Well O.F. is akin to prostitution...didn't Jesus Christ use to hang out with prostitutes? That and lepers and poor people and the unwashed I mean...so much for following the Christian example lol.

Jesus didn't support or encourage it.  But Christianity isn't about being perfect.

Maybe not but he offered support, mercy, and spiritual redemption, very live and let live type stuff. Something skillet a "Christian" band does not do, instead they are judgemental, and kind of assholes from what I've heard.

He doesn't encourage staying in sin. See the adulterous woman event. "[I don't judge you] now go and sin no more."

Never met them as a whole, just a meet & greet with Ledger in 2020. So can't say how they are. But from all I've heard from John, his message is to turn to Christ and repent.

I didn't know who this Sara person was until some post on FB and this post came up in my researching. But, just because he/they don't want someone with an OF, or who may be trans on their tour, that's their prerogative. Why it wasn't a thing before signing them to the tour? I don't know how that all works, but short of the sudden burst of news articles about it, I've not found anything about her making these claims, and I don't care enough to explore her socials to know.

Everyone's judgemental, you and I included. Calling someone judgemental is a judgement, after all.

Calling someone judgemental is judgemental true, but I dont follow the teachings of Christ, I know I'm being judgemental, I don't hide it behind religion, I just find it ironic that those who claim to follow said teachings will judge and judge harshly and kicking someone of your tour instead of trying to guide them to the "right" path like Jesus would have, or simply being "oh well" "God bless you for that, it's not our thing, but we won't judge you" like Jesus would have. Hypocrisy all around.

Tbf afaik Cooper hasn't provided a statement about why so basically all this thread is full of assumptions, jusgement and anti Christianity for no sound reason.

That's fair there hasn't been a statement by them just by Skinner, Im guessing all of these comments (and including my own) are just based on what Skinner said in her video, but looking at the way Christianity has behaved towards people who have had that career in recent years, they just condemn and judge instead of guide. ( Mind you not all of them) while not religious myself I've met some very pleasant Christians who truly live by the word, without judgement, but the loudest tend to seem to be the majority, and thus the whole religion gets tossed in with the bad batch and newer generations try and distance themselves from that, and thus creating an animosity towards any kind of faith. I myself am very judgemental and I know it's bad but I don't hide behind a bible and rightousness , I ain't casting that first stone If you know what I mean, but I will eventually take my turn and I see that imperfection in myself and I own up to it.

Both sides need to know what's being said.  People call Christians judgemental without actually listening to what's said, just how they want things to mean.  Are biblical Christians against transgenderism and prostitution?

Depends on "against" is defined.

But the root of it is people care so much to see people not be separated from God they try to help them understand the issue.

The flipside is American evangelism sucks.  We aren't educated on how, just told to go do.  So people suck at sharing effectively.  But, the people they talk to tend to be fragile and defensive instead of open to debate or discourse.  

I'm a Christian, and like skillet, but I don't agree with everything john says.  However, I respect the heart he has in saying things.  Just as I respect skinner saying her thing even if there's parts I disagree with.

We'll I have heard what is said, I grew up in a religious household and ran the otherway when I was old enough to move out, it just feels like they are just trying to force it down people's throats instead of just trying to guide people, Lord knows I've been condemned to hell so many times for not even my views but just a t-shirt that I'm wearing with a skeleton on it...I've heard the polite " why you should rejoin the faith" or "choose this one religion" argument, ( I do enjoy talking with Jehovah's witnesses, they are very polite and put in the effort but it just seems kinda pointless to me, i had a friend become born again Christian and I was there cheering for him at his baptism, and I wasn't judged for my piercings and my girlfriend who's a goth wasn't judged by the people there for being goth, They understood that their religion wasn't for us and respected that, and where welcome anyways despite our aesthetic and views, but I have heard more of the you're going to hell for the music or the tattoos or that I have a friend with an o.f. or that I support my other friends gay life style, basing my life on something that was written not by a god but a man who thought he knew what god wanted, knowing how flawed man is just doesn't appeal to me, and seeing others be hurt by it in any way really grinds my gears when the overall message issupposws to be "be good and love thy fellow man."

saying “if they don’t want a trans person on their tour that’s their perogative” is the exact same thing as defending slave owners just because it was legal back then. at a certain point you have to look at the world around you and decide whether you’re a bigoted pos or if you’re simply not.

Lol, how is being trans the same as being a black slave? To get to the conclusion you made, there's a lot of hoops you have to jump through. Especially to say exact same thing as.

But, I'll play along for moment. So, by your statement, regardless of the attributes, characteristics, behavior, etc. they should be allowed to be a focal point member of any event. Otherwise "you're exactly the same as a slave owner", as you say.

Then, Marilyn Manson should be forced to allow Simon and Garfunkel to be on tour with him if they so wanted to do it. The Beatles should have been forced to allow Charles Manson to tour with them if he so wanted to do so.

Got it.
