I agree. The divorce rate is a terrible testimony to others. But does one groups error stamp approval on another groups error?
Would you say there is anything in life you don't tolerate? Do you tolerate stealing, disobedience, road rage, etc.? Also, where do you get your standard for what you do and do not tolerate? Does your standard change so that possibly 100 years from now children are taught to tolerate stealing because it is just another option in life and should be treated equally with honesty? I believe the ones you call intolerant are just holding on to the constant truths. Homosexuality is violating their beliefs just like their "intolerance" is violating yours. Correct?
Thanks for outlining the 9 points. I am curious what you think of social justice in terms of forcing everybody to have insurance? Our family has not been forced out of insurance. We made a decision not to have it. We save what would be our premiums, pay cash for our medical care (which makes it much cheaper!) and have extra to help those in need. We have taken responsibility and have not added any expense to premiums or government funds. So that should be taken away?
Have you actually looked for yourself and found the contradictions that say homosexuality is wrong and then it says it is right? You may find an argument where believers should be more loving (tolerant), but you''ll be hard pressed to find where God said homosexuality gets His stamp of approval. (People stray from being consistent, but He always is.)
You tell of how You believe or feel, but ultimately it matters what God says is true. I challenge you to find what He says to be a good and honest person.
Homosexuals are in double standard here. They want religion kept at the church, but do they keep their sexual beliefs in the bedroom? If they did we would never hear about it.
No, the Bible must be lived out 24/7. And we take it so seriously because YOU (and I) are accountable to Him regardless of your beliefs or feelings.
My justification is Truth, but most people don't use that level. The USPS is not the problem. To put your energy against them is like being against realtors for selling a house to a smoker when you are against smoking. The heart of the smoker needs changed not the realtor, right?
I have received chicks in the mail this way and they were in great shape. All have lived. Think about the advantage of receiving chicks from a disease-free place. They are so much better off from the start. Every animal has a purpose and our chickens have theirs. Come to our area and see what happens to chickens that don't have a working relationship with humans. The "coons" get them. In this cursed world you'll have death, overheated chicks, and people that don't consider the life of their animals, but don't blame the USPS for trying to do their best.
