There are a few things here that should help to remove the complication and frustration on this topic and a multitude of others and to shed light on what's behind what people are claiming and stating.
7. Don't bother to comment with ''All sins are alike'' and that everyone has sin -- that statement means nothing in and of itself. Now pay attention... Saints are those who repent of their sins and be refreshed and cleansed daily in a place of humility before God. Those who live in sin and are unrepentant, they will not enter into the Kingdom of heaven. And they are rejecting the cleansing blood of Jesus. No one is perfect, but can you now see the difference in how people deal with their sins? and those who are not repentant? It may take some time for them to realize this but by reading the living Word of God this is plain and simple, its not a mystery or secret as to how we must live in this fallen dark world. We are called out of it and to be set apart and set a standard. There is no ''hatred'' of those who are still living in Darkness by following God's word. And if scriptures are repeated to bring conviction to sin, it hurts and it seems negative and offensive simply because God had Judged and already made a determination of those who keep their sins and those who are repentant.
I understand the Idea of repentance, but the bible clearly states that we must follow all laws within. It seems that so little of the book is viewed as common law by all christians, and even less with the majority of the world population.
I am going to make a list of laws from the bible, both Old and New testaments. I want everyone making judgements to put a check by every law in the Old, stating that you agree to the divine nature of them, and every law in the New, stating that you would agree to follow them or repent if not. When you can do this, I will allow you to tell me the hierarchy of laws; ultimately stating that my fellowship with a homosexual makes me any more ****ed, than one with someone who takes it upon themselves to judge their neighbor, as even Jesus surely did not. He kept fellowship with all, no matter their condition!
This kind of "Dogma" is what corrupts the christian faith!!!!
