<<to feel you must "not condemn" homosexuals>>
I try hard not to condemn homosexuals, it's not easy. This would clearly be wrong. Would Jesus walk up to a homosexual and say "homo"? I think not. Instead, he would walk up to him/her just as he did any other sinner (like you or me) and if we were truly repentant, he would say: "child of God, I forgive you, now go and sin no more." Condemn homosexual BEHAVIOR, not homosexuals. You don't think God loves homosexuals (not their acts) and does not consider them a child of God? Your sins that you committed yesterday, however trivial are no less repugnant to a Holy God than the actions of a homosexual.
All sin is an abomination to God! There is no such thing as first degree, second degree, etc. sin.
If you can't see a homosexual as a child of God,(not his/her actions) I'm not sure you truly understand His word.
In Christ's Love,
Rick
PS Not to sound like Mr. Perfect, I have condemned homosexuals most of my life and am just beginning to learn the error of this behavior. |
