Jesus came to me in a near death exp. when I was 12. I had some visions at 35, now I'm 49 and I finally hear Him clearly! He said to me:
"All this concern over sin and evil saddens me. If you focus on sin and evil, you will see and reap sin and evil. I dedicated my life to teaching that the old covenant is dead. What the Pharisees taught was to keep you oppressed. As I have said, the letter of the law kills but the spirit gives life. To him that it is sin it is sin, but to him that it is not if it harms not, it is not. The law of God is written in the hearts of men, not in the Koran, Torah, not in the Bible. If you lack wisdom ask. Do as I did, look within for the Holy spirit. If the letter, the word, if the law, if my body, my blood was the path to salvation, than all would already be dust. If your right hand causes you to sin, then why haven't you cut it off? Why have you not plucked out your eye? Because just as you cannot be perfect with two hands or eyes, you will never be perfect with one.
What does your conscience tell you? Are your motives and intentions those of love and compassion? Then darkness cannot touch you. I am the son of Man...as are you. We are One. Do not worship me! I am not an idol, nor is my cross. I did not come that you would worship me, Jesus, but The Holy Spirit who dwells within me, and also within you. I was merely the first to expose the dangers of doctrine, the evil of politicizing spirit by creating a standard, a set of steps one must take to be loved without judgment. I stood up to those who could not tolerate the idea that God was not in the Torah, not in the Temple, but within them, and that they were in Him…that they and God were One as all is One. How can that which is imperfect be perfect…only All is perfect. No word, no matter if said by Moses or David or Mathew or Ruth…no word of any volume is less than written by God, or more than written by Man, and subject to the scrutiny of one's God-given mind. He who is greater than all imagining cannot be summed up by the words of anyone. Learn from the wisdom in the word but do not worship or exalt those words. I went to the Father so we could be One. We are all but drops in the same Ocean. Love thy Lord God with all your heart, mind and soul. Love your neighbor as yourself. Let compassion be your guide. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone and nothing will separate you from God."
Writings referring to men lying together as an abomination were referring to the abomination of male-male rape, a practice widely accepted to proclaim victory over one's captors in battle in ancient Babylon. After the rape, they would urinate on them, truly abominable. Much different than love. It's not about the act, it's about who you fall in love with. Could you fall in love with a member of the same gender or commit to be alone the rest of your life? What if you woke up tomorrow and it was illegal to marry the opposite sex? All TV, radio etc. portrayed only same-sex relationships? What if you could lose your job, your friends and family if they found out about your spouse? That is what it's like to be gay. I've been a gay Christian for 30 years and I've never felt closer to God. What would Jesus do, forget about contemporary Christianity, Religion, doctrine...Jesus did not have his teachings written, they were written in response to Roman decree to get protection from persecution 40-60 years later. The Truth...and deep down in your heart you know what it is and it's different for all of us. Trust your heart, for therein lies the Truth and it shall set you free.
Thanks for listening...be content.
