Um...whether you like it or not, homosexuals do have civil rights, just like you do. When you say they don't, you are basically saying that they are beneath you in being a human citizen of the U.S...and not on equal terms with you as a citizen. That is completely inaccurate. I understand that you do no agree with how they choose to identify themselves. The way we as Christians treat them has a lot to do with how they respond to us. "deviant behavior" is how you choose to identify those who are gay. In truth, t hey are people just like you and I, who are in need of a loving savior....who they don't know....and will never know as long as we keep refuse to meet them where they're at and reflect the love of Christ to them in both truth and grace. Too often though, we refuse to even step "down" to where they are and hold out the loving hand of God, because we're too busy wallowing in our repulsion of their "sin". Well guess what. Your sin is no better, and just remember, before Christ you were just as lost as they are, and even in Christ, you still sin at times, just like everyone else....and your sin is held no higher in esteem as that of the homosexual. I am praying for you....that you will learn to see the lost as God Himself does....that you will wear the eyes and heart of the Father when relating to those who are lost, whether they be gay or not.
They have rights as individual citizens..not as a group of sexual deviants ...Sexual perversion is not and should not be a protected class of citizens. That's insanity
The same loving Savior is the same Judge that makes clear these folks will be judged in their sin, unless they repent and turn from wickedness to righteousness.
Yes I was a sinner...and I turned to Christ and away from my sin...they have the same chance I did and those who lie to them about their need to repent, do not love them but love their own judgment above Gods.
Ro 1:26 For this reason
God gave them up to dishonorable passions. Their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural,
27 and t
he men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in their own persons the due penalty for their error.
28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind and to improper conduct.
29 They were filled with all manner of wickedness, evil, covetousness, malice. Full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity, they are gossips,
30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,
31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless.
32
Though they know God's decree that those who do such things deserve to die, they not only do them but approve those who practice them.
