Appreciate your advise, brother, but it has gone too far in the wrong direction. What does a parent do when a child does something wrong? The first thing to do is show and convince them the thing IS WRONG. The child must first understand that the thing they did was wrong. Then appologies and restitution can be made.
For too long the mushy-gushy, greasy 'grace' shown by well-meaning Christians has caused this filthy perversion to avoid the piercing Light of God's Word.
It is the "goodness of God that leads to repentance", but it is also a "goodness" to show a child clearly that a certain thing is wrong. o that there is no misunderstanding. Because the judgement will be final and drastic...esp. in the case of homosexuals.
When and if certain gay individuals acknowledge their wrong-doing...the mercy of God and His power will be there to restore. Long ago when they were still ashamed to "come out of the closet", there was still some semblance of humility to work with. But it has gone beyond that.
We have a bigger mess to prove wrong and clean up then we should, but that's the condition of things now. We have some rastically seared consciences to deal with.
And it is not so much that I expect a lot of change...just "holding forth the Word of Life in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation" as instructed. God bless. I hope you understand.
but I SO disagree with you on this one, Dogbean. No one who has a sexual orientation toward the same gender has anything to repent for. It's most unfair as well as incorrect to use the Bible to condemn people who have done nothing wrong per se.
