The Scriptures disagree with what you are saying Agricola. Thats all I can say to that point.Did I bash homosexuals? No I did not! In fact I have said lovingly correct a person.No where did I bash homosexuals.No homosexuals may not be doing anything legally wrong but under Gods law they are.And His law trumps the laws of this country.Abortion is legal but not right according to God.I dont know anyone who takes pencils from work but if I did I would tell them it is wrong.The gay issue is important because the family is Gods foundation for society.Both for marriage and the creation of children.God created marriage between a man and a woman,not me. Read the Scriptures concerning homosexuality and you will find God was very serious on this subject.Then get back to me.This is a discussion forum and that is what we are here to do.Again I am not bashing anyone.Nor am I wrong in what I am saying according to Gods Word.
I am not denying Homosexuality is right and I know what God says on the matter, however the persecution of homosexual has fallen into the tiny militant minorty who are usually athiests wanting to destroy Christianity.
What does it achieve to tell homosexuals what they are doing is wrong? Sure tell a Christiain who is in denial that thier homosexual acts are wrong, but anyone else who is not a Christian, it is pointless.
AS Skipp rightly pointed out, it is ridiculous how Christians persecute homosexuals in this way, it just plays into the militant and anti-Christians hands.
If you tell a non-christian that living with someone while not married is a sin, they will just laugh and say "so what", just as the homosexual will laugh and say "So what", just as the person who takes stuff from the office will laugh and say "so what", just as the person who keeps on saying bad things or speaks of a desire to sleep with someone, those are sins as good as murder and adultry, if you tell a person that its a sin and God hates them for it, then they will laugh at you. If you tell someone having an abortion that they are committing murder they will laugh at you and say "no".
Point I am making is that we are in a world where we can not just simply preach fire and brimstone, point fingers and say "you filthy sinner repent and turn to God or burn in hell".
You can not win over people to GOd if you just keep telling them that their lifestyle is disgusting and filthy and calling them insulting names like Sodomite, instead you show them love and compasion, you still do not have to agree what they do is right, but treat them like humans and do not even condem them, if you know a homosexual couple and they are getting married, then just be nice to them.
you will stand more of a chance to bring people to accept and know Christ by being nice instead of telling them they are filthy sinners and are doing things God hates. As I said before, people will go to hell for rejecting Christ, not for what they get up to. Paul murdered Christians, so I guess if murders can be used for good and enter heaven, then so can homosexuals.
Holy SPirit changes, not us, we bring people to know Christ , we can even help them, introduce them to a church, but ultimatly it is Holy Spirit that will transform a person and stop them sinning.
Homosexuals are humans too.
