DisOp-- The post-rapture period should not be taken lightly, There will be great trials of all types. One will be that one will not be living during that time of severe tribulation. The road to hell is broad and wide and popular. Jesus said that the way to heaven is narrow and only through Him. Choose ye this day whom you will serve.

A "loving relationship" outside the appropriate biblical boundaries is shameful. Sorry, I would give deference to the Bible rather than your personal opinion.

A "loving relationship" outside the appropriate biblical boundaries is shameful. Sorry, I would give deference to the Bible rather than your personal opinion.

No offense, but I will disagree with any view which is not properly grounded biblically.

If you need to disagree, then your disagreement is with the Scriptures and how you approach its interpretation.

It's not difficult to use the Scriptures in such a way as to justify an opposite meaning of its intent. Sin can easily be rationalized.

That is the oldest trick used since the beginning of the ages. Nothing new is under the sun,less

Walker abused his judicial office by substituting his personal biased views instead of interpreting the facts based on the Constitution. He did not apply the law. He made the law single-handedly. That's called judicial activism. Thankfully he will resigning soon!

What you might think and how ENDA will actually be interpreted and applied by judicial activists are two entirely different things. ENDA will force Christians to compromise their religious beliefs. Churches will be forced to hire homosexuals although they don't uphold the faith values being taught within their setting. When that happens, the Church might as well teach anything under the sun...more

ENDA will force Christians to compromise their religious beliefs. Churches will be forced to hire homosexuals although they don't uphold the faith values being taught within their setting.

When that happens, the Church might as well teach anything under the sun. There's no reasonable line at which the Church can draw to say "stop" under ENDA.less

The Southern Poverty Law Center has no credibility in its biased evaluation. It merely wants to shut down debate of opposing viewpoints by labeling all they disagree with as "hate." It does not take much intellectual capacity to simply label an opponent "hateful." Anyone can do that.

SM--It is discrimination. Pure & simple.

Apps by Planned Parenthood & groups that advocate the repeal of Proposition 8 are permitted by Apple.

Apps that promote the sancity of human life and traditional marriage are not allowed.

That is pure viewpoint discrimination!

No one is forcing anyone's view on you. One need not be so offended by differing points of view. To advocate strenously for a biblical worldview in the public square does not force anyone to accept it.

Exposure to a viewpoint does not equate to the forcing of one to accept it. Don't be afraid of the power of the biblical viewpoint. Nor am I afraid of the most anti-biblical worldview advocated in the most vehement fashion. I will merely disagree with you. And you should merely disagree with me. I won't consider that to be forcing it upon me.

Premature self-censorship of a viewpoint for fear of offensive the sensitive will only shut down the legitimate exchange of ideas.

It will not allow the best ideas and views to rise to the top. Instead, it artificially filters out and permits only the views with gatekeeping muscle to reach the floor of the public square.

As a result, the best views do not have the opportunity to wrestle it out on their own merits.

Which is essentially what happens when claims are made of "forcing your views on others."

Apple is facilitating a dangerous precedent of prior restraint of speech based on viewpoint discrimination. They are the sole arbiter of the appropriateness of speech. When such a practice is culturally accepted, other corporations will jump on the bandwagon.

Soon, any criticism regarding the immorality of homosexuality will not be permitted anywhere via government or private chanels of communication,

Which is exactly what the activists want. To shut down legitimate debate so that society disapproval is squelched. Resulting in the claim that society has now approved the lifestyle choice made by homosexuals.

The gradual progression of cultural, legal, political, educational, religious, theological, and spiritual acceptance of homosexuality marches forward. Not merely societal tolerance, which is not enough but the mandate of societal approval.

Taking a stand against discrimination in the US does not minimize or make light of the persecution faced by Christians in foreign lands. Part of stewardship in finances is wisely putting those dollars into places which help encourage biblical values. To make purchasing decisions without regard to where a corporation's values are is to be irresponsible in our Christian stewardship. Tis true that persecution will help the Church in the USA to grow, However, that does not mean we ought to be passive in promoting religious freedoms just to allow for discrimination to eventually encourage Church growth and purification. It's not the end of the world for Apple to stop this app. But since Apple is so influential, other corps are looking carefully at what Apple can get away with. We need to draw the line now... with or without your help.less

"Human sexuality is not a sin."

Where do we start?

Sex was created by God to be a beautiful thing....within the proper boundaries of a biblical marriage between a man and a woman.

Sex outside the boundaries of a biblical marriage between a man and a woman is immoral and unbiblical.

I believe that is a biblical worldview. Disagree if you wish. But the most loving thing I can do is to share what I see as biblical truth.

Spew your hate towards God if you disagree. Your issue is with the Bible not me.

If one is committed to the biblical worldview, then one will compart our view and behavior with that.

If one is committed to merely enjoying our personal version of sexuality that is contrary to the biblical worldview then do so with full knowledge that it is not biblical. Don't try compart the biblical worldview to fit one's unbiblical worldview of sexuality.

The most honest thing is to say I am rebelling against the biblcial principles. I have more respect for the person who openly admits rebellion rather than for the one who uses the Bible to justify one's sin.

That is very, very spiritually dangerous!less

...notasin continues to spew ad hominem attacks, displaying the hateful speech that he/she claims to condemn. Disagree away.. disagree vehemently but enough of your hate. With all due respect, I strongly disagree with your worldview which is not biblical. No one advoated the need to turn American into a theocracy. You misread and overinterpreted the statements.

The drive to educate Christians on an informed biblical worldview for voting on moral issues is an inclusive democratic process. Disagree if you wish but that is protected political speech under the First Amendment of the Federal Constitution, I'm glad that your sovereign insights into my mind lead to the conclusion that I don't understand Christianity.

Instead of merely giving the benefit of the doubt, of disagreeing, it's too easy to shut down debate by stigmatizing another person's knowledge, as if you have the only correct version of Christianity. You know nothing of my background, knowledge, or experience. So please don't try to appear so well-educated and informed while another person is so ignorant of law, theology, politics and culture.

It is well within the realm of possibility that many on this forum have areas of expertise in education and training that you may not have.

So please stick to the issues & stop the hate. Disagree or agree and stop the personal stigmatization that so many activists enjoy using.less

Cut the government deficit; stop funding abortions now!

Apple's discrimination against Christians is appalling. I refuse to buy an iPad or iTouch or iPhone, That's the only language they will understand.

What a sad twisting of God's name and cause to justify the destruction of biblical marriage between a male and a female. Did not the serpent quote Scripture to tempt Adam and Eve?

Exactly... "Don't fight Him, don't presume to know better."

Don;t go rebel to the dangerous boundary where the conscience no longer speaks to provide proper discernment fo right and wrong. To get there is spiritually hazardous to one's eternal destiny. Then one never finds out till it's too late.less

DOMA can be repealed if Christians continue to vote pro-homosexual politicians into office. (ie liberal Democrats and RINO's) Christians who vote without regard to the biblical worldview are doing a great diservice to the cause of Christ. The Chuirch needs to unite to protect the sanctity of traditional marriage. Anything less is dishonoring to Christ.
