Subject: witnessing to church going homosexuals |
Bible Note: Greetings, Usually I keep quiet, only reading the comments. However, I feel it is my christian duty to respond to this. There is a saying that floats in my mind. "Care for the Sinner, but hate the Sin." While I would welcome a person into my congregation who has a need to hear the word, I would NOT, under any circumstances, promote, tolerate, embrace, or condone any act that the Bible clearly declares as sinful. While I respect science, progress, and learning, I must disagree with the noted Medical and Psychological associations and say that Homosexuality is a choice. Ultimately, a choice is made to participate, whether that choice is made freely or forcefully. If we compromise our beliefs to accept what the Bible, our primary source of knowing the Will of God, mandates as wrong, then what will be next? What is the next compromise we make? In closing, I'll end with another saying that floats in my mind. "Give a mouse a cookie, he'll want a glass of milk." Quvmoh |
