Human just like me

Oh my goodness, what has the world come to?! Gay marriage is becoming law and Phil Robertson is being fired from his show and and and..

And what? What are we supposed to say? What are we supposed to do? How are we supposed to act?

We should stand up for our beliefs and tell these homosexual  heathens what for!! We should wipe them off the face of the map like God did with Sodom and Gomorrah!!

Really, is that what we should do? Why do you think that’s the best action?

Because they’re sinning in our faces and making fun of and persecuting Phil Robertson, that’s why!

Whatever happened to 1) Love God with all your heart, soul and strength and 2)love your neighbor as yourself? That’s what Jesus taught.

Yeah but, you don’t understand! I saw a guy walking down the street with his hand in another guys back pocket and that’s wrong!

So, love them anyway.

But, I saw a girl kissing another girl the other night outside of a club!

So, love them anyway

But GLAAD and A&E shut down Phil Robertson for believing in what I believe in!

So, love them anyway and rejoice, for if one is persecuted in His name’s sake, great is his reward in Heaven

So, your saying that we should be all about “love” when the world turns against us?!

Yup

How could say that?!

Because God said it before I did. Read your Bible little Thumper! We are going to be persecuted by the world but that doesn’t give us an excuse to stop spreading the Good News and loving on those who don’t want to listen.

When Jesus was hung to a cross and the whole was sinning against Him, did he look down and say “One day, all you fools are going to be so-rry!” NO, He prayed for them, for their salvation, for their souls! He knew that if He wanted too, he could look down at the lot of them and fry their faces off like in Raiders of the Lost Ark!

Instead He, king of all, humbled Himself and TOOK the punishment we deserved and that is where the heart of a true follower of Christ lies!

So, we should be ok with homosexuality?!

Absolutely not! But we should be ok with the person that commits to it. We should be loving to those who don’t believe or follow God’s word. Look, I’m no better than a murderer or a pedophile, but only by the redeeming grace of God am I made whole again. Am I free from sin forever? No, my flesh will battle me and keep on battling me for the rest of my life, it’s in it’s nature to do so. That doesn’t make me any better of person then the people who are LGBT. We are all HUMAN created by the one God! Who are the righteous to judge the wicked? No one, but God. Who can forgive and forget sin? No one, but God. You see Christian, we have forgotten our fundamental roots laid up with the one who has ultimate power! We have forgotten what his ways are and what He has said. He has set us up to be a city on the hill for all the world to see and we decided to turn the lights off! Let’s turn them back on by showing each other love, care and affection. Pray for those who persecute you. Love those who hate you. Resist the temptation to boast your own beliefs and triumphs over others and instead, humble yourself to serve those who despise you. Be quick to listen and slow to wrath. These are the things the Bible teaches. I have gay friends and I don’t judge them for their actions or their sexual orientation, but love them for the people they are.

Because they are human, just like me.
