Bible Note: Dear Quvmoh, Thank you for the fine post. If you have done a search with "homosexual" on the forum, you will notice that over the years the topic has been discussed many many many times. I always wonder why people (even some Christians) continuously try to reasonalize the behaviour with different views (e.g. psychology, science, humanism, etc.) of the secular world despite there is very clear scriptural teachings against it. People in my society say that "If you truly love me, you should accept what I do and who I am." I don't know if it is the same as in your society. If this is the kind of love we want from our God - it is disastrous. When we speak out that homosexual is wrong, immediately, we are criticized and charged as being self-righteous, unloving and judgmental. Jesus said that from the fruit, you can tell the tree. Same as every Christian, when a gay converted to Christ, he/she has to bear fruit. We could never be perfect in our earthly life, but we can strive to bear fruit. In Galatian, the fruit of the Holy Spirit does not state : perfect or holy...but SELF-CONTROL. Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, Gal 5:23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Just to share a bit of my view. Thank you for your patience :-) Shalom Azure |
