Subject: Is homosexuality actually forbidden? |
Bible Note: Romans 2:1 Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. Every man who judges, not just the Jew who judges. He uses the Jewish law as a means for demonstration (talking about circumcision being not physical). To make myself clear, I will repeat that homosexuality is a sin. I never put that up to question. What I mentioned was that we have no right to judge homosexuals. Judgement is to be left to God. What should be done instead, is to first find out whether or not the person is Christian. If they are not, then it profits them little to attempt to convince them to stop, if they will continue to live apart from Christ. Our efforts should be instead to love them like Christ does and show them Jesus with all his glory. If the person is a Christian then we should make sure they know the bible's standpoint, and then actively and lovingly encourage them to stop sinning. Overall, I am not here to argue. I have no interest in convincing someone else to believe what I do, because I would rather the person decide between them and God what they believe. My purpose in writing is to perhaps show a fresh perspective to meditate on. Take the things that I write at face value. I am not construing that you are advocating a lack of passion, nor am I constructing that we are doing people favors by undermining the serious nature and blackness of sin. (pardon lack of proof reading. It is too late at night for it to be effective or practical) |
