The Biblical testimony is clear: you must choose: Feminism or Christianity. You can't have both. How should we think about those who claim to be Christians but still support homosexuality? We should understand that they are lost and pray that God will grant them repentance. To do any less is to refuse to affirm what Scripture teaches.

"How should we think about those who claim to be Christians but still support homosexuality?"
Oh, I dunno. But considering how the Church of England - the basis of modern-day Protestant Christianity - last year in the House of Lords* dropped it's opposition to same-sex marriage (oh, and homosexuality has been legal here in the UK since 1967), thus the S-SM bill passed unopposed in Parliament, you tell me, Timmy Pukeman.
*- And the House of Lords - with a number of C-of-E bishops & archbishops who are Life Peers - is the highest court in the land; above the High Court (Old Bailey). I refer you to Romans 13:1-5, Timmy, so enjoy your paradox.
"Hey Dukie, most of society has already made their decision on that."
Timothy Dukeman, in the voice of Duke Igthorn from the Gummi Bears: "DON'T CALL ME DUKIE!!!"
The Biblical testimony is clear: you must choose: short hair or Christianity. You can't have both. How should we think about those who claim to be Christians but still support cutting your hair and beard? We should understand that they are lost and pray that God will grant them repentance. To do any less is to refuse to affirm what Scripture teaches.
Fixed that for ya, Timmy-boy, free of charge.
It's not either-or dummy. Apart from some spurious forged Pauline books/passages, early 1st Century Christianity was quite proto-feminist. Christianity started as a kinder, gentler, pro-woman reboot of Judaism.
Yeshua knew that The Demiurge had destroyed his beloved Jewish faith beyond recognition, so he rebooted it. Jesus was the New Moses. John The Baptist was the New Elijah. The 12 Apostles were the New Twelve Tribe Patriarchs and so on....
They still believe in Jesus's divinity, but they think different things.
Are you saying that we should all think the same in a Big Brother-type scenario?
"....you must choose: Feminism or Christianity."
To quote the elderly Grail Knight from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (he said it about nazi stooge Walter Donovan, I'm saying it about Timmy-boy):
"He chose....poorly".

But there is no God, only feeble-minded, ego-maniacs like Dukeman for whom the thought of being given a special regard from an invisible cloud lounger is intoxicating. Of course, that invisible cloud lounger is really just the loony tunes in his head.
Ok I'll choose feminism
Feminism or Christianity. You can't have both.
Sure you can. Just like you can have Ayn Rand and Christianity, rich tevevangelists and Christianity, the Vatican and Christianity, capitalism (including coveting) and Christianity, pogroms and Christianity, bigotry (hating your neighbor) and Christianity, judging and casting the first stone and Christianity, and not giving away all of your money to charity and Christianity. I can't even think of one person off the top of my head who actually followed Christianity to the letter and feminism is hardly the most egregious violation of the Bible done in the name of Christ.

It seems like the last few years this antifeminism thing has really taken off. What happened that this suddenly became such a sore point?
Women dared to ask for equal pay for equal work and birth control covered by insurance just like Viagra is now.

A little something to make Timmy Pukeman's head go all 'splody:

As Capt. Jean-Luc Picard says, 'There are always other options'. He's ordered by Admiral Janeway - in "Star Trek: Nemesis" - to take the Sovereign-class USS Enterprise , cross the previously verboten Neutral Zone, to the Romulan homeworld, so if this future scenario posited by Gene Roddenberry is very much equal , then...!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
