Happy Pride and compassion! God is Love: now go and study your Bible

Lotta religion in politics lately

You apparently missed the bit on graven images. This here looks like some class-A Antiochus putting an altar to Zeus in the Tabernacle nonsense.

How is your meme not a picture of Zeus the Cloud-gatherer? (Which is a religion, of course, but one that doesn't go with Judeo-Christian scripture).

My meme of Zeous in the clouds? Are you on drugs or drunk? Which meme are you talking about?

You posted a picture that looks like Zeus, while talking about the Bible. If you're still worshipping the Greek Gods, maybe you shouldn't be lecturing about the Bible either.

I did not, look at the name of the person who posted it once the drugs and alcohol effects wear off.

Oh, you're right. You're not posting Hardraker's nonsense, just defending it. Personally, I've always found that passage from Corinthians incredibly bland and overused. I'd take Ovid over it any day.

Was I even defending it? I do not think so. You need some serious help. Now I do agree with what he says, regardless of the picture. And my conversation with you goes into a more detailed rationalization and fully proves that you have no idea what you are talking about, where he failed. But you made this meme playing the victimhood card, but do you want to guess which group of people is the most discriminated and attacked in the planet? It is NOT the LGBTQ, it IS the Christians. Sorry for ruining your parade, and here you are being one of those people discriminating Christians with false accusations, throwing some Bible verses to make people believe you know what you are talking about. Good job Lyoll. What else could be said? I think we are done? Oh, how did you like that video I sent you?

I love how you pivot from accusing me of "playing the victimhood card" to the ridiculous assertion that Christians are the most discriminated against people on earth. Christians are the single most common religion on earth; every US president and an overwhelming majority of all of our Senators, Representatives and Governors have been Christian . . . how much power does one sect have to have to feel safe?

Proverbs 17:28
28 Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent, and discerning if they hold their tongues.

Ugh, you are still talking? You did not even bothered to do any research. You are still showing you do not know what you are talking about.

Here is a quick research about most persecuted group in the planet, with data to back it up. Heck, Christians only get two days to celebrate, Christmas and Easter, how many do LGBT get? Christians also do not go out blocking traffic to do degenerate parades, must be nice. But here it is, educate yourself:

"Yes, numerous advocacy groups, independent human rights monitors, and the Vatican officially identify Christians as the most persecuted religious group in the world. Human rights organizations report that hundreds of millions of Christians globally face high levels of discrimination or violence due to their faith.The Numbers and the ScopeGlobal Reach: Watchdog groups like Open Doors estimate that over 365 million Christians worldwide (roughly 1 in 7) suffer "high to extreme" levels of persecution.Fatalities: Organizations report that nearly 5,000 Christians are killed for faith-related reasons each year, with the vast majority of these fatalities occurring in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in Nigeria.Targeted Violence: Thousands of churches, schools, and Christian properties are routinely attacked or destroyed, alongside widespread incidents of kidnappings and forced displacement'

John 4:7-12:

7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 10 In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.

But, do you know and understand what love is?

Passionately.

Try again. Give me the definition Lyoll, you can do it!

Explain, here: you want me to define "love"? Are you not sure you understand it, or are you waiting for me to define it in some way that you will then argue against?

Ah, here I was thinking that you actually knew the Bible. Well here is the answer I was expecting from you.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
New International Version
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8(a) Love never fails.

In short, love is God.
1 John 4:8 "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love"

So Lloyll, how can you know about love if you do not know God? You are just picking Bible verses by Googling without researching the context from them.

Also, love does not mean that you have to be a door carpet and let other step all over you. Correction into righteousness is also to love someone, telling them that their life style is wrong and they need to fix it and get it right with God, as it shows you care for them. Enabling bad behavior only promotes more bad behavior and is evil. We are not attacking you, we love and care for you and your afterlife, you just want to continue living in sin, unchecked. But is your personal choice, here is the reality, what you are really afraid of https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=v1VJVYK92sQ

Proverbs 3:12The Lord disciplines those He loves.He punishes as a father does.
Galatians 6:1If someone is caught in sin.You who live by the Spirit.Restore that person gently.
Luke 17:3If your brother or sister sins.Rebuke them.If they repent, forgive them.

Why would I have to use the Bible to define love?

Because you started by quoting a Bible on a book of the Bible, which peaked my curiosity. You were trying to use ot agaist actual Bible readers as a follow up to your meme, so I had to get an understanding of how much you knew about what you were talking about. Here is a hint, you failed. But, do read my whole post, it give all the context you need, watch that video also, is good stuff.

Fortunately, you don't get to grade me. Having an appreciation for the Bible as literature (which I really, really do) and as a collection of lore doesn't mean that I take it as my guiding star.

My point is, taking the Bible as a guide to living your life and selecting out the homophobia verses as the most important is both foolish and hypocritical (unless you follow all the other outdated lifestyle advice too).

Oh but I did graded you. Sorry, you failed. It is not homophobia but it is loving you and showing you homosexuality is a bad life choice that will not only ruin your physical life but also your afterlife, we care for you and try to guide you in the path of having a relationship with Jesus. You just want to continue living your sinful self destructive life style.
