Hi LBR14,

I agree with you, but with a caveat...

You have valid concerns that shouldn't be dismissed, and the same concerns I've had for quite some time now. To be fair, John Y, and certain things he's said over time, is the reason that Dr Tim approached his comment the way he did, but at the same time, I wouldn't judge the church before knowing how accurate those past comments even are.

I think the issue here is that when a certain atmosphere has continued on for so long, a callousness develops over time, and what should be shocking, and is shocking to anyone stopping by, is no longer seen all that clearly, because it's become the norm, to a degree, anyway. Then, when someone does speak up about the atmosphere, it's not usually received all that well, because, again, it's no longer seen all that clearly, so there's a certain backlash.

Probably so, Mike, and I'd add, entitlement. They've talked of reparations for being "enslaved" for so long, and now that they're fully out, loud, proud, and angry, they want their vengeance against everyone who kept them down, and anyone who still wants to suppress their dirty deeds. They got the mainstream media in their corner, liberal Hollywood, the Democratic party, as well as probably the vast majority of Americans, so they have quite the support system to keep going full steam ahead, and that's exactly what they'll be doing.

Gross. How many of these kids, story time perverts have been outed as such; with s*x crimes on their records? Quite a few, and not unlike the shopping mall, jolly old Saint Nicks during the Christmas shopping season. Christmas for them, because of all of those young children are being handed right to them.

Beyond amazing that all of those kids are being brought to these story time hours, by none other than their own "protectors", the parents. How irresponsible to walk their own children right into that confusion where such perversion is not only being celebrated, but encouraged. "Now children, don't you dare allow those nasty adults to tell you that you have to be a boy or a girl. Honeys, you be whomever you feel you are, and that's that, because you're all beautiful, no matter what!" {wild clapping ensues}. -Madam Rose Boomshakalaka Sugarlicious, aka, Bob.

"Miranda Yardley, who underwent ‘gender reassignment’ surgery ten years ago, was accused of harassing a transgender rights activist on Twitter.

Helen Islan, who works for notorious trans-activist group Mermaids, accused Yardley of committing a hate crime by publicly voicing that people cannot change sex.

Despite changing his name to Miranda and under-going surgery himself, Yardley still recognises that he is a man.

Their argument began in an online conversation about whether individuals can choose if they want to be male or female.

When Yardley disagreed – and also revealed Islan’s identity – the trans-activist went to the police claiming the post made her feel “stressed and sick”."

So, in summary, the trans-activist went to the police, blubbering that Yardley commited a hate crime by saying that people cannot change their s*x;gender, that it made him feel stressed out, and sick, and so the police arrest Yardly for a hate crime, the case makes its way to court, and gets tossed out as frivolous by a rational, sane, judge.

I researched all of the verses that have to do with homosexuality in the Bible, old to new, and was surprised how many there were, so there won't be any excuses, that's for sure.

Crazy how times have changed so quickly, and the filthy, unnatural things once done in secret; the taboo, are now out in the open, celebrated, glamorized, and even, encouraged. The sodomites went from being in hiding, as the majority of society shunned them, and their deeds, illegal, to out, loud, proud, having new laws enacted on their behalf, and infecting an entire nation, because the very same society now supports, protects, and fights on their behalf, not to mention the sheer power they now have with mainstream media, and Democrats in their corner.

Disagree with anything that was taboo, just a few short years ago, and you are attacked, singled out as a hate-filled, intolerant bigot, lose your career, and under threats of death. Sodom and Gomorrah is swiftly being resurrected, and actually, in a much more sinister way, I'd guess.

Yet, irresponsible parents are allowing, and mindless progressives are encouraging, children as young as 3yrs to decide, and live as the opposite gender, 9yr olds to begin receiving hormone blockers for their future transition, and young teens to completely transition.

These same kids can't see an R-rated movie without an adult, they can't drive, smoke, vote, or live on their own, because they're too young, irresponsible, and immature, but they're old enough, at any age, to know they were born in the wrong body, live as such, and even seek out transitioning?

Anyway Chris, you're right in saying that the crimes against children have no boundrys, and while Rome may be guilty on a massive scale, the problem was, and still is, everywhere. Pedophiles are a sneaky, and "crafty" bunch, and when they're actively grooming, for example, there's often no way to even tell what they're up to.

I'd have to research it again, but I recall surveys that showed most homosexuals were abused as children or minors, or it was at least a high percentage. I'm not clear on how that would cause anyone to gravitate to the same gender later in life, but that's where the facts seemed to point to.

Real men don't use the word, "giggles".

I wasn't aware that hillbillys did either. Although, you're about four social classes below the hillbilly, so I'm not sure what they call you, exactly...Sillybilly? Cuckoobilly?

I was thinking, after reading your comment, that it seems to me, since the Christian owned bakers, and other service based businesses have been gaining some traction in the courts, the LGBTQ's have taken to a different angle/scheme. Their new angles may not be earning them the same quick cash, but it seems to be suiting their agenda, in their continued fight against God. The new angles being the war against basic religious views that now qualify as hate speech, bigotry, and intolerance, and also, this new pronoun nonsense, both of which are being used to take down anyone who doesnt comply, and it's working out well for them.

The Apostles exercised all of the gifts, on-demand, it seems, as they announced the good news, as signs that Jesus was the prophesied One; The Savior, but it seems the gifts continued on within the church, considering Paul's instructions on decency, order, and false prophets, etc. The completion of the canon of scripture? The resurrection, and Jesus appearing to the Apostles? Seems subjective in relating those to "when that which is perfect is come". Could be, but like I said, it seems to me that the gifts were to continue on.

“Many of my fellow Christians tell me that homosexuality is a sin. Maybe so, but it’s not my sin. Me, I feel that heterosexuality is the human norm, but there are harmless variants outside the norm and, you know, who cares?”

Andrew Klavan Oct 15, 2010:

"I don’t agree that homosexuality offends God (if it did, he wouldn’t let them write all the good show tunes) but I love the rabbi’s classically Jewish sweetness and compassion, his willingness to negotiate with God to try to get the Big Guy to see things from our perspective a little. I was also taken aback by the idea – which he ascribes to Pat Robertson and other evangelicals – that homosexuality is “the greatest threat to marriage and the family.” Comes as a surprise to me. Frankly, the greatest threat to my shockingly blissful marriage has always been heterosexuality – namely mine and its indiscriminate attractions. Am I missing something here?"

Good morning Jim, I don't think there was any mention of Melchizedek setting up a pillar, unless I missed it. I watched the video, and was surprised to see what Mr Shukron was considering a pillar, but then read that the pillar was merely the stone that Jacob had used as his pillow that night, which explained the size.

Interesting take, but taking into consideration that Satan isn't omnipresent, I'm not sure how it can be interpreted as Satan himself; the being. I find it doubtful that Satan would waste the time he has left on anyone other than those who have the means to bring his master plan to fruition.

I take it to mean all that Satan represents; resist evil; resist the evil ones; resist their fiery darts...resist, keep ourselves in full armor, always, and they'll flee once they realize there's just no way in.
