I do not know of any Christians who wear tassels and phylacteries. :p
But they might as well for all they believe.
Mind you, its encouraging in this Lutheran section, lots of valuable posts for me a far as I am concerned

We eat shrimp because Jesus NT teaching says all food is clean. (Mark 7, Romans 12, Acts 10-11) etc. You know in Romans 14 where the fullfilment of the law is explained. Same with what one wears. Apart from that there is the creation purpose of man and woman in faithful union. So yes we do.

Look to the Bible and still support sinful same sex perversion do you? Shame on you.

I enjoy shrimp but buttered seared scallops even more. 😋

When posters start to insult, and attempt to derail the discussion, it is 100% clear that they have nothing positive to say, and totally bereft of a cogent comment.

Please notice how the post proves Alexander Pope correct. From the content of the post that the poster is presently at the "embrace" stage of accepting LGBT (etc) perversions

Yes I thought your select snippet was on point. I did a search and found a few formats available for free through the play store books.

Make mine Scampi, heavy on the garlic!
I was working at a home of man who obviously was a culinary master and he and his wife invited me for dinner as I had worked late that evening. There is a joke embedded here as well. I said let me make a phone call. I asked my roommate what he had in mind for dinner, he said we would run up to the station and grab some chili dogs for dinner because they were were on special all week. I then said I was sorry but I was going to work late 😁. The homeowner prepared what he said was an southeast coast shrimp and grits. I said I was raised with a preference to cream of wheat and for me grits were lacking flavor for being watery. He said he thought I wouldn't think the same way about grits after I tried these. He was right. He started with the most creamy white cheddar grits and topped them with the most perfectly cooked buttery, garlicky shrimp grilled and glazed with a fond made of a traditional mirepoix of celery, onions, carrots with the addition of garlic, additional herbs and seasoning. His serving sizes were very generous. I'm over 6'1" about 245# this man was 6'6" and in the neighborhood of twice my weight. The man love to cook was seemingly runner up to his love of eating what he cooked 😋. He also served a home grown vinaigrette microgreen salad completely with fresh garlic chives and a variety of heirloom tomatoes. To top it off, besides the obvious wonderfully delicious meal and associated company there were varieties wine to be enjoyed during and after the meal. It ranks as high or higher than any other meal I've ever had. Which is saying something my mom and grandmother especially were great cooks. Meanwhile back at the house my roommate celebrated with a 'bogo' on gas station chili dogs 😅. Thanks for the prompting down memory lane. Anyone hungry?😛

This is interesting...you know, people who hold to the idea that gay marriages are fine and so is gay behavior want us to be tolerant of their beliefs...but many of these same people are highly intolerant of OUR beliefs that homosexual behavior is a sin. Talk about double-standards!


Funny.... those SCREAMING about "tolerance"and "diversity" are often the worst offenders of their own mantra.

But the lesson I take from this is the danger of Church and State bedding up together. Somehow, the church always looses in the deal (hey, politics is the "art of power" and politicians are always a LOT better at this). When will we learn?

The homosexual movement is greedy. Give them an inch and they will take a whole mile - make that three miles.

yes indeed. The first people in the UK to actually want Christians prosecured and parts of the Bible banned, are supposed Christians in the church. One of them is in the Church of England. I was recently listening to a same sex attractrated believer in in the Church of England state how hostile it was for him.

Oppression of Christians in the coming years may not come from atheists. It may come from LGBT folks.

How true. However we are currently seeing oppression of LGB by LGBT, ie trans ideology against lesbian and gay, ie in the UK, Stonewall against the LGB Alliance.
In the communion issue with US President Biden, where can he go to freely receive communion in a RC church, an lgbt affirming one.

And its coming quickly, there is debate whether the 'transwoman' Olympic athlete has an unfair advantage, not that he is competing in a woman's event. It is a nonsense.

What worries me if the Equality Act is passed and ratified, there may no longer be any male/female designated restrooms and lockers. Can one imagine teen-aged boys and girls using the same restrooms and locker rooms, after PE class in school? OR girls and boys competing against each other in sports? IF this would happen with the passage of that law, it is mind-boggling what the consequences could be. A man who identifies himself as male, can pretend otherwise, and assault a girl in a restroom or locker room.

It is just...awful to contemplate. I think whatever one has between one's legs, regardless of what one thinks mentally, should determine which restroom/locker room a person should use.

LGBTQ people have the right to live and work without being persecuted or harassed because of their sexual identity and treated with dignity. But why should a tiny percentage of humanity in this country be the ones controlling something like this?

One doesnt need to qualify lgbt people. There is no concept of lgbt in God's Biblical testimony, nor can there be because God's image is a man and a woman; so Christians are to treat all men and women with respect.
You know, as far as the world is concerned, if its not man and woman, male and female or boy and girl then its not lgbt people. Its about time we stood with the truth and reality

The 'transwomen' are going to erase women from sports. One of the said goals of transgenders is to replace women with themselves.
