Pride Month celebrates sin

Re: Pride Month celebrates sin

I can remember when June was a wonderful month, spring, green grass and optimism. Now it's a month of sin and pessimism for the souls of human kind.

I had hoped that during President Trump's first term he would stop all those "pride" celebrations. Now, with the talk he will be returning to the Presidency in August we can be optimistic again he will make June the Make America Great Again month instead of 30 days of sin.

James 2:10 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: but if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. For

whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty. For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

God knew what would happen if people started making up ideas for themselves. He provided commandments to follow so those ideas would not become established. The idea of pride month is to respect other persons' lifestyle choices. Perhaps they claim they're "not" choices because they were born that way. A man who remained single, hung out in singles bars and was pounced on by a different single woman every night used to called a gay bachelor. Mostly I'd assume he wouldn't be called anything, Bob or Fred or whatever, and although he might have been proud of his latest floozy (among his friends to whom he was showing her off) as may she of hers (showing him off to her fellow floozies at a cocktail party for like-minded souls) such carrying on was not an identity issue. Nobody cared.

God cared of course, and when such dissipated wretches were talking to clergymen (for example) they didn't get all offended and insist on being acknowledged as "polyamorous" and respected for the way they lived. Some people are very rich and have high status occupations. Does that mean they should be respected when they prance down the high street done up in gold-sequinned bikini bottoms & PVC body harnesses gyrating wildly? After all, they can afford it and were just "born" that way; what does The Bible say?

James 2:9 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:

but if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.

For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty. For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

God knows about all the other categories—hundreds at the last count and when "intersectionality" is applied (for example a gay who is also polyamorous) that number increases factorially—and has detailed the correct punishments. The Bible explains that these are not things we could come up with by ourselves, indeed the offences wouldn't be known if He hadn't told us. "Respect" is a case in point: simply respecting such persons, as the pride month encourages us to do, is in itself a transgression. And any single transgression, any offence against just one point, is not equivalent to breaking all the other commandments, it's the same as breaking them. That's what guilty means. Remember all those pagans, no doubt having pagan marriages and raising pagan families whom they loved and cared for, or maybe living as single pagan men and women going to pagan singles bars or (if polyamorous) going to pagan orgies? They respected one another presumably but what was the outcome? Let's say by coincidence they'd kept the whole law except for the bit about idols. What did God do? Not one was spared. That's how terrible it is when people make up stuff for themselves.

James 2:13 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: but if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty. For

he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

God knows the difference between mercy and justice. Are we to judge Him on the basis of our own assessment? Are we to say that when He commanded all those pagans to be slaughtered—their nervous young men and women stepping out together for the first time hoping to make a good impression, their children laughing and jumping around and singing silly songs just because they were funny, their babies learning how to put their first words together and their newborns and the mothers and grandmothers and all their best recipes—no mercy was shown. That we should therefore pass judgement without mercy on God?

hardened their necks

God is always consistent.
