LGBT Activist Attacks Christians for Using Rainbow in Christmas Display
Constitution.com ^ | January 2, 2017 | Onan Coca

Posted on 01/03/2017 6:32:35 PM PST by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

This story may be the must bemusing and illogical of 2016, and it happened as the year came to a close.

Ken Ham is the Founder and CEO of Answers in Genesis and the creator of the amazing Ark Encounter in Williamstown, Kentucky. He is also a leader in the conservative evangelical community, where his work focuses on Biblical creationism and Christian apologetics. He and his team recently made the decision to use the rainbow as part of the decoration in their Ark Encounter Christmas celebration.

Visit the Ark at dusk to see it illuminated with rainbow colors as a testament to the true meaning of the rainbow. After the Flood, God designated the rainbow as the sign of His covenant to never again destroy the whole earth with water.

The rainbow has long been a part of Christian history, tradition, and doctrine, but apparently some LGBT activists don’t appreciate the symbol they stole being stolen back from them. In a letter to the editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, one lesbian activist opined about how shocked she was that these Christians were misappropriating a symbol of love.

Right now we need to take the rainbow and the word "gay" back.

We should use the word gay instead of happy every time we can.

I would add, we should also start referring to our states as blue states.

If they were blue under Reagan, why are they red now?

Red was associated with Communist/Leftist ideology. The media chose to change the colors after Reagan, so they did.

Here is a Reagan win map. Notice the colors are blue for Reagan's won states.

We are true blue, and they are Leftist red.


...This is how it was shown in the day. The MSM scrubed those maps as much as
they could.

Other examples:

I'd respond by posting photos of syphilis pustules on various naughty parts of the body...but that would get me banned.

As I was saying a few weeks ago, it’s time for us to take our rainbow back

Looks like Ken Ham is leading the way

F’ the Lesbians, Gays and any other kind of dung punchers.

The Rainbow was God’s sign of a promise that he would not destroy the earth again by flood...for the debauchery of what the gays etc represent.

The rainbow was a gift from God.

They cannot co-opt it. They can try, but believers know.

It is just wrong.

Anyway how can people own something so ephemeral?

Not bemusing at all. Blood-boiling is more like it.

If symbols are already taken they should be respected. Took my Navy Veteran Dad for a ride several years ago and we overtook a car with the “Butterbars” on a blue background sticker on the rear (how appropriate) bumper. As we passed Dad started to wave at the 06. As soon as he got a glimpse of the “captain” He realized that this person would have been challenged to command the Good Ship Lollipop. Hated to tell him what the = meant now.

The innocence of millions of little boys, for starters.

So, are these idiots going to go hunting for Leprechauns on St. Paddy's day too? Will every Irish greeting card be pulled from the racks which shows a rainbow with a pot of gold at the end of it. How are things in Gloca Mora this fine day?

God created the rainbow. It was a sign of mercy after the judgment of the Flood.
It will be present during the Final Judgment. Those who have not repented and turned from their sins and put their trust in Christ will face eternal wrath. Hopefully those trapped in the quicksand of sin will come to consider the rainbow before they are reaped and thrown into the winepress ...

Revelation 4:2-3 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

Revelation 10:1-3 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.

Revelation 14:14-20 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped. And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

So sorry fags and fagettes, God created rainbows for His pleasure - not yours!

You don't own it, He does!

Rainbow was way back in Genesis. Unless you queers want to claim that the pairs of animals on the ark were homo.

Just the unicorns.

The red denotes socialist leanings from back in the day.
