Christians: just because the Bible states homosexuality to be sinful, doesn't mean we should treat it as the "cardinal sin" or "deal-breaker" or anything like that. We all are sinful, and homosexuals should be treated with love just like anyone else. Not with judgment or condemnation. Yes, homosexuals are sinners. So are you, so am I. amirite?
It doesn't seem like there are many christians on middle ground. Either it is completely fine or the worst thing ever. I don't understand why.
1 John 4:19-20.
Yes, but I don't think it should be totally brushed off either.
Well, by not brushed off you probably mean don't treat homosexuality as if it were perfectly fine. As Christians, we should disagree with it as something which God hates. But God doesn't hate any people, he hates the world in which people have fallen victim. I'm sure that there are areas in each of our lives that are very displeasing to God. And if we shoo away homosexuals from the church, not showing them God's love, they can never be changed
Yeah I don't think they should be shooed away from the church or get the impression that we hate them or something, but unfortunately even when someone respectfully disagrees with someone's lifestyle, it's often taken as very offensive.
unfortunately. but what people don't seem to get, is that we ALL make moral judgments. Christians are given a bad rap for believing certain things in our culture are bad, but other people aren't
Absolutely, but while all christians have sin in their lives, it should always be a goal not to have it.
Yes, we are. But homos are constantly living in their sin, they dont ask for forgiveness for it or repent. They are doing it all the time. It is a life-style of sin, not an act of it.
So is everybody else who hasn't repented to God. The list you describe includes a lot of people, not just homosexuals.
