I did not write those sentences you ascribed to me. You must be confusing me with someone else.
Be that as it may...
From your post tome...
RE: Can’t be proved or disproved, so we get distracted from carrying the Word by involving ourselves in the gyrations that make us feel holier than them.
NOPE. Christian don’t or at least SHOULD NOT feel holier than anyone. We are all sinners in God’s eyes and regardless of of the kind of sin we are prone to, we need to examine ourselves and ask for God’s mercy daily.
As Jesus Himself taught us to pray, “Forgive us our trespasses, ever as we forgive those who trespass against us.”
Having said that, there is nothing wrong when the occasion arises to talk about homosexuality and what God’s word teaches about it.
It is not “holier than thou” to simply teach what God Himself says.
RE: Folks will descry a Baptist Minister preaching brimstone and hell-fire w/o including the Love of Jesus,
Sure, preaching must be balanced. Always include Hope and the Love of Jesus, but balance definitely INCLUDES telling people what is and is not sinful.
A good doctor will tell his patient truthfully about his physical condition and also tell him the cure or treatment for it.
Same is true with someone who preaches about our SPIRITUAL condition.
See your post 105 of the thread - the sentence about having to reject sin to receive the gift is in it.
As far as the rest of what you said in the post I am replying to, I fully agree. The trouble is that many Christians have been exhibiting a "holier than thou at any cost" attitude. I have not seen that attitude in your posts, but many are twisting the Word and the Bible to try to illustrate that they are so holy that they can point out anyone else's faults from a superior position. They seem to ot realize that they are every bit as tainted as the worst sinners, but for the Blood of Christ.
I have had some recent conversations with a couple homosexuals that attend my church. They have accepted Christ and yet they suffer the same as anyone else does - they can try to not commit sinful acts, but cannot fully succeed. I do not condemn them because, having accepted Christ, only He can condemn them and I believe that according to prophesy (such as Jeremiah), that God no longer recognizes the sins of a saved soul as sins. All we can do is relate our own struggles and push faith in the One who deserves all faith and trust.
But we still have the "You're vile and disgusting and deserve to burn in Hell" "Christians" who do not seem to understand the nature of Jesus except to assert that He is on their side.
God Bless.
