say whatever, there is no law in effect here that protects gays. the owner of the park or the groundskeeper can kick their ass out. period!
Very sad, imho.
And if you follow things, then you know, you can be kicked out of more than just a park in Richmond, for being gay.
The place you live.
The place you work.

Guess it's safe to assume Preacher Man and Agree are not able to produce their guaranteed ticket to heaven. Was so hoping to see that and a bit disappointed they are not willing to share how they got it!

Let's start with a pop quiz: What does it mean to judge?
You don't have to answer that right now; that's what we're going to look at in this study.
Have you ever sought to confront wrong-doing, or reprove someone, only to be met with, "You can't judge me!" or "Christians aren't supposed to judge!" What does God's Word say about judging?
When the subject of judging comes up among believers, the first place most Christians go to is Matthew 7:1.
Matthew 7:1.
Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Most people will stop right there, and conclude, "Jesus said don't judge." But we've got to read on to see this in context, so that we can determine what he was really saying.
Matthew 7:2.
For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with the measure which ye measure with, it shall be measured to you again.
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thy own eye?
Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thy eye; and, behold, a beam [is] in thy own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thy own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
Now it becomes clear. Jesus wasn't saying, "Don't judge." He was saying, "Don't judge your brother without first judging yourself." His exhortation was to remove the plank or beam from your own eye first, so that you can see clearly to remove the speck of sawdust from your brother's eye.
Part of the problem we have with judging is that when people say "judge" they usually mean or imply "condemn." But judging means much more than that.
"To judge" means "to make a distinction" or "to separate." You judge every day, in every aspect of life. You had to make a judgment in order to decide what clothes to wear today, or what to eat. You are also responsible for judging between truth and error.
When we look at scripture on judging, it is important that we pay attention to who is being addressed.
Romans 2:1.
Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whoever thou art that judgest: for in that thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
At first glance, this verse seems to forbid judging, and to warn that when you judge someone else, you are condemning yourself. But who is it talking to? Those who judge others for doing the same things they are doing. If you fall into that category, then you are indeed condemning yourself when you judge someone else! But this is not a blanket prohibition against judging.
What God wants is not for us to avoid judging, but instead to judge rightly

So you see, as Christians WE ARE TO JUDGE. GOD SAID SO.

So the truth is HOMOSEXUALITY is an ABOMINATION before the Lord. The BIBLE says HOMSEXUALS are going to hell. I didn't say it, God's word said it.

<quoted text>True! Sad part is, that there will be another posting that says, "Thou Shalt Not Judge". You can't make the blind see, when they refuse to. I think God called that "reprobate".

Everyone has to make judgements every day of their lives. You're just not allowed to do it, when speaking to a gay or liberal.

<quoted text>I understand what you are saying but aren't we supposed to love our brother? I've always believed that it's ok to say I don't approve of what you are doing but as a child of God I still love you. alot of things confuse me when it comes to this matter. I do know one thing for sure there is alot of hate coming from Christain people's mouth and I don't feel like that is how a child of God should be acting .

<quoted text>So you're saying that any land, property or business owner should have no say over what they own? As long as you're gay, you can trash, not pay rent or destroy and/or not work for any person who signs your pay check?

Exactly , I don't hate homosexuals. Your not suppose to hate anyone. But I don't want my children to see that. It is unnatural. I mean come on . It takes a man and a woman to go forth and multiply the world like the bible says. The love of a man and woman is a natural affection. It was Adam and eve!! A man and a woman. It is unnatural to have relations with the same sex. That's what I believe. They want us to respect their choice to be that way. Well respect the ones that don't want to look at you in the park making out....

Here it is in the word of God.
King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.)
1 John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that YE MAY KNOW that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
That is how I KNOW that I have eternal life.
All of us are going to live forever, some in heaven with Christ, and some in an eternal hell, where there is gnashing of teeth and the worm dieth not.
Nobody wants that for you. I hope that you find a good bible based church with a preacher that isn't afraid to preach the word and against sin.

Well, you start with an invalid assumption that people are "born" that way. Homosexuality is a choice. It's called sin. All men have fallen short of the glory of God. So the question is can the repentant sinner turn from his/her sin. Yes, they can.

true it was Adam and Eve and then Eve and her son... So incest is ok but not homosexuality...
Making out? The story said nothing about making out.
A lesbian couple and a photographer say they were asked to leave a park in Richmond after the couple kissed.
Cheri Chenault and her partner, Destiny Keith, were having maternity photos taken by photographer Jessica Miller-Poole when a gatekeeper told them they had to leave due to inappropriate behavior.( the couple kissed) it didn't saying they were making out

Most not all but most homosexuals went to church as children. I did and for years was so confused on the teachings I was hearing and not understanding the feeling I was having and growing up in a small town and not seeing openly gay people around me. It took a long time for me to ok with my feelings. With that said if I was not born this way why would anyone choose this path knowing that it is a hard path to go and isolate themselves from family and God? I have a relationship with God and I truly believe in my heart that God loves me even though I love another woman and spend my life with her
