I don’t hate homosexuals. You or anyone else stating I do is a false implication. I have a niece that is a lesbian. When I served in the service I trained with people that were gay and had a roommate that was gay. And if my neighbor was gay I would love them just as I would anyone else. I may not approve of their lifestyle but because I don’t approve of their lifestyle that doesn’t mean I hate them or show a lack of love toward them. It’s their choice to live that way.
Christians should pray for the salvation of the homosexual just as we would for any other person that is in bondage to sin. We don’t want anyone to be lost due to their sin.
As Christians we should show homosexuals the same dignity as anyone else we would come in contact with. We should show them that they can be freed from the bondage of sin and be forgiven. And that freedom and forgiveness can only be found in Jesus Christ.
We as Christians should never compromise our witnessing to these lost souls because of a socially acceptable opinion (which has entered many churches) that is void of godliness, and biblical truth.
Mat 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeded out of the mouth of God.
John 5:39 Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
2Ti 2:15 Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Psa 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
In God's Word it says,
1Co 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one no not to eat.
1Co 5:12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
1Co 5:13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
Do we disregard the above verses?

For our needs go out of this world
1 Corinthians 5:10 yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
[h=3]1 Corinthians 5[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
5 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father’s wife. [SUP]2 [/SUP]And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you. [SUP]3 [/SUP]For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, [SUP]4 [/SUP]in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, [SUP]5 [/SUP]to deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? [SUP]7 [/SUP]Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: [SUP]8 [/SUP]therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
[SUP]9 [/SUP]I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: [SUP]10 [/SUP]yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. [SUP]11 [/SUP]But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. [SUP]12 [/SUP]For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
[SUP]13 [/SUP]But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
The above passage was to the Corinthian Church, why, because they were glorying in their sins, using the grace of God as an excuse for to sin. Why not we are forgiven 100% by Christ.
That was and is why the letter was written to them, to straighten out the heresy in being 100% forgiven at all times, as in taking it for granted, why not harm my neighbor, I am forgiven, What is God going to do?
That is what the entire Corinthian letter the first letter is all about, to not take advantage as flesh does and does not love neighbor, takes what it wants at the expense of others
So to all that are struggling with sin and or taking it for granted stop please and talk to God your savior and seek truth in this deep love he has through Son for you
Praying God to show us all this deep love of God's through Son while we all were yet sinners
Hebrews 2:3
how shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
I personally to not neglect this and being in unredeemed flesh I could easily harm my neighbor but choose not to I have decided to die daily to me and be alive to God and that has worked out a lot better than trying to stop asking for God's help and forgiveness over and over again.
Maybe time to stop self works and start to just trust God to do in you what you can't do in self? And that is truly love others the same as God has loved you?
Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Hebrews 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
A Merry Christmas to all, GODJUSTLOVEYOU
