“LGBTQIA+”
What do we do, whether we regard ourselves as Christians or not, with those "who cannot alter their biological state of being"?
(And here I am thinking of what has been imprinted on their psyche while in the womb rather than their physical structure.)
Are we dishonest enough to call them "freaks"?
How many of us have seen toddlers with opposite sex characteristics that later proved our suspicions correct?
Does the statement, "The removal of the LGBTQIA+ person from the sin category is akin to this century’s abolition of racial discrimination and the passing of women’s suffrage." have any credibility?
Plus the entire tradition of the Church over 2000 years has been unequivocal on this matter.
What do we expect of the so-called “Pride” movement?
“Well, you see...you Christian dummies got this wrong for 2000 years, but WE came along and translated it *correctly* don’tcha know!”
Titanic hubris.
Never mind that the Church Fathers who helped set the Church teaching on homosexuality *spoke NT Greek natively*. If what you say is at variance with what they say, you got yourself some ‘splainin to do.
Satan cannot create. Satan can only corrupt and defile. And these heretics follow their master quite slavishly.
They don't just want their little enclave, they have a pathological need for ALL of Christianity to be brought down with them.
The Psychology of Hell, 101.
Article would benefit from a bit of journalistic fundamentalism:
1.who
2.what
3.where
4.why
If a journalist writes an article describing what the heck is going on here, I hope someone posts it.
"Does the statement, "The removal of the LGBTQIA+ person from the sin category is akin to this century’s abolition of racial discrimination and the passing of women’s suffrage." have any credibility?"
Respectfully no for this reason. Skin pigmentation is what you're born with. As noted above you're not born homo/lesbian.
Women's suffrage is really not a biblical issue as it is more of a societal issue. There's no direct instruction for or against.
Couldn’t find a newspaper article on the subject. This was from the website releasing the movie. Link provided with a small excerpt of the theme of the movie.
Homosexuality is an abomination before God AND a sexual perversion.
Kind of hard to miss the point of the story of Sodom & Gomorrah. I believe that was decidedly pre-1946.
Yep....when the Bible is read in CONTEXT the injunction against homo/lesbians and trans and etc, is clear.
Keep your eyes out for a new propaganda movie based on some incredibly weak theological and linguistic arguments, called 1946.
And they were obliterated not because of not showing hospitality....but for wanting to commit sodomy....hence sodomites and later ensuing Western laws against sodomy.
How stupid do these people think we are? It was a _crime_ in most places well before (and after) 1946. Alan Turing went to jail for being a poofter. smh
That’s the point of this thread...it’s a head’s up on what’s coming down the track.
I appreciate your civil response. At the same time I am confident the issue is most certainly, "some people are indeed born "homo/lesbian" and how do we responsibly regard that segment of our society?
Yep...until SCOTUS struck down the anti-sodomy laws ~2003....a rather conservative court IIRC.
The word “homosexual” was invented in the 1800s, so this claim is just completely incorrect:
“In the summer of 2017, Kathy and Ed’s research* led them to Yale University, where they were the first two people to investigate what caused the 1946 R.S.V.** translation team - the first team in all of history - to use the word “homosexual” in any language. The translation team under the supervision of Dr. Luther Weigle combined two Greek words in the Biblical passage I Corinthians 6:9-10, “Malakoi” and “Arsenokoitai”, resulting in the modern term, “homosexual”.
It makes it sound like the RSV Bible translators came up with the word. This is from Wikipedia:
“The first known appearance of homosexual in print is found in an 1869 German pamphlet by the Austrian-born novelist Karl-Maria Kertbeny, published anonymously,[27] arguing against a Prussian anti-sodomy law.[27][28] In 1886, the psychiatrist Richard von Krafft-Ebing used the terms homosexual and heterosexual in his book Psychopathia Sexualis. Krafft-Ebing’s book was so popular among both laymen and doctors that the terms heterosexual and homosexual became the most widely accepted terms for sexual orientation.[29][30] As such, the current use of the term has its roots in the broader 19th-century tradition of personality taxonomy.”
