much harder to put yourself in the shoes of the other and see the world through different eyes.
If you are "sick" of LGBT individuals coming out consider that they might be equally as sick of hiding and pretending to be something they aren't.
Just a thought.

I'm sure in their circle of friends ans the bars they frequent, they are well known. It's not a case of hiding, it's a case of wanting the world to know like it is some sort of liberation. I for one don't want to know. period.

 

[CrystalDragon]

EVERYONE is given that chance...God is not unfair. The Word has gone out into ALL the world and it is our responsibility as parents to pass the Word down to the next generation.

I'm pretty sure there are people in the world who haven't heard of Jesus.

I'm sure you opinions are well known in the bars you frequent.

Exactly.

If you're getting too many gay agenda ads, then it means you're spending too much time obsessing about your hatred of their agenda on the internet. The mere fact that you're talking about it here on the forum is probably going to cause more of those types of ads on your computer. Heck, the mere fact that I'm talking about it will probably cause more of those ads on MY computer....lol.

But guess what? I'm enough of a grown-up to ignore them.

Then don't listen!

I'm pretty sure God can reach them...
Romans 8:28-30:
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

So then, both hearing the Word and salvation itself is all according to God's will and purpose.
Parents may not have seen fit to pass down the teachings of Jesus to their children as the were commanded and so we still evangelize to the next generations...
Psalm 78:1-8:
My people, hear my teaching;
listen to the words of my mouth.
I will open my mouth with a parable;
I will utter hidden things, things from of old—
things we have heard and known,
things our ancestors have told us.
We will not hide them from their descendants;
we will tell the next generation
the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord,
his power, and the wonders he has done.
He decreed statutes for Jacob
and established the law in Israel,
which he commanded our ancestors
to teach their children,
so the next generation would know them,
even the children yet to be born,
and they in turn would tell their children.
Then they would put their trust in God
and would not forget his deeds
but would keep his commands.
They would not be like their ancestors—
a stubborn and rebellious generation,
whose hearts were not loyal to God,
whose spirits were not faithful to him.

And yes, the Word about Jesus was declared to the ends of the earth at the time of His ascension...
Colossians 1:21-23:
Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation— if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.

Remember in Jesus' day the Roman Empire existed and it extended over the earth and the Jews were scattered throughout the world and they too all came together for the Passover when Jesus was crucified and were gathered again at Pentecost to hear the teachings...remember?

Well then, what you're suggesting never happened.

Bible as I quoted says yes...Acts would be another good quote.
When the Word is not preserved by teaching it to your children that is sin and successive generations may bear that sin.
Here's Acts...
Acts 2:5:
Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven.
I already quoted Colossians...read them before you post...or I'll ignore you just as you are ignoring the Truth in favor of your own logic and reasoning.

There were many groups spread over the Earth, and news of Jesus and the Israelites were only known of in that specific group.

The Roman Empire was large, but it didn't extend "over the earth".

Sure, I'll grant there were some Jews from other nations of the known world there in Jerusalem....but not ALL of the Jews in even the known world were there as you seem to suggest.

You can ignore me all you want. Everyone else will still read my posts. Logic and reasoning brought us out of the Dark Ages. Seems folks like you would still have us wallowing in that muck. If God didn't want us to use our brains, he wouldn't have given us the ability.

That is not true at all. I get the feeling you do not read and understand the Scriptures at all. Bible says they spread the news everywhere...they did not keep it to themselves. There are so many ways in which it was preached, but the main evidence any human can hang his hat on is the Scriptures. You are skipping over the passaage I cited...Colossians 1:23 and just making random comments.

You don't hear of any other cultures mentioning of Paul, Peter, Moses, Noah, or Jesus, and many of them have different flood stories and they worshipped different gods. If the Bible had been preached to all the world at the time, wthose other biblical figures would have been mentioned elsewhere.

I would only be guessing and this topic of yours is not news to me nor does it make me doubt the Bible.
A guess would be and it would only be a guess because I'm not willing to entertain your ideas and readings beyond just guessing...that just as you can get yourself a knock-off pair of designer jeans so can you find knock-off Jewish and Christian religions in the world. Suppose they had lots of arguments with pure doctrine...O.T. and N.T. alike...much as we see happening today and even right here...pickers-and-choosers...and perhaps some just trying to exert control over their people and such evil desires. Perhaps they knew some or all of the Jewish religion and copied the practices. Even in the book of Acts you see that one man...Simon the Scorcerer (Acts 8) wanted to buy the power of the Holy Spirit to perform miracles...such is the nature of the man without the spirit.
