“That’s what we are going to do about it? Vote? Doesn’t that sound pretty lame to you?”
Liberals took a pounding in the last election.
Today’s Christianity is gentle but that doesn’t mean there isn’t strength and conviction, and strength and conviction isn’t always measured by screaming.
We know how this turns out, and all those who war against Christ will pay for eternity with their very souls. You pat the porcupine, you get stuck. Let ‘em flap and flail; they only seal their own doom.
He's got no problem with making money off a country that murders gay people for being gay- But he wants Christians in this country to be forced to accept gay marriage?
Why do people want Christians, and everyone else, to accept something that doesn't exist, never existed? Gay marriage was made up out of thin air, by activist judges.
"Marriage" was started by God thousands of years ago to bond a man and a woman together, under God's law. That's what it is. That's what the word means, regardless of what activist judges rule about it- Even California voted to keep marriage one man, one woman, before one judge threw it out.
While gays should have every right that married couples have , they can't really be "married"-because the concept has never been about same sex couplings. This Doesn't mean they don't love each other. It doesn't mean they can't call it something else. (Or maybe it's best if government has nothing to do with "marriage" in the first place.)
What the gay community doesn't seem to understand , is that because God started marriage- between one man and one woman- This is the reason why Christians have an objection to participating in a gay "marriage" ceremony. What are the Christians, and other religions, supposed to do? The Bible says what it says about it. Is declaring the Bible a hate book next? How about forcing Christian doctors to perform abortions? What else do they want the government to make people do, against their will?
Gays can't force people to accept them, nor should they want government to have the power to force people to accept them.
Giving government ultimate power is ALWAYS a bad idea.
Best to let people be free to disagree with one another- anything other than this ends badly.
"What are the Christians, who are in the majority, going to do about it? Are they going to turn the other cheek??"
BiggRed:
" Exactly! That has been the goal from the beginning. Destroy Christianity and the family unit , and you are free to rule the people in a dictatorship."
What Christians need to do- is stand up for their rights under the Constitution. They need to explain to people what the Constitution means to them, and why it would be a total disaster to throw it out .
Everyone needs to understand why they must let people be free to disagree, and have differences with one another- And what happens when you give up your freedom and let government control your life.
No one should ever give the government ultimate control.
Everybody needs to be aware of what the left's ultimate goals are. Christians can get the word out-even by just reminding people that they have a Constitutional right to practice their religion.
Yes, the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the First Freedom for mankind.
Bump
What is it with the left? They are angry with traditionalists in this country for practicing religious freedom by not baking a cake, etc., but yet they look the other way when Islam imprisons, or kills, homosexuals.
