Your ‘god’ is yourself.
Why don’t you try actually reading The Lord’s thoughts on sin (especially homosexual sin)?
The couple had a knee-jerk reaction, IMHO.
Rather than telling them they could not buy their home because of their sin of homosexuality, they should have welcomed them to view their house, made sure they were home, and share God’s word and warn them of their sin in person. It would have been more loving, although very awkward. It would likely have resulted in them not returning for a second view, thus accomplishing their mission.
So I have to wonder if an unmarried couple would have received the same treatment? Or someone who they decided was sinning in some other way? I think their actions in this regard have done more harm than anything.
If they were that emotionally invested in who bought their home, they should have sold it privately, going through their church, or similar Christian groups. You can’t put it out their to the public, knowing full well the public is full of sinners.
And “Judge not...”
Did anyone catch this:
“ But when contacted by MailOnline, Mr Main said he would have to speak to his wife, …”
Not only did his wife not take his name, she demands permission for him to talk?
Say what???
“My God does not endorse punishment by humans for breaking Christian teaching.”
Who’s your God? My God endorses punishment by humans for other humans breaking Christian teaching re murder, theft, etc. Just because homosexuality has been mainstreamed by evil leaders doesn’t mean it’s less sinful than other Christian teachings.
The Bible is just as explicit condemning homosexuality as it is concerning other sins.
lol Bratch.
If you click excerpt they have published the texts.
I think the guy saying he cried to mommy is a bit dramatic though.
“And ‘Judge not...’”
That reference — Matthew 7 — must be taken in context. Jesus does not forbid all judgement. He is forbidding HYPOCRITICAL judgement. So, unless the homeowners also are homosexual, they are well within their right to judge.
In this scripture, hypocrisy is the sin, not exercising judgement. In reality, the Bible is a handbook of how to judge people, situations, etc., and how to discern right from wrong.
Nothing new under the sun. My parents bought their home, a two family, right after the birth of my kid sister. Six years later, while the tenant was moving out, an unmarried mixed race couple wanted to rent the apartment. My folks did not want to rent, the building dept. got involved...long story short, the second floor of that house remained vacant until my folks sold it in 1985.
For 41 years my folks gave up rental income because the local government was at odds with local mores. It had been hard enough for my family to be accepted in that tight knit neighborhood (we were Italian) and my father was not willing to put that work at risk.
So you see, it may not have been called "cancelling" back in 1954, but a price had to be paid to live in a manner the government did not approve.
I'd refuse to sell for that reason alone.
I wonder if Lot came to buy their house would they sell to him? Or if a heterosexual couple, one or both of whom had been divorced before, wanted to buy the house would they sell to them?
It's not so much the homosexuality, as the Pride! in homosexuality.
Sin can be forgiven if one is repentant. But not if one takes Pride! in their sin.
I've never heard of a Divorce Pride! march.
So then it's not so much adultery but pride in adultery?
Don’t worry, they will lose their home and everything they own.
So, according to you, no Christian should ever act against sins? Two homosexuals want to sodomize each other in public, no one should stop that either?
It is a sin. And after forgiving, Jesus said Go and Sin no More.
So then, and by your logic, anytime self entitled social justice warriors don’t get their way, the ones denying them are not showing “love”?
Are you serious?
Calling people “jerk-offs” makes Christ more attractive then?
Oh, please do enlighten us by pointing out specific passages that approve of two men shacking up in a romantic relationship. We’ll wait.
With all due respect I find that laughably narrow intepretation a silly justification for judging most people on most things, counter to Christ’s teachings.
