Sin is Sin All Sins Are Equal.

No one is proposing this. I'd like to see such churches lose tax exemptions but that is not realistic at this point.

You just made my point. and your last quote isnt worth adressing because you arent me to speak for me and what i do but if personally attacking other people makes you feel better then have a nice day sweetie.

Whatever. I'm too kind.

 

[IamRedeemed]

Ditto.

You have a right to your opinion. You do not have a right to express it free of criticism.

Because its being demanded all over that we accept it and agree with it and treat it as something other than what it is and that is sin.

If we dont agree with it - we are told we hate them (not true) If we wont pretend its ok - we are called bigots (not true) If we wont embrace it - we are told we discriminate - If we say that its sin - we are told we are liars.

We are also being told to bless it in our churches and that its not a sin anymore when it is -while we watch our bibles be rewritten and our children told its ok and told we must accept it or even be sued many times.

We teach our children its wrong to steal - why shouldnt we also teach them homosexuality is just as wrong and just as much sin.

If you dont want anyone in your bedroom - keep what you do in your bedroom and dont demand others accept it. Dont shove it in my face and i wont complain about it.

But catlover, that is precisely what the religious right does not want to proffer toward their LGBT brothers and sisters exactly. That is the purpose behind the conspiracy mongering and distortions.

Yes, of course only they are worthy of being treated as human beings...little did I know certain brands of Christianity are like country clubs.

Your response to this:

You just repeated yourself one of the reasons i told you why more is said about this sin than another.

If a thief held up what he stole in my face and demanded I accept it and embrace it and allow for it - i would be equally vocal about that sin.

You admit by your op its sin - yet say I discriminate if I wont openly accept your sin. Should I allow a murderer to murder and embrace it so I wont be "discriminating" against them? Certainly not.

You asked why its more focused on and then answered yourself one of the main reasons. We shouldnt have to "embrace" sin.

Also allowing for sin as a people brings Gods judgment on us all as a society.

The selfishness of the religious right brings God's judgement on society.

If you want you can move to Saudi Arabia where gay people are killed, I am sure some people, here, would love that.

Thank-God we don't live in a right wing Christian theocracy which is what you want.

 

[IamRedeemed]

Indeed you are right. Certain "brands" as you call it are like "country clubs".
If you don't condone sin as an acceptable way of life and teach others the same
you can't be a member.

That's not what Biblical history shows is true.

[Angel4Truth]

Catlover did you ask why we talk about this sin more so you all can attack us or were you actually interested in knowing why? How can you admit its sin - then demand us to embrace you sinning?

 

[Angel4Truth]

Anyone who cares about your soul will tell you the truth.

My soul is just fine and I am alright with God-simply because I believe people who are scape goated by fundamentlists in society, are not evil or bad and should be treated as human beings, does not put my soal in jeapordy..in fact my message to the homosexuals who are treated as less than people, here, is that GOD loves you. Don't listen to the hate.

Because it's not gluttony, divorce, remarriage, or gossip.

 

[Angel4Truth]

catlover - if you can admit its a sin by your op then also say its ok to willfully sin - can you really say you are repentant before God?

Dont ask questions like in your op if you really dont want an answer. You already know the answer and you already know its a sin and if you are comfortable before God asking others to embrace sin well there really isnt anything else for me to say to you because your choice is made. You will be in my prayers.

Cut it out you guys. Treat each other with love, or don't post.

I am not sinning-by promoting equality for gays...

comfortable with what? I am heterosexual but unlike some people here I don't believe I am superior in God's eyes to a homosexual.

Of course when you folks stop promoting divorce, remarriage, gossip and gluttony, I will then move on to condeming the alleged evils of homosexuals.

 

[IamRedeemed]

Where are the Scriptures that support that?
The rest of mankind is required by God to repent
and turn from our sin to be saved.

Where is the asterisk giving immunity
to a particular group of sinners?

My soul is just fine and I am alright with God-simply because I believe people who are scape goated by fundamentlists in society, are not evil or bad and should be treated as human beings, does not put my soal in jeapordy.

Who is promoting those things!?

I agree that there are people who look at the speck of homosexual sawdust in their own eye, and ignore the adulterous plank in their own, but that is no reason to support a sin repugnant in God's eyes.

Evangelicals have a higher divorce rate than other denominations.http://www.barna.org/FlexPage.aspx?Page=BarnaUpdateNarrowPreview&BarnaUpdateID=295

Plus there are church pot lucks that encourages gluttony-and anyone who has been to church knows about the gossip...

Sinning is different than promotion.
