If I am vitriolic, Vizio, it is toward the vicious ideas espoused by those people and not toward them personally. I take joy in expounding the Way Jesus taught. If that entails correcting misrepresentations, I take joy in expressing the truth.
If you were capable of pointing out the "iniquity" in what you are so viciously opposed to, you would have a point, meanwhile we will continue to espouse the truth that love requires.
You present a false love, not the love taught by Jesus.
A little more tolerance of others would go a long way to convincing people otherwise.
You still don't get it. I will NEVER "tolerate" the expressions of views diametrically opposed to the Way Jesus taught. If you are in that position, you may take it personally. Examine your reasons for doing so.
The homosexualists have accomplished their goal of getting government to accept their perversion, now they want Bible believers silenced. It's a natural progression. They will get their desire for a season, but it had to happen so the Scriptures are fulfilled. Jesus said that He would not return until the days were like Sodom & Gomorrah. Those days are at hand.
I will not allow you to take civil rights away from your brothers and sisters. They are not harming you.
You are using God and that is quite perverse.
I do not want you silenced. I like when men such as yourself show themselves. I see you. God sees you.
You are a single man, and God wants you to find your own robust relationship. That way you will stop paying attention to the gay couple next door.
Sodom and Gomorrah was about the Gospel of Selfishness. A fundamentalist ideology such as yours fits the bill.
Ooo, careful. He's doesn't seem too good at answering harder questions that fall outside his indoctrinated responses...at least based on my experience...still hasn't responded to my first post
So why don't you? You seem to take joy in criticizing others.

There is no joy in telling others that they are harming or hurting people because they THINK their God wants them to. There is only sadness. Your beliefs apply to you and you alone, Vizio, try to get that through your head and worry about what YOU are doing or not doing. You do NOT help God by trying to force others or mistreat others to get them to do or believe what YOU do, period. What God wants has to be voluntary.

What if you're wrong about what Jesus taught? Methinks you wouldn't tolerate Jesus if he appeared on earth today.

Worrying about sins "other" people commit---all quite the most horrible, of course---while minimizing and even ignoring one's own---is the very definition of a legalistic Pharisee.
Until you see your own sins as worse than EVERYONE else, you'll never be anything but a ringing gong or clanging cymbal for others.

::Sigh: You would crucify Him again.
