…I’m can only hope God has a good reason for you to stop talking

Thank you Natalie…I’m so tired of blanket fundy assertions repeated by fundy pastors, fundy parents and just plain fundies over decades without any critical thought…they’re just repeated so much they make sense, with or without Biblical consideration…

But it guarantees that no one will want to help you in return.

I agree that the Lord has my best interests at Heart. I also believe that, since His ways are so much higher than my ways, I may not always know why a tragedy occurs. In fact,, usually I will not. The older I get, the more easily I weep over the news. I am disgusted by anyone claiming to know the mind of God on tsunamis, bombing, hurricanes, etc. I lost my minister- husband while my three children were small. My eldest was diagnosed with leukemia on his nineteenth birthday. My middle child nearly died in a car wreck four years after that. And my baby girl, aged twenty, was robbed at gunpoint last night, along with her boyfriend. In this world, I WILL have tribulation. But I am told to be encouraged, for there is One Who has overcome it all. Doubtless there are fundies who have an opinion on why these things came into our lives. Their opinions are as meaningless to me as their rules and regulations. I know Whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I’ve committed unto Him against that day. This includes not only my eternal soul, but this life I now live in this flesh. He loves me, and hastold me these things somehow work together for my good. Judge on, fundies, but remember: you will be judged, then, with the same level of judgment you dole out so ponderously now.

Never said you were IFB or even Baptist. I know a fundy when I see one picking out a group to inappropriately disparage though.

I’m not going to give you a yes or no on whether homosexuality is a sin. You made a despicable moral equivalence argument with gays & child molesters. I don’t think you deserve an answer to a lame question after that kind of behavior/statement.

Problem is, pedophilia is a crime. Homosexuality is not. Pedophilia affects innocent people. Homosexuality does not. Being gay doesn’t hurt anyone else. On the contrary, people who are gay take a lot of abuse on themselves.

So, no, we as Christians, shouldn’t “stand up” against them. God Himself can take care of that Himself.

But, we as MANKIND, should defend innocent lives that are hurt.

I am not an IFB. I am simply a conservative Baptist. Do you believe homosexuality is a sin as the Bible says?

Gays & child molesters are equally reprehensible, huh? It’s a wonder that no one trusts fundies moral compass since it’s completely lacking…

They are both equally important topics, Natalie. All sexual perversion is wrong and sinful. Nowadays the pedophiles and child molesters are arguing for recognition and “equal rights” just like the homosexuals did. And now there are people in the American Psycological Association trying to abolish age consent laws and gain official recognition for pedophiles and have pedophilia removed from the list of mental disorders just like homosexuality was. We as Christians must stand against pedophilia and homosexuality equally.
