Subject: Homosexuality and Christianity? |
Bible Note: Yes, God is a God of amazing love. Romans 5:8 tells us that God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Because of the Cross of Christ, He's already paid for ALL the sins of all the world. It's no longer a sin issue. God's love for US isn't really the question. It's man's love for HIM that ushers in the great separation. You see, man cannot say with his mouth and mean it that he "loves God" if at the same time he's proud and unrepentant of his sin. Does God still love this person? Of course. But you can't hang on to sin and the Cross at the same time. Believers in Christ are to show and share His great love as well; not judgment or condemnation. That goes for homosexuality as well as ALL other issues that keep the unrepentant heart from God. It's a matter of the condition of the human heart toward what God has done. Not a matter of sin. The issue is what we do in RESPONSE to the great love God has already shown us. Not IF He loves us... Accept it, receive it and let us change us to be conformed into His likeness, or reject it and keep our grasp on our sin. Only two choices we have. Abounding in His grace, XRing |
