Mitspa, Lis45 said she wanted PRAYER for her gay child. Prayer is NOT compassion. And yes, we should show gay people compassion, because they are lost and we need to try to bring them to God, not ridicule them or tell them they're going to hell. Scaring them to go to Jesus isn't the way to win them to Him. They must WANT to go to him and repent through their own will, not because we put the fear of hell in them. Now, are YOU capable of praying for Lis' child or is that too much to ask of you? We should ALL pray for gay people.
