Bible Question: how can we minister to homosexuals rather than tellin them they are going to hell or avoidin the issue i hop im clear |
Bible Answer: Tyboswell, I think you have stated your question clearly. And our mission on earth has been stated w/equal clarity as well. We have been called the salt of the earth, (Mat 5:13) and in (5:14) the light of the world. And further, our Lord urges us on: What I tell you in darkness, speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, preach ye upon the housetops. (Mat 10:27) And Luke re-iterates to us, For so hath the Lord commanded us, [saying], I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth. (Acts 13:47) My prayer is that you will be empowered to shine as light in this dark world into which we have been born. Now, ministering to homosexuals is such a broad scope of commentary, yet it is hard to carry on meaningful dialogue without projecting a feeling of superiority, or the other person even feeling belittled or attacked. This, because it is hard to find points within this subject upon which both sides are in agreement, and besides, what fellowship does darkness have with light? One tact that I have been trying to formulate in a non-threatening way is the fact that homosexuality in no way can be natural, The person, male or female could not possibly have been born that way, because God created man and woman for the propagation of the human species. So therefore, since there can be no offspring from the joining together of homosexuals, this would eventually lead to the end of our species. |
