US conservative group: Glee’s ‘World’s Gayest High School’ an ‘insult’ to President McKinley →
A conservative research group in the US has called television show Glee’s William McKinley High School an “insult” to the former US president it is named after, as it is “The World’s Gayest High School”.Surprising analysis of Glee last chapter.
“He goes on to claim that, in one scene, the character Rachel is “intimidated”, by two gay men, and in another, characters Blaine and Kurt “more-than-subtly flirt” with each other, when Blaine says “you look cute today”.
Collins continues: “And finally, in the most overt display of all, Blaine asks Kurt’s father for his son’s hand in marriage. His father is all in favor of the institution, those who support gay marriage are on the right side of history, he says.
“
Personally I don’t see it…..
The repentant homosexual must be met with forgiveness. Even hypocritical homosexuals must be treated individually with compassion. But the collective behavior of the hypocrites of homosexuality must be met with our most forceful arguments and our complete intolerance of their lies.

We must always remember that the world may not love us, the church may not love us. But God always loves us. His love is unconditional. We need to grasp onto that truth if we are to keep hold of our faith.

‘… My choice withdrew you from the world, therefore the world hates you.’ – John 15:19
Persecution is part of the Christian walk. Every believer in Christ Jesus is persecuted. Many times we are persecuted not by those outside the fold but by sheep within the fold of Christ. Jesus says that it…
From 10am to 10pm this blog will remain silent in remembrance of our LGBTQ brothers and sisters who have been silenced by bullies, suicide, bigotry and murder. Let us stand together against hate.
My “Jesus Flips his s***t” post just got 130 notes I…I can’t…wow. Nothing I have written has ever had that many notes. Thank you.
I give you Exhibit A:
Jesus was fully human. He had human emotions and in this instance I like to call this incident not the “cleansing of the temple” but “Jesus flips his s***t”.
There is nothing wrong with righteous anger, if there is injustice or greed or cruelty (especially in the name of God) we should get angry. We should shout, we should scream, we should protest. We should not keep quiet and accept evil in our Fathers house. Jesus didn’t. And He is with is us when we cry “NO MORE!!”.
Do they know what it’s like?
I remember a song I used to sing at primary school (which was church run), it was one my favorites:
“Jesus love is very wonderful, Jesus love is very wonderful, Jesus love is very wonderful, oh wonderful love, SO high you can’t get over it, SO low you can’t get under it, SO wide you can’t get round it, oh wonderful love”
Does the church know what it’s like when you realise at fifteen that, that song was a lie? That they lied to me. They didn’t tell me that love was conditional. They didn’t tell me that love that Jesus gave on the cross only counted if I didn’t wake up sweaty and gasping from dreams about girls that I knew would horrify my mother, didn’t count every time I got butterflies when I saw that girl in school.

You know all those wonderful Conservative parents who proceed to abandon, kick out, or cut off their children for any reason (including, but not limited to a child’s sexuality)?
Well here we go:“But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.”
1 Timothy 5:8 (NKJV)
The Bethel Confession →
The Bethel Confession was authored by Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Hermann Sasse, and others during August 1933, in order to oppose the false teachings that were flooding the German protestant church after the victory of the German Christians at the church election of July, 1933.
