Pride, an interesting choice.

[Mama Etna]

Think it is telling that the month that celebrates debauchery should be called 'Pride'.  

What God thinks about pride.

Proverbs 11:2 - When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.

Proverbs 16:5 - Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

Galatians 6:3 - For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

Proverbs 26:12 - Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.

1 John 2:16 - For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

I am having trouble understanding how Christians are saying don't use words like what I read in Rev 22:15. But that is what is being said here.

You could also just say LGBT people and not look for abusive epithets.

There abusing children by teaching in the school it’s something to be proud of. Sin is not something to be proud of.

Some people just don't care. They only care about their own little world and are willing to let the outside world pass them by. No matter what is happening to society. Except to blame "the GOP."

I care a bunch. I see it eroding our society and causing increased divisiveness.

I think all believers should boycott pride day. There never has been anything prideful about sin. Our president just spoke in front of one of the largest Pride events on record. 

If a person wants to go get involved in sexual sin, today they can probably find an apostate church that supports it. It must really bother a few of them to know that the church had to strike large portions of the bible to make room for LGBTQ. Not. God still loves them, but He won't tolerate sin. He won't bless a confused 'couple'.

Why is all of this being shoved in our faces more and more? I think I know why. 

And who here is ready to attack me because I know it's wrong and I said so? Sorry I won't apologize for that one.

The world wants to put Christians in apologize mode tap dancing around this. " Oh I'm so sorry if I offended you." You want us to say God condones this? You can find anything if you look for it. You can get married in Vegas in a drive through, maybe even with an Elvis look alike.Yes there are churches that will accept you while you continue to practice your sin, and there are churches who will accept you while informing you that you are living in open sin. Which will they pick?

You might be surprised at how many Churches are now embracing and celebrating it.

[Starise]

I'm not surprised.

One of the significant problems in the history of the Christian church is that it so readily assumes the values of the dominant culture in which it finds itself. In the first three centuries of the Common Era, Christians were strongly counter-cultural and anti-imperial. It is no longer so.
