It seems that our society, taken as a whole, believes that Christians’ disapprovel of homosexual behavior translates ineluctably into disapproval (many, for diverse reasons, equate that with “hatred”) of people that are homosexual.
Often I see in print (letters to editors, mostly) the charge that refusal to approve of homosexual behavior means failure on the part of Christians to love others, the clear implication being that if we love a person if follows that we must approve of what that person does, However, that principle, formulated in such fashion, seems to be applied, by liberal, anti-Christian critics, only in the case of homosexual “others.”
“It seems that our society, taken as a whole, believes that Christians’ disapprovel of homosexual behavior translates ineluctably into disapproval (many, for diverse reasons, equate that with “hatred”) of people that are homosexual.”
That may be because of the way it is sometimes expressed.
