@ChrisBarnhart @exjon I've got 10 bucks that says A&E is now a GLAAD "Premier Corporate Donor."

Exit question:
Who shall we crucify next?

Sigh.
I’m going to keep,reminding A&E about this ... :-) ...
What we need more of is the spread of Gods word on the matter!
Although other parts of Scripture have been quoted on this Duck Dynasty issue with A&E, the following in Romans, chapter 1, is a key part and understanding ... as to how Gods wrath plays into this ... and why this is unique and that it is actually a judgement.
In Romans 1 ... it says
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.
17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.
20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,
21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
22 Professing to be wise, they became fools,
23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible manand birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves,
25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.
27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;
29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers,
30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful;
32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.
THAT would certainly be dynamite to LGBT-types ... :-) ...
Im sure they are foaming at the mouth at this part ...

Also, in reference to what someone else said about homosexuality being another sin - just like all the sins listed in the Bible ... Ill have to point out that its QUITE UNIQUE in comparison to other sins. I said the following in another posting elsewhere ... AND ... this shows how Gods wrath plays into it.
The unique thing about what God said in Romans 1 is that this particular sin is actually a judgement from God in that He has them debasing themselves in such a way. THIS (what the LGBTs promote) is actually Gods judgement upon them in that they are to do these things to themselves. They, therefore, receive gods judgement in the here and now for clearly rejecting what god has made clear to the,.
SO ... while these are all sins - fornication, adultery, thieving, drunkenness, slandering, swindling - and will not be allowed into Heaven ... none of these are, in and of themselves - a condition which God imposes upon people for their rejection of what God has made clear to them,
On the other hand the LGBT lifestyle is a specific condition and judgement of God Himself - upon these people,
AND THEREFORE, God has put upon them the absolute worst of the worst sin possible in a human being - in order to thoroughly DEBASE them to the ultimate extent in THIS LIFE, in the HERE AND NOW and not upon Judgement Day.
LGBT-people are a walking advertisement of God thoroughly debasing someone to the maximum extent possible, in a human being. They are walking around with a neon flashing sign saying Look at me! God has not even waited until Judgement Day to judge me!
I assume GLAAD will be paid to produce the PSAs, or to have them produced by their ‘friends’.
So, Duck Dynasty viewers- more accurately their advertisers- will now be contributing probably $10 million to GLAAD.
Well, TV and Satan go together like a horse and carriage...
It’s too late, the die is cast. I am cutting my cable provider loose by the end of the year, letting them know that the A&E debacle was the straw that broke this camels back. Seems a lot more are doing the same. Just rolling over now and playing nice isn’t going to change things. It’s time to double-down, not got back to BAU and pretend that nothing happened.
Does anyone else hear the faint sound of kids playing with bubblewrap?
that’s all of those little, empty pinheads popping right about now,
Happy, happy, happy. Because GLAAD isn’t.
LOL, now it will be attacked by the Gay Nazis
a&e is so foreign...alien to PRINCIPLES it doesn't know how to spell the word! ...see end of first graph in a&e statement
If it hadn’t been for all this hullabaloo I would never have heard of Duck Dynasty, as I’m not one who watches much tv—LOL!
It’s funny. I don’t watch a lot of TV shows though I have heard of these guys because I see their faces plastered in all kinds of stores. Now that this controversy has erupted, I watched a few episodes and found it very good TV for once. So thanks GLADD, you’ve made a new fan of Duck Dynasty and I’ll be watching them from now on.
It’s good to see A&E stand up for the principle of caving to the more powerful group.
I wish Phil Robertson and his family would LEAVE A&E for another outlet.
Give A&E what they deserve and asked for, and keep viewers from watching (supporting) A&E.
Say “thanks, but no thanks”, Phil. It will resonate.
Maybe someday these “employers” will learn that people do have a right to say things that they may not agree with.
We will also use this moment to launch a national public service campaign (PSA) promoting unity, tolerance and acceptance among all people, a message that supports our core values as a company, and the values found in Duck Dynasty. These PSAs will air across our entire portfolio.
DUCK A&E. I hope Duck Dynasty finds a more worthy sponsor than a channel affiliated with Marxist Mouse and their Gay Week at Children’s Theme Parks.
