Subject: Homosexual are picked on in the church? |
Bible Note: Hi journey_me, Well, you are entitled to your opinion, my friend:-) The comparison is valid in my estimation because scipture does so! Might I add that your bias shows through in the attitude that one can be a practicing homosexual and a Christian! How so? On what scriptural basis- if the Word of God is truly authoritative! Your view more solidifies the cultural, Media-bias that is prevalent in our country. Since you claim that we "apply and mis-apply scripture to suit our preferences", can you provide and demonstrate from scripture your argument? While I agree that we need to bring people to Christ- for salvation and a changed life- it is not to rubber-stamp the lifestyle. Changed lives is the goal. Let me give you an example: I was a pretty hard-core, committed recreational drug-user for several years BEFORE I came to the Lord. I no longer engage in those activities.
