Default Things Learned from LGBTQ+ Discussions

I'm taking down this starting post, because after rereading it, I decided to edit it a bit. I'll repost sometime Sunday after I consider & pray.

Default LBGTQ garbage

I'm itching to drop another bomb in support of the LGBTQ.

But ... it prolly wouldn't do any good for Bible literalists out here, who consider God to consider it an abomination.

So I won't criticize God, even if He deserves it. I'll hold it.

Perhaps some introspection and self criticism is in order.

Or perhaps you are just hard of hearing.

Now I understand why the Spirit continually asked, "he who has an ear to hear?"

Hate Hoax: Prosecutors Charge LGBT Activist with Burning Down Own Home with Pets Inside

Michigan prosecutors allege Nikki Joly, a longtime LGBT activist, set fire to her home and killed her pets due to resentment from subsiding controversy over the enactment of nondiscrimination legislation she supported.
"The Detroit News reported Monday that law enforcement charged Joly, a transgender man from Jackson, Michigan, who burned down her own home, killing five pets inside, in what was initially investigated by the FBI as an alleged hate crime in 2017. The newspaper, citing two individuals who worked alongside Joly at St. Johns United Church of Christ, where the Jackson Pride Center is based, reported that Jolly, 54, had become “frustrated the controversy over gay rights had died down with the passage of the nondiscrimination law.”

I've been thinking of posting my thoughts on the OT verses against homosexuality on this thread. What do you think?

Well . . . I suppose. I started this thread to post things we've learned about LGBTQ+, but haven't had the time or inclination to repost (as said, I didn't like the exact tone of the first thing I put on here, so I took it down).

So since we might not have to be so "sensitive" on this thread . . . let 'er rip!

I am seriously surprised at the lack of concern about the dangers of trans on Title 9 women's sports. The world has never seen a trans movement, and is sorely unprepared for the consequences. If enabled by the courts, the trans movement will destroy every historical separation between the genders.

No more girls sports. No more girls schools. No more girls clothing stores. All of these are binary sexist and must be torn down. Consider the consequences! Parents will no longer be able to protect their daughters from predators. And guaranteed we will have predatorial trans opportunists. All protected by law.

Oh my goodness Terry! My thoughts won't be liked very much. But I think I can use OT books to prove my point, for whatever that's worth.

Refresh my memory, or correct it. Is that a Jesus saying, that I don't know about? Did I miss him saying, "Love your neighbor as yourself, but only if they have Christ in them?"

Non sequitur - Serenity has Christ in her, does she not? (and of course we're to love all)

9 times did I find "love your neighbor as yourself. whether they are saved or unsaved, that is not the basis for our loving them.
