A Message to The K.G.B.-- AR’s Blog Police:
--KGB stands for Keep God’s Bible to yourself--
Late yesterday, I received a flurry of comments from people who demurred (to put it politely) with my use of the phrase "legalize sodomy."; This was in reply to someone who read my post and to him only. It did not appear in my POST: "Election Issues", which, I took down entirely, after I commented back to most who flung their doo doo at me. Some did so gutlessly with anonymous comments.
I removed the post and all the comments, not as an apology but rather because I don’t care to hear from people whose only weapon for discourse is to call you names and tell you how bigoted and hypocritical you are.
Now, let me spell it out for those who don’t like what I stand for or for what I said:
The Christian Cafeteria: The Ten Commandments or The Ten Suggestions
Sodomy is defined not by me. It is in the dictionary; If you don’t like that particular word, perhaps we should tear that word out of the dictionary. Then, let’s get Sodom and Gomorrah and all scriptural references to homosexuality out of the Bible. Let’s take it a step further, you can be free to take out anything you don’t agree with in Scripture and replace it with whatever your heart desires.
What I said, I will say again, I am not making the issues of gay marriage, abortion, etc. up—they are the issues and I am free to state my case, as I wish, and did so without venom or judgmental tone.
The fact is I believe Pro-Gay and Pro Abortion positions are dead wrong, according to my moral compass. You KGB, are free to follow YOUR Moral compass—and I am FREE to speak my mind.
Under the first amendment: I have the “liberty to express opinions and ideas without hindrance, and especially without fear of punishment.”
I didn't make these political issues now did I?
What the KGB told me in no uncertain terms is that “you are a bigot and hypocrite.”
I pointed these souls to the dictionary definitions and what they meant. I am neither of these—these just won’t stick.
This whole thing began with my pointing people to "election issues"; as posted on the American Family Associations web site. According to the KGB, this is not a good source to use, since (a) it is a partisan website. And (b) one KGB COP told me that AFA has a history of poor behavior--he got his facts from Wikipedia--(you and I can contribute to Wikipedia and write anything we want on Wikipedia--it doesn't necessarily have to be accurate info and no one checks it—we can even cite sources that HATE AFA.
The fact that there may be the smallest grain of truth to any allegations against an organization does not make the election issues I care about “null and void.” That’s not logical. The issues are the issues.
The issues are the same and stated and each presents the views on the candidates on these issues. Similarly on AFA or on CNN.
The AFA site, states the positions and the views of each candidate. That’s it. No promulgation of conservative positions, Christian positions.
So, KGBers, please go to the CNN or NPR web sites—all the issues appear there. I know you’ll be content with believing what your itching ears want to hear.
Much to do was made about whether the issues referred to were "major"; issues. Well to me they are. (Again, if you don't like me or what I write, or my comments to others who respond to my posts, please read something that you can agree with and that makes you happy)
That aside, I’ll leave it to all to get up to speed on the issues and “drink” from whatever source you feel is worthy—But, please don’t fling doo doo at me for what I believe.
I also want to make it CLEAR again, that the person who started this whole thing did so by responding to a comment I made to another. She picked this out from among the other comments to start this war. Maybe she had nothing better to do than waste time reading all the comments of others this particular evening.
What I said was that there is a push by homosexuals--the politically incorrect term--to push their agenda, which I referred to as an attempt to legalize—if not “sacramentalize”--sodomy. I am not going to post the meaning of the word sodomy--look it up for yourself. It is not a curse word and accurately reflects what some states like Massachusetts sanction.
Should people who support these and other positions that are not “family friendly” get elected, it will only push this country into a moral decline like we’ve never seen
God Loves sinners and paid a heavy price to redeem them--The real Jesus suffered on a bloody Cross for you and me...
Do I think God loves gay people. I do. Does he condone their lifestyle, no he doesn’t. Am I spewing hate at those who take a different position than I, no. I am simply stating my position.
A lot of time was spent on the Homosexuality rebuttal—in KGB’s posts and seemed to be the one thing that the KGB’s seemed to be most concerned about
One of the KGBers wrote that AR is not the forum for this (words I used) and that my comments were "brash"; I was castigated and in one instance told that one person would never refer business to me. Well, I didn’t ask you to read all of the comments, unless you have lots of time to waste.
No, I think someone put you up to flinging your doo doo
This whole thing would have never gotten started until you decided to attack me.
I cited scripture references to support my position. One anonymous commentor revealed his interpretation of the Gospel—patently a “New Gospel” suited to his lifestyle. Another told me about how many Christians accept the ";being gay"; as OK. As do many who think it’s OK to kill unborn babies.
According to the KGB, you are not allowed to express your point of view even in an election, because it can be hurtful to those who differ with your point of view and heaven forbid, if your world view is a Christian world view. But It's OK for KGB to hold it's point of view as TRUTH. And if you object, get ready.
Well, this has been made an issue not by me, but those who want to legislate and make right—marriage—between a man and a man and a woman and a woman. I posted my posts on politically-oriented blogs as well as Christian blogs.
Again, if you don’t care to read what I write—pass me by, please.
Abortion, I think is an even more pressing issue. Where do the candidates stand
Barack Obama recently said: “The first thing I would do when I become President would be to sign the ‘Freedom of Choice Act’.” This Law would effectively WIPE OUT all federal and all State restrictions—including the partial birth abortion ban.
In a recent Zogby Poll, those likely to vote were asked if they would support this position:
- 38.5% agreed
- 53.9% disagreed
- 51% of those polled agreed that “abortion destroys a human life and is manslaughter.”
Obama and other liberals are out-of-step on this and other issues.
The KGB wants everything their way. They want you to think their way and act their way. If I were to do that, I would first begin by calling people ";names"; who didn't agree with me. I would then use arguments which are emotional and not logical. I would find proofs for my position from the best source of information: that would be ME.
If you speak out against proposed changes in laws, legislation, appointments to the Supreme Court that will affect me and others like me--people who uphold traditional family values —they tell you that “you are entitled to believe what you believe but you are espousing a religious position”. Usually, they will claim you are “a right wing fanatic";
Be Careful what you say around the KGB--If your moral compass is the Bible, you do have the right to ";believe what you wish,"; but you are not allowed to speak it.
The KGB has its own theology. It comes from them, not the God of the Bible.
There are liberal Christians who fall into the KGB camp. They call you intolerant. They tell you that there are “many Christians who accept” the liberal point of view on abortion, and same sex marriage, blah, blah, blah. They also call you “judgmental.”
The Jesus who winks at sin, is a fictitious Jesus, the creation of people who cast him in their own image
Well, "christian", you can't have it both ways.
By now you know, I don't back down and won't back off and will never apologize for speaking out or speaking the truth.
I will not waste my time trying to convince people who are close minded, name callers and who are irrational and downright insulting to anyone's intelligence.
I’d rather spend my time rallying the troops to get out and vote for John McCain and Sarah Pallin (Yikes!) people who will make every effort to preserve the traditional values inherent in the American way of life—
I look forward to hearing from anyone (KGBers Inlcuded) who can engage in reasoned and polite discourse—if you want to name call or if you can't present facts to support your suppositions, please keep your comments to yourself, because I am not interested in them. I am sorry that their are hard feelings I forgive those who called me names.
I love you and bless you in The Name That is Above every other, Name, Christ Jesus, The Lord.
From the Apostle Paul’s Letter to the Church in Rome: Chapter One verses 18-32 (New Century Bible)
All People Have Done Wrong
18 God's anger is shown from heaven against all the evil and wrong things people do. By their own evil lives they hide the truth.19 God shows his anger because some knowledge of him has been made clear to them. Yes, God has shown himself to them.20 There are things about him that people cannot see—his eternal power and all the things that make him God. But since the beginning of the world those things have been easy to understand by what God has made. So people have no excuse for the bad things they do.21 They knew God, but they did not give glory to God or thank him. Their thinking became useless. Their foolish minds were filled with darkness.22 They said they were wise, but they became fools.23 They traded the glory of God who lives forever for the worship of idols made to look like earthly people, birds, animals, and snakes.
24 Because they did these things, God left them and let them go their sinful way, wanting only to do evil. As a result, they became full of sexual sin, using their bodies wrongly with each other.25 They traded the truth of God for a lie. They worshiped and served what had been created instead of the God who created those things, who should be praised forever. Amen.
26 Because people did those things, God left them and let them do the shameful things they wanted to do. Women stopped having natural sex and started having sex with other women.27 In the same way, men stopped having natural sex and began wanting each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and in their bodies they received the punishment for those wrongs.
28 People did not think it was important to have a true knowledge of God. So God left them and allowed them to have their own worthless thinking and to do things they should not do.29 They are filled with every kind of sin, evil, selfishness, and hatred. They are full of jealousy, murder, fighting, lying, and thinking the worst about each other. They gossip30 and say evil things about each other. They hate God. They are rude and conceited and brag about themselves. They invent ways of doing evil. They do not obey their parents.31 They are foolish, they do not keep their promises, and they show no kindness or mercy to others.32 They know God's law says that those who live like this should die. But they themselves not only continue to do these evil things, they applaud others who do them.
