I meant...
If Cheney's daughter were in ambitious and greedy businesswoman INSTEAD OF HOMOSEXUAL, would we even be having this conversation? If not, why not?
I agree with you. Is there something about my post that you are referring to?
Maybe the Cheney's don't consider homosexuality to be a sin. Do either of them profess to be Christians?
The two are not mutually exclusive.
Weasel words. Is the ACLU under local control? Is the NEA under local control? Are universities which spew forth teachers leftist controlled or local controlled?
Does rational thought trump The Bible?
Well, let's talk when you can internalize Scripture. I'm not really interested in a Scripture quote as much as what you think that Scripture quote means.
You were talking about people should come down off their pedastal to help homosexuals. I stated that there are many who do help, but homosexual activists and their assistants (as in the media, educational institutions, government agencies, etc) do everything they can to subvert that help.
There is One true judge, and no one here is Him.
God tells us to keep one another on the straight path.
James 5: 19-20
My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back, remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
Don't local school boards have some say over what's taught and what isn't?
Ok I read the sentence again, and I'm standing by it. The point that I'm making is that a lot of people here seem to think that the best way to help a nonbeliever is to get them to quit sinning. In the eternal scheme this does nothing. Is a non-Christian who follows every word of the Bible any more likely to get to Heaven than one who sins? Of course not. So we must first convice the nonbeliever to accept Jesus before we try to change their external actions.

OH MY GOD, BILL PULLMAN IS A LESBIAN IN A MAN'S BODY!
LOL, how on earth did you find a photo so similar???
Their meaning and mine was clear enough for you to tell me that I was wrong.
You don't want to debate Scripture. You want to debate opinion. My only authority is Scripture.
Oh, I see. I was referring to life in general - as far as people coming down from their pedastals. You are correct, in that people have to be willing to accept help. However, perhaps that help needs to be presented in a more Christ-like manner, instead of with brickbats. And, btw, I don't believe there are any gay activists that have the true well-being of gays in mind. Or government agencies, for that matter.
You just think that.
Someday maybe you'll figure out the difference between judging between right and wrong in the political sphere and condemning people. The first is necessary to keeping the world from descending into chaos, and the latter is God's business, not ours.
Then you have those who want to speak some truth, but they want to corrupt the innocent in the process. They want to provide group therapy in our public schools. That's no answer either. Stop gasping at, "that's gross," and start being thankful that at least a few people still recognize that in fact, the behavior is gross. It's not bullying. It's the truth. There's more truth, but that's a start.
"God tells us to keep one another on the straight path."
But does he suggest we do that by whacking them over the head with a Bible they don't understand? or by teaching them what's in the Bible first? Then if they don't listen, you can whack them with it, k? :)
