Description
"I'd rather be hated by the world for loving God than be loved by the world and shunning God."My sixteenth stamp, made by customizing a stamp template via Adobe Photoshop. (Image used in stamp found over the internet.)
(Created on 8-26-2011.)
It is not uncommon for others to desire acceptance. Many fear rejection. But what good will it be to gain acceptance by compromising your faith? Love should never be at the cost of your faith in God/Jesus.
God's love is eternal. He already knew you even before you were born. He loved you so much that He sent His Son Jesus to rescue you from eternity in hell in which we deserve for our sins. He did that for you. Future eternity in Heaven with God will be worth so much more than anything we can gain in the world today. So is it worth it to deny your faith before others?
"What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?" (Matthew 16:26)
It is guaranteed that not everyone will be accepting of believers. It's not easy to deal with, especially to experience having friends and loved ones even reject you. But if you were ever put in a situation in which the world is against you, who would you choose to side with? The world or God? Where does your allegiance lie? When it all comes down to a great big shaking in our comfort zone, where will we turn to?
Feel free to put this stamp on your page if you feel the same way.

I have several Christian friends, and a God that loves me. That's all I'll ever need. I don't need the love of anyone else to be happy.

Why do you spend so much time attacking "Fags" on the internet and threatening gay people?
People who are gay deserve the same legal rights you and I do.
You don't see me pushing to take legal rights away from dumb homophobic Christians like you.Β

What you said, is of course, not offensive in the least.
The person I was talking to thinks that gay people should be punished for being gay.Β
If you don't believe that yourself, great.

People who are gay can, of course be Christians.
Why do you thing that Gay people should have fewer rights than you, though?

When did I say they should have less rights than me? Everyone should be equal regardless of gender , sexuality, or race. Why are you saying lgbt Christians should be attacked for being Christian?

I see that you jumped into a discussion before understanding it.
The person I was talking to thinks that gay people should be punished for being gay.Β If you don't believe that yourself, great.
At no point did I suggest rights should be taken away from Christians.Β I said the opposite, I said it clearly, and I said it twice. Β
For those of you who persist on saying"Fags"should be burned to death, or threatened, I will continue to call out your violence for what it is.

Ok then. I agree that radical Christians should be dealt with, but only them and not Christians who are open minded. It's not fair to attack people who did nothing wrong while real culprit is set free. This is the same in other spectrums.Do you agree?

Well many Christians still follow them I'm afraid and wants everyone else to also. But anyways,Β the only rules I will ever follow are: no killing, raping, stealing, and wanting and loving sex. All of the others can go die.

Stereotype dear!
STOP LABELING ALL Christians for the BAD ones. Have you even MET all Christians?
I for one don't care for homosexuality.
1) I hate YAOI, not gay real relationships. I still hold love and respect for gays.
2) Even IF I choose not to even be gay, it doesn't mean I slaughter others who DO.
So, how ABOUT you respect our beliefs and stop labeling us as something so treacherous.

The poster who suggested that "fags should be put to death in the name of Jesus" is dumb, homophobic, and Christian.
Do you deny that?
I at no point suggested that ALL Christians are dumb and homophobic and you'd have to be trying pretty hard to misunderstand it in that way.
Funny that you don't mind when people talk about "killing faggots," but you cry when someone points out that some people are both Christian and homophobic.

1: I don't LIKE people killing each other regardless of the choices they do. Don't shove words down my mouth. I also did say something about it.
2: Really? It seemed like you were stereotyping us. I know some people are, I just misunderstood. I came from a place someone accused me of being a homophobic since I am christian, when I have gay friends.
3: Good. I hate those stereotypes and dislike the people of my culture saying the most horrid things to gays. They are human too!

Most people I know are of course, Christian.Β That's true for me and most every person in the US.Β No, I have nothing against Christians.
I DO have something against people who talk about taking "faggots" out into the street and beating the shit out of them.
