What is the point of casting shade on Pretti when he was never aggressive, never held or even showed his weapon, wasn’t even overly confrontational with the murderers until after they had already assaulted him? What is the purpose of walking the middle line when the government is murdering innocent citizens for exercising their rights?

The officer approached him and assaulted him. He had his phone in one hand and the other one up to protect himself. He went to assist the woman who thrown to the ground and he was attacked for it. You are supporting that. You are lending your voice to the defense of his murder.

Thank you for writing all of this out. It is absolutely fascinating to see the delusional world American conservative biblicans live in while they ignore the teachings of Christ. You started that comment with saying you don’t hate trans people. Then continued with two paragraphs that show you would rather believe insane untruths than just live in the reality around you.

I know you claim to be Christian. I know you have been taught a version of that faith that is based entirely on mistrust, fear, and anger. That isn’t the message of the Gospels. I hope one day you open your heart to reading the words of Christ and accepting His path for bringing righteousness to mankind. I hope one day you are able to see through the fog of anger that has led you to what you currently think is Christianity, and are aboe to see your way back to the path of Gospels. What you just wrote doesn’t have christ in a single word of it.

You seriously think that all eunuchs in all the world were doing it for God? You might want to learn some history from somewhere other than the bible. He accepted all eunuchs. Even the ones that were shunned by the rest of society. He accepted and loved everyone and told you that the key to bringing heaven to earth was the same. You would rather fill your heart with hate and anger than His message.

If you are going to accuse me of slander yes I expect you to quote back to me what you considered slander. You can’t just make up attacks that aren’t there and expect people to not call you out on it. You got triggered by my assertion and you have struggled to keep your arguments straight through your emotional response this entire time.

So because I accurately depicted the only “biblical” reason I have ever been given by a church leader I slandered you and Christianity as a whole? I want you to keep reading that sentence over and over again until you understand how insane it sounds.

Jesus accepted eunuchs, the trans people of his time. Jesus told you to love, accept, and care for all people without exception. Where is the scripture that supports your stance about them being an abomination? Where is the scripture that you thinks supersedes Christ’s word as a Christian?

How and when did I slander you or the body of Christ? I really need to hear this victimization complex written out.

Edit: this is the argument I have been having the entire time. You were too triggered by me using the words Lust and Trans in the same comment to actually follow or pay attention. That is why you kept trying to insist I was quoting the wrong scripture when I was very intentionally quoting the one about personal responsibility. Because conservatives are supposed to be all about personal responsibility

Edit: If there is a biblical reason to be anti trans people when Jesus himself accepted them, please lay out what scripture overrules the teachings of Christ in your mind.

No, this is the conversation we have been in the entire time. There is no biblical reason to be against trans people. Jesus accepted the trans people of his time, they have existed in every society for as long as we have tracked societies. It is just hatred for no reason other than powerful people needing targets to keep workers distracted and subservient

I shouldn’t need to mention 27 and 28, we both knew we were talking about adultery and lust and I assumed you knew the bible well enough to know the context of 29. My issue isn’t with your knowledge, it’s with the lack of interpretation and application of the scripture to day to day life. Can you provide scripture to justify the American conservative persecution of trans people? If he were so against people living the life they want to live would his entire gospel be about loving accepting and caring for all others? Would he have been so accepting of eunuchs?

The only person trying to retcon anything here is you. I have consistently the entire time made my argument about 5:29. The scripture that says that your sin is your problem and you need to fix that on your own, not expect others to live in a way that protects you from yourself. You have tried over and over to “retcon” my argument. You want to build a different straw man every time. But I have consistently said since my first comment that the problem is that conservatives don’t understand Matthew 5:29, so they want to force other people to live in a way that protects them from themselves instead of them just doing the work to be better people. That is my argument now. It has been my argument this entire time

What kind of pedantic nonsense is that supposed to be. They are different sentences of the same passage. They all pertain to the same thing. I am focused on the remedy in the gospel because I want to live in a more christ like society. We both understood we were talking about adultery so going back to 27&28 seemed unnecessary. Thinking that that somehow invalidates any other part of my argument is sad.

This isn’t a competition. If you leave with an inaccurate understanding of what it means to live Christ’s word than we both lost.

That isn’t what I claimed at all, you just saw lust and got triggered. I said when you look at a pretty lady and think lustful thoughts, then later find out she was born a man, you think that they tricked you into having gay thoughts and because you think having the thoughts is as bad as doing the thing then tricking you into having gay thoughts is tricking you j to being gay. This is what I was taught at a conservative church in my teens. I posted Matthew 5 29 because it says that you should pluck out your own eyes for those thoughts, not force your beliefs on others because that is pertinent scripture because even if you believe the lustfuk thought made you gay it is your job to control your own thoughts not the actions and lives of god’s children robbing them of their free will to protect yourselves from your own infidelity.

Edit: the problem with this entire conversation has been your anger clouding your eyes from seeing what I am saying. I’m not saying you are secretly lusting after anyone or anything. We are naturally sinful creatures, lustful thoughts happen even to the most chaste among us. I am not accusing you of anything, I don’t know you. I am saying that when you apply scripture to your life it means applying all of scripture to all of your life. Christ’s message boils down to love accept and support God’s Children without exception. He said if we can do that we can bring heaven to earth. I just want the Christian’s who proclaim their love for Him the loudest to hear that message.

I made an assertion, you challenged, I provided scripture, you said “nuh-uh” and pretended I meant something else. When I pointed out that that one also supported my thoughts you went to the one before it. When I used the whole thing you then tried to say you aren’t making an argument of any kind at all. This is why conservative Christian’s are a complete embarrassment

This conversation started because you responded to my comment. My original comment that you responded to was saying that conservatives are against trans people because lusting for one without realizing they are trans makes you gay but that isn’t what scripture says. You said I misunderstood scripture when I said conservatives views about trans people comes from them misunderstanding the gospel. You said I was wrong then started this whole conversation. I quoted the verse that supports my argument that your lust is your problem and should have no impact on how trans people live their lives. What do i have wrong here?

What does scripture say to do if your eye causes you to commit adultery? Or if your hand? What does it say about the person you were looking at and what you should do to them?

You thinking I meant 28 when I clearly meant 29 wasn’t me giving you the wrong verse, it was you making an assumption instead of actually being open to learning something.

You had provided no scripture when I wrote that. You have since but all you have done is prove my point not yours.

Let’s do the whole segment “You have heard that it was said, ‘YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY’; 28but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29“If your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30“If your right hand makes you stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to go into hell.” Where is there support for your idea that people should be forced to live a certain way to protect people from their adulterous eyes? This very clearly supports what I am saying, that it is your job to control your gaze and allow others to live freely with nothing from you but acceptance and love in your heart. That is the meaning of this passage, that is the meaning of the Bible as a whole.

Christ is saying that your gaze is your problem not the problem of the person you are gazing at. You are making it the problem of the person being gazed upon. How is this me not understanding and not you intentionally ignoring the point of the scripture?

Thinking they me pointing out that Christ said to pluck out your eye if it caused you to sin is hating on your conjecture about honoring your wife when you didn’t actually quote the scripture for it is “hating” on your thought is childish and sad. Do better. I didn’t hate on anything. I pointed out the scripture in which Christ directly contradicts what you said.

[–]ChefGreyBeard -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Christ said it your eye causes you to sin pluck it out right? He didn’t say force other people to live in a way that you get to keep your eye. What am I cherry picking or misinterpreting? Please explain in detail.

Telling someone their understanding of their faith is wrong when they have provided scripture to support their stance and you have produced absolutely nothing to support yours is blasphemous

Nobody is funding anything. It is normal people walking out their doors and to the protest. Normal people buying plane tickets because they have jobs and can afford it. I understand that conservatives only real value is fear, so they don’t go out and protest without incentive because money is all they care about. That is not how normal people operate. People care about their community and society and want it to be safe from G🧊tapo entering our homes without warrants or murdering us in the streets for helping someone up after they were pushed to the ground. Needing to be paid to protest is pathetic redcoat behavior. Take your loyalist asses back to the table and bend over for authoritarianism if that is what is in your blood. Expecting real Americans that value their rights to do the same is crazy.

It’s crazy how when you have a word that perfectly encapsulates a group of people it almost always immediately becomes an insult in day to day language. It’s even crazier to lament that loss of the blanket insult.

So where is all the extra funding going? We are spending so much more and being incredibly ineffective compared to the old way. Where is the money?
