Hello KatiLady,
Let me encourage you to not be concerned about what others say to you or think of you concerning your belief and knowledge of God's Word. It is TRUTH, a firm foundation. Continue in your Faith Walk building on this foundation.
The TRUTH is that having sexual relations with the same sex is a sin, as you touched on. It is an inappropriate behavior, as is any sin.
Keep in mind, we are to love the sinner and hate sin, just as Christ did and still does. It's OK to interact with sinners. Indeed, we should, letting God's light shine forth through us. For God's Holy Spirit changes lives either directly or indirectly, through us his children.
God's love is a powerful, wonderful thing. He is with you KatiLady, and always will be. Deuteronomy 31:6 (NIV) "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
"Heavenly Father, I ask that you give KatiLady the courage to stand on Your Word regardless of what she is faced with in her life. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen."
I don't want to lay anything heavy on you because I understand the weight you've bore from the attacks you mention. But that is what they are, attacks, and so I give you this to help you each day. It reads heavy, but really isn't. It is protection for you.
The Armor of God Ephesians 6:10-17 New International Version (NIV)
[SUP]10[/SUP] Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. [SUP]11[/SUP]Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. [SUP]12[/SUP]For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. [SUP]13[/SUP]Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. [SUP]14[/SUP]Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, [SUP]15[/SUP]and with your feet fitted with...the gospel of peace. [SUP]16[/SUP]In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. [SUP]17[/SUP]Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
God bless you KatiLady. Remember, He is with you!
