I can’t choose for people, or force my values upon them, they must live their own life. I concern myself with my own salvation. I personally think it is a sin, absolutely, but I don’t concern myself with playing God or denying people the right to make their own mistakes.
I hear what you are saying. And I basically agree.
I think part of what we see today, is that homosexuals are so brazen and “in your face” with their lifestyle and behavior nowadays.
Liberals will hate me for saying this, but, it was easier in many ways when homosexuals were “in the closet”. In those days, the entire society didn’t have to confront and deal with and accomodate those behaviors.
You certainly cannot force a person to change, but every soul is precious and we should endeavor to warn people if we see them marching blindly off to hell. And chastise those that encourage them to do so.
Ezekiel 33:2-9 Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul. But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand. So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
Ezekiel 18:30b-32 ...Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin. Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.
