LOVE WINS, BUT THE REACTION IS NOT A HAPPY ONE
by Leora Jackson

Since the Historical Ruling on June 26, 2015, social media has blown up with many views and criticisms. I have taken the time to look through some of these comments and post them here.

Divine judgment by God was then passed upon Sodom and Gomorrah and two neighboring cities, which were completely consumed by fire and brimstone. Neighboring Zoar (Bela) was the only city to be spared. In Abrahamic religions, Sodom and Gomorrah have become synonymous with impenitent sin, and their fall with a proverbial manifestation of divine retribution.[5][6][Jude 1:7] Sodom and Gomorrah have been used as metaphors for vice and homosexuality viewed as a deviation. The story has therefore given rise to words in several languages, including the English word sodomy, used in sodomy laws to describe a sexual "crime against nature" consisting of anal or oral sex, either homosexual or heterosexual, or sexual activity between a person and a non-human animal (bestiality).[7] Some Islamic societies incorporate punishments associated with Sodom and Gomorrah into sharia

Anonymous: Let's stay focused people. Why are people so concerned with who you love. Don't use the bible to Beat up on people. You so concerned about who sleeping with who. In my experience you only fight against something that hard because you connect to it. Why you arguing? When did Jesus argue? Even going to death being accused he answered THOU SAITH. I careless who you love. These anti LGBT PEOPLE ARE FUNNY TO ME. When you go through drive threw do you say, ha before you make my food are you gay. When you call 911 do you say ha before you stop that robber are you gay. Ha Dr. Before you do my surgery who did you sleep with last night. If you have a problem with gays don't pick and choose when you have a problem with them. Just my thoughts

This truly has been 24 hours of UNFRIENDING people! It is good that people are expressing their true feelings regarding the ruling on yesterday by the Supreme Court. But to go and say that the President is unChristian, the USA is going to hell and all the couples are an abomination is wayyyy beyond what should be said. The problem I had with some of what happened yesterday is that while everybody feels it is a human right, no one has cleared up the fact that the RELIGIOUS PEOPLE still think that same gender love is against God - WHEN IT IS NOT!! It is NOT an abomination! Get an understanding of what was being discussed and WHO that scripture (Genesis) was directed towards before declaring that gays are hell bound! God has NOT turned same gender loving Christians over to a reprobate mind! Get an understanding of what was being discussed and what was going on during that time that was being addressed! NONE of that applies to loving couples on today! It is time that SOMEBODY made it clear that same gender loving couples who have genuine love, and are NOT prostitutes and sex slaves, are loved by God and blessed by God. I need people to stop just going along to get along while putting people in hell in the backs of their minds. More gay folks will probably be in heaven than heterosexuals if hate doesn't leave your hearts, judgment doesn't leave your spirits, and lying doesn't leave your tongues! Same gender loving persons have a right to be in the church and serve in the church. Now if we want to talk about error and sin in the pulpit and pew, we can do that. Let's start with the men who pastor while also ..

The White House was lit up like this Friday night in honor of the Supreme Court's decision to allow same-sex couples to marry nationwide

There is nothing beautiful about this lie and the profaning of the colors of God's rainbow!!! And, if you can't stomach God's truth...unfriend me and block yourself but I will not be a party to all these lies and not speak out. God will NOT hold me accountable for keeping silent when silence itself is a form of approval!

Kim Morrow And Y'all can stop with the Love business...LOve has nothing to do with right or wrong. I LOVE my children but when they are wrong and disobedient, they still have to be chastised and corrected. God's love doesn't give us free reign to live outside his will and HIs word. Jesus said, since you want to go there...If you love me...you will keep my commandments.

Here's my thoughts... The judgement given today although it tried cannot change what God ordained. Those who are for it have summed their feelings up in a hashtag ‪#‎LoveWins‬ sorry to say but that's not love its LUST! Our response as a church will determine truly if #LoveWins. Love doesn't accept wrong nor does it condemn. Love shows you the error of your ways and give you the opportunity to change. That is the Gospel. Jesus Christ came to show us our sin and then provided a way for us to change eternally! And NO I'm not perfect and need Jesus daily!‪#‎ProfessaSpeaks‬

Anonymous: Any person who chooses to debate Gods Word based on their personal wants, versus conforming their personal wants to Gods Word, is in the Creators Own determination a fool, a double-minded soul, and theologically as lost as the unbeliever. It is His way, or your way, God does not respect your compromise.....Lord sanctify..

Whew!! You people with all these different feelings, mixed emotions and anger about yesterday's ruling! The courts can decide whatever they want. The bible is clear and it still stands. God is still the ultimate judge. We have separation of church and state. So the ruling doesnt surprise me. But just because the supreme court ruled it, doesn't mean God approves it. My minister said it best when he said "most people say they believe IN God, but do they really BELIEVE Him? Most folks don't wanna talk about the God of vengeance and justice, only the God of grace and mercy." But He has two sides too..

To my Christian friends if same sex marriage offends you, do this read John 8 3:8!!! Jesus is beyond reproach, meaning He is the only one who would or could ever be sinless!!! Yet He showed only compassion and love!!! Not accepting sinful behavior, but always accepting and protecting the person who sinned!!! Perhaps if we showed more compassion and love toward sinners, we would have more power and influence for good and appear less like hypocritical Pharisees!!! It's His kindness that leads us to repentance Romans 2:4!!! I remember all to distinctly growing up surrounded by this Pharisee driven behavior!!! The results are devastating and a huge turn off for non believers and struggling Christians!!!‪#‎loveliftedme‬!!!

Homosexuality and pedophilia are not synonymous. To assume that those with same sex desires also desire children is insulting and ignorant. Furthermore, if this nation ever passed laws to allow adults to prey on children then that should not be blamed on homosexuality but parents. Finally, it's okay to be upset by the SCOTUS decision but please don't use that as an excuse to blame every sin and social ill on homosexuals. We had sin and social ills way before they could marry.

The thing I love about homosexuals or people who support homosexuals is that they point to all other sins to justify a lifestyle choice.

A man may steal but that's not his lifestyle choice.

A man may make a mistake and sleep with his neighbors wife bu that's not a lifestyle choice.

A man in a fit of rage may kill someone but that's not a lifestyle choice.

If I sin and repent and make every effort not to commit that sin again is one thing but to openly sin and not make any attempt at repentance for the sin. Is sad. It's called an abomination for a reason. And death was called for so it wouldn't spread

Leora Jackson Sir, if your son or daughter were to say..."Dad, I'm Gay!" What's your first reaction?
Anonymous: If it's my son. I'm going to probably cry. Then I'm going to try and get him some help. I probably will get myself some help. Remove all guns an knives from my home so I don't kill myself.

If it's my daughter. Try to get her some help
