RE: Thank you, PEPSI

It isn't hate for the people, it is hate for the sins being committed.

Pepsi is also discriminating against Christians who oppose this sin and that is the belief of most real Americans.

I cannot believe Pepsi is becoming the NEW TARGET by those wishing to promote HATE. I have ALWAYS been a PEPSI fan, finding out ALL about THIS move on the company's part to promote acceptance and love for our fellow man, makes me want to drink a TOAST in honor of their efforts.
While so many want to hand pick a few scriptures from the Old Testament to condemn, they conveniently overlook passages within the SAME book of the bible as if those no longer apply. I have NEVER been able to figure THIS ONE out. EITHER it ALL applies - or not - so WHICH IS IT?
So, is it BACON and COKE for some of ya? How about shell fish with a Root Beer?
I will look forward to the day that I make my journey to heaven - Jesus and I will sit down together and share a PEPSI!

Oh, Did I mention - GAY HERE....

all i can say is AMEN, we all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, but we have everlasting life through Jesus christ our lord. the bible says if you say you have no sin you are a liar. being gay is wrong , but read the 10 commandments and i am sure everyone will find something they have done wrong.

Standing for what is good and right in the sight of God is a wonderful thing.

Some questions for all of us-

1- Who was the last person you led to Jesus Christ?
2- How long has it been?
3- When was the last time I laid my own selfish desires aside took up my cross and followed after Jesus?

If we want to boycott something, perhaps we should boycott food, television and such, intercede on behalf of those around us, on behalf of the homosexual community, on behalf of the next US President and his role in the next 4 years. People the time is short for us to impact for the Glory of God. Let's seek revival in each of our own lives to be on fire for the Lord Jesus Christ!

King Jesus will reign forever!

The Christian point of view on homosexuality is based solely upon the Bible, the divinely inspired Word of God. A truly Christian standard of ethics is the conduct of divine revelation, not of statistical research nor of public opinion. For the Christian, the Bible is the final authority for both belief and behaviour. Homosexuality is an illicit lust forbidden by God. He said to His people Israel, "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination" (Leviticus 18:22). "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them" (Leviticus 20:13). In these passages homosexuality is condemned as a prime example of sin, a sexual perversion. The Christian can neither alter God's viewpoint nor depart from it. Any evil condemned in Scripture cannot be honoring to God. Homosexual religious leaders attempt to smooth over the breaks and rough places with Christian terminology so that a euphoria predominates, but God is not in it. A truly born again person, who loves and understands the Bible as God's revelation to him, will not condone an evil that God condemns. "If ye know that He is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of Him" (I John 2:29). "Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are His. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity" (II Timothy 2:19). Practicing homosexuals are engaged in a divinely forbidden evil. In Romans 1:26-31 twenty-three punishable sins are listed with homosexuality leading the list. Paul wrote, "For this cause God gave them up into vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet" (Romans 1:26, 27). These verses are telling us that homosexuals suffer in their body and personality the inevitable consequences of their wrong doing. Notice that the behaviour of the homosexual is described as a "vile affection" (1:26). The Greek word translated "vile" (atimia) means filthy, dirty, evil, dishonourable.

Homosexuality must be accepted for what God says it is-- sin. Some homosexuals will attempt to circumvent the plain teaching of the Bible with the insipid reply that they are the way God made them. There is not the slightest bit of evidence in Scripture to support this false concept. God never created man with a so-called "homosexual need."

We must always keep before us the fact that homosexuals, like all of us sinners, are the objects of God's love. The Bible says, "But God commendeth His love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). Jesus Christ "is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world" (I John 2:2). The Christian who shares God's love for lost sinners will seek to reach the homosexual with the gospel of Christ, which "is the power of God unto salvation, to every one that believeth" (Romans 1:16). As a Christian I should hate all sin but I can find no justification for hating the sinner. The homosexual is a precious soul for whom Christ died. We Christians can show him the best way of life by pointing him to Christ. Our Lord said, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16:15). We are obligated to take the gospel to all.

You are supporting the same thing. The example you gave was that of boycotts by homosexuals against those who did not support them and you criticize that as acting like the SS, and cramming their ideology down our throat, and going their way or die. But then after you say all that, you support Boycotts against those who support Gays. So why are their boycotts these evil SS tactics but Christian boycotts are not? Can’t you see the Double standard their?
And apparently you missed the point with the Nazi Germany because many of the people killed were homosexuals. There is no link between the mass executions then, and the Homosexual movement, so stop comparing the two.

Reply to: sp141278
Maybe you should ask the people who were fired for voting for marriage between a man and a woman not two men or two women. I doubt they think those activists are NOT acting like the SS. These people want to cram their ideology down our throats with no room for dissent. Their motto seems to be our way or die. Well maybe just no job or income or means to eat. By siding with them you support them at the very least tacitly. How many people stood by and did nothing while 25,000,000 of their fellow Germans were brutally executed. You may be next but we won't be there to stand up for you.

Are You Serious???

sharing an opinion is not causeing young gay people to kill themselve's. No matter what the topic, christians are portrayed as the bad people who cause hurt to people who are living a life style that is contrary to Gods word. Aids kills a lot of people too.

Reply to: asterix
What you people don't seem to understand is that all your anti-gay rhetoric is causing young, gay people to kill themselves. That doesn't make you the least bit ashamed? Thank God for companies like Pepsi.

And Pepsi wouldn't need to give money to gay charities if LGBT people had equal rights and did not experience discrimination in the work place.

I'm now going to buy some Pepsi. WOOO!
