"Oh ok so your gay, oh ok so you dont think that there is a God, I love you any wayz... I THINK NOT!!!"
i am going to have to take a brief moment here to disagree with you. God loves you, me, the homosexual, the atheist, and whoever else unconditionally inspite of our sins and our concious evil actions.
the fact that christians fail to show that same love is really sad to me.
are they wrong?
biblically yes.
are they in sin? yes.
but so am i, and so are you.
we are not better than anyone else.
we have no right to decide who we can and cannot love, when Jesus has commanded us to love everyone.
besides it is the kindness of the Lord that leads us to repentence. how can the homosexual or the atheist ever see that kindness and that love when we, the representives of that love, never show it to them?
the issue is not tolerance, the issue is love.
in the end it wont make any difference whether or not you had great points about why abortion is wrong. what will matter is whether or not you were there for that person when they needed you.
that is what leads people to Jesus.
so often we miss the point entirely because we are so focused on trivial matters.
yes, homosexuality is a trivial matter.
its no worse than the greed and the pride that is so rampant in the pulpits of america church.
it is just as much a sin and just as vulger to the eyes of the Lord.
no, we are not to be passive and allow ourselves to become frequently used doormats.
but at the same time we are not to walk all over people who have different beliefs than us.
its one thing for the World to not like christians because of what the believe in; because of the exclusive claims of the bible.
its another for people to hate us because we are all a bunch of pretentious jerks and bigots, who think that we are better and more rightous than everyone else.
whatever happened to humility?
whatever happened to gracefulness?
whatever happened to "growing in favor with both God and man"?
i know i am ranting here, but at times i get a little frustrated.
God, i want to represent you truthfully and fully.
if i am wrong here, please correct me.
if i am right, help me to change some hearts.
