Can I insist I be allowed to advocate adultery and claim God loves adulterers? Because--actually he does!
< But adultery, of course, is still a sin!
Matthew Chapter 19: He (Jesus) answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate. And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery.”[”
AND: 28 "But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart."
Now that last verse is pretty tough, as almost every man commits, some several times a day. I know I do and have, and must ask for forgiveness and strength to overcome it. BUT--and here's the important part!--I do recognize that adultery is sinful and wrong, and I DO NOT ask God to bless my sinful behavior, nor ask His followers, that is, Christians to celebrate it because I think it is OK.
Only hypocrites excuse homosexual sex as a sin but not other kinds of sins. ALL are sins! To ask a church or Christian to excuse sin of any kind is simply wrong. Of course we love all men as our neighbor, just as our Lord asks us to, but we do not love the sin itself.
Great post !
