God loves us and He created us to have fellowship with Him and choose to follow His commands. There is no true love in a relationship unless WE ARE FREE TO REJECT THAT LOVE, and end up eternally destroying ourselves!
"If you're gay, you're gay. If you're straight, you're straight. AND YOU SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO BE HOW YOU ARE AND WHO YOU ARE." - Dolly Parton
(Note: When pasting this document into Free Republic, it seems that most of the special formatting is lost, such as bold, italics, underlined words and embedded links. To read the document with the formatting and embedded links go to the link of the document.)
THIS PHRASE IS VERY DECEPTIVE since it brings out the positive great gift of God - our free will. But there is no mention of the difference between good and evil, between what is good for us and what harms us. Underlying this phrase is the secular mindset of atheism and that sin and hell do not exist, and thus we have no responsibilities for our actions and there will be no eternal consequences!
WE AS TRUE CHRISTIANS LOVE THE SINNER BUT HATE THE SIN. But the diabolical GAY agenda accuses true Christians of hating homosexuals because we hate the sin of living out the GAY lifestyle. They conveniently and shrewdly do not make this fundamental distinction, since for them God and sin do not exist!!! True Christians love homosexuals and pray for them that they might trust God and obey his saving Commandments, which leads to true happiness and eternal life! After all we are all sinners! Regarding this shrewd deception we can truly apply this verse: “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil” (Is 5:20).
Dolly Parton has repeatedly spoken out in support of drag queens, particularly those who dress as her. Dolly Parton has said that she would've been a drag queen if she'd been born a boy.
The secular Godless world has made Dolly Parton a “SAINT”!
The real God, the Creator of the universe, totally respects our free will. And thus God allows us to be how and who we want to be!
That is why both heaven and hell exist! God will not force anyone to respect and obey his holy and saving laws! GOD WILL NOT FORCE ANYONE to spend eternity with God in heaven!!!
In heaven there is room for only ONE God, not two! Everyone in hell thinks he is the source of all truth, as if he were God! A great number of people today have chosen to believe the fundamental of lie of Satan, as Satan tempted Adam and Eve in the garden of paradise.
THE FUNDAMENTAL BATTLE OF ALL TIMES is who establishes the truth, God or the world, God or Satan, God or each person? This battle will increase even more in the next few years before the second coming or Jesus Christ. Lucifer said, I am God, I decide the Truth, and Saint Michael the Archangel replied with his name: “Who is like unto God?” Original Sin was the same deception: “But the serpent said to the woman, "You will not die. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil" (Gen 3:4-5)” Many modern philosophers led us into the “COPERNICAN REVOLUTION” of not seeking anymore reality and the truth outside of ourselves by way of our five senses but inside of ourselves, as if each one of us “will be like God”. “Abandoning the investigation of being, modern philosophical research has concentrated instead upon human knowing. …” (No. 5; Encyclical Letter: Fides et Ratio; John Paul II; 09-14-1998). In this fierce and underhanded battle, it is very important to be “wise as serpents” and not just “innocent as doves” (Mt 10:16)!
For myself, I TRUST MY LOVING CREATOR and thus I seek to understand and live the Ten Commandments as God intended (not according to the world), which were given to us for our true good, not for our harm
Dear friends, LET US REMAIN FAITHFUL TO THE END in this period of the great apostasy before the revelation of the Antichrist (2Thess 2:3-8), as all true saints have done, so that we can fly together to Eternal Life, with much prayer, true humility, and sacrifice, as Our Lady (of Fatima, Lourdes, ...) constantly and earnestly advises us!!! Here on earth, if we were to see heaven for an instant, we would immediately die of joy. If we were to see hell for an instant, we would immediately die of terror. St. Thomas Aquinas wrote that all the suffering and pain in the world combined is not equal to the minimum purification in purgatory!!! God does not let us see heaven or hell here on earth to respect our free will; otherwise, we would have no choice but to do His holy Will. This is our great dignity on the level of the angels, and therefore our great responsibility before God, created in the image of God (Gen 1:26-27)!
IF A CATHOLIC STOP going to CONFESSION at least once a month, and stops praying the ROSARY every day, that Catholic will automatically lose faith in the EUCHARIST, and everything else! “The Eucharist is the source and summit of the Christian life” (Vat. II: LG 11; CCC 1324). The Eucharist is the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ!
IT IS OUR CHOICE, to sincerely seek the Truth according to our Creator, or to invent the truth according to our changing whims and blind arrogance! No one goes to heaven by chance and no one goes to hell by chance. It is our choice and God respects our choice because God is true love!!!
I said to a priest I know for over 30 years: “Father Stephen, you have always said to the people in your parishes what they want to hear instead of what they need to hear to get to heaven! I would not want to be in your shoes when your die!!!” This is perhaps the MOST COMMON AND GRAVE SIN of most priests, bishops and fathers of families today! When these, who are responsible for the religious and family communities, “are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark” (Is 56:10), they are not “good shepherds” but “hirelings” (Jn 10:11-13)!
This is exactly what Dolly Parton does along with a great number of so-called “Christians” who only offer to people HALF-TRUTHS, the easy part of the whole Truth! What a sly deception that so many are very happy to accept, the easy way!
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” (Mt 7:13-14).
So yes, Dolly was right in saying: "AND YOU SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO BE HOW YOU ARE AND WHO YOU ARE."
Out of true love, God respects our freedom, our choice, to chose LIFE in obedience to God or to chose eternal DEATH in our blind arrogance to decide right and wrong according to us little gods, as Satan, “the father of lies” (Jn 8:44) temps us to do!
Very few people today trust God and thus seek to discover God’s Truth and the criteria of salvation according to the Creator of all that exists. JUST ABOUT EVERYONE TODAY SAYS I’M OK and I will go to heaven. But when they die, God will say, yes you are OK according to you but not according to ME. “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers’!” (Mt 7:21-23).
Today a great number of “Christians” REFUSE TO SUFFER DAILY WITH CHRIST, but are very willing to believe the great lie that heaven is automatic and hell does not exist!!!

Unfortunately, his love and the free gift of his salvation by grace is rejected every day, but there’s rejoicing in heaven when a soul comes to Jesus!

Well yeah, b ut there is strong evdence tat the creator was an intellient being. Beyonf that, no one can be absolutely sure. But I see no reason not to believe, because of the evidence that surrounds us, and the conviction that this was not just something that happened without design.
Is the earth purgatory? It wold sure make sense, because it has characteristics of both heaven & hell. Therefore, is earth a second chance for beings the Lord created?
Everyone, especially nonbelievers, had better ponder that wth real motivation for themselves. For it may detrmine where they want to spend eternity. 😁🤙

In addition to her never ending LGBT support, Dolly Parton taught generations of young women that having their bodies objectified is the way to profit.

You know you liked her. Don't deny it.
Her show business persona enabled her to rise from dire poverty in what was then a male-dominated business centered in Nashville. Her coy femininity may be part of what kept her from being pawed and raped along the way. The large evidence of her femininity disguised her even larger brain for business, enabling her to slide those deals right on by men who might have stood in her way, and likewise her sweet southern womanhood endeared her to other women.
Sorry, not sorry that you're offended by her acceptance of the large percentage of gay people who flock to the arts as musicians, costumers, marketers, promoters, stylists, et cetera. They helped her achieve a massive fortune that she gave HALF of it away to impoverished children, hospitals, fire and flood victims and family members.
And she continued to sing the gospel from time to time along the road of her life as a miserable sinner, as are we all. Most of us with a lot less talent and generosity.

Is the earth purgatory? It wold sure make sense, because it has characteristics of both heaven & hell. Therefore, is earth a second chance for beings the Lord created? Except purgatory isn't a "second chance." It is understood that everyone who is in purgatory was justified before God at the time they died and are assured of heaven, but they first need to be purified of any attachment to sin they might have had when they died (Hebrews 12:14; Hebrews 12:22-23; Revelation 21:27). There are no second chances.

what Dolly understood and said is just that.
She didn’t sign up to be a theologian.
I find it hypocritical to use her words , praise her and
then turn these very human thoughts and understanding
against that ,then proceed to demonize and lecture everyone
is not only VAIN but CONTEMPTIBLE.
Like I said she didn’t sign up to be a theologian.
She was a entertainer and loved God and did a multitude
of good works not only in public but I’m sure
many many unseen good works.

Yes, Dolly had a lot of talent!!!
Yes, I enjoy many of her songs!
But did you know that one of the most powerful angels ever created, Lucifer, is known also for his very great talent in music.
Unfortunately Lucifer declared to God: “I will not serve”! And Saint Michael the Archangel responded to him: “Who is like unto God?” - Which is the meaning of the name Michael. Lucifer became Satan!
So we are free to use the talents God gave us for his glory and true good of others, or for our glory to the detriment of others.
Lucifer has influenced many musicians to create satanic music to the great detriment of many, especially the youth.
The Rothschilds are very intelligent, as is Soros, Bill Gates, etc.

One of the fundamental lies of the atheists is that we arrived to life on this planet by chance, and that God does not exist!
These very powerful rich atheists have put these lies in just about all the text books in our public schools, promoting the totally unfounded theory of Darwin evolution.
As you say “the evidence that surrounds us” is enough proof for those who believe. All the words in the world will not suffice for those who refuse to believe!
