    OR....and I'm just spitballing here....if you REALLY find the suicidal ideation of tortured and shunned trans people to be sad, MAYBE....just MAYBE...you would stop unquestioningly and relentlessly supporting people who use trans people as a punching bag over and over and over, and who demand that they be treated as non-entities by society and all of our institutions.

    I mean, if you are really saddened by a group of people being driven to suicide, it SEEMS like you'd want to put a stop to the thing driving them to suicide.  Instead, you help the cruelty push down on the gas pedal.

    And y'all wonder why people think Christians are cruel hypocrites.

    Actually, you don't wonder.  You know.  You just don't care.

    Wrong.  I do care.  Have one in my family and a couple gays also.  
     

    The last president I voted for was the first one ever elected who was pro gay marriage in running for a first term.

    This is a direct order: everyone, get fucked up. Even those in recovery, I’m giving you a hall pass.

    I am not in recovery.  But I quit drinking some time ago.  Might fire up some bud.

    He doesn’t rattle.  Doesn’t mean he won’t have a bad game.  But I don’t think his blood pressure or heart rate deviate 5 percent up or down in a game.  Pure ice water in his veins.

    Your beliefs are why trans children attempt suicide at a rate of over 50% of them. Your beliefs are why you are "confused" about the issue. Your beliefs are the cause of the misinformation spread and the state-sponsored violence against families with trans children in Texas. Your beliefs are bad, gross, and un-Christian, as is your refusal to seriously examine them. If there is any truth to the gospel message, you will be judged for this and turned away from.

    Children are not confused by gender noncomformity because they have a fucking imagination and naturally empathize with other children when given permission to use that imagination.

    Fuck you, fuck Sack, fuck GRU, and fuck the multitude of other active/no longer posting homophobic and transphobic bigots that still throw out slurs and hateful rhetoric without a thought to the actual damage that those beliefs and expressions ultimately lead to in real kids' lives. It's a moral stain on this board and on the University of Texas that the majority of posters haven't run y'all off. You cannot tolerate intolerance.

    Aren’t you the one who has repeatedly said on this website you’re retirement plan is to commit suicide?   That sadness grieves my heart.  I was miserable too until I started walking with Christ.  I strongly recommend you let Him in your heart and accept him as your savior.

    Y'all remember that thread in Board Discussion where so many pieces of shit were predicting that people would be banned left and right after a specific LGBT-related report/autoban feature was announced? Lmao

    You seem like a very unhappy person.   I hope I’m wrong about that.

    sure about this response?

    in the christ followers thread?

    empathy. sympathy. these are the paths you are looking for. 

    right?

    right?

    Of all the hateful, sidebar insults in this thread directed at me and Poe, it is telling you choose only to criticize me for an innocuous and dumb joke I made quoting Ricky Bobby's dad Reese.

    that's the thing that annoys me the most.

    either poe is a fucking rube and a rhetorical tool for fucking liars, or he's a fucking liar. this misrepresentation is just so comical that there is no other way to interpret it.

    i can't reconcile this, so maybe poe can do so.

    why do you think that teachers are making homosexuality part of the curriculum? where are you getting that idea?

    Are you a believer?  Have you accepted Jesus Christ is the son of Gods and your personal savior?

    lol so you claim to want gays to be able to marry, but you also want to dictate the private life of a married couple? Sounds very Lawrence V Texas of you, my dude

    I was clear.  Gays should have all civil rights under the law.  
     

    That is a separate issue from religion.  I can support gays right to a marriage license but not their right to have my church marry them.  Separation of church and state.  
     

    My religious beliefs shouldn’t impact the rights of others under the law of the state

    I have the ability to not drink. I don’t have the ability to become gay just as a gay person doesn’t have the ability to become straight.

    One has the ability to not have homosexual sex, which is the sin.  
     

    Paul was celibate.  Maybe  because he preferred men.  I don’t know.

    So why do so many in the church lose their mind over certain sins and ignore and gloss over others?  Many focus on the sins that drive seats in butts and tithes and drive "my candidate" into power. 

    There's a good chance that church leadership that is seething over certain sins is covering up their own issues...

    https://www.cru.org/us/en/communities/ministries/josh-mcdowell-ministry/silent-epidemic-the-churchs-problem-with-porn.html 

    and its this type of behavior that kills the church's witness. 

    I have no idea.  I can’t speak for churches I don’t attend.  I can tell you this, I’ve sat in the same pew for 15 years and have never heard one word about homosexuality pro or con.   I have heard porn mentioned.  And many other sins.  People should find better churches if theirs are doing it wrong.  
     

    I don’t need my church to discuss homosexuality.  I’d prefer sermons exclusively on sins that I struggle with.  I won’t attend one who sanctions it or any other sin.

    The thing that you continue to refuse to acknowledge is that people who are gay are born gay, it is a part of who they are and they have no choice in the matter. It is not a new part of society that modern heathens are wanting the gospel to conform to, it is an inconsistency that exists between the central message and the small parts that some interpret as meaning that God created some of us with sin wrapped up as not just an inescapable proclivity but as a fundamental attribute of who we are as humans. I think a cleaner interpretation is that people who have prioritized that part of their scriptural interpretation to turn Christianity into the message of hate that much of society hears are both wrong and the ones responsible for damaging the kingdom and harming others.

    Many alcoholics have a genetic predisposition to being drunk all the time.  That doesn’t excuse their sin of drunkenness.  They must repent and not deliberately continue in sin. 
     

    Jesus forgave the woman caught in sexual sin.  He also told her to go and sin no more.

    Thank you... this is it... it is the focused obsession with one sin committed by others while glossing over other sins.  It is "ranking" sins... "THIS one is super bad BUT hey the political candidate I really like and support, well, I'm just ignore that he commits a long list of sins on regular basis because, see, being a liar has a better ranking" or when looking at scripture that has a laundry list of sins, some are "SUPER BAD!!!" but the Church whistles past the other ones.

    Here's the funny thing... the Bible is not too happy about the rampant pornography problem that exists with males in churches but I bet that's pretty much being glossed over.  Too many people committing it in-house to get to up in arms about it.  

    Go back to the verse about the plank in your own eye...

     

    Sins are equal. We all sin.  Sin is rebellion against God and requires repentance.

    I don’t know you beyond this place and I don’t care about what your response to me here would be as I don’t think it would be informative. But as a question for you to reflect on - do you have any evidence in your life that you are actually capable of rethinking long held beliefs and determining that you have been wrong all along? Can you think of specific examples where this has happened, or is “I am humble and able to accept when I am wrong” simply a thing you believe to be true about yourself?

    Well, prior to law school I used to believe gay marriage should be unlawful.

    I also used to believe as a very young Christian who grew up in the Church of Christ that we were the only ones going to heaven.  I no longer believe that and have not worshipped in a Church of Christ regularly (aside from with family when visiting on occasion) in a couple decades.  (My opinion on that and the opinion on most C of C ers changed probably back in the 80s, at least where I worshipped). That belief is something I only believed when I was a child.  There is no support for it in the bible and it was 100% wrong.

    My positions on women's proper role in the church has evolved as I have studied the issue. I voted as a deacon to support adding women as deacons at my church. I believe that is absolutely scriptural.  

    I am open to changing positions when I see sound and biblical reason to do so.

    As for a believer in Jesus, I probably side with those who think he was an actual historical figure and that he was a righteous dude, regardless of his divinity, and I try to live my life according to the golden rule.

    In the words of C.S. Lewis, Jesus was either a liar, a lunatic, or the Lord. I believe He is exactly who He said He is.

    If brother deacon sack adjudicates you to be a heretic and unclean he won't put any more effort in than a form response. Classic and very cool shit from the boards highest ranking church member. You'll definitely be a shining light on the hill using that tack 

    I have no interest in debating scripture with people who start from a place where they do not believe any of it. My belief on what the bible says about homosexuality is my good faith belief.  It does not affect you in any way.  I strongly believe gays should be afforded all equal rights under the law, including the right to be married. I have no issue with Title VII being extended to gays and transgenders, despite my belief Congress never intended that result when it passed the law in 1964.  Does not matter to me.  Does not hurt anything.

    I wouldn't expect a muslim to have any interest in debating me about the various interpretations of the Quran.  Same with Hindus and The Vedas. I just don't care what nonbelievers think about God's Word. Their views are not relevant to me.  I don't expect my views to be relevant to them.  I don't care if they don't care about my views.  We are coming from completely different places.

    This is a thread for Christ followers.  I am more interested in what they have to say.  I have no ill will towards any Christian who believes homosexual sex is not a sin and that the Bible/Jesus approves of gay marriage.  Their views don't impact me.  Maybe they are right.  Maybe I am.  I can only go with what I believe the Bible says.  If I am wrong, at Judgment I will tell my Savior so and do my best to explain I was seeking His will based on the scriptures and my imperfect and human viewpoint. 

    I have the humility to know I may be wrong.  Some seem awfully confident in their contrary opinion despite scant or no scriptural evidence to support their boastful confidence. Either way, 1st Corinthians 13:12 says:

    For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

    Good rule of thumb: If it all goes dark and you wake up and see Jimmy Carter, you’re probably right where you want to be. If you see Johnny Sack, Poe and /or Bob Stoops… you might be in the Bad Place. If you see Workswithseed, you should probably quit doing meth.

    Seems a little judgmental.  Do you believe Jesus Christ is the son of God, came to earth and died at Calvary for your sins?

    Without wading into trying to convince anyone whether any given interpretation of scripture is correct or not (they ain't gonna happen in this thread) I think the bolded statement is not correct. Atheists and agnostics do have skin in the game simply because Christianity has an immense amount of influence on culture and government at all levels. Not even arguing whether that is a good thing or a bad thing, but surely you agree that any given interpretation does impact us all (at least in this earthly life, if not afterlife)?

    They don't believe the scriptures are true.  There is no use arguing which interpretation should be correct.  They don't believe in either one.

    I've been alluding to this throughout this thread. There is no definitive answer except a personal "I believe". With that said, I will choose the side that doesn't treats humans as if they are less than human just because they were created slightly different than me. I would also add that I personally believe that Southern Baptist "doctrine" is so far removed from orthodox Christianity that it's difficult to take any of it's theological conclusions seriously. It's completely removed from the patristic founding of Christianity and unlike any of the groups that grew out of the Reformation. With it being so different and relatively new how can you be confident that it is sufficient?

     

    Don’t know and don’t care.  I couldn’t even tell you what the Southern Baptist doctrine is.  I don’t consider myself one.  If you have specifics about the SBC you disagree with, what are they?  I might agree with you.  
     

    I like autonomous churches. Christ Is the head of His church.  Not denominations or conventions.
