Everyone,
Remember God loves all of His creation! We are commanded to love our neighbor!We can hate the sin but not hate the induvidual! I know some gay men and a few I had known died of aides,but my love for them never died or dies!!!God hates that sin too but his love and mercy endures forever! Christ also died for the homosexual and if these friends I know needed help I would in no way cast them away! I hate the sin but I love them! There are things I have done that I am ashamed to even think about but God in His mercy forgave me and he will deal with them in His time!!

Here's a question I have been thinking about, "as Christ is so are we in this world". Christ died for the sinner, so since we are to partake of the sufferings of Christ, are we too to die for the sinner also? Not necessarily physical dying, but dying to self, not for our salvation, but for the salvation of others??
2Co 1:6 But, whether we are in tribulation, it is
for your encouragement and
salvation; whether we are encouraged, it is for your encouragement, which worketh inwardly by the endurance of the same sufferings which, we also, suffer;-
2Co 4:10 At all times, the putting to death of Jesus, in our body, bearing about,
in order that, the life also of Jesus, in our body, may be made manifest;2Co 4:11 For, evermore, we, the living, unto death are being delivered, for Jesus' sake, in order that, the life also of Jesus, may be made manifest in our mortal flesh:
(2Co 4:12) So that, his death, in us, doth energise, but,
his life, in you.
2Co 4:15 For, all things,
are for your sakes, in order that, the favour abounding, may, through means of the greater number, cause, the thanksgiving, to superabound unto the glory of God.
2Co 4:16 Wherefore we faint not, but, even if, our outer man, is decaying, nevertheless, our inner man , is renewing day by day.
Since Christ died for the sinner, homosexual included; we too are to die for the sinner, the homosexual, so that the light of the world will shine.
