Some Christians have gone into a meltdown because they saw a rainbow flag on a picture of the set of "The Chosen". I've learned enough in my 72 years to seek for more information before reacting.

It appears that a contractor came on set with a rainbow flag. And that's all there is to it. It is illegal to discriminate on the basis of sexuality, so the producers could not refuse the contractor's services. The individual whoever or whatever he/she/it is, was witnessed to. That is always a good thing. A link to CBN's report follows.

Just wait until some discover that there's a story in the Bible that famously involved a rainbow, or that there's a guy in there that wore a flamboyant many-colored coat that his dad gave him.

I mean, they did try several years ago to re-write the Bible because it was "too woke".

People need to quit watching all these movies and study the Word of God. Movies are not reality ... God's written Word is.

CNN is not a movie. Its sole purpose is to report facts. So you have no ground to stand on with that argument.

The reality is what actually happens. It is the facts. And what actually happens is not always what is in God's Word.

I also would hate to see a rainbow flag with the word "chosen" written on it, but nobody has the right to deny a product or service to LGBT people just because they are LGBT. That is as much against God as being LGBT because Jesus did not discriminate against anyone based on which sins people committed.

"Pride" month is sin month. Sin is celebrated by evil that is pervasive everywhere. Good thing most people reject evil or we would not exist.

Not true. People actually are born lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. God makes genes. Sexual identification and orientation are genetic traits. We are not allowed to marry other people of the same sex. We are not allowed to convert children into the opposite sex. But if God is our Creator, it is not a sin to have the genes for natural LGBT genetic traits.

Most people embrace evil BTW. There are 8 billion people on the planet and less than 2.5 billion are Christians. The number of Christians has been shrinking. One reason for this is LGBT pride.

Never seen any evidence of a gay gene. God didn't make people gay naturally they become gay. There is a natural attraction between man and woman in nature just like with the animals. People make mistakes, sometimes lifetime mistakes, but Jesus can forgive them if they accept Jesus.

I don't know how many people live here and there is really no reliable data base as states falsify numbers as it is to their advantage. We certainly can use adjectives such as many.

CNN is not a server of facts. It is a server of falsities and deception. Their ratings have sunken so low now to near nothing as they have been caught so many times in their falsities that people reject them as bearers.

Partially.

There are some gene variations that are more commonly associated with same-sex attraction than others. However, someone could have all the genetic markers for a predisposition to same-sex attraction and still not be lesbian, gay, bisexual (or be transgender for that matter).

Some people are indeed "born gay", but it's not just a matter of genetics. There is a extremely complicated interrelation of factors that goes into the composition of the spectrum of human sexuality.

I'd say that even when viewed charitably, CNN doesn't just report facts, but opinion pieces as well.

I've tried for a long time to be bisexual because of having double the number of people I would find attractive. I haven't yet succeeded in this endeveaour.

Homosexuality is a sin. It is a sin that can be forgiven, with the acceptance of Christ and the renounciation and discontination of the behaviour, but it is a sin nevertheless. I treat everyone with compassion and understanding, but also tell the truth.

How do you explain homosexual behaviour in animals?

Things will indeed play out according to Gods Word .... with things getting progressively worse until He returns .... and they are.

It was a flag and why somebody got upset about it is beyond me .... Who cares? There are all kinds of different flags displayed all over the
place .... and so what? Battle of the flags? LOL
