It's really no different than some people have a gene which makes them alcoholic, drug addicts or sexually promiscuous- that is some who are addicted to sex. I'm not picking on homosexuals Nat. It's in the Bible, God inspired the Biblical authors to write His Word. And homosexuality is not the only thing that is in the Lord's eye, an abomonation. <br />God made us all, but He also gave us free will to sin or try and give up sin, so matter the sin. Adultery is also listed in some references to homosexual and other sexual sin. I don't necessarily condemn a homosexual person (although many take it as such) especially those who are not Christian. However, one who professes to be Christian, is not living in a Christ relationship if they remain unrepented in the lifestyle. It's no different than an unrepentant adulterer or lier or thief. I pointed out the homosexual parts because I am pointing to the church for promoting and enabling sin without repentance- an that is wrong. Christians are to rebuke other believers, and when it's the church leadership, it is worse because they are leading or helping others to sin without loving them enough to help them overcome. Gays can over come Nat, just like anyone else with other sin habits. It's not easy, but it is possible. <br />As far as non christians go, we can only tell them about Jesus, point out that we are all sinners, and that no matter the sin, He did die for us. It is though as He says, Go and sin no more. If they accept Jesus, they must, as we all must accept His Whole Person.<br />Again, some see this as hateful, but think that even among Biblical Christians who help homosexuals to repent, we are called hate mongers, homophobes and worse because we love people enough to show them the love of Christ through His Salvation. Other religions would stone or behead these folks without lovingly trying to help them.<br />Hope this helps Nat. :-)Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06778221847847541523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866800496413894728.post-49572672713028897082009-11-30T23:16:40.106-05:002009-11-30T23:16:40.106-05:00Dear Carolyn,

Every sin we commit, whether it be one of commission or ommission, effects people around us in an ever widening circle just as a rock skipped into water starts ripples that circle out from the center. <br /><br />And God does judge nations just as he judges individuals. If either go too far from his will and way he will leave them to thier reprobate mind to suffer in their disobedience.Barbara In Caneyheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06053601327400989802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866800496413894728.post-7781829933613904062009-11-26T10:34:04.012-05:002009-11-26T10:34:04.012-05:00It is annoying when you see what could be for this...It is annoying when you see what could be for this nation but so many others want to make this a secular nation. While D.C. and Hollyweird might do that, I do NOT. This is a CHRISTian nation and while there is so much acceptance of what passes for entertainment, Adam Lambert?? Puh-leeze... Hey Adam, if you want tips on how to be provocative in the music industry, read up on Boy George. I couldn't stand him, but at least when you stripped him of the make up and gawdy behavior, the guy could sing. Or check out Marilyn Manson. That guy's music is straight outta hell, but the guy did eke out a living with minimal makeup and a colored eye contact. <br />Sorry, Carolyn... as usual, you are so effective in evoking an emotion in me about a topic. Even though you were writing about how personal sin can develop into so much more, I read about the whole Adam Lambert thing, and it just snowballed...lol...<br /><br />Have a blessed and very happy Thanksgiving Carolyn,<br /><br />MikMikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15198300171909748645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866800496413894728.post-62227721951742861152009-11-25T02:25:34.307-05:002009-11-25T02:25:34.307-05:00Hi Carolyn,

Shame. It's good for us to have godly friends to share and encourage.<br /><br />Bro.

It's heartbreaking and so completely disturbing. I just want to scream sometimes "what is wrong with you? WHY do you keep doing this to yourselves. Why is our nation so accepting of this idea that "anything goes, we can do what ever we want and that GOD will forgive them", they HAVE To repent. They have to understand and accept that they've sinned and that they must stop that sin. <br /><br />Honestly this may sound very crass, but it's like they're flipping GOD off, telling him he's the one in the wrong. There's no reguard, love, or fear of GOD. Oh why happened to our Nation? It breaks my heart.Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02932007213063890925noreply@blogger.com
