Bible Question: being a Christian is it wrong to have a homasexual couple family to your home for get to gathers i feel very uncomforable to do this |
Bible Answer: Posha, According to 1 Cor 5, if a professing christian is a homosexual we are not to even have a meal with them. However, I take 1 Cor 5 to mean that if an unbeliever is a homosexual then we ARE able to eat with them. The idea here is that with those who are professing to be christians, they are giving the world a false idea of christianity and the gospel, therefore our deliberate seperation is part of preserving both the church and the gospel. On the other hand, I bring to your mind what Doc is so often reminding us of. There is a difference in what we may do and what we ought to do. We may eat and spend time with an unbelieving homosexual couple, but should we? If our time is being spent to build a bridge for the gospel then in my opinion this is a good thing. Yet if we are just hanging out and having an ongoing friendship with no context of striving to bring them to christ or to show them their sin, then I would suggest it could contribute to the problem of confusing the outside world what the church is suppose to be. Not suggesting every encounter with them should be you challenging them, but I think if their conversion is the dominant desire in your heart it will look different to all involved. Hope this helps. In Christ, Beja |
