There is a Christian guy in Denver, Colorado, Jamie Sanchez, who felt “called” in 2012 to open Recycle God’s Love, a charity project for homeless people. It’s expanded since he opened it, but it is small in financial terms. Unlike many “non-profits” which are marred by greed, deceit, and essentially money-laundering, Recycle God’s Love seems legit, with volunteers working there and an overall budget in the $100,000 range.
Besides offering meals to 300-400 people daily, Recycle God’s Love provides clothing, wound care, hygienic supplies, help with obtaining official ID, haircuts, and, of course, the Gospel. In 2023, it opened a cafe to provide employment and job skill opportunities. Notably, Recycle God’s love does not receive government funding.
The organization’s website has an 800-word statement identifying “what we hold to be true.” Eighteen of those words are “We believe that a homosexual lifestyle is contrary to God’s Word and purpose for humanity and is sin.”
The statement lists several other sins, including thievery, murder, extra-marital sex, adultery, and hating your neighbor. It adds, though,
Moreover, this organization is instructed to Love those living such lifestyles. We Believe that showing hate towards people in these communities is not the way Jesus would respond. Therefore, although disagreeing with the lifestyles we believe to be sinful, we must show love.

The devil and the world hates God.
Unless they repent, they will suffer eternal damnation. I KNOW this to be true.
The road to heaven is the hard path, full of thorns and brambles. The road to Hell is easy and wide. Believers will have tribulations.
“Love the sinner, hate the sin” is exactly the example Christ showed in the Gospels. But many churches today allow or even approve of sin in order to draw in more members. This just encourages people to be sinners and go to Hell, however. There is no love in that.
Moreover, this organization is instructed to Love those living such lifestyles.
Is it love or punishment? They can look the same in many situations.
So, what is the difference?
The hearts of the giver and receiver. God been loving you recently?
My grandad found out that when he was in high school, listening to rock n’ roll music, dancing, dating, going to a drive-in, etc., were all sinful. And yep, he did all those things so I guess he’s doomed.
None of those are sins according to God. They are all rules from men who falsely claim they are from God.
“ All in all, this is pretty standard true Christian doctrine.”
Not sure why he had to add “true” and emphasize it with italics.
Correct.
I know. It was preachers who come up with all these different sins over ideas they don’t like. Some more were: watching TV on Sunday, women wearing lipstick, powder and paint (gleaned from NT Pauline verses), etc. Outside of the “Commandments” what specific sins are listed in the Bible?
