Starbucks hates Christians and doesn’t want your business

“For this cause God gave them up unto 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 recompence of their error which was meet.” Romans 1:26,27

Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz has a message for Christians everywhere, and it’s a simple one. If you don’t like gay marriage, then sell your shares and get out. And he had no problem saying this as he addressed concerns by Christian employees at the annual shareholders meeting in Seattle.

Forbes reports that at Starbucks’ annual meeting in Seattle on Wednesday a shareholder complained to the chief executive, Howard Schultz, that the company had lost customers because of its support for gay marriage. Last year Starbucks announced its support for Washington’s state’s referendum backing gay marriage, and in response the National Organization for Marriage launched a boycott of the coffee chain.

“In the first full quarter after this boycott was announced, our sales and our earnings, shall we say politely, were a bit disappointing,” said the shareholder, Tom Strobhar, whom the Huffington Post identifies at the founder of the anti-gay marriage Corporate Morality Action Center.

Was Schultz taken aback? Not in the least. He responded, “Not every decision is an economic decision. Despite the fact that you recite statistics that are narrow in time, we did provide a 38% shareholder return over the last year. I don’t know how many things you invest in, but I would suspect not many things, companies, products, investments have returned 38% over the last 12 months. Having said that, it is not an economic decision to me. The lens in which we are making that decision is through the lens of our people. We employ over 200,000 people in this company, and we want to embrace diversity. Of all kinds.”

At that point the audience interrupted in cheers and applause. Then Schultz concluded, “If you feel, respectfully, that you can get a higher return than the 38% you got last year, it’s a free country. You can sell your shares in Starbucks and buy shares in another company. Thank you very much.” More cheers.

First the great fall away, then wars and rumors of wars, followed by the biggest corruption and moral decadence ever seen before, do you still believe that the Rapture is far away?
- Michael
  GOD MUST BE ON LEAVE OF ABSENCE. THE END OF THE WORLD SHOULD HAVE OCCURRED LONG AGO.
  - watchman48
    I have heard many saying, my Grandfather or Grandmother said the End of the world was coming, they have been saying this for the last 100 years or more. I would always counter them by saying, no they have been saying this since Jesus’ resurrection.
    The End of the world couldn’t occurred before the re-gathering of the Israelites which as I see it was in May 1948. As the Six Day War began I believed it was going to happen in 1967 but still many things had to happen….
    The acceleration has begun and you haven’t long to wait now if you are living in USA. We will be the next nation to be destroyed never to rise again… No one, not Pres. Obama nor any other person, nor all our Armed Forces can save USA…. Christ Jesus is our only hope because the destruction of these United States will occur within the very near future… God has given His warnings to at least three pastors that I know of and I tell how this is coming… God has never allowed the destruction of a nation nor it’s people before first sending His warnings hoping the people might turn to Him that He might save them… Google: “watchman48 RFC Newsletter #101” for the details.

I believe that the rapture will occur several years into the future. It probably will occur in the shadow of World War Three, the nuclear war of Ezekiel 38 and 39 (Isaiah 57:1).
- STL
  Mountain Saint: If you believe the Rapture will happen many years in the future, just maybe you’ll missed the Rapture? The Shemitah Cycle has started on Sept. 25, 2014 ending in Sept. 13, 2015. Dow has lost more than 100 points each day. EU stated their in a Recession again, England said there pulling out of the EU by May 2015, Russia and Iran will not trade in dollars no more, China is also pulling away from the dollar currency. Italy is bankrupted.
  Your guessing is way off Psalms 83 war begins first which the Magog War will slide together. All this will happen very soon and ending by Sept. or Oct. 2015, so maybe you should request God for your Salvation and become a Born Again Christian before its too late for you?
  - Tom
    Mark 13:32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
    Respectfully, perhaps it is you who should humble yourself, watch and pray before chiding others who disagree with you on matters that scripture plainly says you know naught of.
- arcticfarmer
  @Mountain Saint- I agree with you. I have learned that STL must be ignored at times because he seems to ignore the fact that Jesus said “no man knows the hour or day”. He is just going to make himself look like a fool if his predictions do not pan out.

That’s funny because Christians are one of the largest customer blocks they have.
- John
  Well I will say for myselfe I do not by from starbucks or any other company that injoys there way of thinking. Once I find out that they are involed in any(ANY) such companies that involves themself=ves in these practices I no longeer waste my hard earned money in there businesses. Nor will I spen my money in businesses that catores to the abortion trend. TO GOD JEHOVAH Jireh guide me always.
Mary O
And just think . . .take that 4-5 dollars a day spent on Starbucks and put it away. Have special little container to put it into. Maybe even an old Starbucks mug. After 30 days you will have $120-150 dollars that could pay for a utility bill. Or by the end of a year you’ll have$1,450 -$1,800; spending money for birthdays and Christmas. And I think this goes down a lot smoother than their cups of coffee. Old Jewish saying, “It’s not the big money that will break you. It’s the nickles and dimes, that add up fast.”
- John
  Great idea Mary. I spend my money at CC-Coffee House here in Louisiana and the coffee even taste better. But, if I find out they do the same thing with my money I spend in there places I’ll stop going there and do what you have done. To save me a lot of money and know that the places I spen my money carores to the ideas that I catores to. OH, I use to stop by starbuck at least 8-10 times a week plus starbucks coffee makes my stomic feel yuck after drinking it where cc’S taste better.
smasaoka
Maybe others are still there, but I now refuse to purchase the coffee either in store, or at any location. If only the gays buy it, the stocks will soon be very low.
Jon B
As for myself and even though I drank Starbucks nearly every day, I am finished. Tim Hortons is my new best friend.
Please forward to all your Christian friends.

Support your local coffee shops and boycott Starbucks. I refuse to give this man anymore of my money. I have said this before when he made a similar statement something like if you don’t support gay marriage then don’t come to Starbucks. Well I didn’t for a long time, but let’s face it Starbucks has really good coffee. I slowly started crossing back over to the dark side hahaha Anyway I am sticking to my guns this time around. I will go to the Coffee Bean or to my local coffee shop instead.

@ Josh ever heard of the prophet Ezekiel?? Almost 2,000 years ago God told him to write down a prophecy that was going to take place in the future. He told him that Israel would become a nation again. He said this would happen in one day and even gave him the exact date May 14, 1948 Guess what happened May 14, 1948???? Boom! Israel became a nation again in one day just like God said it would nearly 2,000 years earlier. This is just one of the many Bible prophecy’s that have come to pass there are too many to list here. The Bible is God’s word so I suggest you study and find out the truth for yourself.
Josh
“Guest”. U and I both know that is a trick of twisted math. U silly fairy tale believers and twist anything u want any way u want. Buts it’s still a childish fairy tale. Religion sucks. Bunch of holier than thou dumb dumbs. Stick ur bibles up ur righteous butts
- John
  Josh, your day is coming very soon, sooner than you think. if I were you I’d start bending my knees every day and just talk to the one that created you to help you understand HIS word.
- Kim
  God is not a religion. I am not religious either. It’s a real relationship with a real God. Religion is man made rules and rituals. God does not want you to be religious and follow man. If no one else has told you this before, he loves you so much, and wants you to come to know Him. No fairytale here. God is for real. Find out for yourself! Praying for you:)
- Susan
  At least have enough intelligence to check the Bible out properly. There’s no fool like the fool who ridicules that which they know little about.
Josh
But if the thing is true, that evidence of virginity was not found in the young woman, then they shall bring out the young woman to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones, because she has done an outrageous thing in Israel by whoring in her father’s house. So you shall purge the evil from your midst. “If a man is found lying with the wife of another man, both of them shall die, the man who lay with the woman, and the woman. So you shall purge the evil from Israel.
Gods loves to kill women with stones. Why don’t u “Christians” still do this? It’s gods word
- Beaumont
  Do you love illegitimacy, Josh?

  Josh—No man or woman has ever been able to KEEP the Law of Moses. The Law was given to EXPOSE the sin of mankind, not GIVE LIFE. Israel could not keep it (Acts 15:10). The Law entered that sin might become “exceeding sinful” Romans 7:13.
  The Lord Jesus fulfilled the law perfectly for “every believer” and died in our place for the sins we have committed. Through His death and shed blood on the cross the Mosaic Law and it’s ordinaces “were NAILED TO HIS CROSS” taken out of the way, which was AGAINST US, and CONTRARY TO US. (Col.2:14) (Eph.2:15). Christians are “FREE FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH.”(Rom. 8:2) We as Christians are SAVED BY “HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS”. (Romans 3:26-27 Romans 10:1-4 Phil 3:9)
  Those like yourself, who “believe not”, you are still under the Law and will be judged by the Law and will be found quilty and will be condemned to the lake of fire. Jesus Christ paid for you sin on Calvary and rose from the dead–why not “believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved?” Which would you rather have?..the wages of your sin,(death and hell) or the GIFT OF GOD which is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord? (Romans 6:23) JUST one step of FAITH and you will have it!
  - Teresa
    Amen and amen. The law of God shows us how holy He is and how sinful and prideful we are. Thanks be to God, Jesus Christ fulfilled the law and imparted to all His righteousness that believe on His name and call upon Him.
- John
  See Josh like I have said before and I’ll say it again, for this reason GOD JEHOVAH JIREH gave HIS only, HIS only begotten SON (JESUS CHRIST) to die for your(you Josh)sins, HE did that for you Josh,so that you(Josh) would not have to live in everlasting torment for eternaty. You see HE did that just for you. So if you think that he is just a faiy tail then you will end up in the firery fernace with out any protection. (burn baby burn).
- watchman48
  Josh – God’s Law which is the Ten Commandments was given just has the Old Testament was written that man might learn that there is no way man can live by God’s Law and be saved… Saved from what you may ask, saved from eternal damnation… The Bible makes it clear that our transgression against only one law is a transgression against all of His Law. Thus all have sinned and fall short of perfection. Absolutely no one can come into the presence of a Holy and Righteous Father God… We who have accepted Jesus as our LORD and Savior are clothed with His righteousness, thus we will enter Heaven to be with Him throughout eternity…
  If there is a God would you not agree that His wisdom and knowledge would have to be far, far superior to even the wises men on earth?
  Man’s knowledge is gained from what he has studied or experienced in life, wisdom is what man does with this knowledge, but true wisdom is given by God. There is nothing in this life that man can say for a certainty, unless he has seen, or experienced directly or indirectly that which pertains to his statements, beliefs, or faith. In other words, for man to say, “I know God does not exist,” just because he personally has not experienced a life changing event is nothing less than pure ignorance.
  Even if a wise man claims he is wise or he displays his degrees from years of studying, without faith in God he still lacks the ability to comprehend or understand the existence of God, because his wisdom is that of the world’s.
  If you say you are wise then please tell me if you can, why should God reveal himself to someone that does not seek Him, or to someone that is not seriously wanting to know him in a personal way, much less to someone that does not believe in Him?
  God has chosen to hide Himself, but to those who fear Him, He will reveal His heart’s desires. In Psalms 91:1 He refers to His place of hiding as the secret place. Only those who fear God will find this secret place, as we are told: The LORD confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them. Psalm 25:14 NIV.
- Kim
  Can’t just pick and choose verses without reading the whole book. Plus you have to understand what you are reading, before you draw a conclusion of what you think it’s saying. Praying God give you revelation of His word, and His word. Understanding, that’s the key.
- Kim
  Have you also read in God’s word where the religious men of old brought a women caught in the act of adultry to Jesus to see what he would do. He told all of them that were without sin to cast the first stone. No one could, and they all left. Do you know what Jesus did, he told her to go on her way and sin no more. She was forgiven of her sin. You must know and understand the old and new testament and the old and new covenant to understand why they did things in the old testament verses now.
- Brenda Murphy
  There will be NO EXCUSES for you come judgment day. The next breath you take might be your last.
  Seek God while he may be found, and call upon Jesus to save your wretched soul. You have sinned against the most High God of Israel, and he will hold you accountable.
  Christ made a way for you…to cleanse you of all sin, and to follow him, until the end…of your life, or the end of the world.
  Choose this day whom you will serve.
  God loves us all, and would have us all to be saved, but we must repent, and change our evil ways…then he will come in and sup with us…and we can have fellowship with the LIVING GOD. Amen!

“If a man seduces a virgin who is not betrothed and lies with her, he shall give the bride-price for her and make her his wife. If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money equal to the bride-price for virgins.
Ur God says it’s good to rape a virgin, as long as u pay the father money. Lol. What a sick demented ahole ur God is.

  So please do not try and change something in the Bible, just to make yourself look good.

ok what about when the bible said nothing would grow in Israel when the Jews were not living there anymore?? Guess what happened??? Yep it became desolate nothing would grow. Then it also predicted that when the Jews returned that it would flourish again and that’s exactly what has happened.

“When a man strikes his slave, male or female, with a rod and the slave dies under his hand, he shall be avenged. But if the slave survives a day or two, he is not to be avenged, for the slave is his money.
God loved slavery. Many times it favorably mentioned in the bible. He even says it’s ok to murder ur slaves as they are money, not humans. Don’t know how u can worship such a ahole
- Guest
  The slavery described in the Old Testament was quite different from the kind of slavery we think of today – in which people are captured and sold as slaves. According to Old Testament law, anyone caught selling another person into slavery was to be executed:
  “He who kidnaps a man, whether he sells him or he is found in his possession, shall surely be put to death.” (Exodus 21:16)
  - Guest
    So if God thinks slavery is ok why did he deliver the Israelites from slavery??
- John
  Josh, so I take it that you favor some other god, maby alli the god of islim. That is a man made god as will. It’s the moon god. Check it out for yourself, plus it was the pagan god.Check it out for yourself and show me any other “god that has predidted anything that has come to reallty. I bet you will find more times than non that the GOD of the Christians,Jehovah Jireh has said many,many,many truths that has and will come to reallty

“Guest”. U need basic education. My dad gave my gave a sticky deposit and then she became pregnant. A make believe God had nothing to do with it. Just like when there was money under my pillow when I lost a tooth. It wasn’t a tooth fairymake believe, it was my parents. God is a fictional story. And an ahole

  Josh if God created the world he has no problem putting a baby in the belly of a virgin. You are putting God in a box

  You’re describing cause and effect, while expressing disbelief in a first cause and a finite end to all things observable.

  If He is fictional…why bother with all the rebuttal?

  Josh did you know that God knew you before you were even born? He knew you while you were being formed in your mother’s womb. He knows you now, better than you know yourself. And He loves you. Google ‘He knew you while you were being formed in your mother’s womb.
  You sound frustrated, angry and unhappy.Happy is the person who honours the Lord, who takes pleasure in obeying His commands. Psalms 112:1 Do you know a Christian person? They have found the answer, the great secret that everyone is seeking. ‘Seek and you shall find’. Seek the answer Josh.

There’s no rate of return that a true Christian would accept for compromise his/her morality. If you are a true Christian, you simply shouldn’t be holding shares in Starbucks–not with a pronouncement like that.

I have to go but I will pray that God would reveal himself to you Josh. Put your trust in Jesus because there will always be people who will let you down but God never will. Your own father may have not been there for you but you have a heavenly father who is perfect and said he would never leave or forsake you. Ask him to show you if he is real and I promise he will in his own timing. God Bless 🙂

  What is it to you, if we believe in fairy tales?
- Susan
  Yes we are sheep, and very proud of it! Because Jesus is The Good Shepherd who takes care of every single one of His flock because He loves them. I can completely rely on Him to take care of me and I follow Him all the days of my life. I don’t try to decide what is right or wrong because I learnt many, many years ago that only He knows. Josh you have no idea of the vast, immense treasures in the Bible that are there for us. You can dig and dig and you’ll never run out of treasure. I am constantly astounded at what the Lord shows me when I ask for wisdom and understanding. Seek and YOU shall find too!

Ron –
I have been in many Starbucks from coast to coast but since my wife pointed out the first message about them supporting the gays we haven’t entered even one… And I loved their coffee, but no more fore me… Yes, it’s not about hurting them financially. It’s about doing being a Christian with integrity and standing up for what is right.
- STL
  Watchman48: What does Jesus tell you about these kind of people? Love your enemy.
  If you like their coffee and don’t mind paying those high cost, go for it. But when you do buy a cup of coffee, thell them your a believer in Jesus Christ and God forbids anyone supporting gays.
  - watchman48
    So, with that thinking I guess you go into the abortion clinic to support abortion for the opportunity to tell the abortionist you are a believer in Jesus Christ and God forbids the murdering of babies.

Starbucks is way overpriced.
Just another great reason not to spend money at Starbucks.

A reason for liberals to establish New World Order is acceptance… OF SINS.
It will soon be illegal for a mother to defend her child against a pedophile because the American Physicians Association classified Pedophilia as a sexual orientation then changed to sexual interest. But sexual interest is the same thing as sexual orientation.
Illegal Immigrants are now called refugees and the liberals want to eliminate all borders and sovereignty of all nations.
All Christians must be ready to suffer and die for Christ in case the Rapture doesn’t come. Anyone who doesn’t accepts that people are “Born that way” are to be shut out of society and even be put reeducated by torture or even be put to death.
One cannot serve two masters and rember what Jesus said that they will hate you for His namesake. We are to deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow Him and not men.
- NeeCeeGee
  Josh we are not appointed to wrath and God is not a liar the rapture will happen just as it says it will . It is not about man made systems of this world demo or repub it soon won’t matter what will count is did you give your life to Jesus while you are alive because when you die it will be too late and Jesus said My kingdom is not of this world . And unless a man is born again he shall not enter into the Kingdom of heaven he must be born of Water and the Spirit

    NEECEEGEE: Are not we should pass the word out to the public about Jesus Christ Salvation?
    Then why not start with STARBUCK’S, go buy a cup of coffee, tell them your a believer in Jesus Christ, and its against God for them supporting gay issues.

      I will tell people about Jesus outside of starbucks I don’t want my finances cursed by giving them money . I would sow my seed in a worthy cause not a cursed cause If I were you I would not do that . God won’t bless mess
      - STL
        NeeCeeGee: Did not Jesus walked into the Temple and cast out the money changers. And His believers should do the same thing, go into Starbuck’s and proclaim Jesus Christ as their Savior and that Jesus does not allow the sin of homosexuality.

      The only way people should go into spiritual battle in this way is if God tells them to I do not go anywhere or do anything without Jesus first telling me to do so . So many are fighting battles that the Lord did not call them to fight , this opens the door for demonic attack . Starbucks is not my calling years ago the Lord led me to not go to starbucks . We cannot force people to accept what we believe a lot of people know they are sinning. When these things occur the bible tells us to shake the dust off of our feet and go reach out to those who will listen. We are not to cast our pearls among the swine. We must use wisdom the only way I would every go in a starbucks is if God told me to and he didn’t

I love your site but I find your homophobia to be very hurtful.
For people that don’t know, many gay people (such as myself) that have grown up their whole lives feeling gay were actually made to feel that way from an early age due to elementary school bullying. If you haven’t noticed, most gay people are more kind & soft-spokened compared to their straight, “superior” counterparts, who are more rugged and combative. So when most children are just 4-12 years old and completely oblivious to society & sexual orientation, and all they hear EVERY day for years on end “hahaha gaywod”, “hahaha fagg*t”, etc., they tend to believe it at such an impressionable age.
I consider this to be one of the most deceptive tricks of the devil. Kids can be even more evil than grown adults. And they know what they’re doing. I feel a lot of potential, kind-hearted gay people who aren’t actually gay (instead made to believe they are that way) are the most true Christians at heart.. but are turned away from the horrible homophobia that plagues that Church today.
Do you think Jesus was a rugged, masculine “tough” person that looked down upon kind & soft-spoken men? No. I’m sure they said the same things about Him as one of the many insults He probably endured during His time on earth.
Give that some thought and think about walking a mile in someone else’s shoes. People like you make people that way.

  nobody who is a Christian is scared of homosexuals why is it that when people disagee with this lifestyle because the bible says it is bad and sin that you all come against Christians. We are simply following what the bible says no one hates you but we do not agree with the sin . because the bible tells us not to agree with this sin . we cannot change or compromise what the Word of God says just because people want us to . We either choose this world or we choose God and The Christian will choose God. Now I don’t hate homosexuals God wants us to love you and not the sin – sin could be anything from stealing a cookie out of the cookie jar . we all are to avoid sin and serve Jesus no matter what it is even adultrey, lust, strife, all stuff of the flesh that is all you are not hated Jesus loves you and believe it or not Christians love you to and want you in heaven with us but we want to tell you the truth in love okay.

  No one makes anyone feel gay.
  It is a feeling you choose to have.
  You come up with all kinds of excuses, but in your heart, you know it’s wrong.
  If I go out and steal something, I can say that I was hungry and needed it, but that still doesn’t make it right.
  We choose what we do in life, no one makes us do it.
  If we act upon our thoughts, we are led away of our own lusts, the Bible says.
- STL
  Jordan: Why does Christians are against the gay issues, because its simple, God says its wrong to do it. If you feel in your mind that you have these feeling being gay, then go by yourself be a hermit than going against God’s law. Its like murder, and a person was taught by his parents its ok to murder others, would it be ok to do so? Murder is another sin God will not allow. The world is falling apart, soon the end of this society will end. Then your going to have to face Jesus Christ. And its His way or no way, but if you do not change your life and stop being gay, then you will face God one day soon, and he will send you to the Lake of Fire to be yormented day and night forever and ever.
  If you truely love Jesus Christ, you should ask Him forgiveness of all sins, then change will happen to you, and read God’s Bible see how He want you to live your life in this evil world.
  You say Jesus soft spoken person. When Jesus first came to earth he came with love and understanding, but He said take up your cross and follow after me, by doing so, your life will change to the better. Jesus has given mankind 2000 years to change and follow after him, that is a forgiving God, but first you need to asked forgivenness of all your sins.
  But when Jesus comes in the 2nd Coming He will not be protrayed as a sheep, He’ll be a Lion and a King and a King has to make decision’s sometimes even it causes Him pain, so do not think He will allow you to enter His Kingdom and still committing your sins against Him.
Jordan
Actually I’m 26 years old and I’m a virgin. So I’m more “pure” than anyone that comes against me.
I do not agree that it is right. I feel uncomfortable seeing two men together, so I understand your point of view. But there are many factors that go into that. It is not a choice, and there are circumstances in people’s childhoods that lead them to grow up the way they are. I know this first hand.
But I also don’t think many things that other people do are right either. I don’t think it’s right for a group of bullies to team up on a single individual and push their books onto the ground, fart in their face, and humiliate them in front of the whole school while laughing & calling them names.
I think that is much less “right” than being gay.
I don’t expect people to understand what it’s like, just as I have no clue what it’s like to be an African-American in America, or a Jew in Israel. I just know that many masculine men do far more cruel & boastful things than other people.
Jesus spoke nothing on it anyway, instead focusing on actual wickedness like murder, envy, pride, & hate.

  Rom 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
  Rom 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
  Rom 1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
  Rom 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
  Rom 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
  Rom 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
  Rom 1:27 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 recompence of their error which was meet.
  Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
  Rom 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
  Rom 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
  Rom 1:31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
  Rom 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

  I know Jordan you were probably abused as a child like multitudes of other people but the abuser is satan . Don’t rebel against God’s word because of this by giving in . Satan manipulates,his victims then he intimidates them to dominate them He got kicked out of heaven and knows he is doomed He is looking to take as many who will follow him to hell with him by lying to them and bullying them into hell with this sin . Jordan don’t fall for it on this blogs are stories of those who turned christian who were in this lifestyle this might help . I will be praying for you

STL, The Shemitah cycle may not coincide with the seven year covenant of Daniel 9:27. We haven’t had the fourth and final Arab vs. Israeli war yet (Psalm 83, Ezekiel 35, Isaiah 17:1 and Ezekiel 29:10-12) and, accordingly, the Prince of Daniel 9:27 hasn’t been able to confirm the seven year covenant of Daniel 9:27 at war conclusion yet…You should know by now that The Great Tribulation won’t start until the “midst” of the seven year covenant, not in the midst of the the Shemitah (Daniel 9:27)…I go by the signs in the Bible, not those you listed in your posting, Russia hasn’t even started forming a confederation with the outer circle of Moslem nations yet (Ezekiel 38). Israel isn’t at rest and living safely and greatly prospering yet (Ezekiel 38;11-13). The rapture is in the future…I believe that The rapture is going to occur in the shadow of World War Three, just before the beginning of the Great Tribulation (Isaiah 57:1). Please note that the seventh rrumpet begins to sound at Revelation 10:7 and sounds at Revelation 11:15, after the Great Tribulation has started and the saints are in heaven (Revelation 11:18)….Just because my Eschatology is not the same as yours does not make me a sinner.
- STL
  Mountain Saint: After the Shemitah cycle ends, and there total choas in the USA and world, as the world financials fall apart, not too many pèople will be worrying about World War 3, without sounding rude to you. But I feel inside of me, and that comes from having the Holy Spirit within me from being Born Again Believer of Jesus Christ the Rapture is just around the corner. You act just as most Jews believe, their still waiting for Elijah to appear and proclaim their Messiah. All of the 7 year Tribulation is God’s Wrath against the unrighteous ones. Its impossible for me to make you a sinner, that’s all up to you. But the Wrath, Born Again Believer’s will not enter into God’s Wrath at all.
  Because we have recieved the Gift of Salvation.
  - Mountain Saint
    stl, the Bible was written about the struggle of the woman and her seed vs. the Dragon and his seed…As for America, we are nothing and there is no mention of the upcoming economic crisis…The only economic crisis I see coming is the one resulting from the nuclear warfare of Ezekiel 38-39 and the apparent rediation and destruction of our crop land. Then it will take a full day’s wages just to buy some bread (Revelation 6:6).
    - STL
      Mountain Saint: Just WATCH AND SEE ITS COMING SOON?
STL
Jordan: Straight people for get easy how they mistreated gay in the early 1970’s and beyond, they did it to harm another person, because they enjoy hurting other.s But believer’s of Jesus Christ, the one’s that became Born Again Believers in Jesus Christ ( John 3:16) did not harm gays, we believed to show them that God was against this sin, but we tried to do it with love and kindness.
But you will encounter Luke-warm Christians that believes they have the right to insult gays, because your sining against God. But Jesus said, that anyone against others cast the first stone against others.
I’m a Jew, by culture only. But I’m a Born Again Believer in Jesus Christ and I follow after Jesus Christ, but I’m still a sinner, but I ask forgivenness of those sins against others to Jesus Christ daily. Jesus is God, and He did speak alot about being homosexual.
Who told you Jesus never spoke about being gay? Did you ever read the entire Bible?
First you need to get right with Jesus Christ asking forgivenness of all sins against Him. Then pick up his Bible and read it, change will come to you. See: John 1:1 and John 1:14

STL, there are “no” seven years of Tribulation anywhere in the Bible… The first half of the 70th week of Daniel 9;24-27 was completed in the First Century by Yeshua’s 42 month ministry to the lost sheep of Israel before he was “cut” off at the cross (Daniel 9:26). And the second half will be completed in the 21st Century by the two Jewish witnesses’ 1260 day ministry (Revelation 11:3-12)…As for the Great Tribulation, it will start in the “midst” of the seven year covenant of Daniel 9:27… The Prince of Daniel 9;26-27 will start the clock ticking when he confirms this “seven year covenant with many” and allows the Hebrews to either build their third temple or erect a tabernacle on the Temple Mount (Ezekiel 42:20)>…As for your economic crisis for America, it’s not in the Bible. In fact during the first half of the seven year covenant of Daniel 9:27, Israel will be at rest and living in safety and greatly prospering (Ezekiel 38:11-13). It wll be so wealthy in gold and silver, cattle and goods that it will attract Russia who will invade the Holy Land just to rob this wealth (Isaiah 17:14 and Ezekiel 38:11-13)…Don’t forget that I was raised in a Pentecostal home before I RECENTLY found out that I was 100% Jewish. The Lord has given me many insights.
STL
Mountain Saint: Every time you comment to me, I always wrong to you, so you have all the answers, it really does not matter to me what you believe, I state my opinion, and I’m only responsible for myself.
I feel the Holy Sprit within me, and He calling me home soon.
I could care less when the Tribulation or Jacob’s Trouble begins, because when it does, I’ll already be in heaven with my Lord Jesus Christ. We are promised my Jesus Christ that we will not enter into the Wrath of the Unrighteous and Jacob’s Trouble is the wrath of the unrighteous. You can call it what ever you desire, but its just only your opinion. And being a Jew has nothing to do with Salvation, as I am Jewish too, but I do not base anything on being Jewish, I base my reasoning of Jesus Christ on His Salvation to me………..
The Holy Spirit is talking to me in my dreams, and He’s telling me that my departure is coming soon.

  Hard to pinpoint just one place since the Bible speaks of the coming tribulation in many, many places. And yes, it’s God’s wrath on those who have offended and rejected Him. On the other hand, He also speaks to His followers and tells us that even though the arrows will fly and fall on both sides of us, not a hair on our head will be harmed.
  .
  The tribulation will be a great separation of the wheat from the tares. And according to the Bible, there will be times and things that we have never seen before nor ever will. i.e. massive earthquakes, famine, disease, crime, hatred, evil, etc.

Mountain Saint
STL, until the Lord comes, I will continue with my research and fact sheets that I am contributing to the different eschatological ministries both here on the internet and elsewhere. Every once in a while I see someone’s eschatology changing to reflect the truth I have discovered and that makes me feel like I have accomplished my purpose in life…Ron Murphy, use your search machine for the answer to your question.

When the face of their company comes out in public with such prejudice verbiage; than it’s time for Starbucks to get a new CEO! I am utterly disgusted!!
This is NOT a debate on religion, or preaching to an ‘unbelieving world’, it’s incorrect to lump a whole group of people in one category, that goes against everything this great nations stands for. He can say, “I’m for diversity” but what he’s really saying is, “My product isn’t good enough for “YOU CHRISTIANS!”
