It’s in March 31st every year. It doesn’t just go away on the rare occasion Easter also falls on March 31st. Trying to blame Biden for this reeks of desperation.
Totally separate - but in the Bible Jesus accepts everyone for who they are and right where they are at. Being angry, judgmental, or even violent about someone who is trans existing is inherently anti-Christian.
I’m not the one claiming being trans is a sin. I don’t intend to provide “prove a negative” citations that television and tennis shoes aren’t sins either.
It’s known the Catholics view it as sin. Muslims view it as a sin. This is well known and has been in the news recently as the pope has spoke about it.
It’s not asking you to prove a negative. It’s a common known fact.
Tolerance may do well, unless people are in danger. My son might believe it is safe for him to run across the road but I’m intolerant of that belief and behaviour. Instead, because I love him, I shout ‘stop’ and grab him. My friend might believe that alcohol doesn’t affect his driving ability but I’m intolerant of that. Instead, because I love him, I’ll take his car keys and drive him home myself. Jesus knows that people whose views, beliefs, and behaviours differ to his own are in danger. Jesus knows that certain beliefs lead to death, and judgement, and hell. Jesus knows that certain lifestyles are actually harmful to those who practice them. If Jesus had simply tolerated different views and behaviours he’d have smiled, waved, and done nothing. He’d have left people in deadly danger. But instead, Jesus loves people whose beliefs and behaviours differ from his.
This is why Christians get so much criticism.
They couch their intolerant behavior in religion and expect us just to accept it as the love of Jesus manifested through them. But that’s not what it is. Sure, Jesus knew certain beliefs lead to death, judgement, and hell but he didn’t bully prostitutes or shun lepers. He also didn’t rape little boys and steal them from their families and claim it was love. And the primary object of his greatest act of intolerance was against the church that claimed to represent him and his father.
Christianity is under attack. By so-called Christians doing deeply un-Christian things. They play the victim as they victimize others. Their love is narcissistic. And their actions are evil.
I am just confused. The leaders didn’t claim to represent Jesus.
I think many people dislike religion but they also don’t understand the first thing about it.
Jesus was a Jew. After he died, Christian’s were people who tried to live their life on his teachings. Jewish people don’t see Jesus as a messiah. It varies but some see him as a prophet. Islam sees him as a prophet.
Jesus criticized people for not being truly religious.
Hell, there were eight genders recognized by Jewish law long before Jesus was born. Male, Female, Androgynous (in this case, naturally possessing obvious traits of both genders, in modern parlance a hermaphrodite), “Tumtum” being largely bereft of either gender, Born male but naturally developing female, born male but developing female due to human intervention, born female but naturally developing male, and born female and developing male due to human intervention.
The Heritage Foundation operates under stated goals to influence society to be more conservative. They literally tell you they aren’t an objective source and are instead trying to persuade you to believe what they believe. This article also cites a far-right Orthodox Jew and Ben Shapiro…a who’s-who of unbiased historical perspective, right? Lmao

Yeah Jesus accepted everyone.

What Jesus intolerant ?
https://fervr.net/bible/was-jesus-intolerant
Jesus didn’t tolerate sin but he loved the sinner.
What does that have to do with being trans—a thing which is not a sin?
According to most major religions it’s a sin.
No it isn’t.
Yes it is. Do you have cite to say otherwise?

Girl hush.
Why did “God make wheat” and not bread? Same reason as trans people. So humans could share in the holy act of creation.
What’s your actual source for it being a sin, not people saying it’s a sin.
Cite Jesus if you please, not a mistranslation of Paul of Tarsus

#NotAllChristians or whatever.
From one of my favorite authors and her blog:
I am really confused by this statement. Can you explain ? There were no churches when Jesus was alive.
I’m saying he criticized the church and was intolerant of what they were teaching.
Jesus? There were no churches when Jesus was alive.
Okay, fine, he criticized the religious leaders that claimed to represent him and his father.

It would have been trivial to pick a day that would never fall on the same day as Easter
Why should whoever was responsible for TDoV have to?
Trans people were around before Rome, much less, Jesus.
Hell, there were eight genders recognized by Jewish law long before Jesus was born. Male, Female, Androgynous (in this case, naturally possessing obvious traits of both genders, in modern parlance a hermaphrodite), “Tumtum” being largely bereft of either gender, Born male but naturally developing female, born male but developing female due to human intervention, born female but naturally developing male, and born female and developing male due to human intervention.
According to the news that is false and gross understanding of the text.

“The news” aka the far-right think tank Heritage Foundation. Get better at sourcing information
Sounds like it’s a damn good source since you can’t attack their point of view and only that they are conservative.
The Heritage Foundation operates under stated goals to influence society to be more conservative. They literally tell you they aren’t an objective source and are instead trying to persuade you to believe what they believe. This article also cites a far-right Orthodox Jew and Ben Shapiro…a who’s-who of unbiased historical perspective, right? Lmao
We are a conservative forum and we use conservative sources.
If you don’t like that, don’t whine about it. Cite a counter source. It doesn’t have to be conservative but crying about the source is amateur move
Lmao it would be even more trivial to notice this doesn’t impact your life in any way and let it the fuck go.
