Homosexuality and such (mature content)
I'm getting really aggravated lately by certain people's lashing out at homosexuals especially, or even those in fornicating relationships. Because they, the people doing the lashing, are total hypocrites.
Honestly, homosexuality and sex out side of marriage, and adultery are sin. They are against the commandments of God. They bring death into our lives. And if we are truly strong Christians, we should not allow it in our midst. But before we start disfellowshiping everyone, have you (especially to the guys, but applies to both) masturbated? From Genesis to Revelation this is the same sin. So if we are going to say those that live a homosexual lifestyle are not welcome, we have to also say those that continue masturbating are not welcome.
What about lust? Have you entertained lustful thoughts lately? In the last month? Do you ever read romance novels? (yes I'll say it, they are really pornography) I could keep going on, but I'm sure you get the idea.
So hopefully we realize that we need to re-evaluate where the LINE IN THE SAND is.
What do I say. I say we love everyone right where they are at. Speak the truth and don't compromise it, but don't attack people either. Is someone in your church living a homosexual lifestyle? Build a friendship with them. Do you really think they can just repent and turn straight? You foolish person, it's a total lifestyle, their whole being is "gay". Build up strong loving men around him that understand what he is up against and will pray for him. The lifestyle is wrong, it will only continue to bring death into his (or her, I'm really not being sexiest here.) life. Understanding that recovery from a lifestyle is hard, and stumbling does happen, but that's why we have a perpetual lamb, and a loving father that runs out to meet us while we are still a great distance off.
So if you don't in anyway associate with the following cast the first stone, otherwise shut up and stop being a judge of the law, and start living the Torah.
Revelation 21:8
But as for the cowards and the ignoble and the contemptible and the cravenly lacking in courage and the cowardly submissive, and as for the unbelieving and faithless, and as for the depraved and defiled with abominations, and as for murderers and the lewd and adulterous and the practicer's of magic arts and the idolaters (those who give supreme devotion to anyone or anything other than God) and all liars (those who knowingly convey untruth by word or deed)
And BTW if you look up faithful, it means steadfast, or steady in your faith, not having highs and lows but consistently firm in your convictions and obedience.
Supreme devotion? Are you more steadfast in catching an episode of your favorite show than meditating in the word?
Am I saying that I'm above this? Heaven can attest to the fact I am not. I'm laying it out that the world is right, we have been a hate filled judgmental group, that is ignorant and intolerant of the world. And this is in a bad way. We are being just like the rest of the world, not being apart from it.
PS I love you all. lets work together to repent and live holy lives
