Didn’t say Christians should be upset. I said we lost credibility when Trump made the claim that he, someone who cheated on his wife with porn stars and playmates and said he can kill someone and grab someone else by their genitals and admitted he had never asked God for forgiveness, win because of the Christian vote. Why would these secular companies such as Hallmark listen to us? 30 minutes ago, ayin jade said: But bishops are not pushing for acceptance of sexual crimes. The gays are demanding we accept their lifestyle. Big difference. You are WRONG! Read the introduction to the grand jury report and Part Three of the report.

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say this ... well here goes ... the word is Boycott. I think even a 1 year boycott of Hallmark cards because they sided with the LBTQ (a minority group) against us Christians (majority group) would be sufficient to make them realize the LBTQ's may cry the loudest but the sheer number of Christians and our money means they should have sided with us. Let me make clear that this issue concerned only 1 TV ad that was being shown on a small area. However, in that area there are a group of Christian mothers who asked Hallmark to take it off. They should have sided with us. We have more buying power than the LBTQ people because we outnumber them. I don't expect this to eliminate gay TV ads, I'm not so foolish. I'm not sure which part of the country (or which network) carried this ad, I saw this story on the 700 Club. The ad wasn't vulgar nor risque but if I had small children I wouldn't want them seeing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say this ... well here goes ... the word is Boycott. Ah. I see. The only problem is this; How is the Hallmark corporation going to notice sales dips unless it's publically been made known by the Christian community we're boycotting? Unless the nation joins in a outward protest, they won't even notice some aren't purchasing their cards anymore. A nationwide boycott is publicity.

And this is exactly why I said we need a few people to write to them but then the most effective way to send a message is through their wallets.

I was curious when you last worked retail. Things in my area changed drastically. I was merely engaging in a conversation. But since it upset you, I will refrain from addressing you in the future. I'm sorry. My computed died and I had to reply to you from my phone and I was a bit upset. I am now using my daughter's computer for the time being. Anyway. Perhaps much of this depends on where you live. I am from a small town in the midwest. Our high school graduation holds prayer. The school Christmas program sing songs such as Holy Night and Silent Night and end it by singing We Wish You A Merry Christmas. But I understand if things are different where you live. So maybe you do feel under attack. I will respect how you feel and leave it at that. On a personal note. To me. Happy Holidays I always felt included Christmas,Hanukkah, and New Years. Since they all seem to fall so close to each other. I never consider saying Happy Holidays as an attack on Christmas or Christians. People here say whatever they want. So maybe that is why I don't see it has any issue. But as I said. I understand if you feel different bass on where you live and your own personal experience.

I told him I did not believe that as others who are not gay can be promiscuous, too .. I told him their being married allowed for them to have sexual relations now as no Christians are not to engage in sex outside of marriage .. and I said but the only sex gay men can have is sodomy and that is an abomination to God .. and that God made man and woman and in marriage it is to be between a man and a woman, not two men or two women .. he could not justify why and kept laughing nervously .. finally, I said, I know why you are doing it and he asked me why and I said it was to attract homosexuals to the Anglican church and they would come where they were welcome and allowed to be married and the church would get their money .. he did not deny this .. there are things Christians should not be okay with as such goes against God and His Word .. yes, love all people, homosexuals included, as God loves them .. but do not encourage them to be married, get married, or engage in sodomy within or without marriage as sodomy is not acceptable to God .. if they choose to do so, anyway, that is on their heads and between them and God but we need to stand up and be counted and voice our objection and they can do with that as they will .. I do think Christian churches can allow them to come to church services to worship and praise God Who is their Father, too, but it must be made clear in doing so, that the Church is not accepting their practising sodomy within or without marriage as that is against God's Will .. we must not be seen or perceived to be politically correct, tolerant, or willing to live and let live or accept everything goes when such go against God and His Word and Will .. we must go with God, not with those who go against God in any way .. as far as judging them goes, we are to judge sinful actions and speech by the brethren .. God will judge what their eternal outcome will be and God will judge all who are not Christians .. but all must be done in love and must love the persons but hate what they do/say and that would apply to any and all Christians and non-Christians in any and all things .. the persons are loved by God so must be loved by us but God hates all sin and so must we .. we must help others overcome sin and we must overcome our own sinfulness with God's help and grace and with the help of others who are doing God's Will according to His Holy Spirit inspired Truth Are you saying that lesbian same sex marriages are ok since sodomy is not there?
