I know that there are Christians that are battling against homosexuality, but I'm not seeing where we are told to fight such a battle.A Christian is by definition, someone who follows the teachings of Jesus Christ. I can't interpret his teachings as anything close to telling us to get into some sort of war with homosexuals.
Do I find in reading the Bible that homosexuality is stated as wrong? Yes, I do. The bible states a lot of things are the wrong things to do, some things I do every day. I need to work on my own sins a whole lot before I go working on what anyone else is up to.
I don't see the message of Jesus Christ as commissioning anyone to go out into the world and right all the things one finds from reading the Bible stated as wrong. Actually in reading the Bible, I believe much of his story was about his battles with those who were more about enforcing interpretations of religious texts on others than seeking a personal relationship with God.
The message of Jesus Christ, and what being a Christian is to me, is to show others who Jesus is, why he came, and how he gives hope to all to develop a personal relationship with God. I don't see that message as instructing people to go through the Bible and point out to others what it says is not the right thing to do.
if your house was on fire; and i knew you, the wife & the kids were sleeping, would you want me to tell you ?
perhaps you didn't see the original post - freak, slave, blasphemies, child sacrifice, satan ? - very subtle.
yeah, i'm going to speak up when the sodomites are teaching young children in our schools how to have *n*l sex !! at tax payer expense !
but i can't speak of how to get to heaven or Jesus. (yet our tax dollars now allow the teachings of homosexuals, of perversions, of godless athiesm,
of islam and more).
most people are so brainwashed they don't even know what the truth of scripture is. the prophets have always been truth tellers
to nations in rebellion. scripture warns them thru people who dare to speak the truth in a world of madness.
read the words of Jesus, the apostles, even the prophets of old. fair warning is given to those who are perishing. repent.
especially to those who have declared war on us. look what has happened to the empires of old, those who forgot or ignored the warnings
from the Word of God. they fell from the moral decay within. they were corrupted by their own depravity, made slaves to brutal tyranny.
ancient rome executed those who refused to worship caesar as a god. we are in a spiritual warfare for the soul of a nation.
i speak the truth for the sake of love, for those who are perishing. especially when i see our children at risk
