There are some fundies I dont respect, like the lady who lives 10 doors north of me who thinks even as a right wing homosexual I may be, Im just as evil as an an abortionist. Sick ****.
I was curious, & asked a pastor/scholar I respected, what we need do in response to homosexuality in this age.
Hew responded by asking me what the greatest commandment is. . . "To love the Ord our God with all our heart, mind, strength, & soul." I replied.
He surmised that the greatest sin must be brea89n the greatest commandment; I agreed this was logical.
He went on to point you that ever minute of every day & night we neglect to devote our ENTIRE feelings, strength, & thoughts unto God, & against a backdrop of sinning such as that, who are we to worry about a little thing called homosexuality.
This us one of my key guiding principles with regard to any judgement of others.
If asked, I respond to homesexual friends that their goal is the same as for heterosexuak people: live well, honour God, help others, & behave.
&, further, gw does the Bible define homosexuality? Butt-humping -- but gays get murdered for just holding hands or kissing - that's just plain murder, by any standards!
'
Ok, the Bible gives Sodom & Gomorrah as examples -- what happened in Sodom? The people were so sex-crazy, they were willing to rape strangers, just because they were fresh meat. :(
That's a far cry different sin than holding hands & necking in a public park! Or any none of anyone's business marital expression of love in the privacy of a private home.
Only God has authority to judge/condemn. I may be wrong in my leniency, but it doesn't feel wrong, & if I am, I'll have consequences for teaching wrongly, but I can only hope I'm judged by the same standard as I judge.
What is a "right-wing homosexual?" You accept the conservative/Republican platforms, save for any mentions of condemning homosexuality?
Live in peace, my brother.
