I pray the Gaines’ remain firm in their faith!

While I don't know them, I'm fairly confident maintaining their faith will not likely be a problem in Waco TX. HGTV is just going to help them increase their pocketbook and their church donations by driving more people to their retail outlet to show support. As others have pointed out in earlier threads on this subject, HGTV is already overrun with the usual light-in-the-loafers designers/architects. They also have shows that essentially feature the stereotypical urban same-sex high-income couple searching for their second-home to buy/decorate. Keep Chip and Joanna for a little balance!

Even with Trump in office and Republicans in control in both bodies of congress, the attack on Christians in this nation will continue. In fact I expect them to increase.

Jesus, in John 15:18, told us the world will hate us for being with Him because the world hates Him. We see this in this nation with attacks on Christians from evolutionists, the radical LGTB groups, Hollywood celebrities, atheists and many other left wing groups. As Christians we should expect this because Jesus warned us about it. As we approach the last days, the persecution will continue to increase. We must pray for one another. Seeing who these people are that are on this warpath against Christians, it makes me want to be a Christian all the more. These people are so full of hate and most are off their nut. My weakness is I need Jesus to help me love them and pray for them to see the Light.

Another reason I’m glad I quit watching TV in 2008.

A spirited defense of the couple from the Washington Post!?

[...]

BuzzFeed is probably at the forefront of discussions surrounding diversity in entertainment. Do their reporters think diversity refers only to skin color? Does ideological diversity count for nothing, especially when it is representative of, again, a sizable chunk of the American public?

Another concern I have with the story is that it validates everything that President-elect Donald Trump’s supporters have been saying about the media: that some journalists — specifically younger ones at popular digital publications — will tell stories in certain deceitful, manipulative ways to take down conservatives. (And really, I can’t for the life of me imagine any other intention of the Gaines story.)

Stories such as this will serve only to reinforce the growing chasm between the media and Trump, which means we are in for four agonizing, tedious years of “gotcha” non-stories like this one.

A few years ago, gay activists decided the best way to win arguments in favor of same-sex marriage was to shut up their opponents. All they had to do was lob a charge of homophobia and the argument was won. Or they tweeted at the companies that employed the “homophobes” until they were fired. Conservatives were bullied on social media and mocked for being ass-backward (and indeed, some of them were and are). But they were never taken seriously.

They were simply dismissed with a snarky RuPaul GIF. At the time, this seemed like a good strategy because, well, Hillary Clinton was a shoo-in for president and because the country was only becoming more and more liberal, and those kinds of hillbillies were being left in the dark.

Enter Trump — the voice of all of the people liberals and activists have been shutting up for the past eight years. It’s no secret that part of Trump’s success is owed to how skillfully he invalidated the media’s authority in the eyes of his conservative followers. The message was very clearly: The media doesn’t like me because I’m conservative, and they don’t like you because you’re conservative, and they’re going to try to ruin all of us, so let’s just ignore them.

And then, like clockwork, BuzzFeed published a story proving him right.

A lot of HGTV home shows feature faggie `couples’ who are treated with kid gloves by the hosts. Not hard to figure why the Gaystapo came down on this couple.

The perverts are only 2 tenths of 1 percent (.02%) of the population. They suffer from Gender Identity Disorder (GID). Why is it that a small percentage of the population suffering from a mental disorder seems to have such a profound influence on national policy? If you look at the relationship Barry Sotero had with the perverted adults in his family during his chilhood it becomes glaringly apparent why he has a driving obsession with normalizing perversion and the perverted.

So far, the viewers are still watching the show. Tuesday night’s show was highly rated. The news began Monday so it COULD have affected it and has not. Thank God for the Christians who are standing behind this wonderful family.

I will pray for them to remain strong.

Something I can’t quite figure out, is that the Gaines are liked because of their warmth and wholesomeness. That’s who they are. Why is it a surprise to anyone that they belong to a Bible believing church, where warmth and wholesomeness is encouraged?

Did this “news” reporter investigate the sermons at the mosque that the Orlando gay night club shooter attended?

“it’s worth looking at the severe, unmoving position Seibert and Antioch take on same-sex marriage.”

Yes- let’s take a look- Woopsie- it’s the same ‘unmovable’ stand that God takes on the issue- Whoda thunk that a church would actually agree with their creator?

It shouldn’t be surprising to anybody as you well state.
Evil leftists will do whatever they can to destroy good folks, and especially Christians.
This is part of the spiritual war we’re engaged in daily that Paul talks about in Ephesians 6:12.

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places”

Leftists are influenced and controlled by these principalities.

“Was going to read, but I HATE websites that start playing music or any audio when you load them. If I want to hear audio ill watch TV or turn on the stereo. I surf the web in silence and like it that way.”

Then use Firefox as your browser. It has a Reader View mode that just gives you the article in silence and cuts out all the audio and extra imbedded windows.

Look...the subversive left cares knowing for homosexuals. If the subversives thought it were politically expedient to throw them into incinerators, they would.
