Some on OPP question why we conservatives care about the transgender movement (Page 16): You are attempting to be clever but instead are demonstrating how intolerant and dishonest...

You are attempting to be clever but instead are demonstrating how intolerant and dishonest so-called ‘progressivism’ really is

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.

Your all-loving God picks and chooses the sinners he is willing to forgive?

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

He forgives all who repent of course. But those who live in open rebellion are not repentant nor do they love God.

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".

Very true. Which is not at all the same as advocating for, and approving of, or celebrating or enabling your neighbors to continue acting in sinful ways. Or don't you know that???
Are you not able to love and care for someone without approving and enabling their choices? Have you never had a beloved relative or friend who became a drug addict, for example?

Only yours, DASHY. Only the one you have created and cherish using as a weapon. The other one you love and have named 'liberal' is far uglier, it is a liar, and it is there to hold and bind people inside it. Do you cradle it, fondle it, and call it 'my precious' when you think no one is looking?

My gay friends do not act in sinful way. Do yours?

General Miley might be a good military strategist, but a real ass when it comes to people that make good military weapons to win wars with. Woke is a joke and a sick one at that.

So you think CJCS Milley is this century's "Little Mac". No Woke is Not a joke. Besides, Once one Senator Tuberville comes to realize that holding up Senior promotions are a hindrance to readiness, Gen Milley will step down and retire and the New CJCS can begin his tenure.

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?

Yes. I am sure that she has said she is a woman and a Christian here on OPP...and more than once. Whether anything this person says is true or not is another matter. I don't believe very much when someone tells me she is a Christian, yet believes in the things she does. And it's not just homosexuality. She is pro-abortion, too and a few other things that a Christian would never support.

Your idea of ‘fairness’ hurts women and children. Shame on you

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.

That is acceptable.
So quit supporting a party that is pushing laws that FORCE people to bake cakes or arrange flowers for events that they find offensive. Laws that allow teaching small children about sex, gay sex, transexualism, and other age inappropriate human behavior. Laws and regulations that allow "women with penises" to compete against biological women. And most of the rest of such laws and rules.
And pretty please, just as a favor, stop criticizing me and others for taking a stand against sin. It is not hatred to do so. It is love for our neighbor.

Everyone sins - no exceptions. If they are living a homosexual lifestyle then they are in open rebellion to God. That is truth you reject

No... He forgives you if you repent. Can't you read?
