Any examples of this 'cruelty'?
Or are they saying it is cruel when a Christian baker, or florist, refuses to be forced to participate in a Sodomite fake wedding?
Or are they pretending that the 'Laramie Project' hero was set upon by Christians because they found out he was a homosexual (as opposed to being set upon by fellow druggies when his drug deal went bad).
This is basic obedience to the Bible, which tells us that every human being, however broken we all are, is created in the image of God.
We are all sinners (broken). That is true.
Man and Woman are made in the image of God. That is true.
But unrepentant sinners have no place in the Kingdom. It behooves all Christians to sound that warning loud and clear. The Sodomite (or Adulterer, or Rapist, or, etc) who stays in their sin will spend eternity in hell-fire. To sit on our hands and just pat the sinner on the back and tell them it is OK to stay in their sin is just wrong.
Ezekiel 18:30b-32
...Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.
>But unrepentant sinners have no place in the Kingdom.
Not one person on this Earth can make that proclamation for anyone other than themselves.
>It behooves all Christians to sound that warning loud and clear
No, it just gets more rats elected.
Well quite frankly some Christians have considered policing a secular country that has no divine covenant equivalent to policing eternity.
