WBC is a leftwing astroturf group
You will notice they never protest gay pride parades
I’m not judging anyone - I just question why churches in general hate homosexuality, while they ignore the rampant epidemic of divorce and remarriage. Certainly some remarriages are allowed due to the way the divorces came about, but those are in the minority.
Part of it is because at least people who get divorced at least acknowledge that it’s wrong. Whereas homosexuals don’t see what they do as a sin.
I wouldn't exactly call this sort of castigation a good example of Christian virtue either.
(Some people come here with the boring old scripture, I come here with cartoons.)
By the way, I say that with a great deal of hypocrisy...I’ve done that same thing more times than I can count...as have most of us. It’s still wrong.
she is setting a terrible example
yeah, I am a Catholic conservative, I know the difference between right and wrong
John 4: 17 “I have no husband,” she replied.
Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband. 18 The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.”
19 “Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet. 20 Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.”
21 “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
25 The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”
26 Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.”
27 Just then his disciples returned and were surprised to find him talking with a woman. But no one asked, “What do you want?” or “Why are you talking with her?”
yes, she should go and sin no more
Hmmm... law of sin and death. Could Paul be talking about the 10 commandments? Is there any sin which will separate us from God? Only one that I know of...
Matthew 12: 30 “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. 31 And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32 Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come. ...
...
John 5: 24 “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life. ...
...
John 6: ... 28 Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”
29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”
...
Romans 3: 21 But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. 22 This righteousness is given through faith in[h] Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. 25 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— 26 he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
27 Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. Because of what law? The law that requires works? No, because of the law that requires faith.
yeah sure it is okay then to murder someone as long as you believe, huh?
Different woman. Different day. Same Jesus! He did not tell her to leave her new man, at least not in my Bible...
Lighten up Francis. Sounds like you must be as pure as the wind driven snow. Ever done anything wrong? Sure you have. Ever have idiots show up at your house or place of work holding signs about your shortcomings? Sure you haven’t.
