Subject: Homosexual are picked on in the church? |
Bible Note: Hello journey_me, You are the one who initially posed the question. Without trying to be contentious, it appears to me that you do not like the answers. You are being far too broad in painting the Christian Church as attacking gays. That's not always the case. We have gays at our church. We love them but do not endorse or make excuses for their lifestyle! We also have unmarried couples at our church. We do the same for them. They are loved and welcomed. We can and should love the sinner, but hate the sin. The problem with Homosexuality in general, is that they do not see the practice of as sinful. Denying the truth will not open them to the Saviour- Who alone can change them! One must first recognize that they are indeed a sinner, and need to be saved from its' consequences. Christian "Homosexuals" have- by and large- attempted to redefine their behaviour and call evil good (Is. 5:20). That, in my estimation is the core of the issue to which you are seeking answers to. Am I getting closer on track with you? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
