'Jesus had two dads and he turned out just fine' - church sign attacking homophobia goes viral

 

Pro-gay signboard photo has attracted over one million online views

 

A church in Canada has found a novel way to spread its message of tolerance towards gay people and the results have gone viral

 

A sign outside St. John's Anglican Church displaying the words, “Jesus had two dads and he turned out just fine!” has been viewed over 1,000,000 times after a user of the social entertainment site Reddit posted a photo of the sign online, the Huffington Post reports.

 

The church's location has been reported by US news site The Blaze as Niagara Falls, Ontario. The wife of Reverend Duncan Lyon, a member of the St John's clergy, confirmed that the message was in front of their church.

 

The message appears to be taking a lead from the Gosford Anglican Church in Australia, which posted a similar message a few weeks ago.

 

Father Rod Bower, a priest and outspoken supporter of Gay rights displayed a message to  parishioners and passersby which read, “Dear Christians, some people are gay. Get over it. Love, God,” according to current affairs site Salon.com.

 

Jesus also has a Mother. The highest acclaimed person, a woman, outside

of Jesus the Father ever has or ever will create.

Speaking in general, as a Christian, I would say by way of THE OT yes.

I also think all sin can be carried to a higher degree. Heterosexual sins of

the flesh can at times be worse than common homosexual acts.

A reprobate liar is as wrong as two guys in a rather bland performance.

  

Hi Chick,

 

There is no doubt that the Bible, both Old Testament and New Testament, clearly declare the homosexual lifestyle to be wrong.  But, does God hate the homosexual?  No.  God hates no one; but, from the Bible, He does hate the lifestyle -- and anyone who chooses to actively live that lifestyle, or any sin lifestyle, is not a Christian believer.  For a person cannot purposely choose to live against God -- and still be for God.

 

Churches such at this Anglican church and others which accept the homosexual lifestyle as normal -- are putting their desire to do "good works" above the teachings of the Word of God.  They are, indeed, choosing man over God.

 

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

How can a divorced man who lives an adulterous life, and causes two wives to live adulterous lives, be a Christian?

 

None would admit to it, but I wonder how many men who claim homosexuality is not "normal or goes against nature", pops that little blue pill in their mouth so they and wifey, or some other sweet thang, can indulge? Isn't that going against nature? Maybe the thought of them, with their old wrinkled bodies, "doing the nasty" is offensive to others. How about ugly people? Fat/obese people? Little people? Old men and young women, old "cougars" and young men? Isn't the idea of them "mating" offensive to some? What about the people who don't like people of different races having sex? Do they have the right to be offended and speak out against it? And would any of the men be up front enough to tell us why it seems to only be the gay men that really upsets you. I could be way off on this, but it seems to me that the homosexuals being murdered, bullied, and harassed the most are the men.

Can a Christian have it both ways? Is it Ok for a Christian to say "The Jesus I believe in says it's wrong" but as long as they're adults & want it, it's OK? Seems to be a cop out to me. Wonder how Jesus will see it the day that "Christian" stands before Him that had that attitude?

If any man, Christian or none, comes on this forum & says that it really upsets him to think of two women having sex together, he is a liar!! Two women together is a turn on for a man unless he prefers sex with another man.

 

It's usually men that commit these crimes & that's why you won't see a gay woman being murdered, bullied, and/or harassed because men love the idea of two woman together. Something they would love to watch.

 

Any Christian that believes a man having sex with a man or woman with a woman is ok then they need to read/study Leviticus 20:13. Doesn't make any difference what I believe, (Honestly? I think it's wrong & sickening) because I'm not a Christian.

If there's anyone that doesn't know what a man does to a man & a woman to a woman, when having sex, PM me, I'll explain it to you.....in detail.

 

I have never & will never mistreat anyone just because they're gay but I do have thoughts on it just as anyone else does. May not be your thoughts on it but they are mine.

Look at our own forum member that came out of the closet on here a few weeks ago. Some of you believe him to be a Christian, as he loudly shouts to anyone. He is doing the very same thing that he proclaims to hate, but then, that's ok because he's a "Christian".

Hogwash!!!

In the past, government used religion as a reason to imprison and kill such persons. I'll stand before the throne of judgment knowing I did not cause such to happen to any one for such reasons.  I do not approve of their beliefs, but will never advocate using the power of the state to harm them.

My question wasn't intended for the government.

 

When was it that the government killed homosexuals for being homosexuals? Was it the US government? And they put them in prison just because they were  homosexuals?

Prior to 1962, sodomy was a felony in every state in the union. 

 

As I've stated,  I usually do not associate with gays, but will work with them on a professional basis.  Progressives attack me as a bigot, because I've stated the gay movement supported NAMBLA.  I've read articles in The New Republic that once supported that view.  The gay pride parades passed my office in Atlanta, and I saw their signs in the parade.  So, please do not tell me that such was not protected, if not approved.

Thank you, I've learned a couple of things today.

 

Never heard of NAMBLA so I looked it up. I'm not sure what I'm not supposed to tell you wasn't protected so I won't.

===============

Your wording is a bit off. I'm not sure what "pro-gay" would be exactly, could you mean people that support their right to marry and such? It would be interesting to see the articles where they agree with nambla. Did you mean some agree, or all agree? That's a bit like saying all straight men agree with nambla, since it's pretty obvious some do. All sorts of people parade with gays, even straight people.

Hi Jennifer,

 

I agree with you completely -- with the disclaimer that for violence and harm I would draw the line.

 

However, when the gay community takes it out of their bedrooms and into the streets, schools, and governing bodies of our nation -- that is a call to battle, albeit civil, legal, and voting battle.

 

I would never flaunt in public what I do in the privacy of my bedroom.  And, I find it very distasteful, and most often, disgusting, when the gays do it in public.  I find their gay parades disgusting.

 

And, when the gay activists take their aberrant lifestyle into our public schools, starting in Kindergarten -- that is a major call to battle.  And, as you have noticed, I am a vocal opponent of such Liberal indoctrination in our schools.

 

Personally, I believe that Mr. Obama is a disgrace for using the office of the President of the United States to push his gay pride on America and on 3rd world countries.  I believe Mr. Obama is a disgrace for his attempts to instigate racial tension in America through his office of President.

 

All that said, I do agree that no one should have their homes and bedrooms controlled by governing bodies and laws -- as long as no harm is coming to anyone.

 

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

 

Bill
