Most homosexuals were sexually molested as children.

They seek to normalize their behavior to achieve easier access to MOLEST YOUR CHILDREN!

>http://www.patheos.com/blogs/warrenthrockmorton/2009/06/05/a-major-study-of-child-abuse-and-homosexuality-revisited/<

On page 37, the other relevant result relates to men.

The 13th research question addressed, of homosexual men who have been molested, what percentage were molested before self-identification as homosexual men, and what percentage were molested after self-identification as homosexual? Of homosexual men who were molested, 68% were molested before self-identification as homosexual, and 32% were molested after self-identification as homosexual.

That question is only asked of Christians so that they can immediately be called bigots and haters. There’s no other reason to ask it. My response is:

It makes no difference what either of us thinks. God made the call years ago - your argument is with Him. Good luck with that.

What a waste of time. Unless a so-called “Christian” is willing to tell Ellen Degenerate to her face that she’s a depraved mutant freak, there’s absolutely no reason to be on her show at all.

"No unrighteous person will enter the Kingdom of God" is what we need to say. No sin is allowed by God to enter into heaven. Unless we forsake our sin and put our faith alone upon Jesus Christ's work on the cross, paying for all our sins, there is no hope.

Anyone practicing their sins are on the wrong path.

I don’t disagree with the author generally.

however, I think her answer (read the Bible and find out) is a good one, given the context. She doesn’t owe Ellen any more than that. She was doing the best she can as a person in show business surrounded by gays. I think it’s a mistake for us to demand that she answer ANY of these questions, she’s there (on Ellen) to sing, not to be a Celebrity Authority on Multiple Matters.

Would that other celebrities had the restraint that she had.

All things considered, I think we should applaud her courage for pointing the audience to the Bible. Let God do the heavy lifting through His Word. That’s good advice.

Lauren Daigle’s difficult journey through the world of show business as a Christian is going to be difficult enough without us demanding that she give answers to inappropriate questions to people who are not asking the question in good faith with a view to discussion. They are just trying to trap her, and she has no moral obligation to answer these people like Ellen.

Not to push the comparison too far, but Jesus Himself did not ever (that I can recall) answer pointed questions to Him directly. He always spoke to a greater and deeper truth. Really for OUR benefit. Why did he do that? Lots of reasons, but among them, has to be included the truth that the bad faith questioners had no authority to even ask Him these questions. They were lucky to be in His presence. If they asked Him questions in good faith, He would have given them straight answers. But they didn’t, so He didn’t.

And at the end of the day....”Read the Bible” is a darn good answer.

All things considered, she did the right thing. (In my opinion :)).

The answer is, homosexuality is not a sin. Homosexual ACTS are.

The Christian can simply go to the authority of God to make the call. God designed all of this, and we don’t have the right to question Him.

That may make the Christian the target, but really the target is God, whom we won’t ever get to apologize to the offended.

It’s really simple. Scripture shows that any sexual activity outside of marriage is sinful. Whether that’s between people of different sexes or the same sex.

She appeared in town a couple of weeks ago. I worked the event. She had some local “volunteers” show up. Not sure who did the recruiting of the volunteers, except that one fellow in particular was dressed like a homeless bum and his grooming standards were, well, questionable. The venue is close to the local bum haven, the local Greyhound station. Bums will try to get inside any venue within walking distance, (there are several within walking distance of the bus station ). He cited he was a volunteer. Our staff asked for verification from her staff.

Pro tip: Providing a list of volunteers to security staff ahead of time works wonders. Any ways, her tour complained to the promoter that our staff was “rude” to her volunteers.

Hopefully she learned 2 lesson from all of this. 1. The world is not your friend. Don’t go on these shows unless you are prepared to play their games. 2. Go to a good Bible believing/teaching church and learn about your faith. If she does this she will discover how true #1 is.

It’s all about the $$$$$. She knows God’s directives written clearly in the Bible. She doesn’t want to hurt her earning potential. We all have choices and she just made hers. Too bad.
