The rainbow is God’s symbol of forgiveness, not acceptance

Godly things (God Himself?) are often represented by the number 7 which symbolized perfection. Satan is referenced as 666, in reference to trying to be “close” to 7, and imitate seven.

I have no doubt that God had a hand in giving the pride flag 6 colors. The pride flag started out with 8 colors - the 7 of the rainbow plus hot-pink for gays. But shortly after it was created it was too difficult to get two of the colors of fabric so it became 6 colors.

“The symbol of a rainbow being a promise and covenant from GOD, is forever gone.”

Careful with that theology. Satan can and does certainly confuse men, but he can not cancel God’s covenant.

Satan does not have that power and he is not on the verge of acquiring that power.

“The homosexual community has adopted the rainbow as their symbol of God’s acceptance of their actions and lifestyle.”

Is that "rainbow" flag a proclamation of acceptance by Jehovah of those seem to be repentant but who remain in the practice of unremitting same-gender (or unmarried) sex gratification?

Romans 6:1-7 (AV):

"1What shall we say,the> Shall we continue in sin that grace nay abound:
2God forbid! How shall we that are dead to sin live any longer therein?
3Know ye not that so many if us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4Therefore, we are buried with him into death: that as Christ was raised up from death by the glory of the Father, even we also should walk in the newness of life.
5For if we have been planted in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.
6Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7For he that is dead is freed from sin."
Mark this, reader:

He or she (there is no between with God) who is still conducting the practices of sodomy or lesbianism, or is still convinced that the gender which every inborn cell of the body proclaims is not according to God's determination for them, that person is not dead to the sin of immorality, and therefore cannot be saved from God's condemnation to a fiery Hell upon death of the physical body.

Until that person realizes that the end of such a misconceived carnal life is transition of the soul into the ongoing spiritual death of Hades, until that person is suffused with a saving fear of that end, until that person abandons the idea of immoral physical gratification, and appeals unreservedly to the Mighty Judge for a pardon through a full commitment to become the sole property of the Messiah and Savior Jesus, then that person--still clinging to ungodly sexual activity--cannot have or claim to be reborn in the spiritual realm.

That person has not the indwelling Holy Spirit, and is not under His control. Personally claiming to be a "Christian" makes him/her a total phony, unworthy of trust in any area of life.

But what of the person who has forsaken and abandoned that mindset pf the many-lettered "Pride" community, and turned to God to be rescued from that arena into a life of a holy consciousness? Of enjoying a "normal" life as a child of the Holy Father, and a servant-Friend of His Son? And accepted by other true believers in His saving powers, as a spiritual brother or sister?

Romans 6:22=23 (AV):

22But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. 
22For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. 
Well, that state of new being, never to be rescinded, is a wholly undeserved but gracious gift of His love for that person.

Is that you?

Are there enough colors in cave drawings to make a rainbow?

Well done FRiend!
.
I’m distilling it down.
‘The End is Near’ seems played out.
Fred Phelps said ‘God Hates...’ and
that seems inaccurate. John the Baptist had a phrase that compelled repentance and guilt at the same time. Three words I can spell in Large letters;
‘FLEE GOD’S WRATH’
.

To: Tell It Right
AMEN!


 Genesis 9:8-16

Then God spoke to Noah and his sons: “I’m setting up my covenant with you including your children who will come after you, along with everything alive around you—birds, farm animals, wild animals—that came out of the ship with you. I’m setting up my covenant with you that never again will everything living be destroyed by floodwaters; no, never again will a flood destroy the Earth.”

God continued, “This is the sign of my covenant  I am making between me and you … I’m putting my rainbow in the clouds, a sign of my covenant  between me and the Earth. From now on, when I form a cloud over the Earth and the rainbow appears in the cloud, I’ll remember my covenant between me and you and everything living, that never again will floodwaters destroy all life. When the rainbow appears in the cloud, I’ll see it and remember the eternal covenant between God and everything living, every last living creature on Earth.”

 

 

'Tis always good to see EXACTLY what GOD said to Noah.

Amen. Even so, one thing all of use will encounter, and that is physical death.

The only way to flee from God's wrath is to flee TO Him, eh?

Safe Am I (click here)

Safe am I, Safe am I,
In the hollow of His hand.
Sheltered o’er, sheltered o’er
With His love forevermore.

No ill can harm me,
No foe alarm me;
For He keeps both day and night.
Safe am I, safe am I
In the hollow of His hand.

No hiding there from punishment for the sin that Lot escaped.

After the flood, God re-established his covenant with humanity through Noah and his family.

June is gay pride month.

Have fun while you can, for eternity is a long, LONG time!


 

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

  9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
      Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. 
But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

GingisK “Rainbows were there all along, they merely became the symbol of God's promise following the landing.”

Hard to do when it hadn't RAINED yet...


Then the LORD said to Noah, “Enter the ark, you and all your household, for you alone I have seen to be righteous before Me in this time. You shall take with you of every clean animal by sevens, a male and his female; and of the animals that are not clean two, a male and his female; also of the birds of the sky, by sevens, male and female, to keep offspring alive on the face of all the earth. For after seven more days, I will send rain on the earth forty days and forty nights; and I will blot out from the face of the land every living thing that I have made.”

Genesis 7:1-4 (NASB)
