Pink Cross Foundation is a faith-based IRS approved 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated to reaching out to adult industry workers offering emotional, financial and transitional support. We largely focus on reaching out to the adult film industry offering education and resources to victims of sex trafficking and violence in the workplace. Pink Cross Foundation also reaches out to those struggling with pornography addiction offering education and large doses of truth to recover.

What is Pink Coss?

I detest this “hate crime” meme. If this bishop truly hated the gays, he would keep silent and let them just go to hell. It is for the love of Christ and their souls that he speaks the truth to them. I’m not Catholic, but I appreciate those who stand on the Biblical principles.

Bishop Faces Three Years in Jail for Defending Marriage (cites Leviticus)

I would cite Genesis. I would point out that "God burned them all to death", and so I figure that means "No."

coming to here very soon.

I for one will not be silent on this issue, regardless of what they think they can do to me.

Men died giving us these freedoms, the country was founded on this freedom and they can think they have a right m, but they do not according to the Constitution.

The bishop had crossed a “red line,” said the head of Pink Cross, in a statement reported by Newsweek. “We believe in freedom of expression, and taking quotes from the bible is fine. But then he said the words should be applied to real life, which is the equivalent of calling for the death penalty for gay people. We were worried about that. He is the leader of a big church, and he was calling for people to follow his words, and we thought this could be dangerous.”

RF guidelines prevent me from categorizing this statement for what it is. The potty language clause, at the very least.

They sure have a funny attitude about Christianity for a Nation who's flag looks like this:

And yes I checked. The Flag's cross started as a Christian symbol.

The bishop is doing them a favor. They should listen. If they choose to take the path they are on, then so be it. They will stand before God one day - whether they believe in Him or not. The bishop has done nothing wrong.

I think the one you called a leftist troll, was being facetious.

That individual is new to FreeRepublic, and appears to me have been making FR style 'snarky' comment, which as intended was ridicule of "pink cross" trying to RULE.

Does that make sense?

As for you Marvin (may we call you Marvin?) Welcome to FreeRepublic!

Yet take caution on participating on threads marked 'religion'.

There are rules (which you did not break, as far as I can tell, fwiw) that differ to an extent from general forum moderation.

It could be fair to say that FR is largely unmoderated, since I am certain that there has always been a wide range of commentary that does not always (or even much at all, depending) reflect the views of management (and the bare few moderators that there are here).

I am not a moderator, but here is the religion forum moderator's homepage --->http://www.freerepublic.com/~religionmoderator/.

Those rules as it were, developed over a span of years. I find there is a certain logic to them, and that although everyone involved is not perfect, the moderation itself is never applied without some cause, and most often only with due cause, the reasonings for which can be gleaned from the provided link to that moderator's homepage.

As mentioned in a related thread, Leviticus 20:11 likewise required a man who sleeps with his father’s wife to be put to death. But 1 Corinthians 5 shows us that Paul did not instruct that church to put to death a member who had slept with his father’s wife in compliance with Leviticus 20:11.

Instead, Paul reflected on Jesus’ teaching of Matthew 18:15-17 for a Christian church to not associate with unrepentant sinners, Paul writing in 1 Corinthians 5:11 not to even eat with such people.

So Jesus’ death and resurrection evidently changed how a Christian church is supposed to deal with members who show by their actions that they are unrepentant sinners.

Consider that if the Bishop had been more familiar with the Scriptures then he probably could have saved himself much grief with Swiss law.

Yes, Pink Cross will attack Christian clergy for quoting the Bible and saying they are involking murder for something that hasn’t been done by Christians for ages. What will they say when their local neighborhood muslim kills a ‘pink code’ member for being homosexual? probably nothing.

Pink Cross Switzerland is not the same thing as the one trying to help porno stars in this country. In Switzerland, it is a radical homosexual lobby (you know, the kind that Pope Francis has never seen)

What is pink cross?

I'm not certain, but after a little checking (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) but the so-called pinkcross that you linked to in comment #1 doesn't appear to have the same focus & cause as the one which you had gone to the effort of providing link to in the body of the article.

Geez.

Some people (not you) have either ruined or else complicated what were once perfectly good (enough) words and phrases.
