You speak of biblical truth as something immutable. But my understanding is that even within the Catholic tradition, interpretations about what is written and what is deemed to be important has changed over the centuries.
Further to my previous thoughts I should add that maybe the Roamin Catholic church, through this virtue signalling folly, is on its merry way to irrelevancy and the road to perdition.
I'm starting to "flag" under all this stupidity and hypocrisy in so called Christian organisations. What Bible are they reading, if at all, and apparently St Paul ain't no saint in the alphabet Mafia bible.
God bless em all and open their eyes, hearts and minds to their apostasy.
So what happens if teachers and other staff want to put up a Nazi symbol or KKK or something? Will that be acceptable? I would guess not? But hey, they can put up any flag or symbol they want to in their own offices or desks..
'My hope is built on nothing less, than Jesus' blood and righteousness. I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on Jesus' name. On Christ the solid rock I stand. All other ground is sinking sand. All other ground is sinking sand.
When darkness veils his lovely face, I rest on His unchanging grace. In every high and stormy gale, my anchor holds within the veil. On Christ the solid rock I stand. All other ground is sinking sand. All other ground is sinking sand.
His oath, his covenant, his blood, supports me in the 'whelming flood. When all around my soul gives way, he then is all my hope and stay. On Christ the solid rock I stand. All other ground is sinking sand. All other ground is sinking sand.
When He shall come with trumpet sound, oh may I then in Him be found. Dressed in his righteousness alone, faultless to stand before the throne. On Christ the solid rock I stand. All other ground is sinking sand. All other ground is sinking sand.' (Written by Edward Mote)
Those who do not hold fast to the anchor of God's word, but follow false gods, will certainly, without a shadow of doubt, drift away from God and fall into the mouth of destruction.
So the Genesis of the gay flag was not God, it was “Baker and Segerblom’s flag debuted at the Gay Freedom Day Parade in SF in 1978. Each of the original eight colors had their own unique symbolism. Hot pink: sex; Red: life; Orange: healing; Yellow: sunlight; Green: nature; Turquoise: magic and art; Indigo: serenity; and Violet: spirit. The original flag’s hot pink and turquoise stripes were soon removed because of difficulty manufacturing and/or dying the fabric, resulting in the six-color rainbow flag we are familiar with today.”
This confused me a little bit because the gay flag is not a rainbow. As we all learnt in primary school a rainbow has seven colours ROYGBIV and the gay flag only has six. Technically there are actually nine colours in the light spectrum, but “Infrared” and “Ultraviolet” are discriminated against as they are not visible to the human eye. On a sidenote, it’s interesting that infrared is used through laser to measure accuracy (truth) and ultraviolet kills bad stuff (evil), so it probably is best that our colour confused Kaleidoscope friends stay well clear of these colours.
So turquoise (blue) gets excluded by the “Inclusive Rainbow Reich” becouse of its colour and the limited technology ability of the fabric dyeing company to bring the “Magic & Art”. Quite ironic. I feel this blatant discrimination against Turquoise has to Stop!
Wiki tells me “Turquoise is a blue-green color, based on the mineral of the same name. The word turquoise dates to the 17th century and is derived from the French turquois, meaning 'Turkish', because the mineral was first brought to Europe through Turkey from mines in the historical Khorasan province of Iran (Persia) and Afghanistan today. The first recorded use of turquoise as a colour name in English was in 1573.”
So Blue was binned because it was inconvenient and just to hard to truthfully replicate the “Rainbow”.
I am not quite sure what will happen when the Weak Woke find out that the name origin of Turquoise could be easily confused with a festive Christian food that sounds just like a country near Persia, that we are no longer aloud to speak aloud in the main stream media? An outpouring of outrage 🤯 will surely follow.
While Teal has made a bit of a comeback in recent days it is not quite the same as Turquoise as Teal actually is named from a bird and not country that sounds like a Christian Christmas food.
When I see a rainbow 🌈 in the sky I am filled with wonder and awe for God. I am aware that I am a sinner saved by Grace, perfectly broken and deserving of nothing.
I am sure that it is by design and intention that the Ideological Inclusive Exclusionists have used the rainbow (minus the Turkey) to “flip the bird” at God in a challenge to temp his promise to “never to destroy all living creatures because of their sin”
I have this really strange picture in my mind of a professor walking around absolutely covered in flags, stating this is my personal space I will have as many flags as I like! I guess it saves on clothes
My brother did his degree at a Catholic University and has been teaching in a Catholic School for years. He has always hated everything Christian and all he has to do is turn up to whatever the school expects. He has no history of Catholicism from our family and any inclination to believe anything is far away. I worked in a number of Catholic High Schools as a casual years ago and a lot of staff have no interest in Christian things. Sadly, I suspect the Catholic Universities are the same.
I’m of the firm opinion that all this “LGBLT hold the mayo pride” display and demand to “celebrate” their proclivity is not to convince the rest of us of their issues, but to convince themselves that they’re somehow the same as the other 97% of us. So unsure are they of themselves, they need us to celebrate them to make them feel good.
Amen. it s bit of irony that catholic university librarian(s) felt the need to put flags up to make alphabet people feel comfortable. Perhaps they need to look out their bibles and check out what the bible has to say. about this.

Hey James
Further to my previous thoughts I should add that maybe the Roamin Catholic church, through this virtue signalling folly, is on its merry way to irrelevancy and the road to perdition.
G'day James,
I'm starting to "flag" under all this stupidity and hypocrisy in so called Christian organisations. What Bible are they reading, if at all, and apparently St Paul ain't no saint in the alphabet Mafia bible.
God bless em all and open their eyes, hearts and minds to their apostasy.
Hahahaha can this get any funnier?? You always make sense james Mac!
So what happens if teachers and other staff want to put up a Nazi symbol or KKK or something? Will that be acceptable? I would guess not? But hey, they can put up any flag or symbol they want to in their own offices or desks..
this is ridiculous.
Who will stand up for the Truth? *sigh*

This got me thinking about the history of the gay Flag….
The Los Angeles County Department for Mental Health, for fun let’s call them the LACDMH+ had an interesting article on this;

And how many homosexual students are there on ACU campuses? (I refuse to use the other word)....
Funny how the lgbtq etc community want tolerance or is that conformity to what we only believe
Amen. it s bit of irony that catholic university librarian(s) felt the need to put flags up to make alphabet people feel comfortable. Perhaps they need to look out their bibles and check out what the bible has to say. about this.
Excellent!
The lines in the LGBTQWTF+ community flags are straight.
Ironic. How do the librarians know if there are any people from the gay community on campus, oh wait a minute?
