So by that logic, God keeps creating pedophiles, as well.
God WILL prevail, and His Church will go on, despite the persecution by the Left.
Dream on, faggies.
There are people changing and capitulating. There are also many uncompromising people who have just gotten quiet because the gay activists are raised the price of speaking out.
Amos 5:13 Therefore at such a time the prudent person keeps silent, for it is an evil time.
No matter what the elitists tell us; or how many people pretend otherwise.
Never.
It will be as in Noah's day...
I wonder what a poll of residents of Sodom would have said?
“religious resistance is crumbling”
while SPIRITUAL Resistance is becoming more vocal and visible!!..
in the end...GOD WINS....
I think this is actually a reprint of the original article that ran in the Sodom-Gomorrah Times Sentinel ;-)
A bit of help to turn this mess of lies into something resembling truth.
The conference’s second session dwelled on sin. The speakers, Cornelius Plantinga of Calvin College and Ross Douthat of the New York Times, discussed what we should feel bad about. Homosexuality wasn’t on the list.... “It used to be that people thought of homosexual acts as sinful,” he said. “Now they think of criticism of homosexual acts as sinful.”...
The next morning, we had our final session, on the culture wars. Molly Ball, the Atlantic’s terrific political writer, summarized the trend toward acceptance of same-sex marriage. Forty percent of Republicans and 61 percent of Republicans under 30 now favor it, she reported. So do 57 percent of Catholics and 55 percent of mainline Protestants....
PFL
Must be why the Episcopal Church is cratering, because you know, liberal Christianity is so awesome and stuff!
It used to be that the Church influenced culture. Now culture rules the Church.
William Saletan
"I don’t say this lightly, but Saletan is one of the more dishonest pundits out there — I’ve read multiple columns by this guy where he lies with numbers and fudges the evidence to fit his preconceptions, and this is no exception. He’s once again arguing that creationism is compatible with science, and he has to make some dodgy claims to do so. Look here:"
"Religion"?
No. The homosexual's argument is with God, and His Creation. And He has clearly stated in the Bible His verdict on homosexual behavior, as with all sexual immorality, is that it is sinful.
"sanctioned and fueled the persecution ..."?
lol. Hardly. God loves the sinner but hates the sin. Slate and RonPaulJr are opposing God by trying to justify the sinfulness of homosexuality.
Author William Saletan, per Wiki:
a Jewish “liberal Republican” (so they can say he’s a `conservative’?) Swarthmore grad who supports homosexual marriage/Slate writer (but I repeat myself), trying to tell us the world—in particular, religion—is ready to abandon the very definition of homosexuality as an aberration/perversity.
Abraham Lincoln said, “You can call a dog’s tail a leg, and say it has five legs, but calling a tail a leg don’t make it a leg.”
Heh, silly homos. Go peddle your papers.
Only fools applaud the judgment of God on our nation and call it love.
God does NOT make people homosexual!!!! What blasphemy to think that our Loving God would pull such a dirty trick on people and on society!
Satan and the other demons put all sorts of sinful thoughts in our heads, including in some people thoughts of same-sex attraction. If people entertain such thoughts, they may harden into the delusion of “being gay” and even “being born gay”.
There are many. many other types of sinful thoughts and delusions, but the “gay” delusion seems to be the most “popular” one right now.
Spiritual warfare, such as is taught by the Orthodox Church, is central to the Christian life, especially during Great Lent and other fasting seasons, when the demons come out in force. And by that means, and by the true teaching of the Church, God protects us from the “gay” delusion, and many other evils as well.
Liberal William Saletan Announces Plan to ‘Purge’ Christians
April 21, 2014
They were always deadly serious about criminalizing Christianity and killing free speech, but now the American left has stopped pretending otherwise. In a recent column titled “Why Are They Called ‘Homofascists’? Here’s Why,” I wrote that “progressive,” “Christian-hating fascists” – but I repeat myself – are “hell-bent on criminalizing Christianity and pushing to the fringes anyone who publicly acknowledges natural human sexuality and the age-old, immutable institution of legitimate marriage as created by God.”
In an article titled, “Purge the Bigots,” Slate writer William Saletan penned these chilling words: “Some of my colleagues are celebrating. They call Eich a bigot who got what he deserved. I agree. But let’s not stop here. If we’re serious about enforcing the new standard, thousands of other employees who donated to the same anti-gay ballot measure must be punished.
“More than 35,000 people gave money to the campaign for Proposition 8, the 2008 ballot measure that declared, ‘Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California,’” he continued. “Why do these bigots still have jobs? Let’s go get them.”
Continued Saletan: “To organize the next stage of the purge, I’ve compiled the financial data into three tables” (he actually did this). He then listed details from, and linked to, the Proposition 8 hit list reportedly leaked by the Obama IRS and meticulously assembled and published by the Los Angeles Times.
This was all by design. It’s what led to Brendan Eich’s career beheading. But Eich was just the opening act. The list provides the exact names, employers, places of residence and dollar amounts of every single person in America who donated even a dime to the Golden State’s campaign to protect natural marriage (I realize it’s hopelessly symbolic, but as matter of principle I will not link to the list).
This is a level of voter intimidation and journalistic terrorism on the part of the Obama administration and the L.A. Times that is unprecedented in American history.
Blasphemy.
However, there are some who will not back down. Sooner or later, these faithful will be arrest for "hate speech" or sued into insolvency by queer groups. Eventually, they will be hunted as believing Christians in China are hunted today.
Pastor and Bible teacher J. Vernon McGee predicted that someday the believing Church in America would have to go underground. He also predicted that the primary oppressors of the believing Church would be the mainline Protestant churches that are currently a hotbed of Leftism, homosexuality and baby murder. They are synagogues of Satan and attack real believers from the pulpit constantly, setting the stage for the eventual dehumanization of real believers.
