“That said, for LGBT people like John there is no hope. “

There is always hope. That anger is directly linked to the conviction in their heart that they are sinners. They know it. They just hate it.

When gays go off on how horrible Christians are to gays, I remind them there are gay Christians and even gay churches. The reaction is usually stunned silence. They can’t break out of the narrative.

You can ask for forgiveness and ask for healing you can ask for help...and i will give it.....

but i can not give you a lie...I can not give a blessing of gay as truth

Everyone who doesn’t parrot your narrative is the enemy in your eyes.

It’s the old “love the sinner, hate the sin” thing. It’s difficult to do when the sinner insists there is nothing wrong with his sin.

The heart of the issue is rebellion towards God and those whose hearts are so hardened that they can’t see that are going to require a long, patient conversation before they see any results, if at all.

I have a brother who has accepted Christ then became a homosexual, now experiences depression and feels clearly rejected by the religious side of our family even though we have done nothing to reject him - only his lifestyle and generally we don’t even discuss it around him because we want him to feel like family.

My sister had a friend by the name of Laura who took her little dog Henry with her everywhere she went, even when she’d come to our home. We pointed out to Laura that she was welcome but Henry was not (some family members have allergies to pet dander). Laura was offended and refused to accept that Henry was not welcome in our house.

That’s the way I believe some gays are. Their Henry is their gay identity and they refuse to accept that they can be welcomed in our homes if they’ll just leave Henry behind. They refuse to do it. They feel mortally offended that you would even ask them to do it.

But God does not change for man. He’ll love you and try to lead you but if you will not leave your Henry behind, you’ll ultimately end up despising God because He wants you to repent the sin in your life, not demand that God accept it.

I’ve told defenders of gays that their problem is not with me. Their problem is with the God that demands repentance. It’s that issue they have to deal with before progress is made.

Are you sure you’re not slap-happy Pappy? I have no idea why you’re insulting me unless your ox has been gored.

Somewhere in their minds homosexuals know what they're doing is wrong.

It is why they react so violently when challenged on the morality of their behavior.

They want so bad to be told their sin is ok so they can feel good about themselves.

When you are wrong and know you are wrong, it sometimes causes you to just crank up the volume. But mostly it is “PAY ATTENTION TO ME!!!”.

LGBT suicide rate is high, but it’s not high enough.

You may want to reconsider the author's point.

Only because of a very complicit media.

There is always hope. Jesus is willing to forgive all sins.

I’m sorry Red, I don’t quite follow you.
I’m lost on this: “Refusing to get involved is counterproductive to this.”

I hope that one day you realize the world is actually a good place with the LGBT community in it. We thrive as individuals, and we are successful as a community. We strive for equal rights just as women did during the suffrage movement. We fight for equal rights just like African Americans did during the Civil Rights Movement in the 60's.

You mean this pap?

The world needs perverts like it needs a cancer epidemic.

"Drug behind trucks. Tied to fences and left for dead...."

1. Drug behind trucks because blacks are gay, too
2. Tied to fences and left for dead because nobody cares what even the (gay) reporter who wrote a book on the subject - THE BOOK OF MATT - and innumerable reports have revealed about that case and the heavily indebted drug-using drug dealing "monster" and how he pushed his luck too far with his suppliers.

No.

I'm referring to the fact that the author apparently has taken on some sort of a ministry to this group and that he has found dealing compassionately with them while maintaining steadfast adherence to the truth is the most effective means of intervening in their destructive lifestyles.

He also points out that he receives a great deal of vindictiveness from them as a result. The article attempts to explain why he thinks they are so angry and he makes the point that confrontation about their anger (without keeping an ear open to the pain that has caused it) seems to be ineffective.

He's hoping to be able to get them to reconsider their abnormal lifestyle by addressing the abuse at least some of them have experienced when younger.

Your post about wishing more of them would die is diametrically opposed to the author's point which is why I pointed out the possibility of reconsidering it.

“The world needs perverts like it needs a cancer epidemic.”

I may have to change my tagline.

I don’t care what is behind their anger (or who is behind them in bed). I would like to ignore them and not even think about them. I am a conservative. I live my own life within making demands on others, and I expect others to live their lives without making demands of me.

If they insist upon harassing me, I will respond appropriately to their unwanted intrusion into my life. If my response adds to some snowflake’s pain, it’s called Karma.

I wish success to those who are attempting to pull those who have dropped into a vortex of self-hatred due to the disgusting methods used by LGBT for sexual gratification. I honestly believe it finally gets to them and cause great damage to their circuitry and self-hatred springs in when they begin to realize what lost souls they are.

The additional problem is that the Satan-inspired act of luring youngsters through complicit school systems to the ways of homosexual activity is mushrooming. There will be no end to this as long as the homosexual agenda is hell-bent on a conversion mission.

The visible sycophants here, like the louse who inhabits the White Hut, et al, place these perverts atop pedestals and congratulate them for owning up to their perversion.

I have no regard for the perversion represented by this asinine LGBT gaggle. Obama has hired scores of them to work within our government and the White Hut and its Annex is full of them.

This is the ‘New Normal’ according to Frankenstein monsters like the reconstructed Bruce Jenner.
