I agree, but it’s amazing what they are trying to do with peer pressure and the idea that those who won’t do what they want are some sort of evil person.

Kids are under a full fledged assault these days.

Why is it “hypocrisy” for Christians to uphold their moral values concerning homosexuality?

What he is saying is he’s mad, mad, mad that Christians have a choice on whether they want to pay to watch a gay featured character kiss another gay character and start the homo conversion at a young age. He wants to turn this into a “bake my cake beotch” moment again. They’re never satisfied.

Parents might want to remember this face so in case you find a lewd conversation between him and your son you'll know who it is. Also notice the budding devil horns.

A family has an unalienable right to prevent their children from viewing content in a performance that contains a message that is adversarial to their core beliefs.

Homosexuals themselves should be very wary of Disney’s efforts to blame this stinker movie on them.

Personal notes: the first time I checked out the Mar 17 movie on Rotten Tomatoes, critics had it at 75%, which is just barely their “certified fresh” level. Within a few days it had dropped to 73%, which is still “fresh”. I just checked again, and it has dropped to just 68%.

If it goes below 60%, it will be rated as “rotten”.

“has admitted to grabbing women’s genitals without permission”

That lie is old and stale.

At risk of rehashing old news, Trump described doing this as “they let you do it”.

That is not “without permission.

Do these liberals enter into a formal contract with every person they have sex with?

The accusations that Trump has ever sexually assaulted or admitted to doing so are FALSE.

And the Goebbels-like lies of the media continue to destroy the little that remains of their credibility.

Further, what people say off-record when they joke around does not always reflect their true values and beliefs. Lots of people use morbid humor in which they pretend to strategize about where they will bury the bodes. That is, they play at being a serial killer. It’s just humor. I’ve heard many people do this — guys and girls. No one takes it seriously.


Author claims: Christians are bigots and hypocritical.

Don’t lecture us about following your morality. We aren’t interested. Don’t tell us how to raise our children. You don’t have a clue.

Christians are forgiving to a fault. We don’t hold Trump’s indiscretions against him. It is in the past. If he carried on affairs right now in the White House, like Bill Clinton was caught doing, it would definitely hurt Trump’s relationship with evangelical voters. But we also did not vote for him as a Christian role model. We voted for him based on what he said he would do. And we are VERY happy with what he has been doing so far.

Disney won’t get a dime of my money for Beauty and the Beast. I don’t pay for movies that are liberal morality plays and propaganda pieces.

I don’t know if the film will make money. I just know it won’t get mine. If Hollywood wants mine, they need to make more films like Hacksaw Ridge (video version). They don’t have to make “Christian” films. Just don’t make a mockery of my faith, use the name of my Savior as a curse word, and turn the movie-going experience into voyeurism of what liberals screamed for years was a matter of privacy.

“[t]here are no explicit discussions in the film about gay rights, gay marriage or the morality of gay relationships.”
.................

LeFou sings that a “bottom” would love to have Gaston on top. Just a pesky detail.

The RNS columnist turned his attention to questioning whether a decision by Christian families to not see Beauty and the Beast could hinder children from being exposed to gay people and thus “not prepare kids for a world where it is almost totally accepted.”

Romans 12:2 (AMP) 2 And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be [a]transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you].

Watching Fuller House. So far two guys and two gals have kissed. Oh, they made it ‘accidental’. But, the guys have also called each other cute, and the gals had a love song moment. So damned sick of the queerness pushed everywhere I turn. Enough!

I know. It’s in movies too.

I’ve also seen them present a figure where you’re thinking it’s a woman, so there’s immediate interest. And then you find out it’s a man.

They work it ever angle they can.

Are Muslims hypocrites, too?

Since 80% of American Muslims vote for the Democrat Party, I think the answer is “yes.”

There is an all homosexual channel or two on cable.
Put all your garbage on there and leave everyone else alone. You don’t have to be the main characters in every tv show or movie out there. People are sick and tired of having this stuff forced onto them.

Amen.

5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 6 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. 7 The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8 Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.

Romans 8: 5-8

To put this in perspective, even if in their fantasy world everyone accepted that they had to at least participate once in a homosexual act, they would still claim bigotry if it was not with a young child.

Such is the insanity of the left. Best to contain it and remove the conversation from public discourse now and forever.

...they’re coming across as “antiquated bigots” keeping people from “coexist[ing].”

I wonder why??


A BIBLICAL Message to LGBT folks EVERYWHERE!



 
Genesis 13:13
Now the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.

Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and
their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."

Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men
from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them
."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.


Leviticus niv

18:22 Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.

20:13 If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

 
 


Psalms 12:8 The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.

Doonesbury Cartoon for Feb/08/2013

Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.

2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.


Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.


Romans 1     New American Bible (Revised Edition) (NABRE)
 
 18 The wrath of God is indeed being revealed from heaven against every impiety and wickedness of those who suppress the truth by their wickedness. 19 For what can be known about God is evident to them, because God made it evident to them. 20 Ever since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes of eternal power and divinity have been able to be understood and perceived in what he has made. As a result, they have no excuse; 21 for although they knew God they did not accord him glory as God or give him thanks. Instead, they became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless minds were darkened. 22 While claiming to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for the likeness of an image of mortal man or of birds or of four-legged animals or of snakes.
 

24 Therefore, God handed them over to impurity through the lusts of their hearts for the mutual degradation of their bodies. 25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and revered and worshiped the creature rather than the creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 Therefore, God handed them over to degrading passions. Their females exchanged natural relations for unnatural, 27 and the males likewise gave up natural relations with females and burned with lust for one another. Males did shameful things with males and thus received in their own persons the due penalty for their perversity. 28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God handed them over to their undiscerning mind to do what is improper. 29 They are filled with every form of wickedness, evil, greed, and malice; full of envy, murder, rivalry, treachery, and spite. 


2 Peter 2

1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done.
Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.



But there IS hope!!!

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.


If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...

Damned Old Testament!
