If that statement had been 'I'm on the side of professionals who say that we don't need to transition this particular kid', then it would have carried a lot of weight. Otherwise you are saying nothing more that 'I don't want this to happen'. Period.I'm on the side of the professionals who say we don't need to transition kids.
I take that as agreement that nowhere in the Gospels does anybody say that all gay people lie. I go further, because no part of the scriptures actually makes that absurd accusation.Who do you think told Paul to write that? He has the mind of Christ. That was God, speaking through him and Jesus is God.
I am an atheist brought up in the Church and rejecting its teachings. How do you expect me to answer that? My interest here is this: a poster made a false statement about Scripture which he - of course - could not back up.By the way do you actually believe the gospels and everything that is written there? If Jesus said something you would believe it? Or are you actually trying to prove something else?
Hey, you should have been here earlier. When that was proved to be a lie. Check back on the earlier posts, why don't you. And it won't then appear as if you are one of those who wanted it to be true and couldn't be bothered to check.sick
How many times does one have to say this? It depends on the situation of the individual child. Making nonsensical comparisons just makes your position look nonsensical.Really? Even if the child wanted to tattoo their face to look like a skeleton? Maybe a red demon? Or they wanted a full body tattoo to look like a gold fish or a dragon.
I mean what other parent would do anything different?
I mean if it was in the best interest of the child after all.
I am not really interested in all that, as you must know.
Here is what Divide claimed earler what scripture had to say about gay people:
'everything out of their mouths is lies'.
But it is not so.
You can call them anything you like. What you can't do is show that you have scriptural backing. You have not.It is so and very very true. Maybe I could see tht they might tell the truth if the mention to someone I have to use the bathroom or something like that. So let's call them 99.99996% Liars.
We'll convert your children
Happens bit by bit
Quietly and subtlety
And you will barely notice it
I find that to be untrue as it's been highly noticeable.
We'll convert your children...
We'll make them tolerant and fair...
The gay agenda is here!
Make them - sounds like influencing. Tolerant and fair - can't that be taught without the gay agenda being the means?
We'll make an ally of you yet!
The song corroborates everything I've been saying about the LGBTQIA2+agenda.
Dreadful, isn't it?So the terrible, awful, dreadful, terrifying gay agenda is to... make people not hate gay people and not treat gay people like subhuman trash?
That's the agenda I've been warned about for decades now? That the gays are going to come and try and make people hate gay people less? That's the thing I'm supposed to be afraid of? That's the thing I'm supposed to protect my children from? Kindness? I'm supposed to protect my children from kindness?

My interests are to defend the Gospel and present the Christ in the contriteness that all people are condemned sinners under the law, wherefore Christ came to save not to condemn. Jesus taught grace and forgiveness. Jesus said to not judge lest we be judged, and that we ourselves would be judged by what measure we use to judge others. Wherein the merciful will receive mercy.Indeed. But you are undoubtedly aware that homosexuality is brought up as being sinful much more than other sins, when it is obviously a matter that involves a very small percentage of the population. To the point where we have a poster calling for all gay teachers to be sacked. Should we sack all those who have been divorced? Who have had an abortion? Who might have had sex outside marriage?
I agree. But I think the confrontation here is more about flaunting sinfulness as not dishonorable and even preferable behavior. It's intentional and meant to push certain buttons to provoke a response. To me, the devises of the devil are written all over this, inviting condemnation and self-condemnation.The obvious question to ask is just what in heaven's name somebody's private details have to do with anyone else. Do people say that you can invite someone over for dinner with their girlfriend except if they are sleeping together? Do you need to send then a questionnaire before they can come over. 'Please tick all the boxes that are applicable'. Of course not.
You can call them anything you like. What you can't do is show that you have scriptural backing. You have not.
You don't seem to understand your own posts.
I know that there is plenty of scripture condemning homosexuality. It gets trotted out on a regular basis, always Leviticus and Paul, sometime with a bit of Timothy thrown in. I have never said there wasn't.Oh, plenty of scriptural backing has been posted and it's easy to understand for those of us who have eyes to see and ears to hear.
If I'm supposed to be kind and accepting to the gays and I made an effort to grasp this political correctness jive, then what? Then I have to post only things which are non offensive to them? So you're asking me to change, right? Come join our club he says! Oh but what will people think of me if I continue to speak the truth?!
So you wanna brand me as a bad guy? Why do you want me to change my beliefs to fit yours? No respect? You ask me to give respect to the gay people and imply I am a bad guy if I don't You want my tolerance? My respect? SHall I celebrate diversity? Question: If you want this respect from me towards you and the gays, tthen why can't you do the same thing for me and my beliefs? Now you are a bad guy too, lol.
Don't you be discriminatiing on me and my beliefs or I'll whine and get help, Lol!
Dude, you don't ask someone to do something that you wouldnt do yourself. They had a term for that a long time ago, I can't remember what it was... Oh yeah! I remember, a punk. So you eat what it is that youre shoveling.
But you're on a thread discussing homosexuality which was set up to criticize gay people. The OP itself shows a fabricated video which purports to link members of a choir with paedophiles. It's outrageous that someone should consider that a reflection of gay people. The vast majority of whom, just like heterosexual people, are living normal lives trying to get by. But what they all have to put up with are threads like this when they are all described as being sinful and obscene. Even to the point where someone is calling for any teacher who is gay to be sacked. That all gay people lie. That all gay people are sexually interested in children.I would therefore see it as carnal and hypocritical to pick out particular forms of sin to prosecute, and ironically that would include the hypocritical sin of picking out particular sins to prosecute.

There is nothing in the Gospels which claims that all gays are liars. That is something you just made up. That is what I called you on. You could go back and check.
Only if you want to deny everything that's going on with LGBTQQIP2SAA+.So the terrible, awful, dreadful, terrifying gay agenda is to... make people not hate gay people and not treat gay people like subhuman trash?

There have always been non-effeminate gay men. How is not being effeminate part of an agenda?Where was I being dogmatic about gays being liars? Nowhere, we had been discussing my opinion based on 61 years on this planet.
Remember how the gays used to few & far between? They were all effeminate and stuff and were basically in the closet? Essentially they were but a social annoyance and nothing more. But the times they are a changing. They're not effeminate anymore. They're on a mission with an agenda.
And yes, they are all liars and I have proved it, yet you will not see it.
Yeah that's all that's going on wink wink.Dreadful, isn't it?
They will have people being nice to one another next, the rascals! It's the thin end of the wedge. It just goes to show. The pharisees were right all along.
I realize that there is someone posting in this in this thread that is the epitome of the stereotype that you would like to label everyone who doesn’t support teaching young children things that they are too young for, but not all of us are homophobic bigots who just wish LGBTQ people would stay in the closet.But you're on a thread discussing homosexuality which was set up to criticize gay people.

That's the obscenity here.
A great deal of live and let live was established a good twenty years ago.I realize that there is someone posting in this in this thread that is the epitome of the stereotype that you would like to label everyone who doesn’t support teaching young children things that they are too young for, but not all of us are homophobic bigots who just wish LGBTQ people would stay in the closet.
Some of us have legitimate concerns but don’t support discrimination or trying to dehumanize some people because they are different.
