A lot of good and a little bit of error in this article. Overall, though, I agree heartily with his message.
Homosexual behavior is not right and the behavior is to be eschewed. Abuse of homosexuals is not godly behavior.
All of us are born sinful—whatever sinful habits we learn, whether sins of a sexual nature or of a different kind are to be avoided.
I believe Pastor Matthew’s main point was something to do with what Jesus said about helping your brother when you have something in your own eye. Know what I mean.
We are quick to be very harsh on homosexuality, with good reason, but on the flip side look at how much heterosexual sex offends God?
Every day Wagglebee, and other FReepers like him including myself post stories of how condoms are being passed out to 12 year olds. Okay those 12 year olds are not making water ballons with the condoms! So we can all see that sexual morality in America has gone in the tank and it is not just homosexual sex.
I find it interesting that the author doesn’t address the “hate” that homosexuals have for Christians. Yet, once again, we must walk the high road. Of course, we are supposed to, however, in the NT, homosexuality is lumped with other sexual sins, so, in this area - the author is correct.
I do not, nor have I ever believed one is born a homosexual. Blacks are born black, and can’t change that. Orientals are born Orientals, and can’t change that. However, many homosexuals have accepted Christ and left behind their past sins, so, therefore, that tells us that one is NOT born a homosexual.
