Conservative action?
Why does he feel the need to pander?
Does he think he’s going to suddenly be loved by gays?
How about making a concerted effort to pressure other nations to be tolerant to Christianity instead of sexual perversion?
Huge mistake.
Shame on Trump. Bad thing.
Reverse psychology. Liberals oppose everything Trump does, so now they will have to be against homo tolerence.
Maybe they can go after countries who criminalize being a non-Muslim next.
But the left promised that he hates gays! Did they lie?
well mr trump .....God and ur wife and almost all ur base just turned on you ...
NOT what I voted for.
I voted to save America, not invade Venezuela, not invade Iran, not change the laws of other nations which are based on thousands of years of civilization.
MAGA meant amnesty, increased migration, and this crap?
Why not. Adultery is not a crime.
But GOD still has something to say about it...
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.
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.
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...
Nuts
If Trump has caved to the queers that means hes thrown his Christian base right under the bus and theres no way in hell hell be re-elected. Until this story is verified by the White House Im not believing it. If it turns out to be true hes done. Ill damn sure never vote for him again. So Trump turns into Obama?
and prison for adulterers too.....
I am Catholic. I understand the Church considers homosexuality to be against God’s law but what is against God’s law is not in this case necessarily against criminal law.
Trump’s attempt to “decriminalize” homosexuality will not hurt him with his base since in my experience the Church has not taken a position favoring criminalization.
Hate the sin, love the sinner and all the president is doing here is trying to protect unjust prosecution.
This seems like a nifty way to point out that Islam kills homos. He is dividing and conquering the left platforms!
For those against it, think of it this way. While most of us would not engage in homosexuality and believe it to be wrong, should it be criminal? I’m a libertarian at heart and so if what you do does not infringe on myself and what I do should it be illegal? If two men or two women want to have a sexual relationship that hurts no one (except themselves I would argue) who am I to stop it? My only beef with this whole issue are those on the left that want to shove it down the rest of our throats and say you have to agree with us that this is normal. I don’t want to see cheating on your spouse as illegal either but I don’t believe it is right or normal.
Personally, I don’t even know why the government is involved in marriage, hence why the ‘Gay Marriage’ issue? Marriage is a religious institution and the government should have no involvement whatsoever. If one Church wants to marry a gay couple, have at it. If another one does not to do it, they should be allowed to refuse it. The only thing the government should be involved in are legal arrangements. In other words, for purposes of wills, death benefits, etc... the government has to be involved in a legal contract, nothing more. We as a society have to decide what we want to allow to be considered a legal partnership for those type of legal documents.
In any case, it just puts the lie to the fact that Donald Trump hates homosexuals. Like the Jesse Smollets of the world would like you to believe.
Tent meeting. Preacher gets up and proclaims: “I want all of you fellow sinners, what’s been a he-in’ and a she-in’ to step forward and confess before the Lord!” A few hundred step forward and kneel and pray, talk in tongues, testify, etc.
Preacher continues: “Now I want all of you fellow sinners what’s been a he-in’ and a he-in’ to make that step!” All the homosexuals come forward.
Preacher: “Now I want all of you lady fellow sinners, what’s been a she-in’ and a she-in’ to step forward.” All the lesbians come forward.
Only one fat guy in overalls remains in the audience. Preacher: “Brother, I know you been a-sinnin’. Why haven’t you come forward to confess?”
Fat guy: That be true, brotha. But you didn’t say nothin’ ‘bout a-me-in’ and a-me-in’.”
Stand by for gay activists and leftards to profusely thank Trump, and stop hating on him....ten years later....
I am very cautiously supportive of this.While I think pretty much everyone on this forum is likely to agree that this sort of thing is both immoral and repulsive, my feeling is that private behavior between consenting adults is not the state’s business. Not all sins need to be covered in the criminal code.
