venge , What i saw was enough for me to: 1. feel nauseated 2. realize how fallen we can be 3. want to change my profile picture to something with my jaw hanging open, or sad face that man and those who preach that message need prayer brother. Deceit is deceit whether presenting a false gospel or thinking you are female when you are male, etc. Lord Jesus come and restore order to this terribly fallen world

venge , What i saw was enough for me to: 1. feel nauseated 2. realize how fallen we can be 3. want to change my profile picture to something with my jaw hanging open, or sad face that man and those who preach that message need prayer brother. Deceit is deceit whether presenting a false gospel or thinking you are female when you are male, etc. Lord Jesus come and restore order to this terribly fallen world When he started calling them names: freaks etc And called for violence, there is no love. There is a difference to have opposition to sin and yet love. Christ didn’t point fingers, he didn’t call for an uprising, he didn’t make posters and yell from the rooftops (bull horns) - he just spoke kindness. Didn’t he die for all of us to be saved? The alcoholic, the liar, the violent and the homosexual? Who are we to condemn? Vengeance is his, he will recompense. Will this falling away happen because those who take the title Christian and speak violence and anger cause liberals to become aggressive against us? Or those that hear these lies flee the Church never to return and know the truth? It’s terrible. Cherry picking scripture to use as hate. |

I'm going to link another video here which supports much of what been said already with some additional insight. Yes homosexuality is wrong, we know that from God's word. This video covers some of the reasons why violating Gods word is problematic. It also shines some light on the repercussions of the pursuit of moral decay has led to or is leading to Some "facts" I checked on a few comments he makes - From Wiki - Research has found that attempted suicide rates and suicidal ideation among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth is significantly higher than among the general population.[1] LGBT adolescents have the highest rate of suicide attempts,[2] which scientific research indicates is linked to homophobic attitudes and heterosexist discrimination.[3]....

As I mentioned, our Sunday School time this summer is discussing some of these issues.
Today the pastor brought up the question Should believers attend a homosexual couple's wedding? (and similarly, should a pastor be willing to perform the ceremony) One point he made was that by being witnesses to the wedding we would then be saying that the "marriage" was a good thing, the relationship was a good thing, and we want the "marriage" to succeed.
But more importantly, these relationships undermine the gospel. It distorts the picture that a marriage is supposed to display of Christ's relationship with the church.
Ephesians 5:25-33
25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. 28 In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, 30 because we are members of his body. 31 “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” 32 This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. 33 However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
I am going to disagree with the idea that Jesus would attend a homosexual ceremony. Yes, I agree that He would have eaten with them in public, not shunned them, but do we really think He would encourage their relationship?
There are ways of loving a homosexual person without condoning their behavior.
