Bible Note: Why can't christians have a discussion on a serious issue with a non christian without getting all upset about it. I am a Born Again heterosexual married man who works in a work place where 40percent of the men are practising homosexuals and this question is very relevant to me. One time one of these guys asked me if he was going to Hell. Now in Australia where I live, we don't have any, and I mean any of the Christian heritage that Amercians have and I pressume from the comments I have read on this site that the majority of you are Amercian. So the fact that he asked me this question at all blew my mind. I won't tell you how I answered the question but I will say this, the fact that someone has taken the time to join a christian site which they find abhorrant and then ask this question indicates that this person, whilst they may seek to stir things up is also seeking to understand and be understood. Some grace and love should be exercised when approaching these questions. See these times as a joyful opportunity for open honest debate. |
