A Christian Blog and Endorsing Lesbians
If you missed it, a few Christian blogs wrote about my site this weekend. A few of them had some nice little words for me.
One of the people who wrote one of the blogs mentioned that I posted a photo of Lindsay Lohan kissing her girlfriend Samantha Ronson. (By the way, if you know which blogs I am talking about I would appreciate you not spamming them with negative comments. I actually appreciate the careful and thoughtful tone that my friends were able to share on those sites).
She said that by posting a photo of Lindsay Lohan kissing her girlfriend that I was endorsing a homosexual lifestyle.
Is the posting of a photo of two women kissing, endorsing the lifestyle?

I just wonder why they can’t do this in private, if they want to do it at all.
Shouldn’t God and Christians love all people? After all God created them, right? And God makes no mistakes, right?
you cant please everybody…
I don’t see how it is “unChristian” of you to post those photos.
Is it forbidden in the bible?
Does “God” say not to talk, think, or even be curious about homosexuality?
I dont think so. I think it is more of just a view or proof what what is going on. Nothing more or less.
But.. who’s gayer? Lindsay Lohan or Clay Aiken?
not necessarily. and who cares if you do “endorse” it. i mean – live and let live. people who judge you are just bored with their lives. it’s all good man.
No. acknowledging that it’s there, asking people their thoughts on an issue, and starting discourse about something is not endorsing it. It’s simply talking about something that exists… if we only talked about things we endorsed, well… wouldn’t that be interesting.
I don’t think so. I just think you’d do anything for views, regardless of what it says about you or your blog.
@AvenueToTheReal - Clay Aiken, hands down.
Only if you add a “Homosexuality ROCKS” banner into your blog. Then, I could see it being endorsed. Posting a picture and asking for opinions? Not a chance.
@AvenueToTheReal - good one. I’d say Clay Aiken is since you never see him with women. Lindsay at least has been with the guys. haha.
No. That’s a ridiculous assertion.
@donatethegiftofLIFE_katie84 - I agree 100%.
No, you would have to write something ‘positive’ about the photo in a caption or something for it to be like that IMO.
It may be seen as promotion or glorifying depending on your view concerning the subject. Do I believe your intention was to glorify the act? I’m sure that was not your intention.
i appreciate that you posted the picture, to help faciliate the discussion
.
No objection as long as they dun hurt anyone.
What is wrong is that people may be upset with you endorsing that lifestyle. It is even more wrong when looking at the context — you weren’t even endorsing the lifestyle, people just wanted to point out how it would be wrong if you were. That’s wrong.
PS. I find Lindsay Lohan so attractive it’s disgusting.
@VersaGratis - So are you against any kind of PDA or just homosexual PDA?
is Lindsay really a lesbian if she’s inlove with a girl that looks like a boy or is she just settling until the right man comes along? and no I don’t think you are endorsing anything, I think you just like lots of traffic on your site. =)
@Shades0f_Grey - Both. But I’m not “against” them. I just think it’s more appropriate for affection to be displayed in private – where LOTS of affection can be shown comfortably!
No! I posted a picture of Rupaul on my xanga, but that doesn’t mean I’m endorsing shemales! So keep posting what you want because you are freeeeeeee!
I don’t think you are endorsing the lifestyle. There are pictures of straight people kissing everywhere and I never hear any complaints.
That looks more like Britney than Lindsey…oh boy…
The more important question after that post you made earlier is, do you endorse poop?
The world would be a much better place if many christians would just mind their own business and stop telling everyone else how to run their lives.
@VersaGratis - Really? Because I don’t think a mere peck on the lips would make the majority of people feel uncomfortable. Most children kiss their parents that way. You shouldn’t have to go into a privet room to do something you could do with a relative.
@Shades0f_Grey - I meant displays of affection between lovers, not between family members.
Sorry I wasn’t clear about that earlier.
Wow, to me it looked like a picture of Britney Spears kissing Jonny Depp… You know it looks all Photoshopish..
No, I don’t think it was. It was just you telling the news as always, which I’m grateful for, if not I still would be living under a rock instead of halfway out.
i say no, it just a photo, if people dont like they can just skip over your site and go back to her lives. oh did i tell you im starting a G.L.B.T. RIGHTS MOVEMENT….
@VersaGratis - I can see what you mean but why do you have to died in shame what is human nature? We all love, we all hug, we all hold hands, and we all kiss. Yeah, I still feel a bit uneasy when I see a couple kissing, but I wish I didn’t because this country is too wound up to let loose on something so nice.
Heh, if it takes your endorsement to make someone change to lesbian/accepting lesbianism, then (no offense) this world is a lot worse off than I first thought.
@AvenueToTheReal - you know the answer to this… i heard he and lance bass are doing a duet of “i want it that way..” im not sure what they mean by “that way” but whatever.
I guess posting two women kissing (passionately) equates to posting pictures of aborted fetuses on a Christian website: you are making people aware of something with an image, it doesn’t really mean you have an opinion on it, and it doesn”t mean you approve of it.
Being a Christian, many people forget that they are supposed to be a representative of their religion, and when they act like choo-choos about the small stuff, they make us regular Christians look like dopes.
@VersaGratis - yes, because we all know that there is only one way or measure of affection to be displayed between lovers, there are no “little things” throughout the day, just hot sweaty sexcapades. so addy has declared, though shalt not acknowledge your loved one in public!!!
@AvenueToTheReal - LOL I love you Nori
If two idiots kissing is supposed to ‘endorse’ the lifestyle of lesbians…I think GLADD should step in and defend themselves from media-related bull.
I think what people fail to realize is that acknowledgment does not equate endorsement. We can not bury our heads in the sand and expect these things to go away. Apparently, even though I was around this weekend, I missed all of the excitement, but from what I have seen today, it seems that people are getting bent out of shape for…well…nothing.
You aren’t endorsing the lifestyle by posting a picture any more than I am endorsing vigilantism by using clips from Batman in my classroom or endorsing incest by reading Hamlet.
@XXKimPossibleXX - Is that a serious question?
@Krissy_Cole - Agreed.
Acknowledging does not equal endorsing. The problem with not even acknowledging is that we can end up living in a bubble (quite comfortably, perhaps), but a bubble nonetheless.
there is such a thing as voicing your opinion too much and imposing on others’ opinions and radiating your ideals everywhere you can. isn’t it enough that you yourself believe in and follow your ideals? people too concerned with pointing out who don’t believe in the same thing as them are uncool.
No.
It is only possible to speak of evil by referencing that very evil. Through the small pain of that horrible picture, you are cautioning us against the concenquences of having sex the wrong way.
not if you write UNNATURAL AND UNCOUTH below it as a caption
(i’m being sarcastic, just fyi)
no…..ur kinda like a “news” blog….
Noooo. So are journalists and news anchors endorsing whatever theyre reporting? Whoever told you that is an idiot. However……it could be desribed as you “reporting” and “talking” about it…..these ppl just dont want GLBT to spread and give ppl any ideas.
Maybe you should just put a disclaimer at the top of your site saying that you do not endorse everything that you post about and explain that you are just providing a place where Xangans of all faiths and beliefs can come to express their opinions and have discussions with other people.
I knew you were going to post about this when I was reading y’alls conversation on a certain blog yesterday!
It’s just a picture, geez!
Depends upon the context I suppose…
No, it isn’t an endorsement. You would be endorsing it if you said “this is how it should be!”
not really, when i see pictures like that, i automaticly have a negative reaction. and also, like loads have people have already said, if you had said something positive about homosexuality, then you would be endorsing it.
Absolutely! I think that you know how much Xanga traffic that you get on your site and it’s your responsibility to filter all photographs you post. I myself was deeply traumatized and have to go to therapy three times a week now. I’ll be sending you the bill here shortly. And no, you can’t pay for it with Xanga credits. I feel violated by seeing those pictures! Horrible and irresponsible. You Sir, are going straight to hell, where Satan’s minions will cater to you in the VIP section. But fear not, tell them Miguel sent you, and you’ll be treated better. I’l be joining you shortly.
It’s not endorsing anything,
and there’s nothing wrong with their lifestyle anyway.
I think it’s funny what a big deal Lindsay being a lesbian is,
no one even talks about all her real bad choices anymore.
But, rather, they’re paying attention that really isn’t anyones business.
I think showing a picture of two people in love sharing a kiss is beautiful. There is no “homosexual lifestyle” – there is just love and life, right?
unless i have a narrow mind
No it does not and why is she with such an ugly dyke?
It really doesn’t matter except in peoples minds.
i didn’t think of your site as endorsing it, no. you tend to post whatever’s in the news for open comment, so that’s not endorsement.
but honestly, why should anyone endorse something on their site if they are morally or ethically against it, that’s silly. it’s one thing to allow discussion on such a topic as you do, it’s another thing to turn one’s page into a virtual campaign for said issue one is morally against, which you are not doing.
I’m glad that you have the ability to maturely accept criticism.
Oh yeah, because that instantly makes me realize I like kissing the same sex.
End sarcasm.
Yes in fact just by posting that photo you’ve endorsed it so convincingly that you’ve proably turned half of us a little gayer than we were when we woke up.
no, you are only showing a pic of a famous person. You are dan and you can do what you want. Its just a picture.
no that is just nuts. you are only giving us something to have a conversation about. geez. get a life.
@sahel578 - Agreed.
And no I don’t think it’s endorsing it, however, there is nothing wrong with it. Said bloggers should STUFF IT.
I don’t think it’s that big of a deal. It’s your site, you do whatever you want with it. Those other people should just stop freaking out.
@xbveilsidedx - technically I’m pretty sure it DOES say that sleeping with members of the same sex is wrong in the Bible. Although Jesus Christ himself is never reported to have said anything on the matter.
Not by a long shot.
You’re merely just showing a picture, which just so happens to be 2 girls kissing, into her life.
I don’t think posting a photo means you’re endorsing it… if you post a photo of some starving children, would you be endorsing famine? No.
If you added the Homosexuality Rocks Banner followed by a commentary on why you should be gay and/or switch from being hetero to homo, you would be endorsing the so called “gay lifestyle”.
Could be. But whatever.
No but if you had a picture of a guy and girl kissing they wouldn’t be making such a big fuss.
People like that have too much time on their hands.
We’re better off without them.
If that’s all it takes, then apparently I endorse spiders, praying mantises, bridge collapses, mushrooms, floods, mechanical bulls, Jello, giant yard art, biker bars, and a whole lot of other things I don’t particularly care for.
And what’s wrong with endorsing that kind of lifestyle? The homosexual community doesn’t complain about all the ads and commercials endorsing the heterosexual lifestyle.
I am pretty sure RuPaul’s a drag queen and performer and not, as was noted above, a “shemale.”
Anyway, that aside, I don’t think that publishing a picture of something necessarily promotes it. Not at all.
It may be desensitizing all who see the picture which will, over time, make people more tolerant of homosexuality.
Hmm, well, I might wind up blogging in your comment box again for this one… sorry in advance.
I’m not that much younger than you are. I remember when it was Some Big Deal to show two men or two women kissing. I mean, it was a BIG DEAL. Most TV shows or movies that tried to show something like that actually ended up with a shadowy scene that cut away at the last second. Because it made so many people freak out.
Today, only those who hold the most orthodox religious beliefs consider a pic like that offensive.
The interesting thing is, I don’t really care, not anymore. It’s been a while, right? We’ve seen a few same-sex kisses in our time. What bothers me is when they show girls kissing just to get straight men all hot and bothered.
…Of course, the flip side of that would be yaoi, which I admit doesn’t bother me so much.
I don’t buy yaoi, but that’s because I would consider THAT a contradiction of my faith.
(If you google yaoi, don’t be shocked, okay? Haha.)
At any rate, showing a picture like that doesn’t endorse anything. I’m just pointing out that our parents’ generation would have considered it obscene JUST BECAUSE. You and I and many others our ages and younger simply don’t feel that way.
We have our own hang-ups. X )
(I knew I would blog here. Blah.)
For some reason, which I’ve never understood fully, we males find such pictures titillating. Alas, as a Christian, I have been trained that anything titillating must be bad. I have no idea why a picture of two girls kissing is so fascinating, but I acknowledge that it is.
I think I would feel differently if it were my wife or my daughter in the picture. I can’t explain or defend that either
I don’t want to be blind to the sinister works of the evil one or otherwise led astray. On the otherhand, I don’t want to remove a speck from someone’s eye whilst ignoring the plank in my own.
In brief…I got nothing…*shrugs*
It’s not an endorsement to acknowledge its existence.
No. Otherwise Dan you have promoted worse subjects, like the 666 matter. Does that mean you endorse the devil?
not endorsing, but by including a photo of something that christians believe is a sin, it in a way glorifies that action. i think it’s great to be contraversial and make people think, but more than anything it is important to remember WHOSE you are…and make sure your approach can glorify HIM. kwim?
i feel like i’m being cryptic. i don’t feel like being flamed right now. but, i’m trying to give you honest feedback. i am a christian, i do mind my own business, but when i’m asked my opinion or business feels like it needs to be interferred with…i attempt to do so with love, because people are so very important.
You should tell her “FUCK YOU” because there is nothing wrong with endorsing love.
By all means, I’m not against any religion as long they don’t push their negative beliefs at me. Besides, I don’t think God dropped from the sky and said “No Homo! Praise the Lord.”
Lohan is gay?
Not necessarily, and even if you were, who cares? I agree with the majority of commenters – I wish so many Christians would just stop with the judgment and hyper-focus on homosexuality.
@VersaGratis - why don’t you kiss your boyfriend only in private, if at all? seriously, seeing a girl kiss a guy is disgusting and i shouldn’t be forced to see it.
Posting images in no way endorses anything, or else the news would endorse everything.. and encyclopedias for that matter. Big deal.
Not in the context you used it in.
Plus, what’s wrong with “endorsing the homosexual lifestyle”? (I have to say, I hate when it’s called a lifestyle. I don’t have an alternative lifestyle, I have a life just like all you pretentious anti-gays out there!) You’re endorsing love.
You can do whatever you want. There’s nothing wrong with homosexuality!!!
Does it honestly matter? Everywhere I go, I get judged. Even my own parents have disowned me. Christians are supposed to love everyone, and be pure and accepting. Pardon my french, but they can take their judgments and shove them up the Alpha and Omega’s ass. They have no right to say that I’m wrong, they have no right to judge me. Y’know, I find it highly amusing how they are failing to follow the one rule ‘Jesus’ had for us all. Love thy neighbor. Love him if he is black, love him if he is white. Love him if he is male, female, gay, lesbian, bisexual. Christians are not as pure as they’d like to think. For centuries, innocent people were slaughtered, burned at the stake, and even hung simply for not having the same beliefs as the Christians had. And, here we are, in 2008, and still, they’re shoving their beliefs up my ass. It’s because of this that I have abandoned ‘God’ and ‘Jesus’. Hell, I don’t even believe God exists. Love is love, no matter the gender. Love comes in many shapes and forms. It’s unconditional, it’s pure, it’s truth. I can love whoever I want to love. And you know what? I’ll just shout to the world that I’m into both guys and girls. Nothing they say or do can change me. I am who I am, and I refuse to bend to someone else’s will. As long as I’m happy with myself, then who the hell cares what other people think?
I am sorry that they judged you Dan,I never questioned your faith or your posts.I love you and appreciate your contribution to Xanga.
i dont think it to be endorsing, you’re just posting up a photo and the people who said that are nothing but homophobic tightwads who need to get their heads out of their asses and notice that bi, lesbian and gay people are still people and shouldnt be looked down on for their sexual preference
This reminds of one of my past posts talking out how Hallmark came out with “gay” or same gender marriage cards. A lot of my commenters on that particular post said the card wouldn’t turn anyone gay and that they’re not harming anyone.
No! I don’t have pictures of men and women kissing in order to endorse the hetersexual lifestyle!
Actually, I don’t think I have any pictures of men and women kissing. But that is beside the point.
If homosexuals cannot show affection in the same way as heterosexuals without people claiming that it’s “promoting their lifestyle”, then I don’t see why it should be acceptable for heterosexuals to display their affection publicly.
These things will change eventually. They changed with interracial relationships, so I have faith that they will change for this.
@this_fever : I agree completely. I don’t particularly enjoy seeing ANYONE with their tongues down each other’s throats, but that doesn’t mean that I’m going to say that it’s more acceptable for heterosexuals than it is for homosexuals. That would be absurd.
No it isn’t.
Show me one woman who does not kiss another woman, sexually or otherwise.
This is what women do. Women are closer to each other than men.
If I remember correctly [and mind you I've only been subscribed for a month or so now] you don’t really ‘endorse’ anything. Acknowledgement is not endorsement. And there [in my opinion] is nothing wrong with a little PDA. If you don’t like it, don’t look. Boys, girls, animals, anything. Because humans are just animals aren’t we? And cows and pigs and stuff like that do things in public [I'm not saying go out and having sex in public] but I am saying that you aren’t going to tell a cow to get a room, are you? As long as its tasteful and you aren’t going at it right there in public I don’t see a problem. That’s life. Get over it. Just because you refuse to believe or suport homosexuality, bisexuality or any other sexuality that isn’t heterosexuality doesn’t mean its not there. And just because you post a picture doesn’t mean you are ‘endorsing’ it. Like whataboutbahb said, does that mean you endorse poop too? Let’s be honest people.
No. You say things in a matter of fact tone most of the time..right?
I don’t think they need anyone’s endorsement or approval. And there’s a difference between reporting and endorsing. Live and let live.
@saintvi - you finally kicked the biker bars, eh?
it could endorse that lifestyle. If God was ok with homosexuality then why did he make man and woman instead of kind of human. Men and women compliment each other. I personally belive homosexuality is wicked… we should love them as ourselves and like God loves them. However, I think its ok to critisize wrong doing.
this is the reason i struggle with religion. who cares if you endorse homosexuality! to me, it doesn’t make you less christian. you are embracing ALL people, regardless of their sexual orientation and THAT, to me, is christian like.
What I want to know is… WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ENDORSING THE LIFESTYLE?
Seriously. I’m not even being snarky, sarcastic or rude… for once. I’d like to know. And don’t bring religion into it, because all people don’t follow the same religion. You can’t cite something as a rule, if everyone can’t abide by it.
Fact: There has been evidence of homosexuality in almost every kind of mammal, including paleolithic man, our ancestors. What in the world is so wrong with being gay that it’s so controversial?
I don’t understand at all…
@VersaGratis - You probably kiss your boyfriend in public, right? Love is love. It’s hard enough to come by, period. Why deny others of showing their affection in public when you probably do so yourself?
Gay PDA etiquette = Straight PDA etiquette. Don’t seem like you’re going to have sex right there, and nobody should give a shit.
@donatethegiftofLIFE_katie84 - I’m so with you on that one.
@beachblondie711 - Couldn’t have said it better myself.
@AvenueToTheReal - Clay Aiken.
i think homosexuality is beautiful, so POST AWAY!!!!!!
Wouldn’t endorsing it mean you were saying it was a good idea? All you did was point out that it happend. I mean, posting a picture of a bear mauling a hiker doesn’t mean you’re endorsing hiker mauling.
Maybe these people wouldn’t be so uptight if they were out kissing girls instead of bitching about pictures of celebrities on someone’s blog.
no. what’s it matter anyway?
you must have a lot of christian right wing doh heads reading your site if they are seriously complaining about that
that is retarded. its not endorsing them….its informing and entertaining others.
lol.
lindsay lohan has a girlfriend?!?
where the hell have I been?!
It depends on the context. Looks like you have been pushing it too far pass the border line between what’s appropriate and inappropriate to post about as a Christian. I don’t believe I’m saying this since I’m a non-christian. But, even for me sometimes I found your blog to be a little bit too much. Lately you have gone wild on promoting sex or sex related topics. Maybe, that’s what you always think about constantly through out the day. Or maybe, you do this so you can draw more attention to your blog thereby gain more readers. Who knows what’s the real reason why you post so much sex related topics on your blog. Only you know the truth behind all of this.
No
I kind of think of you as a “newsman” You post the facts , but always remain impartial.
Yes. Not that it matters one way or the other. I really do not care what other people do. About the marraige thing.My only question is: Will it cost me money?
My vote is for no.
Just because you posted a picture of other people doing that doesn’t mean you want to.
and I agree with sahel578. If people stopped trying to tell other people how to live the world would be a much better place.
You know, I can’t help but wonder…
By their logic, wouldn’t putting up a photo of a guy holding a gun be advocating murder?
Ummm….if you are….ya just did it again. Is that a subtle “take that” to those blogs you speak of?
I try not to mention Christians in my blog, because I feel that anyone reading it would get the impression that I endorse Christianity.
I believe people are born the way they are. They don’t just decide it would be cool to be gay and treated like they have something wrong in the head. And no I don’t see it as bad that you posted this pic. As long as you would post pics of a man and a women kissing or a man and man kissing. Just let people be who they are.
Yeah….because seeing pics of girls kissing is NOW going to make me want to go out and do it….
Nope.
I guess I need to check TMZ more often because I COMPLETELY missed Lindsay Lohan becoming a lesbian.
No, that’s not endorsing homosexuality. That’s endorsing a drunken, loose lifestyle. =]
Ummm. no. Some people take things waayy to seriously. Everyone needs to take a chill pill. And instead of focusing on things like that, they should focus on economic problems and global warming.
I would not say your endorsing homosexuality. If take pics of your baby taking a bath, are you endorsing pediaphelia? NO. Babies taking baths are cute. 2 chicks kissing is hot. Up till yesterday, my northside neighbors are a male couple and they are both hot, I am not endorsing homosexuality, I am endorsing they are both hot. People who are close minded to not look at the point. they look at what they do not like. Anyways, Half the “Conservative Christian” males where I live love to see 2 chicks kissing.
I believe that a person’s personal sexual preference is that person’s alone. I also believe that 99.9999999% of straight guys always get a hardon from seeing 2 hot chicks making out and that same percentage would not mind seeing them go at it.
HAAA!
see my photo…I am big…now everyone go get fat …LOL!!! Showing a photo is nothing..come on thier is other topics way more important than this…Like some people can be big and do anything to be thin and can’t….they need surgery and cant get it…so they eat like a THIN person but always stuck in a fat body…How we get Judged?
Absolutely not. It’s news.
@AirForceVirgin - Thanks for the idea
If gay people can get married now, times are changing.
Some people just have to accept that.
No,your blog is about getting everyones views anyways,so the people who don’t like it can go to another blog.
First of all, are they even really ‘kissing’ in that photo???
It appears to me that Ronson is leaning in while Lohan kisses her cheek. That’s something that you would see MANY heterosexual female friends do. Heck, a closed mouth kiss on the lips isn’t unheard of between women who are simply friends.
As far as an asnwer to your question: no.
But I do enjoy how on every subsequent post you’re putting underneath each picture how you’re not endorsing what’s in the picture….priceless….lol
I would like to add (and maybe someone else has already mentioned this), if simply showing that photo is ‘endorsing’ homosexuality, then God must ‘endsore’ rape, murder, blasphemy, lying, and loads of other sins, since He mentions them in the Bible.
I’m just sayin’…
…is all.
You are kind of like the news, Dan. You report things of interest to the day (usually, although I am not interested in seeing lesbians kissing) and you go with it…put it out there, ask a question, seek opinions. I dont’ think that’s endorsing anything at all; I think that’s opening up topics for frank discussion.
Not all topics of this world will be Christian in orientation, but as Christians, we do need to be aware of and discuss the things of this world in an intelligent, civilized manner. If you don’t like the particular topic of the day, feel free to not comment.
No, It isn’t endorsing it at all. You’re not saying “Hey! Lookie here! Do this and be cool!” Or anything else like that. You just posted a picture that you thought was a problem, and somone took it the wrong way.
It’s just a picture of two women kissing. It’s not like you wrote anything about how you’re all for lesbians or anything.
yep… now xanga’s shutting you down! bwahahahaha =D
Unless they went on to read the whole post, not just look at the photo, they have nothing to say. I don’t think I read this post, but I doubt your post was “This is so hot, everyone should do this!” … *sigh*
Just stopping by, but wanted to say this.
First of all by you posting that picture, I do not feel at all that you are endorsing homosexuality. I did not see the post, of course, and don’t know what you posted about with regards to the picture, but I think it’s very presumptious for anyone to think posting a pic of that would be endorsing homosexuality. I can tell you, personally, even that with just seeing the picture, the first thing that came to my mind was to pray for them.
Secondly, on a different note, I couldn’t help but think of this verse…Matthew 5:46…For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? I am a Christian myself, but have found in my experiences at least, that many Christians lack humility and compassion with regard to others. We do not have to approve of someone’s lifestyle to love them and pray for them. Makes me also think of this verse, Luke 5:32.. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. I think we as Christians should be trained in mind to as such, if we see a photograph representing homosexuality or something related, we do not judge but rather pray for the person. We have to train our minds in a Christian fashion.
And finally, I did a post the other day about “Christian talk,” not as related to cussing or not cussing or such, but related to the way an unbeliever would view something in verbage as opposed to a Christian. For example, as in my post, an unbeliever, if you had told them you prayed for a baby girl during a pregnancy, would say something like…”Well you had a 50/50 chance of getting a girl, how hard would that be to get a girl?” But I believe a Christian, as happened in my case, would say something like “God gave me a girl.” Does that make sense, lol? I believe the same relates to what I mentioned above about the homosexual picture. It’s that way with visuals as well, such as you have seen with that photograph. Some Christians, would be like “Oh my, how horrible, a Christian putting a homosexual pic on his post endorsing that”, but notice I said “some Christians,” not “true Christians.”
I hope this made sense .I was in a hurry and trying to put my thoughts together for you. I pray that you receive this in that which God intends!
I enjoyed your post. May God bless you!
