Root your argument in Scripture and you will never take it personally when your argument is opposed. The mouths of false prophets must be silenced or stopped. (Titus 1:11) They have overthrown entire houses by teaching things that they should not, for dishonest gain.
An article written here (She Needs Zilch) was met with cries from parents’ exhibiting support for their gay children. Although they claim their children were virgins, not ever being with man or woman, what they actually expressed were their own hidden gay secrets. Remember, your child has not been with anyone intimately yet. At least this is what you wrote. This article is not taking one position or another against any group, other than those who oppose the Kingdom of God. If your argument is not rooted in Scripture, we are not sure why our article offended you.
The freedom of religion and speech is only meaningful in debate when people live in the same truth, experience, or reality. When they do, that is in fact reality. When they do not, it is called chaos. We pray people would show the same level of concern for the strategies being employed by evil empires seeking to rule the world. They are controlling media, news agencies, and now war, worldwide, in their quest to do their father’s work. False prophets are playing their role in these schemes. (1 John 4:1) There are many false prophets in the world.
We offer the following: Place your misguided anger on the false teachings that led to your lack of understanding. Or ask God for understanding and HE will open your mind through HIS Word. Lastly, there is only one (1) fight at a time, per article. We make a point that might side with men, and our next article may side with women. Rest assured, any argument being made here is rooted in Holy Scripture. Can you say the same? Not every subject requires a response from you. It is a show of maturity when you hold your peace and let the Lord fight your battles. When the Word goes forth, it either hits you for correction or is deflected based on your understanding or reality. The Word of God either corrects us, or it is deflected by our teachings.
“A person whose power derives from their wealth” is called a Plutocrat. Instead of meaningless quarrels about small things, direct your focus toward the Sorcerers of today’s world. They have distracted you with the pursuit of pleasure, especially pleasure that brings disastrous consequences. As you travel down primrose-path in the pursuit of pleasure, Plutocrats are using their money to buy power. This power is being used to protect their wealth. Thereby causing discourse, and insulating them against resentment, while labeling themselves as the solution to the very problem that they are!
People who overthrow whole houses with their teachings must be stopped. Especially when their arguments are not rooted in Scripture, and are for dishonest gain.

Titus 2:6-8
New International Version
6 “Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled. 7 In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness 8 and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.”
Titus 2:6-8
King James Version
6 “Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
7 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
8 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.”
Titus 2:6-8
Living Bible
6 “In the same way, urge the young men to behave carefully, taking life seriously. 7 And here you yourself must be an example to them of good deeds of every kind. Let everything you do reflect your love of the truth and the fact that you are in dead earnest about it. 8 Your conversation should be so sensible and logical that anyone who wants to argue will be ashamed of himself because there won’t be anything to criticize in anything you say!”
