Do I:
a) bash them with scripture and tell them they are going to hell? And never have opportunity to talk or work for them again.

b) be nice do my job and move on?

I already know what I will do...it's what I always do. It is be nice and move on but what say you?

One time I was doing a big job for a gay couple and one morning I saw them eating cereal and I swear on a stack of bibles that I innocently asked them if they were eating fruit loops. As the words were leaving my lips I knew what was coming but I couldn't stop it in time. Fortunately my son and I had that very same thing for breakfast that morning.

Me personally......I would have witnessed to them about Jesus without condemning their homosexuality......there is always a way to tactfully preach Jesus without condemning the sinner.....

I'm actually a subcontractor on this job. Would probably make my customer mad if I said something that wasn't welcomed by his customer.

a) Follow your heart: "Mat 7:12 Therefore, all things whatsoever that you wish that men would do to you, do so also to them. For this is the law and the prophets. " (Luk_6:31)

b) Follow your mind: (Mat 10:8 Cure the infirm, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You have received freely, so give freely.)

If you tell gay-pride people you are a christian in a work situation, they often try to construct a victimisation situation just to get back at the projected gay bashing groups.

When I have worked with gay people I just deal with them as I do everybody. Sinners are sinners no matter there particular variation, and they often do not get treated as equals, as normal ordinary people, which is part of the gospel.

I once had a homosexual supervisor.
He never mentioned it, never brought it into the workplace, just did his job very well.
I did the same.

As well as lieth within you live peaceably with all men. I have had business transactions with folks who were sodomites. I cannot discriminate against them but they are entitles to purchase the services I supply like anyone else in the world. I sell products to adulterers and whoremongers without any qualms save for their spiritual condition. Had folks tell me they are atheist and I still fulfilled my responsibility to my employer and my Savior.

What ever thy hand findeth to do, do all heartily as unto the Lord.

2 Cor 5:16~~New American Standard Bible
Therefore from now on we recognize no one according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer.

We recognize all people as one whom Christ died for.

Be nice and do your Job.,,,,,,no doubt in my mind that is what you do.

AND ,I have found this very interesting principle in business. I would rather work for a gay person than most of the Christians and churches I have worked for.

This is truth that isn't considered when a person spiritualizes every aspect of life......we get to enjoy doing things and we get to have freedom to be expressive with our unique personalities to have life to the full joy that Jesus brings. I wish that it was more complicated than that but it just aint. Thinking that we can be like Jesus.. when in truth we are BEING MADE in His likeness and HE..... is like Himself FOR us. Not the other way around.

Anyway...that was on my mind as I was interacting with people today. I probably wasted a few opportunities as I was feeling a little pushed to get everything done. I guess I'll pray that I can do a better job of being present with people tomorrow.

Ya...they don't ask for the "good guy discount"....in my experience.

I've been at this for awhile and I've worked for people from all walks of life and all of their varying visions and dreams...lol. I mostly just do what I'm told... and offer any expertise I've picked up along the way. I try to give people what they want when they employ my services. Sometimes people need to be reigned in however, on some things that are either...taking it too far, impossible or dangerous. Lol


Speaking of dangerous...I once took a shower in a Bolivian bathroom where the shower head was electric and it made sparks inside....AND....the breaker box for the shower head was in the shower too!

I can imagine some forum posters will be having a seizure to know you are working with homosexuals.
