Everyone wants to call themselves a Follower of Christ, but we don't want to pay the cost for it. Jesus said to follow Him was costly. We have to love Him more than anything. For what I read, this article is written to provide homosexuals or not to figure out what love requires of us. Are we using hate to condemn those who are homosexual? Are we using hate to condemn those who preaches it to be a sin? We have to stop interpreting scripture to fit our lifestyles and make us feel good. If you do that, you missed the entire concept of being a Christian. There will be things in the bible that will offend us, trust me it has happened to me. This is what being a Christian is about...you will be offended by your choice of sin versus Christ's choice of life for you. The Bible is not here to make you feel good about your life, but a constant reminder of what Christ did for us and we owe Him our lives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3145321439832187560.post-28182376159766061092013-08-02T15:58:15.984-04:002013-08-02T15:58:15.984-04:00I disagree as well, in no way do I see this articl...I disagree as well, in no way do I see this article as advocating in any way for anyone to hate themselves. I think you are reading the article with a preconceived notion of the authors intent, so the point flew right over your head. The author in fact is sending the message that no one deserves hate, and it is our duty as Christians to love even when condemning sin.

My greatest identity is found in Christ and His Word. If anything in my life contradicts that, I need to do some heart checks with Jesus and major soul searching.<br /><br />FYI, as a Follower of Christ we have to be careful with our words. We are not going to always say things that make people feel comfortable because it is what is. However, if we have to use comments like "I may sound rude", "No offense", any other similar disclaimers that's exactly what it will be rude, offensive, etc. <br /><br />Great post!Nikkinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3145321439832187560.post-77955360872930167882013-08-02T12:51:45.979-04:002013-08-02T12:51:45.979-04:00I shall comment here: Please seek for several othe...I shall comment here: Please seek for several other articles in the Bible which contains homosexuality and incest, also it contains a several events of reincarnation which in the exact bible says that is not acceptable. would you explain that? In other words, I thought that being gay was wrong, and guess what? Is not, because I had experienced the presence of god and had guided me through many paths of my life and what church and their followers had done to thousands of people who are struggling for acceptance, your people, those called sheperds of god, had made them feel humilliated by what God made them. You are all incorrect of what God really is: God is a Powerful Spirit that loves us all by the way we are.<br /><br />If we count all the famous sins, some of Your Shepperd had done it through time and you all remain shut and do not even consider them. Like: Women using clothes from different fabrics. Please, shut your mouth when you probably are worst of a sinner than anyone living in this world. I may sound rude, but I am getting tired of your so called "Christians" trying to make everyone feel that they're wrong.<br /><br />With this I shall leave.<br /><br />Stay Blessed!Alexis Montgomery†https://www.blogger.com/profile/05552651769055262578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3145321439832187560.post-61341927609351757712013-08-01T15:59:31.261-04:002013-08-01T15:59:31.261-04:00Please do not mistake following/expressing biblica...Please do not mistake following/expressing biblical text as judgment.

Thinking of god as a punisher and not a lover of all things he created. Messages like this are why gay teenagers are being found in closets with ropes around their necks having ended their own lives.

We've been called to love everyone, and as followers of Christ, it's our hope that anyone living in sin will turn away, and run towards Christ! :)Ayannanoreply@blogger.com
