-— In the Christian circles I move in, people are so afraid to speak out because they don’t think they should “judge”. So they lose all their possible influence. We’re not living in 1950s folks. -—

Yes. The other related problem is that most people have committed sexual sins, which they regret, so they feel like hypocrites when upholding sexual morality.

They don’t realize that they’re not being hypocrites. They care about others and don’t want others to suffer as they did. This is love, not hate.

And by remaining silent they’re committing at least a material sin of failing to correct error.

******************************************

When the Left, Dems or whoever criticizes Christians for not accepting homosexuality by saying “well, there are other sins ... adultery, stealing, etc. ... why don’t you have the same attitude toward those sins?” I have yet to see very many people explain the ‘difference’ .... homosexuals, through an act of their own vermiculate will, identify their persons with a sin and demand acceptance not of the person, but of the sin-bound and sin-defined person. They demand the declaration of spiritual authority that there is nothing objectively disordered about this binding of man to sin, and assurance that this monstrous amalgam can indeed enter the kingdom of heaven. This can never happen among Christians until they abandon Christianity, which is at war with every sin.
