I couldn't disagree more with this article. While homosexuality is a sin, there is no reference in scripture that homophobia is a sin. The dictionary describes homophobia as the:
Now I'm not sure if any Christian has an "intense hatred or fear" of homosexuals. Homosexuality is sin and is condemned in scripture. This isn't intense hatred or fear; it is merely fact. And if you were a Christian coming out of homosexuality, then you would hate that very sin.
According to scripture there are degrees of sin that acts as the barometer of the nation's health. A nation that embraces homosexuality is a signal to believers that the storm is coming. It is the dead canary in the mine. And, since many nations right now seem to be rushing towards this, one would think that Christians would wake up and smell the coffee. Especially since many of the homosexuals want nothing more than to attack the church. Christians can be stupid.
What comes across in this piece is the "we should love the sinner and hate the sin" attitude. However noble this gesture may be, it is not biblical. Homosexuality tells us that God has given them over to their own devices. Granted a few MIGHT be saved but she's living a pipe dream. She needs to read Romans.
Rom 1:25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
Rom 1:26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature;
Rom 1:27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
