Ok this subject really hits home to me as both of my sisters are homosexual and maybe one day I will share my testimony with you guys. First this subject is one of the Evangelicals two hot button issues the other being abortion. The sad thing as I am sure you will agree will be that we have idolized the homosexual issue to a point where we are pushing the homosexual community away from the church. This saddens me because while I do not believe that Jesus spoke on the issue or ever made it a deal breaker He did affirm marriage being a man and a woman! I think though that our Christian cliche which works for us "Hate the sin while we love the sinner" while true does us a disservice! Why can't we just hate our own sin and just love everybody in order that they may come to Jesus and be delivered! The point I think I am trying to make is that when we are involved with the cults or with the homosexual community we short change ourselves by "hating the sin" because since the one involved with that sin or heresy has become one with it hate the sin equals hating them at least in our application and there reception. We more on this maybe soon.
Now I am not saying that I agree with everything said in this video but it does I feel give some perspective on this issue!
Do you have a heart for Gays and Lesbians?
