Call a gay a name or disagree with the LGBT agenda, and you loose endorsements, sponsorships, get fined, called a bigot, and lose your job.

Examples:
-NFL Player kisses boyfriend on TV and a another player tweets OMG Horrible and gets fined and suspended, simply because he didnt agree with 2 men kissing on national TV.
-NBA Player says a joke and says no homo afterwards and gets fined for saying a supposed gay slur. HOW IS NO-HOMO a gay slur???
-Kobe calls a ref a f@gg-- and gets fined big time, but players cuss on the court all the time and never gets that kind of fine.

If a pastor comes out and says he doesnt agree with the LGBT lifestyle, he is attacked and labeled hate speech, bigoted, and more... yet the bible CLEARLY says the LGBT lifestyle is a sin, yet they still want to take part in a religion that 100% says what they are doing is wrong and must be repented of.

All Christians need to keep taking a stand and not allowing this sexually immoral lifestyle to be accepted in their churches. Churches should welcome all, but the sin must be repented of whether its gay sex outside of marriage, straight sex outside of marriage or adultery. They are all sexual immorality and the bible says it is a sin and if you practice that lifestyle and die unrepentant in your sins, you will not go to heaven. Thats in the OT and NT.
Well, if there are any homosexuals on the forum, and I certainly believe there are, they have been pointed to enough scripture and exposed to the beliefs by enough folks that it is time they settled the issue with their own conscience. We have met our obligations to them fully. It is time to leave the matter between them and God. God can get their attention if he decides they are in error. He got Moses's attention. Isaiah's attention and almost blinded Paul to get his attention but in the end, He got all their attention.

They have the power of the news media (King of the airways - Satan), the Presidency, the Congress, etc., behind them as does the blacks (racial), the women ( gender- abortion and contraceptives), etc. They all scream VICTIM!! The blacks play the race card, the women the gender card, and the homos play their equal marriage rights card. The only one who doesn't have a special cave-out is the working white tax paying male. He's the fall guy.

Dude stop it already.

You do not know all people in the "gay crowd" and can therefore not speak for them.

There are actually many many gay people who appreciate "morality and upright living" just as much as some heterosexual people do.

Surely you learned somewhere along the way that to judge EVERY member of a group that you don't even know in the same way is called "prejudice"?

Why don't you just practice what Jesus taught..."love thy neighbor" and let God worry about all the rest

Marriage is not something the government came up with, it belongs to God and His church. Give them a similar union status just don't apply something they cannot have such as marriage. Actually there is a tax disadvantage for marriage. It is better from a tax standpoint to not marry and just live together. A couple with 6 children can live together, both get the head of household tax credit and both max out on earned income credit. Millions lie, claiming they are not married to get that today.

Absolutely, bibles are man-made. Scripture is written by heterosexual men. Women at the time were considered chattel. Sexual orientation dictates sexual attraction, not god's divine intervention. It is natural for heterosexual men to be disinterested in same sex relations, just as it is for homosexuals to have opposite sex relations. It is pretty clear that the human sex drive dictates attraction, not scripture written by men. Again, Moses is said to be the only one who ever communicated directly to god. The so-called "words" of god, are actually only the "inspired" words of god, at best.

Pride was considered the worst sin of all, it is displayed through ones arrogance as well. Pride was committed by Lucifer, the most beautiful angel of all. He thought he was above everyone else, judging others. He felt himself superior to others. Because of his behavior, he grew dark, and sinister, he grew a tail, he became the devil.

Yes, and in Leviticus, where it discusses man lying with another man, it is directed toward Levite priests. This was based on pederasty committed by priests having sex with prostitute boys. There was no understanding of homosexuality at this time, or sexual orientation.

Heterosexuality is the redistribution of the Human Species.

Homosexuality is the distribution of Human Feces. As gross or sick as this may sound THIS IS THE REALITY of homosexuality. God DID NOT design a man to want another mans behind. Man and woman was meant to procreate. If you put 1 million gays on and island and all they did for the rest of their life was the gay lifestyle, the entire continent would die off in 100 yrs.

God knew what he talking about when he said homosexuality is an abomination, as a man will never be able to teach a woman how to be a woman and a woman can never teach a man how to be a man and 2 of the same sex will never be able to make a child. The next hing i see happening is people trying to back incest, and bestiality since Jesus never spoke on them much either.
