?????????

Answer 1

i feel they twisted up a promise from God to mean something they think it should be.

i don't have any hateful or vindictive feelings towards anyone. i just don't like how people take something from God and twist it up.

Answer 2

The same way I feel when I see a non Christian wearing a cross. It has nothing to do with them at all, and they just wear it to blaspheme the Lord. They know how much the cross means to Christians, and they display it on themselves to belittle our faith. But, most of all, I wonder what God feels about it. It must grieve Him to see the sign of His Holy Covenant being used by those who practice sexual immorality, which He is against. There will come a day when they will not use God as a mockery, when they find out He truly exists, and they have to answer to Him. God Bless

Answer 3

Look, they're gay, what can you say? According to the Bible it's wrong. Man cannot lay with man. Very simple. I don't feel either way about a group who needs to feel like attention is a way of life. I already have a 2 year old who wants attention, he takes all my time as is.

Answer 4

I think the rainbow is a beautiful sign that is God given and has nothing to do with homosexuality. Their idea of "diversity" is flawed as well, since it is UNITY that bonds a nation, not diversity.

God bless!

What does the Bible say about homosexuality?

Rom. 1:24-27: “God, in keeping with the desires of their hearts, gave them up to uncleanness, that their bodies might be dishonored among them . . . God gave them up to disgraceful sexual appetites, for both their females changed the natural use of themselves into one contrary to nature; and likewise even the males left the natural use of the female and became violently inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males, working what is obscene and receiving in themselves the full recompense, which was due for their error.”

1 Tim. 1:9-11: “Law is promulgated, not for a righteous man, but for persons lawless and unruly, ungodly and sinners, . . . fornicators, men who lie with males, . . . and whatever other thing is in opposition to the healthful teaching according to the glorious good news of the happy God.” (Compare Leviticus 20:13.)

Jude 7: “Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities about them, after they . . . [had] gone out after flesh for unnatural use, are placed before us as a warning example by undergoing the judicial punishment of everlasting fire.” (The name Sodom has become the basis for the word “sodomy,” which usually designates a homosexual practice. Compare Genesis 19:4, 5, 24, 25.)

What is the attitude of true Christians toward those who have a history of homosexuality?

1 Cor. 6:9-11: “Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men kept for unnatural purposes, nor men who lie with men . . . will inherit God’s kingdom. And yet that is what some of you were. But you have been washed clean, but you have been sanctified, but you have been declared righteous in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and with the spirit of our God.” (Regardless of such a background, if persons now abandon their former unclean practices, apply Jehovah’s righteous standards, and exercise faith in his provision for forgiveness of sins through Christ, they can enjoy a clean standing before God. After reforming, they may be welcomed in the Christian congregation.)

True Christians know that even deeply rooted wrong desires, including those that may have a genetic basis or that involve physical causes or environmental factors, are not insurmountable for persons who truly want to please Jehovah. Some people are by nature highly emotional. Perhaps in the past they gave free rein to fits of anger; but knowledge of God’s will, the desire to please him, and the help of his spirit enable them to develop self-control. A person may be an alcoholic, but, with proper motivation, he can refrain from drinking and thus avoid becoming a drunkard. Likewise, a person may feel strongly attracted to others of the same sex, but by heeding the counsel of God’s Word he can remain clean from homosexual practices. (See Ephesians 4:17-24.) Jehovah does not allow us to go on thinking that wrong conduct really makes no difference; he kindly but firmly warns us of the consequences and provides abundant help for those who want to “strip off the old personality with its practices, and clothe [themselves] with the new personality.”—Col. 3:9, 10.

Answer 6

I have always wondered how hawaiians felt about homosexuals using the rainbow symbol.

Answer 7

Apparently God slapped a trade mark on that light refractive sucker a couple thousand years ago. No one told the homosexuals. They didn't know.

Answer 8

The enemy has perverted many things that the Lord had established, this is nothing new.

Answer 9

I feel offended but I don't have any hate or animosity towards gays.

Answer 10

Umm... the rainbow is a refractive property of light at low angles interacting with raindrops and air. I was unaware God had a trademark on it.
