That’s because church people are so intolerant, so judgmental, so unwilling to accept that homosexuality is on a moral par with heterosexuality.
Well, in a way, it is. It’s on a moral par with adultery, lying, murder, and the other litany of sins. Sin is sin - there’s none worse than the other. Any blemish, any discoloration, any SIN, keeps you from God.
Unless you’ve accepted that Jesus paid for those sins, and then, and only then, are you not under the punishment for those sins.
It’s really simple - which is the hard part to rationalize; why did God make it so simple, when He’s so complicated? Why am *I* so complicated, why is THIS WORLD so complicated, when God made it so simple?
Mark 10:15 (New King James Version)
15 Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.”
Luke 18:17 (New King James Version)
17 Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.”
We have all come short of the Glory of God.
IMHO, we are to love the sinner, hate the sin. We must keep them in our hearts, and help them understand, if we can.
God gives us a lifetime to change our hearts. We must do the same for them.
He should tell the gay people that he has converted away from homosexuality and finds it to be physically and morally repugnant. He will soon see how intolerant they are.
Wonder how many rants against “breeders” he had to endure and how much hysteria about “intolerant Jesus believing heterosexuals” who “want bedroom police” he overheard.
I let liberals rant in my presence neither joining in with commentary or even head nodding and you wouldn’t believe the things they’ll let fly.
Exactly, DIARIST. If you follow Christian doctrine (and let Jesus save you-the Holy Spirt lead you to repentence that comes through a real faith in Jesus death and resurrection) then you believe the word of God.
Homosexuality is merely an outward sign of a heart not right with God.
