‘Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come! It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones’ (Luke 17:1–2). . . .
In the passage from Luke, Jesus warns against stumbling or offending little ones. He attaches one of the most dire warnings in the Bible to this caution (v. 2). Jesus said a lot of things about children that are routinely ignored today, just as the first disciples tended to ignore them.

“all pro-homosexual arguments are pro-pedophile arguments”
Even though not all homosexuals are pedophiles, all pro-homosexual arguments are pro-pedophile arguments. Name me one that isn’t.

So if it’s sin to have gay sex, sin to look like you want gay sex, & sin to molest kids, is it sin to look like a @newsaintandrews student?

“Circumlocutions & Faggotré”
I have had to explain this before, but let me conclude by saying it again. It is our duty to be transgressive. Prior to the rise of homosexual activism, I had never once in my life taunted a homosexual because of his vice, whether with word, gesture, or epithet. I was not brought up that way, and I simply wouldn’t do it. But the pretense — and that is what it is, pretense — that these speech codes are being designed to address that particular problem is simply bogus.
And since the rise of “gay pride,” I haven’t taunted victims of vice under these new circumstances either. Why would a preacher of grace taunt victims of sin? What kind of ministry goes around kicking sad people?

Compensation & Overcompensation
COMPENSATION
“In psychology, compensation is a strategy whereby one covers up, consciously or unconsciously, weaknesses, frustrations, desires, or feelings of inadequacy or incompetence in one life area through the gratification or (drive towards) excellence in another area. Compensation can cover up either real or imagined deficiencies and personal or physical inferiority.” Wikipedia
OVERCOMPENSATION
“: excessive compensation; specifically : excessive reaction to a feeling of inferiority, guilt, or inadequacy leading to an exaggerated attempt to overcome the feeling” Merriam-Webster
“Soft”
“He talks with a lisp, he is limp-wristed, he walks like Liberace in a pair of skinny jeans, he is really into fabric design, and so on. In other words, sex aside, sexual activity aside, everything about him screams gay. Without any sex at all, and without any sexual activity on the horizon, he is being effeminate. And that is a sin.” — Douglas Wilson Continue reading
#BiblicalRepublic
In a biblical republic like the one I’m creating, pedophiles will be put to death. But until everyone’s doing things my way, I’ll wed them.
— Not Doug Wilson (@KirkCEO) August 16, 2016
I’m a biblical absolutist. That’s why I wed pedophiles who want to father children.
— Not Doug Wilson (@KirkCEO) August 16, 2016
You guys, I am NOT pro-pedophilia. I am just in favor of wedding pedophiles who want kids & urging judges to go easy on them.
