Very accurate choice of words... IMHO....
One of the diagnostic issues/phrases used by some knowledgeable sources regarding with these social behaviors and mmmmm ....patterns of preference.....
That they are "self-affirmed"
Just food for thought...
Pride comes before fall. Now days they seem to be more confused then ever before and why shouldn't they, we are letting them validate thier evil ways.Which says the church is failing them.I am failing them when I does say anything to help a gay. To me it is simple, man and man or women and women will not produce a baby.How can they go on? History never records where gays have made an impact in this world.As a person, man or woman they have as much to give if they act right.
When I came to the word "homophobic" in the fourth sentence, the authors points immediately lost any shred of validity and rationality for me. I knew then to expect vapid blather for the duration.
"We seek to confront spiritual violence at its source," said Chris Hubble, a local Soulforce leader. "We define spiritual violence as the misuse of religion to condemn or reject any of God's children."
Therein lies the severely flawed premise underlying ALL homosexual agenda propaganda. Conflating our innate human existence with a chosen human behavior is flawed thinking. Using such thinking one could and in this case does imply that ANY behavior a human being chooses to engage in is acceptable because a human is engaging in it...
DUMB...
I would suggest homosexual "soulforce" first confront reality head on prior to continuing their rainbow flag waving crusade of delusion...
Oppressed????? ROFL they oppress themselves by their actions.
A circle is a circle a square is a square, and the Bible is the Bible. One does not petition the Lord to change the laws for the faithful.
Dobsons power doesnt make him right, God makes him right. I wouldn't hold my breath about him changhing his mind about homosexuality.
Rom 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Rom 1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed [it] unto them.
Rom 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Rom 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Rom 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Rom 1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Rom 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Rom 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
Rom 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Rom 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Rom 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Rom 1:31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Rom 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
It's Gods teaching but they can't say that............yet.
