Funny that someone who describes themselves as a "humble human struggling through life," should be so thin-skinned as to retort with angry ad hominem attacks on those who happen to differ. It is the height of arrogance and, yes "intolerance."

Arrogance because you are refusing to call sin what God calls sin.

You are correct that God will judge each of us - and one of the things we will be judge for is our obedience to what is good, for we read: "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness."

Did you catch that? God will judge us if we pretend that "evil" is "good." That is exactly what we do when we excuse and defend homosexual behavior.

If "getting along" with relatives is more important than standing for God's truth (and no, you are not required to be perpetually "in your face" with your gay relatives), then we will be judged for our failure to confess God's holy moral standards.

Question: whose opinion is most important to you: that of your gay relatives, or God? It is understandable to be afraid of what others might think of us if we stand for the truth. However, we do well to heed the warning of Jesus: "If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels...”

Note that our Lord speaks of being ashamed of Him in the midst of an "adulterous and sinful generation." Let us not fail to give witness to the truth because we are afraid of what they might say or think about us.
