A pattern of advancing Leftism is called incrementalism.
1st, vehemently deny a thing is happening.2nd, vehemently, deny what is happening is widespread.3rd, vehemently deny what is happening in a widespread manner is bad.4th, vehemently attack those as bad who point out the bad of what is happening in a widespread manner.We all know you are in the 4th stage.
Oppose the LBGTQ agenda in every way until our last breath. You?
What if one person wants to be murdered and the other agrees to do it willingly?No one said you have to agree with LBGTQ political stances.
Im not political so i dont vote or go to my loval congress to change laws or things around.
However if you hear of abuse… coming from someone that is harming children its a different story.
Its not my business though what two grow people do behind close doors. Unless its harming children. Or if you catch wind if suspicious activity that might be of someone murdering and taking life.
Other than that: May God judge.
Dont you understand that @Wrangler?
What if a person decides to hate a fellow human being, isn't that considered murder?What if one person wants to be murdered and the other agrees to do it willingly?
Mutual consent is the Great Mitigator of God's commandments, right?
All behind closed doors, of course. :)
Jesus Teaches about Inner Purity
7 One day some Pharisees and teachers of religious law arrived from Jerusalem to see Jesus. 2 They noticed that some of his disciples failed to follow the Jewish ritual of hand washing before eating. 3 (The Jews, especially the Pharisees, do not eat until they have poured water over their cupped hands,[a] as required by their ancient traditions. 4 Similarly, they don’t eat anything from the market until they immerse their hands[b] in water. This is but one of many traditions they have clung to—such as their ceremonial washing of cups, pitchers, and kettles.[c])
5 So the Pharisees and teachers of religious law asked him, “Why don’t your disciples follow our age-old tradition? They eat without first performing the hand-washing ceremony.”
6 Jesus replied, “You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you, for he wrote,
‘These people honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me.
7 Their worship is a farce,
for they teach man-made ideas as commands from God.’[d]
8 For you ignore God’s law and substitute your own tradition.”
9 Then he said, “You skillfully sidestep God’s law in order to hold on to your own tradition. 10 For instance, Moses gave you this law from God: ‘Honor your father and mother,’[e] and ‘Anyone who speaks disrespectfully of father or mother must be put to death.’[f] 11 But you say it is all right for people to say to their parents, ‘Sorry, I can’t help you. For I have vowed to give to God what I would have given to you.’[g] 12 In this way, you let them disregard their needy parents. 13 And so you cancel the word of God in order to hand down your own tradition. And this is only one example among many others.”
14 Then Jesus called to the crowd to come and hear. “All of you listen,” he said, “and try to understand. 15 It’s not what goes into your body that defiles you; you are defiled by what comes from your heart.[h]”
17 Then Jesus went into a house to get away from the crowd, and his disciples asked him what he meant by the parable he had just used. 18 “Don’t you understand either?” he asked. “Can’t you see that the food you put into your body cannot defile you? 19 Food doesn’t go into your heart, but only passes through the stomach and then goes into the sewer.” (By saying this, he declared that every kind of food is acceptable in God’s eyes.)
20 And then he added, “It is what comes from inside that defiles you. 21 For from within, out of a person’s heart, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, 22 adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness. 23 All these vile things come from within; they are what defile you.”
Inclusive books. next thing you know they will be wanting to have books with people of different races. Obviously that will push the kids to choose to be some other sin color.Again, this has already been proved numerous times.
...and?

It's actually the other way around. Texas just tried to make any affirming a parent does in regards to their a trans child as child abusethe left want to take that right away. they are trying to make a law that makes it child abuse if a parent does not affirm a childs gender choice..
Genital reassignment surgery is reserved for those 18 and older, according to guidelines for the medical care of transgender patients developed by the Endocrine Society and the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, or WPATH.and they want to make it a law they do not need to get parent permission to castrate young boys or give a young girl a massectomy..
and no evidence for thisnot to mention give them hormones that can have long term effects and shorten a persons life
so because a thrid world country treats peopel worse that makes hate and discrimination here OK?thats interesting.
Half of these people would be stoned or beheaded because they think they are the opposite sex or because they are gay or lesbian.
yet the scream at how hateful their country is.
its an attitude.. that is where it all boils down too. its pride
What if a person decides to hate a fellow human being, isn't that considered murder?
Remember what Jesus said?
Some crimes are committed right behind the eyes in the mind of individuals, without ever acting the act outwardly, it all starts in the heart.
It's interesting how far you can take the bible @BarneyFife, and a viewpoint.
It's all up to the individual to choose of course, you know that very well my friend.
When Jesus was being murdered on the cross, and even after being thrown under by his fellow brothers he said "Father forgive them, they know not what they do"
Either you look at the world, or you look towards the heavenly. The world aint gonna change, while people can make changes - humans will be human and make their own choices, and also force their ideas on other people, be it with abuse or agape love.
Gotta love Mr Anderson, even for his biblically stated viewpoints, ya know?
@BarneyFifeI hear you but you're basically just being evasive here, Matthew.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
9 have ye not known that the unrighteous the reign of God shall not inherit? be not led astray; neither whoremongers, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites,
10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, the reign of God shall inherit.
11 And certain of you were these! but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were declared righteous, in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.
Odd. I understand you are addressing your wonderfully neutral comments to me - who is extremely politically active - and not the resident LGBTQ anti-Christian activist to this Christian forum.No one said you have to agree with LBGTQ political stances.
Im not political so i dont vote or go to my loval congress to change laws or things around.
However if you hear of abuse… coming from someone that is harming children its a different story.

Dont you understand that @Wrangler?
Agh, is that what it is called? Let me guess. You think "inclusion" is good huh?Inclusive books.
You say it is not required reading. The article says it is. Do you have a link, something other than your own opinion? Or do you deem your opinion to supersede all other evidence? Wait! That's it."Maryland school district rescinds opt-out policy for parents, pushes LGBTQ books as required reading"
Except it's not required reading.
Willfully ignorant. It is impossible to talk about LGBTQ without talking about sex."Such concerns often arise because people assume talking about people who identify as LGBTQ means talking about sex. "
What sort of pervert would assume that
Another desperate attempt to equate moral condemnation against behavior with racism.From your link: "Schools and libraries received at least 730 reported challenges to about 1,600 books last year, most of them books about LGBTQ or Black people, according to the American Library Association.
That kind of sums it all up
