“Misusing it should be considered heinous by Christendom. There’s probably very few worse ways to witness.”
Proclaiming God’s standards of right and wrong is “heinous” and the worst way to witness?
My FRiend, it is a simple fact that God says homosexual sex acts are morally repugnant and worthy of the death penalty.
Why did people hate Jesus? It was because He declared to the world that it’s works were evil. That has not changed. Are you suggesting that Christ’s followers do not need to follow in His steps?
It is true that homosexuals can be forgiven and can be healed, but no one can come to Christ without repentance from sin. Salvation is not about a lifestyle improvement, or getting to know God better; it is about forgiveness from sin and being transformed by God.
Jesus’ declarations were always in the context of a broader embrace of love.
Without that, sir, all you are doing is trying to create your own fear-based followings.
