This time it's all about how gays are not allowed to even think about sex.
Quote:Christians should reject 'gay identity' in its entirety
There is a sinister movement that has crept into the Church. It goes by a few names, some of which include “Gay Celibate Theology” or “Side B Christianity.” I like to call it demonic.
Those who identify as Gay Celibate Christians will mostly affirm that God created two genders, male and female (Gen. 1:27), and that sex is reserved for marriage (Gen. 2:24). So far so good, right? Wrong. The movement teaches that men can live God-honoring lives as self-identified homosexuals with unrepentant homosexual desires so long as they refrain from homosexual sex acts. These insidious ideologies are so wrong on so many fronts that my brain can’t even comprehend them as I write this article.
As Christians, we pray for God to change our hearts, not our chromosomes.
The belief that sinful desires don’t have to be crucified and that homosexual desires are nothing more than an immutable orientation is just a prideful excuse to relentlessly live in sin.
Can you imagine if a married man said to his buddy, “I know I’m married and I would never cheat on my wife, but all day I dream of having an affair. I’m not in sin, so long as I don’t engage in the physical behavior.” This man is clearly in sin and doesn’t understand that God longs to change his heart (Ez. 36:26), not just keep him from sinful behavior.
GCT adherents believe they are imprisoned to live in supposed “celibacy” as victims unable to be sanctified to become healthy men who enjoy marriage and fatherhood. I think instead of calling it “Side B Christianity” they should call it “Plan B Christianity.” Even still, it wouldn’t be Christian.
Nowhere in Scripture are we taught that God gives the gift of celibacy to an individual because of sexual immorality in their heart. This is a victim mentality and quite frankly toxic.
I’ve personally been delivered from homosexual desires as I have walked with the Lord as my Counselor. In my healing journey, the Lord has helped me process my childhood so that I could understand why I developed homosexual desires in the first place. At the core of my struggle was a masculinity crisis that propelled me to sexualize other men. Healing came in part from God restoring my broken masculine identity.

Funny how many self-styled ‘Christians’ can’t seem to belt up about homosexuality when Jesus was completely silent on the matter.
Either start calling yourselves ‘Paulites’ or emulate Jesus and shut the fuck up about it.

If two gays are living across the street from me, how does that affect me?
Their life and choices are none of my business!

Yes, but we asked them nicely and they took the cameras out of our house.

Occult Elvis: was Presley a telepathic demigod who could heal the sick and change the weather?
A new book argues that the singer whose looks, voice and charisma changed so much more than music was one further thing: the world’s greatest occult magician.
The Mystical and Magical Life of the King, is a book that gathers material from sources including Priscilla Presley, the clique of Presley’s associates known as the Memphis Mafia, and spiritual advisers such as his personal hairstylist and guru Larry Geller.
This is not the first to take such an approach. Presley’s spiritual life has been examined elsewhere, in books such as David Rosen’s The Tao of Elvis, first published in 2001, and Elvis: Between the Lines: His Quest for Higher Consciousness as Told Through His Notes.
In The Occult Elvis we learn of Presley’s talent for weather manipulation, one day waving his hands to clear rain from the sky, so two friends could play racquetball at his Graceland court. Longtime fan Wanda June Hill also appears, with her revelation that the King divulged to her that he was not from this planet, but rather hailed from Jupiter’s ninth moon. The book also details Presley’s belief in extraterrestrials and his claim to have had several UFO encounters, once telling his bodyguard Sonny West: “If they make contact, we can’t be afraid, because they are not going to hurt us.”
To the sceptically minded, some of this will require not so much a pinch of salt, but a Graceland-sized helping. Yet Conner is a scholar of gnosticism, a broad field of Christian mysticism, and hosts the Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio podcast. He argues that Presley became the US’s “egregore”: in occult parlance, that is a non-physical, demigod-like manifestation that takes on a life of its own after being created by the will of a collective. From his earliest days, Conner writes, Presley was surrounded by strange happenings: he supposedly received psychic guidance from his stillborn twin brother, Jesse; and he recalled to girlfriend June Juanico that, as a boy, he would astrally project himself into the stars.
“He considered himself a faith healer,” says Tillery, who recalls being “amazed” when he learned the extent of Presley’s spiritual life. The writer heard one story about a friend of Presley’s who had been in a motorcycle accident and was now in hospital dealing with excruciating pain. “Elvis visited him,” says Tillery, “and spent 30 minutes waving his hands over the guy’s back – and he said it was amazing. The pain was almost all gone. He hadn’t had any relief for two weeks.”
The singer died in his bathroom at the age of 42, while reading A Scientific Search for the Face of Jesus by Frank O Adams, according to a 2022 article in the Daily Express. But a torrent of strange accounts poured forth about the King after he died, including a string of sightings taken up by the tabloids and collected in Raymond A Moody’s 1987 book Elvis After Life. “When you look at Elvis apparitions that still happen today,” says Conner, pointing to the Graceland website where visitors can record their own, normally prosaic sightings, “he’s up on the level of sasquatch, Jesus and the Virgin Mary.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

A few days ago husband spent most of the afternoon and evening watching some show about looking for Big Foot. I put on my headphones and tried not to roll my eyes out of my head. The next day I told him I didn't care what he watched as long as it wasn't the unending search for Big Foot.
He's at a job interview this morning and also has one tomorrow...the man needs to get a job, and fast. My last nerve is so frayed right now...

Must have missed when you posted about it. How long has been out of a job?
