Church backs "Being gay is a gift from God" billboard

[lilmoepal]

what scripture says it is a gift? you teaching something that the bible doesn't teach that makes your teaching false

[foreverinchrist1]

This why the Scriptures state say, Judgement begin in the house of God. When the church can't stand for righteousness we have a serious problem. How does this church teach that Homosexual behavior is sin, but never tell these people the truth. This is so sad and a disgrace to the kingdom of God.

[tommyboyfierce]

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I LOVE THEM =D

[dwinters75]

If all of you read the bible which you claim to and know, didn't Jesus mention something about judging others? Some of the very people that you are judging he ate and drank with them! Religion is choice, however, being insensitive of others is not a quality that Jesus promoted

[jb007rb]

@dwinters 75 so you think being a sinner must be from Christian God? I dont think so, may be you know little about God and Jesus

[timeisupUS]

omg look at the two big fat heffiers ewww i cant help but picture them rolling around in feces on the rubber sheets. homosexuality is a curse. Hurricanes tornadoes , earthquakes are nothing compared to the judgment of God -giving a person over to their lusts.

[ejayc1]

well i am agree with what you guys said, when i am back home, (country) i serve the Lord by preaching the word of God. i have a lot of young people that come to God and serve Him as well. some of them are already partors, evangelist, and sunday school teacher. despite the thing that they know that i am a gay.

[timeisupUS]

@ejayc1 being gay and christian is oxymoron. 2Th 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

[iym413]

Here we go again. Every time anyone puts God into a sentence, all the "The Bible Says" people come out like ants at a picnic. Despite the obvious fact that some of you don't even know how to write in English, you feel the need to let the world know that you are the spokesperson for the mind of God. Everyone and everything created is by the design of God, not you, so if a person is Gay it is because they are meant to be. No devil or demon made them this way, and it is not a "choice" either.

[timeisupUS]

@iym413 God made them for Hell TO BURN them as fuel for the fire and these two hefiers are gonna sizzle real good . fat burns you know!

[iym413]

@timeisupUS And you would know this how? Are you God? Has God sent you an Email? I know..... You just think you know, like all the other members of the fanatical religious right! If you actually read the Bible, it say to "Love your enemy". Obviously you have never actually read the Bible, and you are a false Christian, because you definitely are NOT Christ Like in any way whatsoever.

[timeisupUS]

@iym413 loving your enemy is not coddling him in his sin. You dope , you think christ went around patting perverts in the back maybe you should actually read the Bible before you jabber about it. They hated him because he ''testified that their deeds were evil/ Jn 7:7  I testify that glbt is evil filth .

[iym413]

@timeisupUS As usual, you take the Bible out of context. Try reading from Genesis to Revelation without skipping around and you will learn a great deal.I see that you won't though, so this debate is now over. Perhaps one day you will come to realize that the demented mind programming that you have been subjected to, has blinded you top reality. You are probably one of those hardcore people who believe that the Bible actually states that Jesus claimed to be God. He didn't. Look it up.

[timeisupUS]

@iym413 youre half assed attempts at a pseudo theological debate will not change the plain *crystal* clear standards of God. NO FAGS IN HEAVEN.

[dwinters75]

@iym413 Just ignore some of these people on here... If God is love, why in the world would he want to harm his creation. Makes no sense. People don't think before they speak.

[masonwealth]

@dwinters75 Jesus said I have not come to bring peace but a sword.

[pamelapatricenbanks]

not sure where thy are going wit ths. life is a gift from god bein gay is jst another way 4 da devil 2 keep us frm da main focus GOD . He is da only reason we live. He is our purpose in life 2 live 4 him. da ppl who aint gay are lossing it as well every1 is worry who gay who not.But not focusing on god. He called us 2 serve him every day along wit loving others Regardless of who thy like befriend thos who struggle wit anything luv thm pray 4 them & god will do da rest.

[pernch]

Society is shifting to become more accepting of LGBT people, and so every facet of society is just going with the flow. Religion is the most resistant to this change because it is so rooted in tradition and dogma, but people like this are dragging it into the era of LGBT tolerance kicking and screaming. Of course it goes against what the bible actually says, just like Christianity went against what the Hebrews of Jesus' day believed. I still support this movement.

[timeisupUS]

@pernch there will always be a remnant of sane whole people that will ''resist'' the proposition that mutilating your genitals , getting pumped full of hormones and masquerading as the opposite sex is normal and go along with the ''flow'' thank God Im one,

[pernch]

@timeisupUS Sounds to me like referring to transsexuals, not homosexuals. Just one facet of the GLBT community. You can be comfortable in your biological sex and gender and still be attracted to members of the same sex. And if attacking, and verbally accosting, and discriminating against people just for who they are attracted to is your definition of sanity, then by all means color me insane.

[jspowehn]

@WestboroDocumentary

Leviticus 18:22 - "Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable."

Romans 1:26-27 - "Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion." (NIV)

just to name a few

[alwel648]

@jspowehn get over it

[timeisupUS]

@jspowehn 2Th 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: the delusion is that cutting of your dick and getting injections and masquerading as a woman is normal.

[dwinters75]

@jspowehn It has been documented in scientific research that other life forms on this planet do the same thing. And its not because they don't have free will either. Human beings are a part of this planet as every other form of life, not separate. In my humble opinion, man has forgotten his connection with nature and replaced it with beliefs that separate him from who he truly is...

[WaitonAlsoSings]

What needs to cease is this endless rigamarole and pointless attack of homosexuality. The structure of the conservative, judgmental, and downright CRUEL christian faith is...deplorable. SO much positive spiritual energy is wasted by confused, weak-minded individuals flinging about their bibles to pass judgment on others. To be honest, if anyone should be persecuted, it IS the Christians. They are hypocritical, lost, and terribly immature. Make up your own minds for a change.

[broken2bmadewhole]

Why does everyone automatically assume that a news title that carries the name of " church did such & such or says such & such" automatically it represents God's true church in the news???

This is so annoying. It is unfortunate that people are being led astray from the truth. Seek the creator about everything you do. Stop listening to man's opinion when it conflicts with the word of God.

[dwinters75]

If this is true that god created all... the first two commandments were not to worship any other gods and to love thy neighbor as thy self. NOWHERE did it say that only if thy neighbor is not gay, or doesn't smoke, or drink, or have sex before you are married should you follow this. I really hate it when people judge others and think that they have the right to do so. You have a right to believe whatever you want. Don't try to tell others that they are going to burn in hell.

[dwinters75]

And you, bestfashion7904 know what you are talking about? Hmm... I find it amusing how people who are not gay and don't know of anyone who is gay think that they know all about it. Try educating yourself, and then you shall know the truth

[timeisupUS]

@dwinters75 i dont have to cut my dick off to know that glbT is a mental illness

[dwinters75]

@timeisupUS By the comments that you post here, you are already displaying that you have a mental illness. Being gay is not something that you learn or choose, and people who are not gay do not understand that

[timeisupUS]

@dwinters75 no twit. cutting off your dick and masquerading as a woman is a mental illness.

[dwinters75]

@timeisupUS Look, If you don't have any kind of respect for yourself that's fine, but have some kind of class about yourself not to be childish and call people names. This is a public site to voice opinions but if you feel that you have to call people names then please have some respect.

[timeisupUS]

@dwinters75 stfu no one needs your permission or approval to speak.  God calles them abomination. brute beasts , dogs , fuel for the fires of hell etc. if you dont like it well i guess thats just too bad

[bestfashion7904]

this people dont kow what they are talking about.....being gay is not a gift frm god....god doesnt create gay people

[alwel648]

@bestfashion7904 obviously you dont get out much. last time i checked, God makes everyone to his plan correct? so who are you to say anything about what God makes and does not make?

[timeisupUS]

@alwel648 agreed God made them specifically for hell

[timeisupUS]

@bestfashion7904  yes God created them for hell

[smurfboywv]

I don't know if its a gift, if so its a pretty bad one. We get treated badly, beaten and killed.

[timeisupUS]

@smurfboywv more often you kill yourslves latley . its a curse not a gift. loser

[smurfboywv]

@timeisupUS The curse we have is the church, cults need to be shut down.

[timeisupUS]

@smurfboywv you puny impotent twit, you and what army is going to shut down the Church of the living God. God is going to overthrow this filthy glbt nation with fire and brimstone.

[smurfboywv]

@timeisupUS Church of the living God? HAHA nice joke. I think you mean Church of satanic lies. This "filthy LGBT nation" is what keeps people together, people like you should be sent to hell without judgement. You have no place in this world to spread hate and kill Gods children.

[timeisupUS]

@smurfboywv 2Th 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: God hates you and he is going to destroy you , thats the reason he sent you this delusion. the T in glbt stands for a man cutting off his dick and masquerading as a woman and you think thats a good thing. You are so screwed. destruction is imminent,.

[smurfboywv]

@timeisupUS What bible are you reading, mine doesn't say that. As far as being given over, that was to the temple prostitution and idolatry those people were committing.

[timeisupUS]

@smurfboywv no perverts in heaven. period homos are those God has given over to a depraved mind. Rom 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: men burning in their lust ,one for another , no reference to prostitution. pervert

[smurfboywv]

@timeisupUS Temple prostitution, idol worship, and soldiers using young men along with their wives, it was a common practice in those days. The Book of Romans was written by Paul to ROME not to us.

[timeisupUS]

@smurfboywv men with men women with woman money involved or not . same thing. abomination./

[smurfboywv]

@timeisupUS Nope, the abomination here are christians.

[timeisupUS]

@smurfboywv GOD define what abomination is. not u

[smurfboywv]

@timeisupUS And its the christians! Christians are the reason for the hate and the reason gays get killed, they are also responsible for all the teens who commit suicide.

[smurfboywv]

@timeisupUS And being Gay is not spoken of by God. Loving your neighbor is not him being gay, its helping each other out in times of need. Christians condemn gays not God. You obviously are of the devil spreading hate and lies.

[timeisupUS]

@smurfboywv  youre bible dumb. read romans one God geve them over to a depraved mind. God hates them and will destroy them and this fag enabling nation just like he did sodom

[smurfboywv]

@timeisupUS Well first of all, we don't live in rome and we aren't romans. Second, paul wrote those letters to the city of Rome. That letter was for ROME just like his letter to the Corinthians was for the town of Corinth.

[smurfboywv]

@timeisupUS Oh, and i'm pretty sure a gay person who loves God would be saved and taken to Heaven long before a hateful idiot like you would. God Bless!

[timeisupUS]

@smurfboywv  your lip service about loving God is worthless. Jesus said if you love me keep my commandments. so forget it . no fags in heaven.

[smurfboywv]

@timeisupUS Keep telling yourself that. Stop worshiping satan.

[timeisupUS]

@smurfboywv you got nothing  I got Bible

[smurfboywv]

@timeisupUS You got Bible huh? Won't do you any good since man wrote it and re-worded it, its the word of man not the word of God.

[timeisupUS]

@smurfboywv retard- every book , news paper, instructions , cereal box you ever read was written by man. - assuming you've ever read one.

[smurfboywv]

@timeisupUS LOL ok whatever, you need to go take your anti-depressant pills.

[timeisupUS]

@smurfboywv like I said , you can troll, I got Bible .NO fags in heaven..

[smurfboywv]

@timeisupUS You never know, Jesus might smoke cigarettes! :-)

[WestboroDocumentary]

The Bible clearly teaches that homosexuality is an abomination. Homosexuality is a CURSE from God, not a gift... If God approves of it, why would the Bible say in 1 Cor 6 that they are forbidden from entering Heaven? Stop lying about God.

[smurfboywv]

@WestboroDocumentary What verse says thou shalt be hetero?

[WestboroDocumentary]

@smurfboywv Um, it's commanded all throughout the Bible. From the very first book to the very end.

[smurfboywv]

@WestboroDocumentary LOL ok whatever.

[dwinters75]

@WestboroDocumentary And the bible has been translated so many times... mistakes have been made

[timeisupUS]

@smurfboywv Matthew 19;4-5 adam and eve not adam and steve -dummy

[godsmacks1000]

I guess they never read Leviticus or Romans.

[smurfboywv]

@godsmacks1000 I have, and neither condemn homosexuality.

[0Clairvoyant0]

Much nicer message than the one the Westboro Baptist church has about most things.

[Jasoncr76]

@0Clairvoyant0 Fuck the westboro church....Most of them are a bunch of haters anyway. I mean they were the ones that showed up to Matthew Shepard funeral and protested. How sickening? They don't even represent what God stands for!

[0Clairvoyant0]

@Jasoncr76 And they still do that at funerals and stuff, right? It's horrible.

[Jasoncr76]

@0Clairvoyant0
