I would not take any cult like ramblings on this forum seriously-
You can almost place the ramblings in the same catagory of the KKK, storm front , and neonazis.

Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.
You just don't realize, IamRedeemed, how unhelpful your posts are to someone who is homosexual, NOT by their own choice but because that is who they happen to be. You have no idea at all what it's like to walk in someone else's shoes and I find your tiresome and uncaring tirades on this forum to be most offensive.

The truth is sometimes "hurtful" to those who don't want to receive it. Homosexuals are no different than any of the rest of us who have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. The Word of God says that is ALL of us. (Romans 3:23) We ALL have to repent and turn away from our sinful lifestyles when we come to Christ no matter what they are. If they are on God's list as sin, we need to turn away from them. Homosexual practices are among those on the list.
Though I don't agree with homosexuality (now or ever)
Your presumption is astonishing.
We aren't talking about rape or sexual assault as it happens in today's world
we must consider that the rape in question may refer to kidnapping and not to sexual activity.
I am skeptical of your claim that Jesus would have been raped
It is dangerous, when talking about history, to make assumptions based upon our modern experiences.
The contents of this post is evidence of lack of study in the Word of God
and the covenants and lack of the leading of the Holy Ghost.
then preaching the idea that 'Jesus was probably raped' is heresy
...the content of that post was purely blasphemous.
Yes, I do realize this, catlover, but IamRedeemed appears to speak for the majority of Christians on this issue and they are by no means a minority group. I believe that Christianity in general – some professed Christians SPECIFICALLY - have been largely responsible for having driven the so-called 'gay agenda' to become today a force to be reckoned with. 'Gays' have been goaded into defending with such vigor what is to them no more than an involuntary sexual orientation they were blessed with that they’ve gained strength in numbers along the way. They desire no more than to share a life unhampered by bigots with the partner of their choice. According to the bigots, God says that they can't do that unless it happens to be with a partner of the opposite gender, otherwise they are doomed to eternal torment.
What?
Christians can give themselves an ironic pat on the back for helping to create a situation that has unfortunately backfired on them. History should - SHOULD is the operative word - teach us that any oppressed or maligned group will eventually rise up against those who created the situation to begin with. And, it stands to reason why this is so.
I believe that some/many Christians are promoting (even if unintentionally) the very evil that they preach against; however, they are so blinded by bigotry that they cannot see this. I am not 'gay' personally - not that I would need to justify myself to any religious group if I was - but I honestly cannot believe how the issue of homosexuality has been given a life of its own by the Christian Church. This focus on homosexuality is generally to the exclusion of the many REAL sins that Christians should be concentrating on such as the unbridled greed of the powerful in all of its forms that is creating a permanent underclass in society. Christianity has – and perhaps has always had – its priorities backward.
Why do gays and atheist or atheistic gays or gays who claim to be
disciples of Christ construe preaching the truth of God's Word as hate?

Look at the identifications there being used for some good clues:
First there's "gays"-kind of neutral but still an identification of some as "the other".
Then there's "atheist"-it doesn't seem anyone's belief system was being addressed in this thread.
Then "atheistic gays"-a double whammy. I may have missed it but I don't think anyone identified themselves as that.
Finally "gays who claim to be disciples of Christ"-the term "claim" appearing to indicate in your opinion they engage in deception by saying so, or or otherwise not correct in identifying as such-a sneering, cruel characterization.
After that, a characterization of what antigay individuals do as "preaching the truth of God's Word". Obviously there is not agreement that that is what is occurring. I certainly do not believe it is.
Maybe you will. Your current knowledge isn't perfect and absolute (no one's knowledge is), so you may eventually come across a fact that's going to convince you to change your mind.
Some disagree. I certainly disagree with the cruel characterization of another's capacity to love as a "practice".
Actually the person I addressed is by self-profession, both "gay" and "atheistic",
hence my response accordingly.
I didn't realize we were being subjected to examination by those in charge of self-righteousness.
Name?
It becomes ridiculous when one goes to the extreme effort to run all evidence on its own head as to negate its validity.Who's to say what's ridiculous or not? If you want to bait you're going to have to try a little harder.
why would someone interpret it in any other way, other than to make it agree with them? Would you call that Spirit-led interpretation or private interpretation? Scripture is truth, but truth does not conform to our wills, rather ours to it.Proving beyond a shadow of a doubt exactly how wrong it is when interpreted in that manner.
I know there are people who do this, as well as some who are selective in their interpretations as to profess that God encourages and loves gay sex. Are either ones right? by scripture?I suppose there is that remote possibility. Those that ARGUE that though-it's crystal clear that they are that at the very least given their selective emphasis of scriptural literalism to benefit their own ends.
That may be what you THINK you are doing but in that arrogant assumption you would be sorely mistaken. You are, of course, not in any position at all to know "false" teaching from "true" teaching and the arrogant pronouncement that you are is most unfortunate.
Declaring what is clearly indicated by a person's mocking questions or statements as
evidence of their lack of Biblical knowledge has nothing to do with anyone's
righteousness, self or otherwise.
