Lesbian couple told to leave Richmond park

A lesbian couple and a photographer say they were asked to leave a park in Richmond after the couple kissed.

[Slappy]

This story is BS! They are trying to make money off this, especially the photographer. Just look at Destiny's twitter and you can tell she's some angry lesbian who wants to start trouble. destinykeith37.

[voiceofreason]

People are catching on, its just a publicity stunt.

[Curious]

Well if it's true I'm glad they did! I'm sorry but I don't want my children seeing that.

[honest one]

Curious what if one of your children is gay? judge not for you will be judged,God made everyone different ,its no sin to love no matter what sex.its a sin to hate...There will be no haters in heaven thats one thing you can count on,,

Honey Child, you need to read the rest of the verse that you are pretending to quote. It appears that you have missed a few Sunday school classes.

The bible does tell us to judge.

I'll be praying that you find yourself a good Bible believing church with a good preacher who will teach you the word of God.

Remember Jesus loves you and so do I!

Let's start with a pop quiz: What does it mean to judge?
You don't have to answer that right now; that's what we're going to look at in this study.
Have you ever sought to confront wrong-doing, or reprove someone, only to be met with, "You can't judge me!" or "Christians aren't supposed to judge!" What does God's Word say about judging?
When the subject of judging comes up among believers, the first place most Christians go to is Matthew 7:1.
Matthew 7:1.
Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Most people will stop right there, and conclude, "Jesus said don't judge." But we've got to read on to see this in context, so that we can determine what he was really saying.
Matthew 7:2.
For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with the measure which ye measure with, it shall be measured to you again.
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thy own eye?
Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thy eye; and, behold, a beam [is] in thy own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thy own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
Now it becomes clear. Jesus wasn't saying, "Don't judge." He was saying, "Don't judge your brother without first judging yourself." His exhortation was to remove the plank or beam from your own eye first, so that you can see clearly to remove the speck of sawdust from your brother's eye.
Part of the problem we have with judging is that when people say "judge" they usually mean or imply "condemn." But judging means much more than that.
"To judge" means "to make a distinction" or "to separate." You judge every day, in every aspect of life. You had to make a judgment in order to decide what clothes to wear today, or what to eat. You are also responsible for judging between truth and error.
When we look at scripture on judging, it is important that we pay attention to who is being addressed.
Romans 2:1.
Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whoever thou art that judgest: for in that thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
At first glance, this verse seems to forbid judging, and to warn that when you judge someone else, you are condemning yourself. But who is it talking to? Those who judge others for doing the same things they are doing. If you fall into that category, then you are indeed condemning yourself when you judge someone else! But this is not a blanket prohibition against judging.
What God wants is not for us to avoid judging, but instead to judge rightly

So you see, as Christians WE ARE TO JUDGE. GOD SAID SO.

So the truth is HOMOSEXUALITY is an ABOMINATION before the Lord. The BIBLE says HOMSEXUALS are going to hell. I didn't say it, God's word said it.

True! Sad part is, that there will be another posting that says, "Thou Shalt Not Judge". You can't make the blind see, when they refuse to. I think God called that "reprobate".

Everyone has to make judgements every day of their lives. You're just not allowed to do it, when speaking to a gay or liberal.

I understand what you are saying but aren't we supposed to love our brother? I've always believed that it's ok to say I don't approve of what you are doing but as a child of God I still love you. alot of things confuse me when it comes to this matter. I do know one thing for sure there is alot of hate coming from Christain people's mouth and I don't feel like that is how a child of God should be acting .

I beleive the Bible also states let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Also my question, why would God allow someone to be born gay, then condem them right off the bat.

Well, you start with an invalid assumption that people are "born" that way. Homosexuality is a choice. It's called sin. All men have fallen short of the glory of God. So the question is can the repentant sinner turn from his/her sin. Yes, they can.

You can attempt to twist the Bible to support homosexuality. It does not. God's word is clear on homosexuality. It's also clear on stealing, abusing alcohol, anger, lying, and many other sins. One is not greater than the other.

[Lawyer]

say whatever, there is no law in effect here that protects gays. the owner of the park or the groundskeeper can kick their ass out. period!

This is where the homosexual fallacy begins. No one is "hating". A true Christian doesn't hate the person. They are to hate the SIN. The wages of sin are death.

If I were to use a different scenario using a drug user, should I allow that person to continue in that lifestyle that ultimately leads to death or should I love that person enough to help them as much as I can? To tell them they need help and try and help them to get that help? Since I'm a Christian, would my helping that drug user get clean mean I'm hating on them? Is it somehow different when you're not a Christian and you extend help to someone? A sinner's first reaction is to hate the Christian. Trust me, many Christians, themselves, have been down this road and hated the very name of Jesus.

The sad part of using this scenario with a homosexual though is that a drug user has nothing to do with it. There are more examples than a drug user. They are adamant that a Christian is singling them out, specifically. They want us to look 'the other way' and leave them to the lifestyle that they demand that they deserve.

I hope that you continue to search for the Truth.

Guess it's safe to assume Preacher Man and Agree are not able to produce their guaranteed ticket to heaven. Was so hoping to see that and a bit disappointed they are not willing to share how they got it!

Very sad, imho.

And if you follow things, then you know, you can be kicked out of more than just a park in Richmond, for being gay.

The place you live.
The place you work.
