Letter To Big Church
Last Read: |
Hey, everyone, I wanted to share with you a letter that I have sent to BC. I don't know if any of the rest of you have a problem with this or something similar, but if you do, I would like to encourage you to write to BC and let them know. I am writing this letter to you, the power’s that be behind this web-site, to ask you to please go back and re-review your decision concerning my post concerning Wal-Mart’s support and advocacy of homosexuality. You have banned it for being a hate post and after reading the remainder of this correspondence it my hope that you will realize that your decision may have been based on mis-information. I do not hate homosexuals, any more than I hate those who have been divorced, people who abuse other’s, people who drink alcohol, people who use drugs or any number of people in other categories which I consider to be “sin” based on my belief in God and the teaching of the Holy Bible. I do however “hate” sin and do all that I am called to do as a Christian to fight it’s spread in the world. I hate divorce for it is not what God intended. Yet to hate those who have been divorced would require me to hate myself. I hate abuse in all of its forms, for I know that God is not pleased with it. It destroys peoples’ lives. But again, to hate the victims or the perpetrators would require me to hate myself for I have been both. We are all guilty of abusing other's in one way or another. I hate addictions in all it’s forms because God hates it and it destroys people and families. Yet to hate addicts would mean I hate myself, for I have had addictions in the past and still have a few today. And, yes, I hate homosexuality, for God did not create us to live this lifestyle and it too destroys families. But hating the homosexual would be the same as hating any and every other person on the face of this earth, because all have sinned and fall short of God's glory. We are called to “Love One Another!” As a sinner, saved by grace, it is not my place to judge anyone, but I am allowed, even commanded to judge things that are sinful. Even small children are taught wrong from right, to know the difference between them and to avoid doing the wrong. So hating the sin and fighting, advocating against it’s spread in our families, in our country, in our world, is completely different from hating the sinner. Ephesians 6:13 . . .and having done all, to stand

I agree with everyone above... Awesome! 2 Tim 1: 7 "for the Spirit that God has given us does not make us timid; instead, His spirit fills us with power, love and self control." Funny how the ones who speak righteousness are told to be quiet and rejected and the ones who speak or even exhibit nonsense are praised in the name of 'freedom of speech,' huh. Unbelievable!

I stand in agreement with you, Amen! I feel that you should know who you are dealing with though... i may get suspended for this but oh well the truth needs to be spoken. B.C. is owned and operated by the same family that runs hmu services,Hotmatch.com,Hotmatch.com,Hotmatch.com, Hotmatch.com,and a few others. It's a Christian site that is affiliated with pornography sites ... what do we expect?

It looks like Daisy's words were censored....funny isn't it that when she was just trying to speak the truth of the other sites they own and operate that they felt the need to censor her. Pretty sad when you are so ashamed of your own actions that you must rush to hide the open acknowledgment of them! It really is just sickening what this world is becoming. I was watching Cold Case last night which is one of my all time favorite shows and the episode was about a gay couple where one of the men was murdered due to hatred. Anyway, the way they handled it, it was really obvious that they were pushing an agenda. Frankly I took out the cable in my home about 3 years ago in an effort to avoid the muck out there and now I can't trust the airwaves either. I may be investing in sky-angel soon. Sorry Birdy I went on an off topic rant I guess.

To all of you who responded, thank you so much for your show of support. Daisy, they also have a site just for homosexuals as well as for people of different races. My whole point in writing is, if this is to be a site for Christians then allow us to be Christians. I don't believe for one moment that any of us are going to their other sites and harassing people there. I am about to post another blog that no doubt will cause them to censor me. It too is from American Family Association and I hope that I get a lot of support from everyone on this one at the AFA site because I really am very supportive of what it stands for. I will be posting it in just a few moments so everyone be prepared. Ephesians 6:13 . . .and having done all, to stand

My brothers and sisters, this is the notice that was place on my post for which I wrote the letter. Since the topics weapons and under age were not applicable that left only hate. Your post has been denied due to the following reason: Banned Topics (hate/weapons/under age). I received a reply from BC stating that they could not assist me with this. So I asked them who could. This was their reply: Dear Member, Thank you for your email. The Friend Finder Network strives for an exciting and safe experience for all our members. Our commitment to member privacy (as outlined in our Terms of Service agreement) plays a vital role in ensuring member safety. Guided by the TOS agreement the Friend Finder Network will only break our commitment to secrecy of IP addresses, email addresses, or identities by the request of law enforcement or court-ordered subpoena. Therefore, should you still want the aforementioned private information, please instruct your law enforcement official or lawyer to deliver your request by mail to the following address to ensure fastest response. I can only guess from this response that the reason that the post was banned was due to another member reporting it as being abusive. It saddens me to think that there are members here who do not understand the difference between sin and the sinner. But that too, teaching the truth's of our Lord and Saviour, is one of the tasks that has been set before us. So, as our brother before us has said, let us not grow weary, but let us continue to do all that we can to shine the light to the world. Ephesians 6:13 . . .and having done all, to stand
