Rights

[Guest BacKaran]

Re, I agree.

All I did was make a comment on Facebook regarding a homosexual "marriage" photo of my homosexual nieces friend.

Her parents were walking the partner down the aisle and everyone could see they were not happy. I said the gal had a nice smile but her folks looked like they were going to a funeral.

BOOM!!! My son curtly emails me from Chicago that I'm no longer the mom he used to know, I'm now homophobic, xenophobic, arrogant, Jesus freak and intolerant blah blah blah.

He disowned me and I said well, I'm to tolerate your opinion but you can't tolerate mine?

Nuff said but my life has less drama in it now, jest sayin....

But there were no rights being infringed upon.  You exercised your rights by posting on Facebook your views and your son exercised his rights with his actions.  Exercising a right does not mean it will be free of consequence.

It's a sad story Karan but it's what the bible said would happen. 2 Timothy 3:1-5 

 

Quote

 

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

² For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

³ Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

⁴ Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

⁵ Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

 

 

 

Later on in Matthew 10:34-40 Jesus tells us that the peace that the world is ascribing to Jesus is quite different from the one he is actually bringing.

 

Quote

 

³⁴ Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

³⁵ For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

³⁶ And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

³⁷ He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

³⁸ And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

³⁹ He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

⁴⁰ He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

 

Stay encouraged and keep praying for your son.  As long as he has life I believe the Spirit can reach him and show him that your stance on those issues come from your love for the Lord.  Maybe your purpose was to plant the seed and someone else will water it.

Absolutely I agree! I was a prodigal, hes a prodigal and I pray and trust God to send a saved soul to witnesses to him in his own words so he'll understand.?

I'm so greatful God has the patience that He does, He is awesome in His love and timing.

Amen sis.  

Sorry for hijacking your thread Out of the Shadows.  As wonderful as the govt of the US is there will always be a group who feels their rights are being infringed by someone else's rights.  It's up to the govt to determine whether or not the claim has validity.  It won't be like that in heaven though so keep encouraging people to renounce this world and we can experience that utopia sooner.

Can you explain how your right to live your life as a Christian could infringe on someone's right to be an atheist, or the right to support gay marriage or even be a drunk?

This is an antagonistic statement Out of the Shadows. You know the answer to this very silly question and I am not sure why you are even asking it. But I will stoop to your level so that I can answer this question. My life as a Christian does not infringe on what other people believe. The problem is that the atheist, the LBGTQ groups, etc are trying working to infringe they "rights" on us that do not hold to their ideals. What they want is to see the destruction of fundamentalism and the truth of the word of God so that they can live their lives believing that they are not accountable to a higher power.

Why do they not have a right to the election results?

Because they had their chance to protest at the ballot box. Since the lyin' celebs said that they would leave the USA (which they won't), that should have been the next step for those who could not abide Trump.

As long as they are not breaking the law by looting or burning things they can protest anything they like.

As a matter of fact they are burning the flag as well as other things, and disrupting traffic.

Had Obama been a true President, he would already have made several public announcements that such behavior would not be tolerated while he is in office. This is not "peaceful transition" but rioting in the streets.

In arizona, among the protests and civil disobediences, students from schools are ditching classes and marching on the state capitol with mexican flags. The schools are not discouraging their actions. Two of these schools also had students who intimidated voters to vote against arpaio but were never charged for their illegal actions.

Greetings Jaydog,

This post is coming very close to a personal attack. We would typically thread ban someone for something similar, but as you are a newer member, I will simply ask that you review our terms of service and please debate the subject, not the person.

God bless,

Steve
