What is the desire of God?
It is that his children spend eternity with Him (father, son and holy spirit)
What is the desire of Lucifer?
It is that mankind be separated from the love of God and be damned along with him in Hell.
Now, remember the prodigal son. The brother who was welcomed spent all his inheritance on women and booze. Yet, he was forgiven and welcomed back to the family with great celebration.
Now lets consider the words of Francis, homosexuals who are seeking God...We must always welcome those who are seeking God. The desire to be reunited with his love comes first, then the acknowledgement of the sin that has kept someone separated from God.
No catholic or Christian who understands the faith should ever turn away anyone who is seeking communion with God. Francis is not condoning sinful behavior, he is trying to welcome sinners of a particular persuasion back into the fold. We must do the same this is not condoning the sin, it is welcoming the sinner with love with the hope of repentance.
I find the homosexual agenda abhorrent. It is perverse, destroys the family, spreads death and disease. It is evil as it is a horrible perversion of the great God given gift of sexuality within a sacramental marriage. However, we must love the sinner and welcome them ( not the sin) into the love of Christ.
Well said!
