For evangelicals who lament last Friday’s Supreme Court decision, it’s been a hard few days. We aren’t asking for emotional pity, nor do I suspect many people are eager to give us any. Our pain is not sacred. Making legal and theological decisions based on what makes people feel better is part of what got us into this mess in the first place. Nevertheless, it still hurts.
There are many reasons for our lamentation, from fear that religious liberties will be taken away to worries about social ostracism and cultural marginalization. But of all the things that grieve us, perhaps what’s been most difficult is seeing some of our friends, some of our family members, and some of the folks we’ve sat next to in church giving their hearty “Amen” to a practice we still think is a sin and a decision we think is bad for our country. It’s one thing for the whole nation to throw a party we can’t in good conscience attend. It’s quite another to look around for friendly faces to remind us we’re not alone and then find that they are out there jamming on the dance floor. We thought the rainbow was God’s sign (Gen. 9:8-17).
If you consider yourself a Bible-believing Christian, a follower of Jesus whose chief aim is to glorify God and enjoy him forever, there are important questions I hope you will consider before picking up your flag and cheering on the sexual revolution. These questions aren’t meant to be snarky or merely rhetorical. They are sincere, if pointed, questions that I hope will cause my brothers and sisters with the new rainbow themed avatars to slow down and think about the flag you’re flying.

I’m sick of hearing that so called Christians say we should reach out and love them while they fly their rainbows swastikas at other Christians and attack us.
Preachers were beaten in the street, churches are attacked, Christians are being sued and silenced , mainly because they are cowards and won’t speak up.
It’s a war and staying silent is helping them for the demise of Christianity .
Christians are being attacked and the left wants an end to Christianity .
How about substituting one statement for the 40 questions:
If you are waving that flag or otherwise supporting the faux marriage between two sodomites you are not a Christian.
Takes much less time and is more to the point.
A marriage is between me a man& a woman period anything g else is something else
The issue is the act of sodomy
When that was legalized the issue was lost
Sodomy Supporting Christian = Oxymoron

Hopefully three times will be enough.
Which is to say, if your "straight" couples aren't upholding the norms of Biblical marriage ONLY and natural sex ONLY, you know darn well you're in a poor position to demand that of the gheys. Deviants? The vast majority of "straights" have already deviated. The deviants can say, "Why not us, too?"
I know some good, committed Christians that are listening to the propaganda instead of the Spirit. They say “I know it is sinful but we let adulterous people get married too, so why not gays?” The difference, of course, is that an adulterer can repent and embrace true marriage, whereas a homosexual “marriage” is automatically and inevitably sinful.
They’re not Christians.
There are no Christians waving rainbow flags, just the anti God people,
They are simply NOT good, committed, or Christian. (1 Cor 6:9)
Thanks for posting that article...I saved a few of those questions for reference ...some very good questions this guy put together.
This is going to be a test for believers.....and we’re going to see a separation between those who are Christians and those who only profess so.
That's like saying pedophiles/homosexuals in the catholic church are that way because of celibacy. What this law has done is simply legalize 'sexual activity' between two persons of the same sex .....has nothing to do with divorce rates, contraceptives etc. It has to do with men who have turned their back on God and become sexual addicts as well as exhibitionists.
Third time is always a charm :)
They have sex for mutual satisfaction on many levels, but not for the procreative purpose which is, by God's design, its structural, psychological and spiritual core.
They can't explain why sex should just be between a man and a woman, because if fertility isn't a factor, the different anatomies have no significance. "Gender" (as they call it) has no significance.
People who have deliberately ditched this level of significance (contraceptors and sodomists) will eventually be having sex with warm, responsive, rechargeable Japanese androids, and "person" will have no significance.
and you said...
"That's like saying pedophiles/homosexuals in the catholic church are that way because of celibacy."
No, that's not like saying that at all. Not even by analogy. Not even close.
That sentence is not an argument, it is a fact.
