This is how they deny Jesus, and don’t even realise it.They repudiate his teaching on a very important subject, they side with a world in rebellion against God’s moral order. They don’t realise it in fact they actually believe they are being more merciful and Christlike than other christians.

We surely know who is behind this all, don't we? The enemy of men's souls, the devil, is bent on perverting and destroying ALL that God has created that is good. Kids today need to be taught that, just as Jesus did not condemn the woman caught in adultery and thrown at his feet by hypocritical religious leaders trying to test him, we can be compassionate without condoning what God clearly calls an abominable sin. Jesus told that woman, "Go and sin no more.". He was being loving towards the sinner while not approving of the sin she was involved in.

As Christians, even in this modern age, we can be examples of holy and pure living and how God rewards such with a peaceful, joyful and harmonious family life that produces children to carry on that God-fearing and honorable life throughout subsequent generations. Kids need to be taught the very REAL consequences of sin and especially those that homosexual lifestyles inure. Love the sinner, hate the sin is a valuable life lesson and we should not be afraid to promote it. The way our society is moving these days, there may come a time where we will suffer for righteousness sake. That is a GOOD thing to suffer for and God WILL honor it.

People are losing sight of the fact that God is also a God of justice and that sin must be and will be punished.

The enemy loves nothing more than presenting a warped very of God that would cause people to either reject Him because of being portrayed as harsh and unloving, or embrace sin in the name of tolerance and love.

Jesus died to save us from God’s wrath. He is a compassionate and loving heavenly Father, but will not let sin go unpunished, and homosexuality is sin.

And homosexuals are not being condemned for the sole reason of being homosexual. Even if they weren’t that, there’s still the rest of the sin in their lives to be condemned for.
