Sometimes we learn by experience. Other times we accept gossip as truth. When women dress like men, we are not a bit surprised. When men dress like women, we think they look like clowns at a circus. Why is that? How many men do you think try to gain entrance to women's locker rooms and bathrooms?

Obviously they have influenced you right out of being a Christian. There are many places in the Bible that say men who lust for each other and women who lust for each other - homosexuality and lesbianism- are abominations. Supporting and condoning this behavior is just as much an abomination.

That’s where you stand with these posts of yours. I will pray you see this before it is too late for you.

A Christian who says we should be tolerant and inclusive of groups like the sisters of perpetual indulgence who perform profane acts on a cross.

Loving them doesn’t mean we accept their sin.

Does our all-loving God forgive all sinners, or just some?

I agree with you that it is disrespecting women. But I know have two questions: Dashy is a WOMAN???? And supposedly a CHRISTIAN??? Huh. I really had no idea. Are you sure?

Loving the sinner but hating the sin is hard to do when the sinner keeps on sinning.

You have neither fear nor hatred of niggers. You simply do not want to associate with them. You are a typical racist conservative.

You are the one who used the word, DASH. I never have. Never. You are attempting to apply what I said about avoiding people who make choices I do not approve of with avoiding people of color, which is not true in the slightest. You know nothing about me except to try and put me in an ugly box that you have named 'conservative' and 'Christian'......a box that is far smaller than reality, much deformed from reality, and completely inaccurate. Yet it is your box, and you love to try and shove people into it. I don't fit in it, friend. YOUR words depict YOU as the racist. A typical liberal.

The Bible also commands: "You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not covet". Have any of us been guilty of disobeying these commands? Whatever other commands there may be, are summed up in this one: "Love your neighbor as yourself".

The "Conservative" box is pretty ugly. I agree with that observation.

You misread my comment. Of course they have 'already influenced the way we treat minority groups....', and for the worst. That is my point. The changes have had a very negative influence on life in the United States, and it has made things WORSE IMO, for the vast majority of L+ folks.
And all of MY gay friends are likewise people. Every single one of them. Go figure.
DASH, I do not want to forcefully, legally, or otherwise change one person from who he/she wants to be. I believe in freedom. But neither do I want to be forced to participate or celebrate or observe activity that I consider sinful or abnormal and obscene and should be reserved for privacy. And I don't want to see extreme examples of hetro PDA, either. I like clowns, but I find drag queens offensive. I like parades....unless they involve gay people 'celebrating' deviant behavior.
Yet I am told that to NOT celebrate such is hatred and immoral and it is neither. It is live and let live. But the neither you nor the left in general believe in "live and let live". You advocate and support laws that attempt to legally FORCE me to participate in choices against my beliefs. That is where I draw the line.

He forgives ALL sinners who sincerely declare in their heart Jesus as Lord, believe that God raised Him from the dead and who sincerely repent of their sins. And repent means to turn away. And it's not "one and done." Repentance is a daily activity. Sorry, there's no other way. And practicing homosexuality and transgenderism are among the many sins there are.

I do not want to suppress them. They simply have NO RIGHTS that give them access to children or to intrude into MY life if I do not want them there, and I will do everything I legally can to stop such.
And I do agree that you are a typical liberal. You want to legally FORCE anyone who disagrees with you to HAVE to abide by your own personal ideas of 'fairness'......even if those ideas include exaggerated rights for deviant minorities to influence, indoctrinate, and endanger children, teens, and women. Offend women and deprive them of THEIR rights in many cases. Choosing one 'preferred' minority or class above others. All that is fine with you. But not with me.

Who is forcing you to celebrate anything you hate and find immoral and against your beliefs? Can you just draw your own line and stay on your own side? Celebrate your own freedom and go to your own parades and hope you don't come across any deviant behavior among the marchers.
