Where does he stand on Abortion and Homosexuality?

Can a Christian be a political-liberal?

I'm not sure where he is on those issues, but I suspect it is fairly close to where I am (and I am no liberal):

Abortion and sodomy are both sins. As I understand scripture, though, ALL sin is equally repugnant to God. So visitors to a sodomite bath house and the abortuary are condemmed in God's sight, but so is the man looking at a woman he is not married to with lust or the woman envying her neighbor's home.

Christ died for the abortionist, homo, adulterer, and coveter just the same as he died for a lying, thieving druggie like me. That is what I tell my lost family which includes people that have had abortions, adulterers, sodomites, all manner of sinners.

There is a time and place for preaching "You're gonna burn for that" and a time and a place for saying "God loves you". The best evangelists speak those two truths equally and appropriately.

I am not a good evangelist. I suspect that "liberal" christians are less comfortable with condemming and emphasize God's forgiveness. A lot of times, me included, other Christians are outraged over those that engage in, facilitate, and encourage others to sin. But the Holy Spirit through Paul let us know in Romans Ch.1 that this is part of human depravity too, so we should not be surprised. Our reaction is to try and prevent, deter, and stop sin. The reaction of others might be to reach out and not condemn. Which one is right? Probably both in equal measure and at the proper time. As another poster mentioned, many christians that work with extensively with the poor are often liberals.

Well said and thanks for the response. I will just watch and see and not condem cause thats not my duty.

Respectfully, may I just say that that is the only thing I disagree with you on. Excellent post.

While I am VERY comfortable calling sin by name and working against it, I am not comfortable being harder on others than I am on myself. I am completely unworthy of salvation period.

The ONLY way I am saved is because Christ loved me enough to take on the natural consequences of my sin, by choice. Amazing Grace.

I will honor that gift in everyway I possibly can.

and a time and a place for saying "God loves you".

Amen!!!

God bless you...
