Stop fighting it? Stop focussing on it? Make less noise? or Be more loving? The intent seems to be the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ninhao Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 What about " All people have sinned and fall short of the glory of God get over it " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest man Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 We do not except it as Christians so I am not going to get over it. There's really nothing to accept. Gay people exist. Like I said, I didn't read the article so I'm only going by what sign says. No need to get upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest man Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 This is what it means to me. "Some people are gay and since there's nothing you can do about, you might as well get over it." Well, tag other things in there, and what do you think? "Some churches have pictures of Jesus on their walls. Get over it." Or how about, "Jesus died for everyone, get over it."

Guest ninhao Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 An ex memeber here had a signiture "Jesus is Lord get over it " ( ~ ) yes "get over it" is a bit confrontational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The intent seems to be the former. See that's just it. I was only commenting on what was written on the sign. I don't know the story behind it. But the former does make more sense.

I don't know the story behind it. But the former does make more sense. I get you. In some ways I wish we would "get over it" and be a lot more rational (as a body) about how we deal with them. On the other hand, I would not want to discourage anyone from biblical sexual morality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, I would not want to discourage anyone from biblical sexual morality. I don't think the effort should be abandoned, but I believe the tactics need to be revised. We preach to the secular world on the perils of homosexuality, while in our midst or what appears to be in our midst, we have the Westboro Baptist Church and other christian denominations that openly support the gay agenda. I realize that no true born again child of God would ever support such an agenda, but the secular world doesn't make that distinction. If we want the world to take us serious, our witness needs to be true. Some house cleaning is in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
