Jesus loves sinners. Sin is sin, whether gay or straight, it is "missing the mark". When confronted with that woman at the well, He did not condemn, did He?
I am happy with my relationship with God, my FRiend. I understand the Gospel. It is Good News, and Paul explains it in his writings! Jesus did not come to condemn the world. Sin is in the world, and Scripture does not make any sin greater except blasphemy. There is no 1st degree, 2nd degree, etc. Sin is sin. I would bet a million that you are a sinner, even when you wish to be above reproach!
Do I agree with gay marriage? No. Do I condemn the gay lifestyle? Yes. Do I love the sinners? Yes, but it is not my love but the love of God within me. We are all sinners in need of redemption. We do not change our nature when we become saved, into anything but saved. We are still sinners. The moment we accept Christ as Savior, is the moment we receive His Holy Spirit, and the transformation BEGINS! It onIy ends at our physical death, but we are already new beings, thanks be to God.
YMMV!
Romans 7: ...7 What shall we say, then? Is the law sinful? Certainly not! Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.” 8 But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead. 9 Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. 10 I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death. 11 For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, deceived me, and through the commandment put me to death. 12 So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good.
13 Did that which is good, then, become death to me? By no means! Nevertheless, in order that sin might be recognized as sin, it used what is good to bring about my death, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.
14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. 15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!
So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.
I said a Christian would not could not attend a gay wedding...and you went off the rails.
Nowhere did I say that I was not a sinner, you were not breaking any news...Jesus would NOT attend a gay wedding and if you think that then you need prayer
BTW I need prayer as well...God Bless You
A gay wedding involves someone saying that God/Christ is blessing it, that`s why a Christian can NOT attend such a unholy event.
Gay marriage harms Children, no we cant attend gay weddings
We were talking about Christians attending gay weddings, you changed the subject.
Jesus would not have attended a gay wedding any more than he would have attended an abortion
Nobody was suggesting that Jesus did not love everybody. All the Scriptures you posted are spot on and wonderful and correct, but attending gay weddings or abortions is not something Jesus would have done in any way shape or form
Homosexuality harms children. I love my gay couzin, I told him sorry I can not take part in such an event, they were asking God to bless it.
Someone else responded to you very well, saying that a gay wedding is a celebration of sin, as opposed to the Tax collector etc
Sorry you had no argument
Peace
