Still waiting, where have you seen me address these things for you to accuse me of having a stance on them?
You still haven't understood that these are questions.

Answer them.

You accused me of having a stance, so why do you need me to answer any question?

Is this straight from Paula White's Trump Truth Miracle Network?

Christianity doesn't need marketing.

Your lack of seeking truth for personal earthly hedonistic desires is noted. This wonderful, loving man doesn’t deserve you hate and slander. BTW he was the pastor for Obama.

I feel you know the answer he wrote the self books purpose driven life, a best seller. Are you going to start slandering again, do you feel he is not a Godly man or doesn’t know Gods word as much as you?

Well, yes, it is your business, of course... But if we are to be discussing matters of sexuality, you can understand how people's personal lifestyles could become relevant, right.
Relevant to whom, and where do we draw the boundaries between public and private, or community control and individual freedom?

Could probably use a little fine-tuning here and there. 😉

I define my stance by the things I do say, you misrepresent me as you go off suggesting things I have never said. I never fabricate information about your stance on any topic, but I directly address the points you make when I do post about you. Why don’t you do the same? It would be a nice change of pace.

I personally do not believe that any kind of LGBTQ lifestyle should be banned or regulated by the government with the exception that I think transitioning children is wrong, but that is a debate that does not involve necessarily any kind of discussion of religion.

Lights of the World don't petition the government to eliminate rights of people they don't like.
Right, I don't do that.

What are you talking about, exactly?

Well, yhes, of course, we are all sinners...

But this is even the nature of Christianity all the time. We are mere mortals trying to walk in the footsteps of God.

I'm talking about the far right in this country doing everything they can to cancel the Constitution. Due process is going out the window, certain minorities seemingly don't have the right to live out their lives in peace, free from threats of prosecution or death, LGBTQ+ rights being eroded, all in the name of "White makes right". Even women are now second-class citizens, without the right to determine what happens to their own bodies. And the religious right is certainly 'right winged' but not exactly religious as Jesus thought of it.

It's like Rights for me, but not for thee, is their mantra.

All this is not what Jesus meant by Lights of the World.
