I have many reasons to bash Alta Brook. But there aren't enough words in the English language to explain how I feel. Alta Brook in one year has changed allot. New Management (Manager) is unethical and homophobic. Unfortunately, she does not realize we live in a new era. Where paying residents are --- men. Equality is one of our amendments. Be careful with reading comments from Management Staff or The Cares Team. Remember we are all of different religions, cultures, colors. And you can not bring your religionist persecutions upon others. I believe in equality for all. And not injustice in there catalog of normality. Also Commercial Water Company is a joke 90 dollars in water.

With love I write; there is one truth and that is the truth that Jesus Christ spoke in the Holy Bible. There is only one way, and few find it; as Jesus tells us in Matthew. I pray the Lord bless and guide you. To give in to the sin of homosexuality is an abomination of God. I love you and again type this with love for you. Have a good day, and pray for the Lord to show you his way, and to help you and all of us to be humble and submit to his ways, he loves us, and knows whats best for us. We have a wonderful God, who sticks closer than a brother. God bless you.

Did God also teach you to be judgemental? Know your place. Jesus did not give you the Right to play GOD nor Jesus.

In my opinion Homosexuality is an abomination in your eyes.
I respect freedom of religion. I suggest you respect freedom of expression.
My religious beliefs have nothing to do with your religious persecution.
My prayer has come true already, to educate the uneducated and the ignorant people like you.

Bible serves as the primary guide on most issues. It is interesting that many Christians take literally the references to homosexual acts, while interpreting other text with great flexibility.
What does the Bible really say about homosexuality? Actually, very little. Most significantly, Jesus said nothing at all. Considering the relatively small amount of attention the Bible pays to the subject, we must ask ourselves why this is such a volatile issue. Other subjects about which the scriptures say a great deal (e.g. judgment, pride, hypocrisy) receive much less passionate attention. Before looking at specific passages, it is important to note that everyone understands the scriptures based on, and through, the light of what they have been taught. The Bible was not written in a cultural void, and many of its instructions and laws are simply classified as less relevant today (e.g. prohibition against eating pork).
Nowhere does the Bible actually address the idea of persons being ---. The statements are, without exception, directed to certain homosexual acts. Early writers had no understanding of homosexuality as a psychosexual orientation. That truth is a relatively recent discovery. The biblical authors were referring to homosexual acts performed by persons they assumed were heterosexuals.
A chief text used to condemn homosexuality is the Sodom story (Genesis 19:1-29), often interpreted as showing God's abhorrence of homosexuality. In the story, two angels, in the form of men, are sent to the home of Lot in Sodom. While they are there, the men of the city “both young and old, surrounded the house - everyone without exception” and demanded that the visitors be brought out “so that we might know them.” (Genesis 19: 4-5) Lot begged the men to leave his guests alone and take his daughters instead. The men of the city became angry and stormed the door. As a result, they were all struck blind by the angels. There are several problems with the traditional interpretation of this passage. Whether or not the intent of the men of Sodom was sexual, the inhospitality and injustice coming from the mob, and that generally characterized the community, were “the sin of Sodom.” (Ezekial 16:49-50, Isaiah 13:19, Jeremiah 49:18; 50:40) Jesus himself refers to the inhospitality of Sodom. (Luke 10:10-13) If the men were indeed homosexuals, then why would Lot offer them his daughters? What is threatened here is rape. The significant point, then, is that all rape is considered horrible by God. The story deserves another reading. It should be noted that not all of the men of Sodom could have been homosexual or there would have been no need to destroy them. If they had all been homosexuals, they would have all died off leaving no heirs. Quite likely, they were a mixed group of evil men attempting to be abusive to people who were different. Ironically, --- people are often the victim of that same sin.
In the New Testament there is no record of Jesus saying anything about homosexuality. This ought to strike us as very odd in light of the great threat to Christianity, family life and the American way that some would have us believe homosexuality is. Jesus saw injustice and religious hypocrisy as a far greater threat to the Realm of God.
The final, and central, message of the New Testament is that ALL persons are loved by God so much that God's Son was sent as a means of redemption from a disease by which we are all afflicted. The cure for this disease cannot be found in any set of actions. Neither homosexuality nor heterosexuality is redemptive. God's love through Christ was given to all people.
Now, leave me alone.
