Jesus warned that christians would be hated, despised, persecuted, etc due to their faith...so this kind of thing should be expected from the secular world, Ive said it before... its impossible to be a faithful christian AND a good model citizen in the secular community too.

THAT one^ is seriously tired and NO one really buys it. The truth is simply that hateful ideas garner disgust.

please share about your persecutions? Examples of how you are hated, maligned and spit upon?

How many times have you been beaten or flogged? Finally, what is your hang time on a cross?

All of us are born with natural tendacies and weaknesses towards certain sins because our flesh is born into a sinful world.

Animals do all kinds of immoral things like eat their young so the comparison doesn't work. Human beings are not animals.



We are called to love all people, but that love shouldn't have to require that we embrace their sinful lifestyle.



And I bet if you polled every fundamentalist pastor in America, you would find that a high majority would never agree with such positions. All you do is plunk out some extremes who probably only said it to get attention.




I'll take God's Word over man anytime. Funny, the Bible even predicts people like you in the end times.
Well, truth be told none of my last 6 "unions" resulted in the bringing forth a child. Does god consider that a sin?

then why do some people never marry? Are they sinning in the face of god?

The homosexuals seem to think they get picked on. Did we see murderers, adulterers, thieves, etc having parades shoving their lifestyle down our throats. No. Only the homosexuals. Not even the fornicators( sex out of marriage-man-woman) hold parades to get their way-- yet all are in opposition to God. Should we as well accept murder to be ok, or being lied to, or having our things stolen? No. One who stands for God--does not stand for the pleasure of the flesh--Yes an LBGTQ can be a Christian as long as the do not fornicate with one another. No man or woman having sex out of marriage is a Christian.

Might want to rethink that parade thing after November 12...
