There's a picture going around on Facebook of Tim Tewbow & Collins. Tewbow is ridiculed for stating he's a christian, but Collins praised and given a call from BO. Yeah, it does make you shake your head......
I confess, I don't stay on top of all that kind of "news", but, really? Tim Tebow was "ridiculed" for stating he's a Christian? Really?

That's hardly ridiculing Tebow. That's obviously drawn by someone sympathetic to Tebow and, well, on your side regarding Collins. The cartoonist is making the same point you made.
Maybe that's not the picture you had in mind. Would you mind posting it?

Its not being a bigot or racist to put down the acts or life style of people that are "glbt"!!!!
Your god would not uphold their actions.
He would not watch them play a game.
He would not tell them to live any way they wish.
God would tell you that if you support or condone their in any way to emply their life style is ok then you are one yourself. Read romans chapters 1 and 2.
Apostolics make me sick with their bouble standards.
It is ok to say it is wrong but it is ok to promote it as long as i do not have to make a stand against it.
You oneness set rules for others that stating they are living wrong and then praise them for standing and telling every person about it and say what respect you have for them for making their statement.
You are a foolish person and live contrary to the very scripture you state you live by.
Whatever god states is wrong is wrong and we better not support it.
I have a number of thoughts concerning you post. The first being that proper grammar, punctuation, spelling, and capitalization are important.
Second, I am not at all certain as to what your post is addressing as nothing in your reply is pertinent to the initial post.
Where was this praise for the homosexual agenda being pushed in this post?
Are you referring to the fact that there was a celebration of tact and courtesy being used by both sides?
If the latter is the case, then you are removed from the bounds of Scripture for it says, "Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man." (Col 4:6) Further, we are also told to use wisdom in how we approach the world with its many sins. When in Athens, Paul did not directly condemn idolatry. Rather, he used their idols to prove a point. By the time he was finished, he had one some away from their idolatry, others who were giving the issue further consideration, and lastly those who chose to remain with their lifestyle.
There is no instance in Scripture that we are called to denigrate and insult those who are outside of the church. Rather, we are to pray for those who we consider enemies, bless those that curse us, live at peace with those around us (if it is at all possible, and not giving any consideration to our own inconveniences).
Your post appears to desire the Apostolic movement to adopt the same attitudes, methods, and aspirations as the Westboro Baptist Church. They are not Christian, Christ-like, or anything to do with Christ. They worship a god of their own making and created after their likeness. There are ways to handle things, but not your methods.

Hello, Bert!!!!
How you keep getting back in here is a mystery to me!

For stating that he is a Christian? Wow. Then I'm with you guys. That is uncalled for.
I think that men love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil, and that is what is happening today. Coupled with that, Christianity is not always palatable, because we've shown ourselves to be hypocrites and not a steady example of how people perceive Christianity to be. And then, (lol) for a Christian, sometimes church is just a pain in the tail feathers and you'd like to thump a match on it and walk away.
Trust me, it's not hard......Mr. Bert Carrington III Esq. betrays himself with his words
