An excellent article, but indicative of the larger effects of the primal Sin (Pride) which seeks to conform God to man rather than man to God.
Ironically, the flaw in this approach is that the demand for the Church's sanction exposes a fundamental insecurity in the person making these demands. If my sense of self-worth is dependent on the choices and actions of another then that says far more about me than those I accuse of "intolerance".
In many ways the "testimony of the damned" is a far more than tacit admission of the suzerainty of the Divine. Consistency would be better evidenced by indifference than opposition. But the Church cannot be indifferent when it comes to its salvific mission, for that is the whole reason for its existence. To engage with the Church, then, requires acceptance of this mission as fundamental and unchangeable. Those who attempt to so engage without this acceptance are thus engaged in a futile pursuit.
In short, while the Church will never give up on you, you are always free to leave the Church. Those who feel the need for affirmation of their choices will find no shortage of those who will do so. Just don't expect the Church to be one of them.
God told us CLEARLY to
"CUT THEM OFF".
He did NOT say "TOLERATE THEM", or to allow them to be around you.
TO TOLERATE HOMOSEXUALS IS EVIL.
This is what we get when we FAIL to OBEY God.
For
it is written:
For whosoever shall commit ANY of these abominations,even the SOULS that commit themSHALL BE CUT OFF from among their people.
Those who support homosexuals are
against our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
These anti Christ people only bring destruction on us ALL.
I have
NO sympathy for homosexuals!
Homosexuality is a
"Mark" of disobedience.
Someone once asked"Why are they [homosexuals] all so angry?"
The answer is in the definition of "
REPROBATE".
rep·ro·bate \ˈre-prə-ˌbāt\ a. [L. reprobatus, reprobo, to disallow; re and probo, to prove.]
- 1. Not enduring proof or trial; not of standard purity or fineness; disallowed; rejected.
-
Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the Lord hath rejected them. Jer. 6.
- 2. Abandoned in sin; lost to virtue or grace.
-
They profess that they know God, but in works deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and to every good work reprobate. Titus 1.
- 3. Abandoned to error, or in apostasy. 2Tim. 3.
And the reason
"why" is
given in the Bible.
God has
a cure for homosexuals.
But will we OBEY our Heavenly Father?
"Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect
that God is just,
that his justice cannot sleep forever."
