Homosexuality is wrong but so is being hateful.
I think that homosexuality is immoral and flies in the face of Gods plan for humanity, and many of my fellow believers have voiced their agreement. That said I would just like to take a moment to address something that has been nagging at me for awhile now. My belief that homosexuality is wrong does not mean that I condone the use of hateful language/slurs against people who behave in a sexually immoral fashion. To those of you who have sent me messages telling me that I should tell sexually deviant people to kill themselves, or calling them f**gots, or saying that you want them to be murdered, I just want to publically rebuke your words and tell anyone who shares similar sentiments that this type of thinking also flies in the face of Gods will.
God calls on Christians especially to “love thy neighbour”. Which doesn’t mean you have to pretend that homosexuality is okay, it means that you should condemn the behaviour with love. Explain why it’s wrong, be kind,be loving, but stay firm to the truth. I don’t want to hurt people who think that they are gay, I want to help guide them towards salvation and repentance. I don’t want to call anyone horrible names and make them feel bullied, on top of the shame they already hold subconsciously in their hearts. I want to be the one holding them afloat well they work through the pain of realizing their sinful ways, so that I can be there to celebrate when they finally break out of sin and into the light of Jesus.
Suicide is a sin, and it is in itself sinful to encourage people to sin. So telling people afflicted by homosexuality to “go die”, is just as wrong as their actions.
Murder is a sin, and the bible even says that to think of sinful thoughts is just the same as if you had already committed that sin.
God loves all people despite the fact that none of us are worthy of it. So to say that God hates gay people is a flat out lie, and lying is just as bad as every other sin.
Homosexuality is wrong but so is being hateful.
