THE WORD OF GOD SAYS...'IF YOU'VE BROKEN ONE LAW, YOU'VE BROKEN THEM ALL'. AND WHO IS SINLESS IN THE WORLD??? NOBODY. WELL, IF YOU AGREE WITH THIS THEN FOR SURE, YOU WILL AGREE THAT WE ALL DO SIN, JUST IN DIFFERENT WAYS.  

SO, TO BE SPECIFIC; YES… THE WORD OF GOD TELLS US THAT HOMOSEXUALITY IS A SIN, IN FACT AN ABOMINATION BEFORE GOD.  AND NONE CAN DISPUTE THE WORD OF GOD. BUT THEN THE WORD OF GOD ALSO TELLS US THAT…SIN, IN ANY SHAPE, FORM OR FASHION IS 'WRONG' AND IF NOT REPENTED OF...WILL SEND US TO HELL!!!

NOW, PLEASE BE AWARE; I AM DELIBERATELY USING THE TERM 'SIN' INSTEAD OF THOSE MORE ACCEPTABLE TERMS SUCH AS...'SHORT COMINGS', 'MISTAKES', 'ERRORS', ETC BECAUSE THERE ARE NO BIG SINS OR LITTLE 'SINS'. THERE ARE NO NICE 'SINS' BUT SOMETIMES WE TRY TO MAKE THEM 'SOUND' BETTER...WHEN THEY ARE NOT, BUT ALL THE SAME.

ALBEIT, THOUGH I AM NOT GAY I DON'T CONDEMN THOSE THAT ARE. WHY? BECAUSE SINCE I KNOW HOMOSEXUALITY IS ONLY ANOTHER 'FORM' OF SIN, AND SINCE I DO SIN IN OTHER WAYS, I CAN ACCEPT THAT...BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD, THERE GO I !!!

CHRIST HIMSELF CLEARLY TELLS US OF THE 'CHOICE' TO CHOOSE HEAVEN OR HELL IN THE PARABLE OF THE ‘BROAD AND NARROW WAY’. THUS, IF TWO CONSENTING ADULTS WANT TO LIVE A SPECIFIC LIFESTYLE THAT GOD DOESN’T CONDONE, THAT'S THEIR BUSINESS AND NOT FOR ME OR ANYONE ELSE, BUT GOD, TO JUDGE.

FOR, AS LONG AS A GAY INDIVIDUAL’S ACTION DOES NOT DISRESPECT ANOTHER BY BEING UNDULY AGGRESSIVE …OR… INCLUDE THE SEXUAL ABUSE OF CHILDREN BY WAY OF PURPOSELY INDUCING AND INTICING AN UNDERAGE CHILD, WHO IS NOT YET CAPABLE OF MAKING A SOUND CHOICE AS TO THEIR SEXUALITY, THEN LEAVE GAYS ALONE. WHO ARE THEY HURTING, BUT THEMSELVES? THEY HAVE MADE A CONSCIOUS, GOD-GIVEN CHOICE. AND WHO ARE WE THAT ARE LIARS, CHEATERS, FORNICATORS, MURDERERS, THIEVES, ADULTERERS, BACK STABBERS AND THE LIKE…TO ‘JUDGE’ ANYONE?

PRAYER IS THE ANSWER. A FAITHFUL PRAYER FOR 'ALL' SINNERS IS THE KEY, BEGINNING WITH PRAYER FOR OURSELVES. FOR AGAIN THE WORD TELLS US THAT…'ALL HAVE SINNED AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD'. OTHER THAN THAT, WE CAN PRODUCE NO CHANGES IN ANYONE BY TRYING TO SHOVE THE WORD OF GOD DOWN THEIR THROATS WHICH THEY’RE NOT UNDERSTANDING…OR…CHOOSING NOT TO HEED.  

THE BEST 'TESTIMONIES' ARE GIVEN THROUGH ‘EXAMPLE’. I HAVE SEEN SO MANY HATEFUL, MEAN AND DOWNRIGHT SINFUL THINGS DONE BY THOSE WHO WANT TO 'FORCE' OTHERS TO LIVE THE WAY GOD, OR THEY, WANT THEM TO. HONESTLY, SOMETIMES THE ‘SELF RIGHTEOUS’ BECOME MORE SINFUL IN THEIR ACTIONS AND DEEDS, THAN THOSE WHOM THEY ARE TRYING TO 'ENLIGHTEN' EVER WERE.

 FOR INSTANCE? I ASK YOU…IS THE ‘MURDER’ OF AN INDIVIDUAL BECAUSE THEY'RE GAY, RIGHT??? DOESN'T THE WORD SAY, 'THOU SHALL NOT KILL'? IS NOT GOD, WHO HAS DELEGATED THE JOB OF 'ETERNAL RECOMPENSE' TO HIS SON...THEIR ONLY JUDGE? AREN'T GAY INDIVIDUALS STILL HUMAN AND, UNTIL THEIR LAST BREATH SHOULD BE GIVEN THE CHANCE, THROUGH A SPOKEN-WORD, SONG, LITERATURE, ETC, TO ACCEPT JESUS AS THEIR PERSONAL SAVIOR? ALSO, WHAT OF JESUS' POWERFUL PARABLE OF THE WHEAT AND THE TARES? GOD'S MESSAGE IN THIS PARABLE CLEARLY TELLS US NOT TO DO 'HIS JOB'...THAT IN THE END OF THE WORLD...HE...WILL SEPARATE AND JUDGE. SHOULD WE THEN IGNORE THIS AND CONSIDER OURSELVES WORTHY TO DO WHAT GOD HIMSELF TELLS US ONLY HE CAN DO? AND OVERALL...SHOULD WE COMPLETELY FORGET/IGNORE THAT 'GOD IS LOVE'?

THE BLOOD OF CALVARY COVERS ‘ALL’ SINS’. DARE WE DISREGARD THE BIBLICAL FACT THAT 'CHANGE', WHEREBY… THE ‘OLD THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY AND ONE BECOMES NEW’ IS A 'PROCESS'…DONE BY GOD, THROUGH HIS HOLY SPIRIT. FOR NONE CAN RID THEMSELVES OF ANY KIND OF SIN...BASED ON THEIR OWN EFFORTS. THUS, WE TAKE THOSE WHO ARE LIVING A LIFESTYLE THAT IS AN AFFRONT TO GOD… TO GOD… IN FERVENT PRAYER. YES, WE PRAY FOR THEM JUST LIKE WE PRAY ABOUT EVERY OTHER ISSUE (OURS LEADING THE WAY) LEAVING ‘ALL’ IN GOD’S CAPABLE HANDS. THAT'S THE BEST WE CAN AND SHOULD DO.

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, CONSIDER A QUOTE FROM THAT WELL-KNOWN BIBLICAL SCHOLAR, D.L. MOODY; 'I HAVE NEVER MET A PERSON WHO HAS GIVEN ME SO MUCH TROUBLE AS MYSELF' AMEN!

PLEASE, LET’S TAKE A LOOK IN THE MIRROR.

I SAY ALL OF THIS WITH GENUINE AFFECTION AND RESPECT FOR EACH AND EVERY READER'S OPINION. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS
