You are exactly right. I am not going to be mean or purposely rude to someone that is gay or whom I suspect is gay but I’m not going to associate on a personal level either. That’s not homophobia but simply distancing myself from sinners and sin. God destroyed the whole world and two cities because of this behavior. Then Jesus states in St. Matthew 5:17 that he did not come to destroy the law or the prophets but to fulfill a prophecy. No where in the Bible is this behavior excused or condoned by God so I’m not going to excuse it or condone it either.
Exactly.
I’m a male nurse, and as you might expect, I know quite a few gay people. I’m cordial, and work with them without animosity or rancor, but close friends we ain’t!
A couple of them have asked me about this, since I make no secret of the fact that I am a Bible-believing Christian. My answer is “Love the sinner, hate the sin”.
I tell them all that I believe that their sin endangers their eternal soul, but it is not my place to judge them. I tell them that I pray for them, and I do.... but I’m NOT going to be any party to their lifestyle. I will tolerate their choice, but I’ll never approve of it.
