Jesus tells everyone that, for we are all sinners. The cruel and hateful, the greedy and selfish are sinners who hurt others. Gay people do not try to hurt others. The overwhelming majority want to be accepted, raise families, be good neighbors, and be accepted.
They are harming themselves. BEHAVIOR is a choice.

So weird how LGBT et al are so offended by someone praying.

I just cannot wrap my head around it? How is that hurtful?

So, so odd.

Agreed, we’re not called to judge those outside the church but we are called to preach the gospel and all that Christ taught. So what they do in their own lives is not our concern but if they’re going to promote sinful behavior to the public whether people like it or not, it’s our responsibility to be the voice of opposition whether people like it or not. So they can exercise their right of freedom as speech and we’ll exercise our’s and people can decide for themselves which path they want to take.
Well said.

I'm all for minding your own business and treating others right. Point blank period.

That does NOT mean I have to approve of the actions of others.

It's my right to speak as I choose.

God bless.

I don't see how any Christian can't see that it's a contrivance of the enemy to warp God's children.
They’re being taught that disapproval of LGBT behavior is discrimination like racism. I actually had to educate my daughter on the difference because that’s what her school was teaching her and I explained to her that judging a person according to the behavior is not bigotry. It’s no different than judging a liar or a murderer or a rapist or a drunkard or a thief based on their behavior.

Unfortunately, those in the LGBT "community" see "bigotry" if someone doesn't fully approve of their lifestyle. It's sad, really.

And yes. Racism and so called homophobia are not the same. Period.

Are adulterers hurting others? Are idolaters hurting others? Are drunkards hurting others? And yet Jesus condemned these behaviors as well as sexual immorality and homosexuality.

We are all sinners, but we are called to repentance. That's the entire message of Jesus, indeed.

Amen and Christians don’t condone the sin of other Christians as well. We don’t just disapprove of the sins of unbelievers we also disapprove of the sins of Christians as well. It’s the sin that we disapprove of, not the person.

EXACTLY. Not agreeing with someone's CHOICE/BEHAVIOR doesn't mean you HATE or DISAPPROVE of the person themselves.

THAT'S the difference. Point blank period.

Love the sinner, not the sin. If anyone asks how the world has become so degenerate, I say it is because the men of the church allowed it by compromising with the world. Any church that condones and encourages homosexuality is, in my opinion, comparable to the temple before Jesus started flipping tables and whipping people.

I would also say that some who claim to be Christian are misrepresenting Christ with their extremist views on sin that they’re actually discrediting Him.

Go woke, go broke.
Dylan Mulvaney was a handsome, talented young man. Such a shame what he did to himself.

Oh well. It's his life.

Homosexuality is not a boldface double asterisk sin. People have different challenges and obstacles.
Yet people feel free to attack and humiliate LGBT while accepting other faults.
What theydo behind closed doors is between them and God.

No one should be humiliated or attacked. That's wrong.

Again, the behavior is the sin, not the person themselves.

Maybe the nation is really turning around.
The "good Christian" girl is depicted as praying for her own glory. Seem a shallow depiction at best, not something to celebrate. Is she particularly kind to strangers, sharing her lunch money with the poor kid or giving her jacket to the naked? What is "good" about her version of Christian behavior?

Hey, remember when "gay bashing" was meant literally - bashing in someone's head with a baseball bat or nightstick or flashlight for sport and male bonding? I, for one, do not want to see that brought back. And - a bit off-topic - transgendered people are people who should have their humanity respected.
